It's been a long time coming but I've finally caught up with all my current games and can get back to 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim 💜

I love that McDonald's gives me the option to either spend $5.50 or $6.00 on the McDouble Value Meal

Samorost 3 released in 2016. I decided to finally play through it today! I adore the games by @amanita-design.net and the music by Floex

There is such a sense of magic and whimsy to their games. It feels as much like a game as a toy that you can have fun with even if you are just clicking around 🚀🎺

If you're having a bad day, or even if not
You should groove to the Lizard Bop!

Snagged a copy of Billion Road on eBay after seeing how fun the game looked on Game Grumps and realizing that it has been delisted from all digital storefronts

Can someone out there explain to me how so many various third party websites like Fanatical and Green Man Gaming can offer huge sales on Steam keys?

How do these sites make money?

How do they get these keys to sell?

How is any of it possible or legal?

Just wondering 🤔

Thanks!

I know the hate on for Pokopia is at an all-time high after the GKC announcement, but also hello Mosslax

This is my new Halloween tradition to watch the intro to Super Skele Bros on N64
In Super Smash Bros., the skeletons visible when characters are hurt by electric attacks are not tied to specific animations, and instead are a form that can be toggled on and off at any time, including in cutscenes. Below are excerpts of the game's intro, with skeletons.

This Night Manor long sleeve from Fangamer kicks so much ass #UFO50

I can't believe that in a smaller Kirby title like Dream Buffet there are still 115 tracks totalling almost 5hrs of music 😨

I want so bad not to give a shit about Pokemon Pokopia but dammit I know I'm gonna play a hundred hours of this thing

I recently realized how much Diancie looks like it should be an evolution of Carbink

I also realize that the Pokedex entries for Diancie confirm that, but only in X and Omega Ruby

I had Y and Alpha Sapphire which make no mention of the connection!

I'm late to this but I think that's fascinating!

I've really been enjoying the juggle of games I'm playing lately!
- Pokemon Legends Z-A (In Post-Game)
- Digimon Story CyberSleuth (On Chapter 8)
- Clair Obscure Expedition 33 (~80% through)

Yesterday just cleared Visages in Clair Obscure, what a wild looking area with some really cool designs

Ken's Theme from Street Fighter Alpha can't be extended long enough!

Street Fighter Alpha was my 1st ever experience with SF and I'd utterly forgotten about it's incredible OST

Thanks @seanseanson.bsky.social for reminding me with your Every Capcom PS1 Game video
