We're about to experience the first modern recession caused substantially, and perhaps primarily, by racism.

@grubb.wtf @tolkoto.com my 5 year old daughter just said “skibidi Ohio” and I have no idea where she learned it. But I live in Texas and I don’t even think she knows Ohio is a state, so I guess that really is a thing kids are saying now.

I had grown to really like the diagonal pogo, but I switched to the straight down and it really is just so much better.

You do not in fact have to praise the guy who said homeless people should be murdered with lethal injections and then apologized four days later to save his job. Let's get a grip here.

Watching the cable news commentary on the bullet engravings is wild because none of these people seem to realize that the content of the engravings are indicative of extremely online meme brain rot

New Fire Emblem was a pleasant surprise. Dragon Quest VII remaster had some of the ugliest characters I’ve ever seen, but otherwise looked great. DK DLC, Mario Wonder DLC looked great. Metroid Prime 4 looks INSANE! Virtual Boy is very funny. I give that direct a 6/10
Ross Varner (@rossvarner.bsky.social) reply parent
The combat rules, the game looks amazing, the story is surprisingly compelling, solid characters, and great exploration. It’s a fantastic metroidvania.

I really liked that game a whole bunch.

Yeah, there’s definitely a few. But this rolling balls are the funniest imo. And Elden Ring is very good about checkpoints. Usually.

If this kind of thing happened a lot in these games I’d quit out too, but if it’s just a couple of really funny times I’ll respect the developer troll and run it back.

Alien Earth is great as long as you can accept that they just let all of these incredibly precious robot kids and alien specimens go completely unmonitored 98% of the time. It’s great even if you can’t accept that, but holy shit no one pays attention to anything at all ever in this show.

Mine will be interested for about 2 minutes, and she doesn’t ever really want to play anything. But she asks me to play Silksong so she can watch.
Ross Varner (@rossvarner.bsky.social) reply parent
My kid loves watching me play Silksong, which is wild because she’s never cared about any of the games I play. She thinks Hornet is pretty and she was immediately obsessed with her.
Ross Varner (@rossvarner.bsky.social) reply parent
Sword of the Sea is probably better, but I do recommend Herdling when you’re looking for a palette cleanser.
Ross Varner (@rossvarner.bsky.social) reply parent
If it played even half as good as Hades I’d play it dozens of hours.
Ross Varner (@rossvarner.bsky.social) reply parent
Hey…so uh…we know anyone that makes video games because you’ve got an idea here that I think could be a huge hit.
Ross Varner (@rossvarner.bsky.social) reply parent
You play Herdling yet? It would have fit right in here. 3 hours long and a solid 7😂 a really enjoyable 7.

There are very few games I buy on release these days because I don’t have the time or the money. I usually wait until they’re around 50% off.

And still I’m a pretty tight 3 way race, and the only reason it’s not a 5 way race is because one player in my league picked up Mindseye and one counterpicked Mario Kart

I had the same experience with Hollow Knight but eventually pushed through and got to where I loved it. I agree, Silksong is much more welcoming at the start. But so far, it is wonderfully similar to Hollow Knight in all the right ways.

This is why Xbox should have had a major surge in console market share with the Series S, but they fell apart in other ways, and also people have been bitching about the Series S, which is an all around solid console, since it was announced.
