Did they Arezu-ify Mars in the new #TCGP expansion? I swear Mars was much less cutesy than her Legends ancestor in DP. #pokemontcgp #pokemontcgpocket

Do you know how Pokemon types being immune to status conditions work? There are *way* more inconsistencies between generations (and within them) than you'd expect.

Yes, my bio says I'm from Panama. No, don't ask me how I feel about the American Cheeto threatening to invade my country to take the Canal back and doubling down after my president stood up against it.

Maybe some kids now are of a much more "plug-and-play" disposition (which, ironically enough, was how things were at first before consoles with hard drives became a thing), but I remember when I had to set up my PS3 with very slow (for today's standards) internet and all that. Tedious but fun.
seeing a couple of those “make sure you open your kids’ new games console and install updates before xmas” posts and yeah maybe a good tip for some but read the room i guess cos that would have made me sad, the setup and tinkering and ~anticipation~ was all part of the fun for me

Thinking about it, I wouldn't want to be Tomonobu Itagaki right now:
1) Tekken is the top fighting game right now, meaning his vision of DOA dethroning it didn't fulfill.
2) Koei Tecmo controls the franchise on their own now and their only upcoming release is another "Xtreme" spin-off. Asia-only ofc

What many of the self-appointed Priests of Gaming fail to acknowledge is that a good share of so-called "hot women in games" have more stuff going about them and that's why they work. Female characters being more varied and not always looking like pin-up models doesn't make them "bad".

I might have strong opinions about GO's business model and heavy data recollection as part of it, but I love Wurmple with party hat and how it comes back every single year

Some cr*ptobros are working on a "more Web3-friendly alternative to Discord" as if the issue with Discord was it not being cr*pto enough.
They're even argue that they could have airdropped us a token instead of selling themselves to investors lmao

I love when games offer you the possibility of forfeiting a vs. match and computer players never ever use it lol
I was playing a CPU match on TGCP against a Mewtwo ex deck (not the Mewtwo x Gardevoir one tho). It took down my Moltres, but I was charging up a Charizard Ex. OHKO'ed Mewtwo. I won.

"There's a war on attractive women in games", says someone who seldom to never ever cares about what their irl, very human counterparts think & feel
All these actresses, models, even s*x workers... Do you think they do not have off-screen lives & that they do not ever feel solitude, sadness or pain?

Peak YandereDev-inspired optimization in 2024
For an unknown reason, Mario & Luigi: Brothership uses up space storing identical, but separate copies of music tracks for each area they play in. For example, the files contain 6 identical copies of the "Subjugation" music, which take up over 22 megabytes total.
