the yakuza fanbase figured out years ago that as long as they don't care how similar a game looks to its predecessor, they can play a brand new game that's an instant banger roughly every two years or so, often with pretty good spin-offs on the off-years

Reading internet reactions to the Krafton vs. Unknown Worlds drama, I think something getting lost is that dozens of employees thought they were on track to get life-changing bonuses and then suddenly saw them blow up. There’s still hope that Krafton will remedy that, but no straight answers yet

The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy took more than five years to make and nearly bankrupted the Japanese studio behind it. I spoke to director Kazutaka Kodaka (also the creator of Danganronpa) about the wild, ambitious game — and why he's making it even bigger www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

the -slop suffix technically has a meaning but it is so context dependent as to be irrelevant. it can be ironic or sincere, endearing or derogatory, possessive or descriptive and applied to literally any word you can think of conclusion: -slop is an honorific

"I have this big Millennium Falcon LEGO that my wife got me as a wrap gift when I finished 'Superman' and its still sitting in my closet at home ... Maybe that's what I'll do for opening weekend. I'll just turn my phone off and do this enormous LEGO for two days" — David Corenswet 🎥 Greg Williams

I hate how Ghost of Yōtei looks similar to its predecessor, one of the best looking games on current console hardware.

Watching people continue to grapple with not understanding how long games take to develop these days is fascinating.

Julia Garner was asked about criticism over the 'gender-swapped' Silver Surfer role in #FantasticFour “I'm just going to still do my job ... and also, it's Shalla-Bal, so it's different" (via BBC)

Chasing realism in games visuals is okay I guess. I'd rather embrace characterful stylized weirdness.

If you don't know Dan, he's the dev behind Luck Be a Landlord; the game that inspired me to make Balatro and influenced tons of other devs to expand on this genre he shaped His newest game Maze Mice just left early access! You should check it out! I'm going to be playing it all weekend

[craning the camera weird in Tsushima to look at a blade of grass] lol this is like 6 polys and flat green get real [putting my eyeball 10mm from the surface of A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grand Jatte] lmao this is like just all dots haha [3 Art Institute of Chicago guards tackle me]

I love this so much.

Today marks 10 years since Satoru Iwata passed away tragically from cancer. I will always hold a special place in my heart for this man who gave so much to all of us. A wonderful human who knew he was a gamer first and foremost above being Nintendo CEO. May he continue to Rest In Peace.

Nobody cared who I was until I put on the mask.

David Corenswet yelled 'Fuck you' in-character at Rachel Brosnahan while filming #Superman “The way she delivered one particular line made me sort of involuntarily say, ‘Oh fuck you' ... She caught me off guard and made me feel really hurt in that moment" (via People)

#Superman opens with $22.5M in domestic previews 💰 The biggest preview night of the year so far

Superman is very fun and hits on some themes and plot points that reflect some of the horrible things happening in the real world while using them to reinforce why the character is so beloved. I can see why the chuds, hogs, and thumbs are so upset. And I am glad to see it.

Update: The lawsuit against Krafton is for breach of contract. The complaint is under seal so no new info there yet

I don't know about y'all, but I'm thankful every single day that video games are a part of my life. We really do have the best hobby in the world.

You’re telling me Lex Luthor, a man driven by envy whose rabid disciples think he’s going to make a tech utopia in comic book Palestine, has a secret army of genetically modified monkeys incessantly posting Superman hate to skew public opinion? 🤔

Reported salaries for the #Superman cast • David Corenswet — $750K • Rachel Brosnahan — $750K • Nicholas Hoult — $2M All three are in line for box office bonuses if the film performs (via Puck News)

Sakurai says Kirby Air Riders is shaping up to be something great. He also talked about Iwata who passed away 10 years ago: "Ten years have passed since then… Iwata and I were about ten years apart in age. I’ll be catching up to him in age now, won’t I?" automaton-media.com/en/news/masa...

I can't believe there's a Superman movie in theaters that we all love. WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE! ❤️

Ten years since Satoru Iwata's untimely passing. When we picked up a Wii for the first time three years ago, and we got to the Console Nickname config, there was only one choice for it. 💜 Few other, if any, company presidents or CEOs could do this, and it feel genuine. Much missed.

Still looking for more people for this - if you know a dev who is interested in this initiative and might be down to chat to me about it, pls tag them!

its's time for a final fantasy

I would simply rather leave the internet lol

I'm always saying this

It might be hard to imagine now, but seeing a Final Fantasy game that looked like this in 1997 was absolutely INSANE.

Digging around in an old Comiket 68 (2005) doujinshi CD, 'Tantaka CG Collection', and came across something that appeals to the Mega Drive fangirl in me: MEGAne DRIVE. 💜 Felt like our Mega Drive tower-of-power lovin' gal deserved the CRT treatment as well <3 archive.org/details/mega...

Seeing Superman tonight with the partner. No, not giving my thoughts because mf’s can’t just enjoy things, they gotta write a thesis on what they disliked on other people’s posts.

Happy 7th anniversary to Octopath Traveler! This is a game I recommend to any Turn Based RPG fan. Definitely one of my favorite games on Switch.

It's time to guess that tune! Difficulty level: ⭐️⭐️⭐️️⭐️ Hint: It doesn't take alchemy to know this one, but it helps if you're adept! This song and many more are available via the Nintendo Music smart-device app.

Choose Your World... One of my favourite animated game menus. 💜 Most of the time, though, with Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri Planetary Pack, I chose vanilla Alpha Centauri. I don't think Alien Crossfire added all that much, and some of the new factions didn't feel very well implemented.

We have successfully covered a fireplace with a television without it being all r/tvtoohigh, this is my proudest moment. I even hid the PC inside and have it venting hot air through the chimney.

Hey @grubb.wtf heard your chat about Gamepads on Game Mess Mornings today and you're right, this market has been one of the better accessory segments when it comes to growth. 2024 US spending on Gamepads hit $1.6 billion, an all-time high.

"did you get enough sleep?" me:

Mama Cox asked me if I wanted to see #Superman  She doesn’t go to theaters often so I was like, sure 🤙 The entire movie I was thinking “oh they just throw you into this, is this too much for her?” When it was over she said it her favorite since 1978. @jamesgunn.bsky.social she loved it.

IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE!!!! THE RECENT "FAILURES" OF THE MAINLINE FF FRANCHISE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THOSE GAMES BATTLE SYSTEMS!!!!

July 11 2003, Kirby Air Ride debuted on the GameCube in Japan! Though this Masahiro Sakurai directed game released on the GameCube, it was in development and shown as far back as 1995 on the Nintendo 64 (all the photos above) Various Nintendo-core reasons pushed the game back almost 10 years!
