ICYMI: My #PokemonGO video is now live! I've been working on this Pokémon GO 10th anniversary retrospective for MONTHS. I hope you guys enjoy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOev...

All live service games will eventually come to an end, but it’s still weird when it happens. I don’t even play Pokémon UNITE, but it’s a shame to see it go

Episode 196 "Golbat vs. the Masked Queen Musashi! The Battle of the Ruins!!" Takeshi's Golbat evolves into Crobat, and also Musashi becomes queen for the day. Musashi's obviously the star of this one but Takeshi has some great moments as well. #DogasuWatchesJohto

Streetlight Manifesto

i hate achievements that require me to do something multiplayer related

Man, I wanted to go to see the Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution this past weekend, but it just didn’t work out this year

this year, i've done a really good job maintaining my screenshots and making any image i need ahead of time. if i'm still making one big video instead of a lot of little videos next year, i gotta make sure i keep up with the writing part lol that fell off quickly this year

despite having one more SNES game available thanks to the SN operator by epilogue, i've only played one this year. who knows what's gonna end up being my December game tbh

I can already tell I'm spending less time trying more games this year than the previous two years. BUT that also means that the games I boot up, I'm finishing. surely there's some conclusion i'll reach by the end of the year

idk if it's obvious but my website is just a tumblr blog lol idk why i don't post more of my informal thoughts on there instead of exclusively on here

I love GBC sprite work and that includes the Pokemon GSC overworld sprites. #CombotronArt

this is my new favorite page on my website. there will be a day where this is just a very long scroll. i bet other people who play video games regularly easily beat my list carkus8.net/shelf

Games Will Never Be Bad Like They Used To Be

Sakurai explains his opinion on originality and AI in a new interview: TLDR familiarity sells, but “___likes”, games with simple mechanics, etc are at most risk of being imitated by AI because their mechanics already exist originality, however, comes from creating something no one knows exists yet

Futurama

October traditions I’ve adopted over time: watching Over the Garden Wall, ParaNorman, and Night of the Living Dead. (I have Romero’s entire franchise now!) I also like to play The Walking Dead Telltale series, too. This year I’m replaying the second game as well as Michonne.

someone on the runescape subreddit posted about having 30,000 in the game and... i genuinely think that's more hours i've put into playing every video game ever. yeah, i'd be mad, too

Jagex posting how RuneScape: Dragonwilds is not living up to their visual expectations on the Nintendo Switch 2 is so funny to me because I genuinely did not notice any major issues with resolution or visual fidelity lol

Damn I never posted my operators from epilogue in tumblr lol

i already post basically my every thought regarding video games on here but i think i'mma try using my tumblr blog/website a bit more

Ok I’m having an amazing time playing RuneScape: Dragonwilds already. Who could have ever guessed I’d be woodcutting on a Nintendo Switch 2 one day? Certainly not me when I was in 8th grade!

Crobat, my second oldest Pokémon on GO from 2016, has finished hyper training and is now a hundo :)

Man, I just really love playing video games

Kirby and the World Beyond looks INCREDIBLE

SKITTY

ocarina of time looks great. i'm excited to play when it drops!

I finally finished the Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons!… so now I can start Oracle of Ages like I originally intended. I never played it as a linked game before, so I thought it’d be fun—especially since I went and got all of the rings possible

pikachu redraw 💤

for a long time, i was really resistant to emulators but i gotta admit, once the delta emulator dropped and i started using operators from epilogue, my physical game collection exploded. i bought so many more games than i ever would've considered and i plan to at least try them all. i won't resell

⚔️🔥CAPTURE QUEST: CHARIZARD🔥⚔️ I have wanted to paint this for over a decade and spent the last year of my life fighting to bring it to the finish line. Please take a look, there is a lot to see
