I guess that makes me the Nintendo Bastard.

The Nintendo Today "Games released on this date" is particularly stacked today: the Super Famicom, Link to the Past, Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire... and also Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival, so no joy there.

I remember someone playing this game in an IRC room, running into their first Wurmple, and freaking out about catching "Assbug".
On this day in 2002, 23 years ago, Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire were first released.

These games started the third generation and introduced 135 new Pokémon. It told the story of you stopping Team Aqua or Team Magma

I hope GameChat has taken lessons from XBLA Uno. Specifically in the area of phallus prevention.

So is the most accurate name for the Switch Uno version of today's Bamco announcement "Tales of Berseria Demastered"?

I'm at the Target boycott, I'm at the Starbucks boycott, I'm at the combination Target boycott and Starbucks boycott
Beginning Monday, a Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate drink will be available exclusively at Starbucks cafés inside Target stores.

The chains are hoping the drink can drum up excitement from customers this holiday season.

So you're telling me all of the shit writing in Fire Emblem Heroes the last 8.75 years is because it was written by a nine year old-presenting bored god?

There is nothing related to The Keighley Wank that should be construed as "leaking", the show itself is doing that.

Wish I was good enough at parody to do the "Poob Has It For You" post for Steam key sellers.

I haven't read the Bible in a while, but I'm pretty sure parts of both Testaments would call this bullshit.

"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Oh, so they're FUCKED fucked.
Ubisoft just postponed its earnings report and halted the trading of its shares. Unclear why at this point but could indicate a major announcement related to the company.
