Imagine passing on an experienced engineer for a vibe coder. AI was such a fuckin mistake man. I hate it here.

I just realized Iโ€™ve posted about our dearly departed Onion, and our baby Button, but never our sweet boy Mushroom! Anyway, this is Mushroom. He will lick you because his brain is wrong.

rip whoever wrote this banger because all I can find is a screenshot with the post info cut off

I think consoles are going the smartphone route. Whenโ€™s the last time you saw a smartphone advertised by MSRP rather than monthly payments?

Mat Piscatella@matpiscatella.bsky.social

You may never be able to afford a console again, but I'm sure an ad supported, subscription based cloud gaming service will more than make up for it.

Day 3 of Evo is here, Iโ€™ll be on the showfloor for a good while today before checking out finals. If you havenโ€™t got a chance too, I have my book of memories for my brother Brolylegs. If you want to sign or leave a message, find me!

A brand new on-rails shooter!

It seems Star Fox is a hit and I think the devs are well in place to continue with the series and release a sequel in 2-3 years. What would you like them to do? A)Screw it, Adventures Remake B)Skip Adventures, introduce Krystal via Assault Remake C)Permission to go in whatever direction they want

Letโ€™s vote Colin in this November!

The results are in and we're going to the general election this fall! Thank you to everyone who volunteered, contributed, and believed in our campaign! The people of AD 51 want change. I am a candidate that had no name recognition and minimal resources.

You can only pick one real-life cheat code... - $100,000 - No fall damage The debate rages on The MinnMax Show. youtu.be/M68OMxYU1XQ

Rebirth is best elsewhere, but this is hands-down the best price-to-performance portable experience you can have.

Derrick Bitner@bitnerd.gvg.io

FF VII Rebirth on Switch 2 may not be the ideal way to play the game from a visual standpoint, but itโ€™s mostly consistent in frame rate and the combat rarely feels compromised. @steve.gvg.io has a better tech view of its performance but I was satisfied with what I played. youtu.be/K6AKHkG4LhE?...

NGL, I would love this.

Mina the Hollower is out! I was going to just make a quick sprite, but I got a bit carried away and just ended up making a full on high-res mockup instead. Haven't even got around to playing the final release! Gotta fix that.

Nintendo sent me the following comment regarding differences in Rhythm Heaven Groove between reveal and this weekโ€™s gameplay footage: โ€œNintendo Directs may contain footage of content under development.โ€ Hard to say what that means, but sounds like the original version is gone.

This would be so much cooler without the 007 logo

I spent a chunk of today replaying Star Fox Zero and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it.

Jon Cartwright@jon.gvg.io

Ran through all the NSO Star Fox games yesterday evening Whenever I revisit Starwing I often have a preconceived notion that it probably feels a bit janky now but that sinks away when actually playing it. Still controls and plays miraculously well

Itโ€™s just a case for holding 24 Switch games. Hereโ€™s what it looks like inside:

Best Buy will also apparently have a Mario 40th Anniversary case, may be the same case or not. According to posts it's tied to a preorder www.reddit.com/r/Mario/comm...

You knew I had to talk about the Master System! Getting to write about my childhood in Derrickโ€™s upcoming book was an immense privilege!

Derrick Bitner@bitnerd.gvg.io

1989 is also when Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap was released on Master System. It serves as the subject of @steve.gvg.io's contributor piece to my upcoming book as it was this game that was his introduction to the genre, not Metroid or Castlevania! Preorder now! www.lostincult.co.uk/metroidvania

I wrote a short essay in @bitnerd.gvg.io โ€˜s book! Go preorder it here!
