I’m no Buddhism expert but I’m pretty sure perpetuating a cycle of anger is frowned upon and vowing vengeance in your prayer is kinda fucking unhinged

I’ve been on the fence about getting VTMB2 but then I saw its mid-upper 60s metascore. That puts in the same company as Deadly Premonition, Alpha Protocol, the EDF series, Nier, Tokyo Xtreme Racer, and all the other greatest video games ever made.

There may never be another Wave Race in this god forsaken future of ours but a random 2025 port of 1996’s Aqua Jet is precisely the soldier we need to help us float on

Pikmin Bloom’s outdated postcards “immortalized many of the real places that meant the world to me even as they’ve been lost to time…It’s an unexpected comfort that in some small way, by the grace of Niantic’s negligence, these places still live on.”

Two things I love about Edge’s prescreen highlights from the mid-90s: they feature…
1) Large bullshot spreads for old PC games I desperately want to play but can’t because they were cancelled, and
2) Genre-defining games as tiny ass footnotes below them

“Pikmin Bloom gives you a bunch of Pikmin buddies who wear silly costumes and follow you around while the app surveils all your fun little adventures together. Of course, your phone is doing that anyway…so you might as well enjoy the damn Pikmin.”

If it makes you feel better, we go to NQ64 pretty often (there are a couple in London and several throughout the UK). Their coins are completely worthless and they keep getting mixed in with our change

I appreciate the support if you’d like to check it out! It might be the 6th or 7th best thing I’ve ever written.

Commemorating 25 years of Jet Set Radio on the Sega Lounge podcast was a blast. Now I'm reminiscing about how my favorite Trinidadian restaurant had impeccable choice in bathroom graffiti back in Seattle.
