Nintendo and Indie games aficionado, also other game categories but the list would be too long!

Hopefully I get back into making Youtube videos some day lol
Did Kirby Air Riders not sell that well? I feel like my city trial lobbies fill up with bots a lot of the time

Though it’s hard to tell if they’re really bots or not

Pretty sick of all the indie horror games being released in “chapters” nowadays

Pacing and ratcheting tension is important in horror but I guess waiting a year or two in between every 3-4 hours of gameplay works too

Sakurai is genuinely such a legendary game designer, how does he do it lol

Believe it or not I have a script for a new video finished, I just need to record for it!

Unfortunately though I am severely mentally ill oops

Sometimes I remember Pokey is playable in Mario Kart and I smile, truly we have won 😊

The fact that an licensed tie in for an obscure one off cable TV event accidentally had a massive impact on the Mario series has always been so interesting to me

It's like how Humans on average have 1-4% Neanderthal DNA

Y’know it just occurred to me, and I’m surprised nobody has mentioned this

Wouldn’t the dual mouse setup on the Switch 2 make a ton of sense for ARMS? As a matter of fact I wouldn’t be surprised at all if the reason ARMS is getting a free update is to implement that feature

Y'know, ever since Kirby Air Riders was announced I haven't seen a *single* person acknowledge the existence of Top Ride lmao

I mean it was 1/3 of the original game so it's totally coming back right? Could be fun if it's expanded on

That feeling when you play a life changing indie game 5 years after it came out so now all the merchandise is out of print

I'll never be able to stand with Gooper now....

Hey uh, is anyone who follows me still on here? I haven't used this site in a hot minute so I don't know how active this place is, like or reply or something if you see this lol

Hey @brandon.gvg.io and @steve.gvg.io, did either of you try out the Gyroscope pointer controls for Metroid Prime 4?

One of my big hopes for the Switch 2 was Wii style pointer controls without all the drift and constant recalibrating. But I haven't heard anything on if that hardware has improved.

Game preservation is a funny thing, because currently, we don't have an easy way to buy games like MegaMan Legends, Viewtiful Joe, at least half of the Tekken titles, and the 3D Castlevania games.

However, I can still go on Steam right now now and buy both Chicken Little tie-in games. Funny.

I swear back buttons are a feature on every alt. controller on the market, but games almost never let you map them as a unique input so I almost never use them, bummer

What's the deal with Steam Deck bumpers? No joke I've had 3 of them now break in the exact same way after minimal use but I've seen nobody talk about this issue like it's super common

Like I'm the one person who never had Nintendo Switch Drift, I think all my luck points went towards that lol

The SG-1000 is such a fascinating bit of history, you'd think Sega's first ever videogame console would leave SOME sort of impact, but even most gaming nerds have no idea it exists, including me for the longest time.

Sega sure as hell has never referenced it lol

God I hate Warner Brothers
BREAKING: Warner Bros. Games is shutting down Monolith Productions, Player First Games, and WB San Diego, sources tell Bloomberg News.

Warner Bros. is also canceling the Wonder Woman game.

Still bugs me to this day that out of ALL the companies that could have bought the rights to Hudson Soft’s IPs, it was Konami

No collections or re-releases, all we get is one mediocre Bomberman game once in a blue moon, so lame.

Big flea market haul! Lots of video game history and also a possum

I wish people could be kind, and like, think critically about things

Would be nice if that incredibly low bar could be passed more often

I think I'm enraged 24/7 these days, everything is always so terrible and it genuinely feels like there is no hope

People need to organize, it's the only escape valve at this point.

Because of all the Donkey Kong design discourse I've been thinking about what a modern redesign of Candy Kong would look like, I think it's pretty obvious that the reason she's the only major Kong that never comes back is because of uh, y'know
