So humbling and fun to buy a new @lostincult.co.uk book from @bullmoosestores.bsky.social, where I've been shopping since high school!

I hope everyone loves Anime Archives as much as I do. Another fantastic collab with @harpercollins.bsky.social 🥳

I need people to understand if these leaked Pokémon development budgets are real, then these games are making like literally 40-60x their budget back in gross revenue (or more!!) LMAO

Right now you go to a retirement home and you've got grandpa listening to Frank Sinatra over the gramophone. Boring as hell. When I'm 75 listening to The Life of Pierre 4 in the home that's gonna be sick as hell

When Skybox was looking for people to write about games that are absolutely singular, totally unassailable by AI, there was simply nothing that sprang to mind quite like Excitebots. WHAT A GAME!

yeah kind of but the eyes are on stalks and the way the weavil wings come out aren't really the right configuration

I thought it was a bee fly, it seemingly isn't. I live in Connecticut if that helps narrow it down. I can't figure out what the fuck this guy is!!!! It was so cool but now it eludes me...........

Do I know any bug experts? Today I saw an insect with 4 or 6 long, spindly legs and an almost triangular, furry body. It had two sets of two wings, the wings joined at almost a right angle. Its eyes protruded on long stems and it had a beak of some kind that was sucking nutrients from a dandelion🧵

To be fair though: I think the Forgotten Land added levels were awkwardly handled and the Switch 2 version of Galaxy 2 looks a bit funky and the controls are a tad off. So it's also maybe just a case of neither being great ways to revisit a pair of games I've loved for a long time

Abram Buehner @abrambuehner.bsky.social · 7d

Playing the Forgotten Land Switch 2 Edition after Donkey Kong didn't move me despite loving Forgotten Land on Switch 1. I'm feeling similarly playing Galaxy 2... I wanna jump back into Odyssey bc I might be so enamored with these sandbox 3D platformers to where the linear ones aren't hitting now

I wonder if Nintendo is going to keep us in suspense for a week like Emio. Feels like a bad idea here when the answer is, in all likelihood, that this tease is not for a game but "just" some animated shorts from Nintendo Pictures. If that's what this is, will it be deflating after a week of mystery?

IGN @ign.com · 8d

Nintendo has just released a mysterious animated short film with no explanation — leaving fans wondering whether it's a tease for the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy Movie, or a hint at a new Pikmin game. bit.ly/4h6byy4
