mostly caught up on Watchmen media now. the show/Rorschach comic were WAY better than expected. Before Watchmen probably shouldn't exist tho. Loved Doomsday Clock, but the stuff surrounding it w/Zoom & Thomas Wayne has me waffling. I wanna see where it goes, but tying it all to Flashpoint... ehhh
It's not in my screenshots, but I believe Kinger's riding one of the shrimps in that shot as well lol
it's in the background of one of the ribbit & kaufmo flashbacks in Episode 9!
you fucking muppet of an owl, listen. I have a six year streak. shut the fuck up.
Question for @fabraz.bsky.social/ @atari.com! Nearly every prior Bubsy has a subtitle. Bubsy in Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind. Bubsy Is 3D in Furbitten Planet. The Woolies Stike Back. Etc, etc. Even B2 was "Bubsy 2: Still No Pants!" at one point lol. Anyway, did you consider a subtitle for 4D?
remember the 90s, when they were introducing cool new alternative suits and powersets for established comic book heroes?
Not to be TOO cliche, but the obtuseness & depth of the mechanics combined with the mercenary presentation of plot and dialogue (and the occasional eldritch horror) almost puts one in mind of modern FromSoft titles. Just, you know, from 1989. And on the Game Boy.
So I finally sat down and started playing The Final Fantasy Legend, aka SaGa 1. I've had to go find a pdf of the manual & look up a few things, but I'm otherwise going in blind & just experiencing the world as it presents itself to me. And I'm really enjoying myself so far!
I am of the firm opinion that this guy in Rogue One is Dash and nothing has yet disproven this. He's not named anywhere in the credits or expanded media, and he's got the shoulder pads...
so what are the odds we get another Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog on Wednesday
hey @glitchprod.com I just spent a half hour trying to buy this on Hot Topic's site, but due to a known issue it won't accept my name, address, or any form of payment. This has been a thing on their site for literal years, and they haven't fixed it. Maybe consider selling merch through someone else?
all this Stop n Swop discussion and nobody's brought up the Ice Key in The Unlikely Legend of Rusty Pup
nearly 25 years later and I'm still waiting for someone to follow up @jmdematteis.bsky.social's genderqueer Hal Jordan stuff...
Genuinely loved Sonic 4 Ep 1 on mobile back in the day. The unique gyro controls made it interesting to play (and actually worked with the game's "unique" physics lol), and it got me through many hours of monitoring computers running automated tests in a freezing lab at the time.
still thinking about this game dev position rejection email I got last October. 18 months...
reading some Kull, by Robert E Howard. Nobody told me about how witty some of this was heh
I love that wave of old atari ports from that era. I've coincidentally got Yar's Revenge GBC sitting here on my desk rn
I maintain that Immortals Fenyx Rising should have been a Kid Icarus game
let's say for a minute that one specific set of info that was created for the Sonic films is canon to the games, I wonder if Sonic and Samus have ever had any convos in Smash land about being taken in and raised by an ancient mystical race of birds.
looking at the map provided in the Ozanari Dungeon Complete Guide booklet that was published between volumes 16 & 17, I almost want to say that Naozari has to be a new past made possible by Laurasia being retroactively brought back at the end of Ozanari
They get around having the barbarian stuff be well known or the trio running into the guild higher-ups in this by having it set in THIS portion of Gondwana, which is a real part of irl ancient Gondwana... but I don't exactly know where it corresponds to on the continent map we saw in Ozanari 😅
