My grandma offered to loan me the money so I could get one in time for Xmas. Payed her back weekly through my paper route. She didn't get videogames but she was always supportive of it as a hobby. Waverace Bluestorm and Gauntlet co-op with my brother/mom made for some wonderful memories.
Happy 24th Birthday, Game Cube! Making its way outside Japan to the USA in November 2001!

Let's celebrate with some GCN eye-candy: very high resolution and quality from a press disc.

What games would you recommend to someone wanting to get into its library, peeps? What are your faves?

4yrs since I started making espresso at home. Single best hobby choice I've made in my adult life lol. Ruined most coffee places for me but honestly, oh well. It's maybe one of my favorite things to do for myself & family/friends. Latte w/ cold foam & homemade vanilla sugar from my mom.

Rebecca was one of the founders of Interplay and programmed & designed for some of the most influential games of my youth, notably Bard's Tale I & III and Wasteland. She will be missed.

I've watched this like 6x now and there's so much here that is so fucking cool. BUT jumping from rooftop to rooftop across two flying fragments of a Covenant mine after sniping it is just a straight shot of awesome. Also reminds me just how much I love the sights and sounds of Halo 2.

Just realizing I COMPLETELY forgot to post about this on Bluesky - Possessors came out this Tuesday, and I wrote for the game! It's been great to see people speaking positively about our story. I wrote about it here: blog.lauramichet.com/possessors-h...

I'm seeing variants of "ah but today's gamers just don't have attention spans so we sort of have to-" rolled out earnestly so

No. You can let those players fail. The AAA conception of handholding is silly. There's huge genres that don't do it.

You just have a bad manager making you do dumb things.

this is so cart-before-horse to me. i don't accept that people's attention spans are shorter in a way that has to matter. the problem is that we keep thinking that and "complying in advance" with the imagined boogieman of "people not paying attention nowadays". nothing done in that direction helps
You wanna know why we're having nag line discourse in 2025? Because developers know we're fighting an attention economy war we'll lose no matter what. Players don't read, have TikTok open next to them, god forbid we are scared you miss something and then blame us for not giving you all the info.

Fuck me, they really did turn Metroid 4 into a fucking Marvel movie www.youtube.com/watch?app=de...

Superhero movies are a fucking plague, they destroyed an entire generation of media- yes the first few waaaay back in the 10's were kinda fun, but they weren't worth... This.

Using Sewerslvt music in your game and then being transphobic is so fucking typical. Using our aesthetic and then dumping us to the curb
