If you need a reason to grab the recently released and very excellent Morsels, it has the best Psychedelic Rock soundtrack since High On Life (the most redeeming element of High on Life)

In Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts (2008, Xbox 360), you can place propellers on the top of your land vehicles and set them to push air downwards. This creates enough downtrust to compensate the lack of friction of high-speed engines and jets, and allows for tighter turning.
i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago
so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

Silksong’s fascination with religion is obvious from the beginning. But only in examining the game’s conclusion(s) does its perspective become clear — this is a story about the apocalyptic finish line, a story about the end of stories. And it is also about what comes after.

This is Sektori! A twin-stick shooter I've been making (and documenting the journey) since April 2021. And it finally launched TODAY on Steam, PS5 and Xbox! Here's a fresh launch trailer, all shares highly appreciated. More game info in replies.

I'll have more to say on the pod, but I've been playing Sektori for weeks now on Steam Deck and it is my ideal arcade shooter. I've been waiting for years for something that could match my love for Geometry Wars 2, and this has successfully reached that impossible standard.
It's basically perfect.

All prepared for tomorrow's announcements 😮💨 Unlikely to livestream my thoughts as I'll be just out of work, but will likely have a video of how accurate my nomination predictions were - followed by predicting winners from the confirmed noms 🙏

Underrated funny detail of Metroid Prime 4 is they've now given Samus an animation for using the scan visor, which seems to be the professor x point and two fingers on the temples, wheras in the previous ones she didn't do anything

Severing the last tie to the GAMESD era, I've decided to give the old end screen graphic an update 😌 Coming soon to a HOTCYDER video near you (2025 vs 2017)

We're also looking for people to help cover the game! If you make review videos, stream games, write articles, or whatever, hit me up! Or if you have a friend who does, have them hit me up too! Both for our benefit (obviously) and to do justice to the devs who lent us their characters as guests!
You know what's also Berserk?

I don't post questionable YouTube comments (and won't be making it a habit) but I'd be interested in hearing smarter games people weigh on this: do you think competitive aspects of video games are anti-art (and thus, unqualifying for a GOTY conversation)
