I've been told by a younger coworker that it's rude or "passive aggressive" to add a period to text messages.

Better Kirby Air Riders amiibo than Counter-Strike skins 🤣

New: The market for Counter-Strike skins fell $1.75 billion overnight -- that's 25%.

Investors dumped money into the digital item market amid concerns about the S&P 500 and crypto. Then, last night, Valve pushed a market-breaking update to the game

Is it just me, or are the NSO icons for Mario's Super Picross absolutely terrifying?

Reminds me of my Pocketstation manual… don't choke yourself with the lanyard while walking through a doorway, don't swing it around like a flail, and don't walk into traffic while playing 😵

Cheesemonger here 👋 Can we do the same for "Yellow Cheddars"? They are clearly ORANGE!

Mole Mitts, can you dig it? Throw in shades and a big scarf for the ultimate Mole Mania cosplay 😎

How does it feel versus the original with Wiiimote and Nunchuk? I heard Switch 2 pointer controls are a bit more responsive and accurate than Switch 1…

And DKC1 and 2 are definitely my go-to happy games for a quick burst of pure joy and nostalgia. (3 requires a little more commitment but is also nice to revisit from time-to-time.)

I also find most games of the 16-bit era to be just the right length and don't overstay their welcome, including RPG's - FF4, FF6 and Chrono Trigger can all be beaten in under 30 hours and feel like a complete experience, versus today's 100+ hour epics that turn into a grind past the 70 hour mark 🫠

Awesome concept but that $300 price tag 😬

I'm tempted, but decided instead to resume my playthrough of War of the Lions on PSP instead 🤡 I've replayed the PS1 original more times than I can count, but fell off WotL for some reason. The improvement patch for modded PSPs works wonders with it!

Great article. A lot of Square's games around this time suffered similar issues (Disc 2 of Xenogears, FF8's lategame, FF9 only letting you battle through one of the four fiends dungeons, etc) But despite their flaws. I absolutely ADORE Square's bizarre, experimental output during the PS1 era.

Shadow of the Colossus on PS2. Beautiful and mysterious, a great beginning for the epic adventure about to unfold 🐎

Ooh, I did not know that Hori grip was a thing 👀 How is it, comfort-wise?

I bet @toadsanime.lostincult.co.uk would have some great connections and suggestions for the indie space!

I recognize the letterhead shown in the video as I received a response from Nintendo Power on the same stationary when I submitted tips to Classified Information 🕵️‍♂️

So the biggest Nintendo news for me this week didn't come from the Nintendo Direct - it came from a recommended video on Youtube posted by @kevinhainline.bsky.social finally putting closure to the whole Chris Houlihan debacle in LttP 🤯

Seeing "Wireless" and "Tournament Grade" in the same sentence makes me go 🤨

That being said, the wired HORI Fighting Commanders are excellent, and they all work great as a dedicated MISTerFPGA controller as well. 👍

I picked mine up at the launch of FF7. Still have my preorder bonuses from Software Etc. - the promo VHS and Cloud Strife t-shirt ✌️😄
