Same but different 😂 #Pokémon #NintendoDirect

/cc @themarsyorha.com @viridian.bsky.social
@viridian.bsky.social called the new game "PokémonCraft"; @themarsyorha.com called it "Ditto Dragon Quest Builders"; and I called it "Pokémon Crossing New Horizons".

New favourite #PTCGP card. 😍 #Pokémon #Togepi
A screenshot of a Togepi card from "Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket". A cute, flat-design style Togepi, outlined in blue, sits against a backdrop of 90s-style colourful shapes and swirls.

I love this game. 😆

#Persona5X runs pretty well on my #Anbernic RG406H! ...Apart from the fact it loads like it's on a 3.5" floppy disk. 😬

This isn't edited. 😬💾

I swear I saw an article that said #Persona5X was unlocking at 7pm UK time today... but this suggests 4am UK time *tomorrow*. 🥲 (11pm Wednesday ET, 8pm Wednesday PT)

I hate games that let you preload them; it makes the waiting so much worse. Here's hoping the servers cope... 🤞

#Persona #P5X
The P5X title screen. A message reads, "Maintenance is currently underway to prepare for the launch of service. Service is planned to start on June 26, at 3:00 AM UTC. Exact start time may vary. Please chck the notices for more details. Data can be downloaded in advance from the title screens by pressing Download."

YES YES, DO IT, IT'S AMAZING

I love all the Two Point games, but especially Hospital and Museum. 😍

Huh! I didn't expect the rumoured #Retroid dual-screen device to be... a clippy lil' screen. But I like it – it's nice that they're not pointlessly forcing people to buy a whole new handheld.

I... still don't trust their hardware any more, though. 😬 #RetroidPocket
A render of the Retroid Dual Screen Add-On. A Retroid Pocket 5 is shown, in a grip accessory, and there's another screen clipped on. It looks like the screen can fold down to create a faux "clamshell" design.

Not on here much lately, but I saw this on Tumblr and thought, @fuzzerhop.bsky.social would want to see this

#Pokémon
A Tumblr user posted, "Performing the 'U-Turn of blowjobs' because I do a little bit and run away, and also it does Bug-type damage." Another user reblogged the post, pretending to be the Pokémon that got swapped in, and adding, "oh, what the fuck?" The original poster responded: "Take Stealth Rock damage for me, boy."

#Persona5X global release! Fucking finally! 🦉

The Japanese release date will be revealed 🔴LIVE tomorrow at 3pm UK time (10am ET / 7am PT) – and Eurogamer seems to think we'll find out the western release date, too. #Persona

Direct stream link: youtu.be/PXGxXcR6ftg
A Phantom Thieves calling card, in the familiar Persona 5 style – but with a different cloaked, masked character – and bearing the slogan "Retake Your Desire".

About to start rewatching The Melancholy of #HaruhiSuzumiya.

Does anyone else find "The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya" is the arc they dread, and think of as "the boring arc" – NOT Endless Eight? 🤔 #KyonKunDenwa

If you could get with / marry / kill any video game character, who would you choose?

I'd get with Kyle Hyde, marry Apollo Justice, and kill Luke Triton 👀

And I'll nominate @mikeke352.bsky.social
Handsome, brooding Kyle Hyde from "Last Window" Über earnest Apollo Justice from the "Ace Attorney" series Dead-eyed, irritating Luke Triton from the "Professor Layton" series

I... don't like this Wigglytuff. 🫤 #Pokémon #PTCGP
A screenshot of a full-art Wigglytuff card from "Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket". The Wigglytuff has been rendered in a weirdly realistic style placing it squarely in the "uncanny valley". It's staring at the camera with it's enormous blue eyes, as if it knows your deepest, darkest secret.

Did anyone else get a "The Nintendo Direct presentation is about to begin" notification from #NintendoToday JUST as it was ending? 💀

Nintendo please do better, I'm begging you

#NintendoDirect
An Android notification reading: "Nintendo Today! - 15:03 - The Nintendo Direct presentation is about to begin."

WELL, if the UK cuts to disability benefits have achieved anything, it's "fucking radicalising me overnight".

I feel like my eyes have been opened and my entire world view has shifted. It's kind of liberating. Pic related. 😬

Five reasons why “Two Point Festival” will be next in the series: www.criticalchicken.com/five-reasons...

I’m onto you, @twopointstudios.bsky.social... 👀

Right now, #TwoPointMuseum is all I want to do, with every minute of my time.

It's now... 3:08am and I'm tearing myself away from it, but I've been going to bed at 7am some 'nights' since it came out. 👀
A screenshot of a prehistoric-themed museum in "Two Point Museum". An aerial view shows two large museum buildings -- one still quite underdeveloped, the other absolutely crammed with guests and exhibits.

Lmao, I guess #Reddit is toying with the idea of letting people pay to... not trigger its spam filters? I am so fucking done 😆
A screenshot of a Reddit survey I just filled in. The question reads, "Which of the following features would be MOST or LEAST valuable to you when deciding whether to purchase a Reddit Premium subscription?" The options given are, "Your account won't be flagged as spam", "Access early or beta features to use & test", "Automatically get the highest Contributor Program payout tier", and "Ad-free browsing".

Lol, I've been playing since Day 1, and I did NOT know these went up to "4".

Naturally, I got a Gible out of it. 🥲 #Pokémon #PTCGP
A screenshot of the "Wonder Pick" feature from "Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket", showing a Wonder Pick that's worth 4 Wonder Stamina. Presumably because of the full-art "Adaman" Trainer card.
