I would never wish this on anyone. My condolences to their loved ones...
A Black cosplayer named ash squidkid passed recently due to anti Black harassment.

They were constantly bullied and it became too much.

This is why the anime community sucks.

Its why its very hard to support any of it when creators and participants practice racism towards consumers that are Black

Retro games are special in a way I’ll never be able to fully explain…

Those pixelated stories held us up through childhood storms…
and taught us courage long before we even understood the word.

Call them “dated”…
but they gave us hope.

And they carried us farther than anything else ever could 💙💙

If Expedition 33 shook you,
if it cracked something open inside you,
then you need to play Lost Odyssey.

A story where the biggest moments aren’t battles…but memories. And those memories will seep deep into your soul and stay with you long after the credits fade.

Truly a masterpiece 💙

I'm looking at you specifically, Elder scrolls VI lol

I and almost everyone I knew had a PS2. It was always going to be an uphill battle.

But judged as a console, the GameCube was a step in the right direction compared to the N64, from the switch to discs to the oft-beloved controller.

It had fun games too, all of which are compatible with most Wiis.
Nintendo GameCube officially released 24 years ago today!

The GameCube had an uphill battle. It sold the least next to PS2 and XBOX, no DVD support, etc.

But it DID have great games, and it might be even more beloved today than it was during the 6th Gen!

Are YOU a GameCube fan?

The Xbox brand always had promise and potential. The OG for example, while forever overshadowed by the PS2, was actually considerably more powerful.

It's a shame that after all that traction and good will from the 360 era, Microsoft dropped the ball hard with the Xbox One reveal.
On this day 24 years ago, the Xbox was released in North America, 24 years ago (2001)

ko-fi.com/riesonomura started a job lately but i get paid later in the month and i'll miss a week of pay, as is the norm when i start remote jobs (something about pay periods). Also, I missed an appointment on 11/7, which set me back $50. #mutualaid #maboost #helpsky 💕💸

It's definitely not the worst 3D Sonic game ('06 takes that title out of every one I've played, and I've not heard many positive things about Secret Rings), but there's also far better ones like Adventure 1&2, Colors, and Generations in terms of gameplay.

Meanwhile, the tone is...something...
Shadow the Hedgehog released 20 years ago today!

And it seems like enough time has passed, so I have to ask...

Is this game really THAT bad? 👀

By far the definitive Mega Man 1 experience and it's not even close. The PSP did receive many other remakes including Final Fantasy, Castlevania, and Ys, but the upgrade in quality here cannot be overstated.

This (and Maverick Hunter X, besides the Day of Sigma OVA) also never got ported anywhere.

The Symphony of the Night redub is overhated, as legendarily cheesy and quotable as the old dub was.

Maria no longer sounds older than she actually is, and the nightmare sequence was localized more faithfully.

Unironically though, Robert Belgrade and Yuri Lowenthal were both solid Alucards.

To my speculation brain-rotted self in 2015, this was the most shocking event ever. The old notion that third party fighters needed a strong presence on Nintendo systems was shattered.

That aside, he's friggin' Cloud! If it wasn't exhilarating to have him fight Link or Shulk, I don't know what is.
10 years ago, history was made. A day we never thought would come arrived, shocking millions around the world.
Cloud Strife was announced to be a playable character in Smash 4.

You matter.

Not in the way people usually say it.
Not in the “chin up” or “you’ve got this” way.

I mean you…exactly as you are right now. With all your hurt, your warmth, your doubts, your quiet strength.

You are not a burden.
You are a pulse…alive, human, enough.

And I’m glad you’re here 💙🫂
