Discord DM from yesterday with my friend David. He has sent me an image of the new Steam Controller: a DualSense-style device with GIANT trackpads underneath the sticks, enlarging the overall frame. His caption is "oh good lord". My response is "RUB HIS BELLLYYYY".

Adam West in The Simpsons: "And how come we don't make 'Halo Killers' anymore?" Adam West: "Remember 'M.A.G.'...?" Homer, Bart and Lisa watch on in concern.

Oh, I'm THERE.

Also special shoutout to the apparently long-forgotten lore that Wario LOVES crepes

I think this interview with the Mario Land 2 devs already went around a few months ago but we're bringing it BACK baby (via shmuplations.com/supermariola...)
Screenshot of a written interview: Speaker: There’s a lot of really charming enemies in Super Mario Land 2. I especially liked the “Be” flies from Tree Zone and Mario Zone. Where did they come from? Hosokawa: They’re impossible to step on. We call them “the flies that do nothing”! Kiyotake: I love useless characters that do nothing in games, so the first time I saw the Be fly I burst out laughing. I said, I know there will be people who hate this, but let’s leave it in anyway! Totaka: I loved that character too. I put extra effort into his sound effects. (laughs) Kiyotake: If we had had more time, I would have liked to program in some way for the player to be able to stomp on them. Totaka: No way, it’s better to leave it this way!!! [attached is an image of The Be Fly, captioned "the flies that do nothing"]

Sorry is this really where we're at now
Three search suggestions for Cliff Richard. Two of them (the first one from Wikipedia!!) are sporting very obvious AI summaries that the search engine has presumably injected. Both summaries sport a very slight variation on the same core statements. #1: "Learn about the life and career of Cliff Richard, a British singer and actor who has sold over 250 million records worldwide. Find out his achievements, awards, controversies, and personal details from his birth in India to his current residence in New York." #2: "Learn about the life and achievements of Sir Cliff Richard, one of the most successful British artists of all time. Find out his real name, his famous songs, his relationship status and his net worth."

How were these both completely distinct games from different studios, released like a year apart from one another
Box art for Haze. It's a space marine guy in a yellow helmet, with a crack revealing a VERY angry eye underneath. Boxart for Timeshift. It's a very similar looking space marine dude in a yellow helmet, this time in the pouring rain. It's *remarkably* grey even for the era.

Okay, sorry - one more because the wording here is so much

Screenshot of two posts from the "Mario's face" discussion page on Mario Wiki. Text reads: [Topic] "A couple things" "1. As discussed years ago, shouldn't we mention the face's appearance in the Super Mario Bros Super Show's opening? 2. Shouldn't we mention other characters' heads here as well like add the images of characters heads such as the file icons from Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 and the face lift images from Mario Party 1 & 2's Face Lift minigame in the image section?" --TheGreenBeetle (23:05, December 4, 2019) [no replies] [Topic] "Mario's head appears in every game." "Mario's head appears in every game. Whenever there is a icon of Mario, it means that it is Mario's head. That also applies to other characters too. Because of that, there should be articles like Luigi's head, Peach's head, Toad's head, Link's head, etc. That is the thing." - [anon IP address] (18:12, August 5, 2021) [Reply #1] "This article is specifically about Mario's face as an interactable thing like in Super Mario 64, it does not cover any instant where Mario's head is just a menu icon. Articles for the other character's heads would just be repetative and redundant." - Nightwicked Bowser (18:26, August 5, 2021) [Reply #2] "OK." - [anon IP address] (18:27, August 5, 2021)

why does this have massive "iPad kid" energy
Screenshot of a minigame from Mario 64 DS, where a giant Mario head on the top screen is looking downwards curiously at three Tox Boxes in the desert. The player objective reads "Where's Yoshi?". There is a very nonchalant render of Yoshi standing just above the text.

I played this for the first time a decade ago on a PSP-3000 in a shitty aftermarket controller grip, and boy did that thing CREEEAK as I was holding onto it for dear life in the sweatier parts
The aforementioned PSP "comfort grip". It slides outwards to fit the device, but it never quite feels like it's actually holding anything properly. The plastic smelled like those ultra slim dollar-store DVD cases that they used to sell public domain cartoons in. The struggle!

People 100% burying the lede that Labo VR mode still works on Breath of the Wild Switch 2 Edition. Crossing everything this whole thing SOMEHOW just works as it did. I literally kept my original Switch just to play VR stuff lol

Also I trust your judgment on who this is supposed to be (I'd imagine it also makes much more sense given the setting) but the incidental Thatcher resemblance here does help this image a LOT.
A CG cartoon green rat points a revolver at an older human woman. The woman has a large ginger bouffant, arched eyebrows and a blue coat. Her expression bears the ineffable grimace of either fear or anger. A blue bulldog observes from behind.

Getting far too much enjoyment out of this Gumtree ad that reads like a terse post-match interview

Re-familiarising myself with Panty and Stocking after watching the first couple eps of the new series (it's good, folks!). Cannot believe I let myself forget about the funniest part of this whole revival saga.
Wikipedia screenshot: "On November 25, 2016, the official Twitter account for Gainax West posted an announcement teaser image featuring silhouettes of Panty and Stocking with the words "Comming [sic] Soon". An announcement for "something new with Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt" was to be made on December 16, 2016, which Gainax West stated would not be a pachinko, pachislot, social network game, or Blu-ray.[21][22] On December 16, 2016, various Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt projects were announced.[23]" Image of Panty and Stocking silhouetted against a blank background, emblazoned with the words "COMMING SOON" [sic]

Bubsy 4D could be great in the end, but I will *never* forgive their stolen valour
Rear box art of "Blinx the Time Sweeper". Headline reads "The First 4-D Action Game Ever... Only on Xbox!" The body text expands on this: "The 4th Dimension is Time, and Blinx™ has it at his command".
