Legend of Xanadu is one of the big ones. Historically incredibly significant and a great game, too. One of the most beloved PC Engine games. So, you know, you might want to play this one.

Feel bad for begging again but DoorDash is going really poorly tonight after last night I didn’t have the car; I’m afraid of being trapped in this cycle of having no money and groceries every day and struggling to scrape money together at the last minute…can anyone help at all?

NEW: Remedy's latest game, Control Resonant, is filled with art galleries. The galleries are filled with real art When I began talking to Remedy about it, I was delighted to discover who the artists are: many are the game developers' parents My story... www.gamefile.news/p/control-re...

gamefile.newsWho made the art inside Control Resonant?When the developers of Control Resonant needed to fill their video game version of New York City with art galleries, they tapped the talents of people they knew particularly well

Today’s my birthday! It’s been a hellish year but I’m hanging in there. I’d love if people checked out my podcasts for my birthday, or maybe shared some of their favorites with their own followers. I have bunches!

Anyone else going as Pumpkin Hill from Sonic Adventure 2 for Halloween this year or just me? 🎃⛰️ The costume has a treasure hunting minigame where you can move Knuckles across the “level” and the radar necklace will blink as you get closer to the hidden emerald in the pockets 💎 I love Halloween!!

Not only is Video Game Esoterica (@videogameesoterica.bsky.social) so asleep at the wheel that he's peddling ports with malware in them now, but when called out on that he decides to try and play Internet Tough Guy... then backpedals into "haha you mad 😂" shit. Truly a blight on retro gaming.

The Super Mario Galaxy PC port (Nebula, not AstroCore) has gotten a bunch of updates and is now ready to talk about! Because why not more Mario youtu.be/WG1TfYQu7vs #gaming #gamingnews #retrogames

arcade game discourse is actually funny because every self proclaimed advocate talks about them like the average person can't understand em homie I put a quarter into the Metal Slug machine, I see the first boss then eat shit and have a good time

the whole design space of arcade games is designed to get people in and out quickly, let them see cool shit and feel awesome, then decide how much more effort, time and money they want to put in to see the rest of it

but every dude in the space is like "there is one correct way to design and play arcade games, and that's the one that's my exact preference" and they wonder why people can't get into a genre that was made for the widest possible appeal to start with

to give you an idea of the power level you're given, in the original Gunvolt 3, Gunvolt was a limited time power up state you played that could shred bosses or skip platforming entirely his moveset is basically unchanged AND you get another character who is just as powerful and has his own lifebar

Here at the Shinra office, overheard a new employee talking about video games. Turned around and told them that I have faith in three companies, the three B's: Bethesda, Bioware, and Blizzard. He turned his head away with a huge grin on his face as he said, "Yeah, those are pretty strong companies"

the USB C situation is ridiculous i needed a USB C 3.0 cable for my capture card and it was easier to just buy another one than find out that was actually compatible in my huge pile of cords i kid you not i have like 100 USB C cords and all the ones i tried did not work

we should all be pissed off at this btw. if not because sex work is legitimate work and should be treated with respect, then because you should be concerned at attempts to gentrify online spaces as pretext to court investors and force out minorities so those spaces can become part of a portfolio.
