Donkey Kong: master of foreplay

The weirdest part about Donkey Kong Bananza is that the intro of the game is basically just the intro to Starfield.

The Switch version of Link's Awakening running on Switch 2 no longer drops frames! It would frequently dip to 30 (thanks, double buffering) but now even the swamp stays locked to 60! Was worried it might need a patch or something.

Who's your spirit hoe?
A screenshot from the game Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time, a storybook scene displays a farmer raising a hoe over his head to possibly strike at a bizarre looking carrot with closed eyes and a handsome nose. The text box is a character named Ren stating the following: "Only with a magical tool called the Spirit Hoe were they able to harvest the carrot. When they used it, the carrot calmed right down."

Getting my sleep study results

Doctor: And these spikes are where your stupid brain just didn't want to breathe
Me: Oh that's not good, there's a lot of those
Doctor: Yeah, 58.3 per hour
Me: So is this why I feel like trash every day?
Doctor: This would be why you feel like trash every day.

Anyone else cry whenever they read such masterful prose?

When there's only a tiny amount left, does anyone else just pour the remainder of their soda/milk/whatever liquid real slowly, like it's going to somehow get you more?

Kid, I don't think you're deciphering an ancient language...

Oh neat, I can just roleplay as myself in Wanderstop.
A screenshot of the game Wanderstop. The player character stands in front of a large bald man named Boro, who is asking "Is everything making sense so far?" The two possible answers are: Yes. or Yes [lie] With the second option being highlighted.

If you're a REAL gamer, you'll spend 50 Nintendo platinum coins to download the March-only calendar jpeg for Xenoblade Chronicles X Remastered, which has the release date pre-circled. Also if you scroll to the bottom of the page there's a pre-order button that redirects to the DKCR HD page.
Screenshot of the redemption page for the Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition calendar... for March. That's right, it's a calendar for a single month. It costs 50 platinum points. Screenshot of the Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition March calendar page. The focus of the image is that there's two buttons that are meant to lead to a pre-order page for the game, but if you hover over wither of them (or click through, of course) you can see that it just takes you to the Donkey Kong Country Returns HD order page.

Saw this on Craigslist yesterday, still thinking about it.
A Criagslist ad for a guinea pig, the top line reads: "Guinea Pig (Santa Clara)" Underneath several images of a young guinea pig, it reads, in three separate lines in all caps: "Young Guinea Pig" "Excellent" "Ready" There is no punctuation, nor so much as a hint hint as to what these mysterious claims might mean.

There's no joy quite like the thrill of watching a Youtuber make a somber video reflecting on a topic that's deeply, personally important to them, and then they pronounce "epitome" as it's spelled like 30 times throughout the video. Maybe cap it off with an "exspecially."

You know, I wasn't sure how a Danganronpa spin-off game would be, but I gotta say... it's growing on me.

So... I've been meaning to ask. Did everyone on BlueSky just learn the word "praxis" like a month ago or something? I swear I've seen the word used once prior to posting here and now it's every third post.

I am here very specifically just to see the "Happy Sunday, gamers"-while-posting-a-photo-of-Metaphor-being-played-on-a-device crowd. Everyone else is just icing on the cake.
Two posts from two separate people, each beginning with "Happy Sunday, gamers" and each displaying a device playing the video game Metaphor ReFantazio.

Well, $152 was more than I was intending to spend on this sale, but I love me some indie games.
A screenshot of my Steam recent library purchases, listing Massacre at the Mirage, Parking Garage Rally Circuit, The Rise of the Golden Idol, Is This Game Trying To Kill Me?, Threshold, Tormenture, Temtem: Swarm, While We Wait Here, Dokimon, Beastieball, and Enigma of Fear.

Man, late-game Metaphor ReFantazio feels awfully, super-specifically familiar... Every other line for the last 2 hours has been like "oh god not here too"
A screenshot from the game Metaphor ReFantazio, in which a log of characters speaking is shown in text form. It reads as follows, with names redacted to minimize spoiler context: Character 1: Ever since REDACTED, Character 0 has everyone on a knife edge. He's erratic, and nobody knows how he'll react to those that defy him if push comes to shove. Character 2: So, at the core of it, people are scared witless, and they cling to REDACTED as a saviour rather than the devil he is? Character 1: You well know that REDACTED cares not one whit about social status, especially as a token of birthright. No amount of wealth or standing can buy his protection. Character 1: So even those who may have opposed him at first now counsel that condemning him would be imprudent, as it puts their "safety at risk."
