In 2024 I finished 52 movies, 25 video games, 14 seasons of television, 3 books, and 1 manga.

It's time for the 2025 thread.

she's fucking gaming

My cat being a weird little gremlin and attempting to game on her Switch 2. However, she lacks both limbs and opposable thumbs, which really hinders her ability to play the hit Mario Kart World game for the Nintendo Switch 2 system.

If that's the case then the ghosting on the handheld screen is even worse than I realized

As far as I can tell it cannot be disabled at a system level for handheld mode, only for docked.

Sapphire Senatrix 🏳️‍⚧️ @sapphiresenatrix.bsky.social · 3d

This may sound like a weird request, but is there any way to turn off the 120fps mode in Hades 2 for Switch 2? When playing in handheld it just looks awful because of the screen's ghosting.

I got to do a preview of Bubsy 4D for @nintendonwr.bsky.social. I do not think this game is going to appeal to everyone, but it sure as hell looks like it appeals to me, and that's the stupidest timeline.

tfw you know exactly what the game meant but you don't care and you're gonna headcanon this character as trans now

A screenshot of the text log from Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter.

Chief Warrant Officer Ashton: As his father, I am embarrassed to no end.

Estelle: Hey, that's just what boys are like at his age. They're always gonna be little mischief makers. I used to play around outside town all the time too when I was little.

Joshua: ...I guess you think a tomboy is a type of boy?

I am begging the average weeb who cries about localization to watch the scene at the end of yakuza 4 where the cop dude is about to have a boss fight with the police commissioner and he throws his badge on the ground and says "here's my resignation", and the voice acting clearly says "itadakimasu"

I was not expecting fucking RetroAchievements to apparently be the organization that walks the walk and cleans house when people tell them they fucked up.

HakethKOTB @hakethkotb.bsky.social · 10d

Okay so RetroAchievements:

Removed the Romhack
Removed the staff member pushing for it from Admin
Banned a bunch of the chuds trying to pile on
Removed some other stuff that shouldn't have been there
Reinstated and unblocked accounts that shouldn't have been

I think they're handling this right tbh

banning people for this shit but not kicking Jesse Singal is just a clear indicator of how the mods feel about actual bigotry on the site

Umbire @umbire.blacksky.app · 11d

Marginalized ppl criticizing techbro / tech feudalists and AI as a tool of fascism = grounds for popping someone's account. Doesn't matter if you the most accomodatin' soul this side of the Dixie, or if you even actually DID ANYTHING--per KC here, just being in proximity to embarrassing them?

Dead.

KC Says FREE LINK @kccomplainsalot.blacksky.app · 11d

Not for nothing but Jay responded to Link on her burner and then seemed to ban link when I pointed it out or something?

The audacity of them selling this for full price in the same year as Zero Mission, which includes a fully playable ROM of NES Metroid within it

Funny how "politically neutral" is a phrase that pretty much universally means "we will allow bigotry"

retroachievements.org/forums/topic...

Retroachievements using the "we're just neutral It's not political!" about allowing a romhack with pokemon named
"KuKlux" that's a ghost in a hood with the ability "Justified"

don't get me started on the "terrorist" pokemon

platforming hate isn't neutral
