my favorite of this month's issue

wanted to share this part specifically. a lot of the Backyard Sports revival has been driven by a desire to make better children's entertainment. a great example of how this can help development!

“I was really struck by, when my nephew was picking players, he picked players with positive self-talk, and looked like they were excited to play,” Barnett said. “And you start to realize how important these characters and what they say can be to the development of a child.”

Parker@parkj0hn· May 28

yea :)

People will describe these things as small pleasures.

Increasingly, I suspect they are the entire point.

Parker@parkj0hn· May 27

oh also it runs crazy good on the AYN Thor

Parker@parkj0hn· May 27

I've been playing Mina as well but haven't gotten deep enough to have many thoughts yet. here's my favorite bit from our review though

Parker@parkj0hn· May 21

one of the first lines I wrote

“You know Bubsy 3D released five years before I was born?” I asked.

“Well, what the fuck. Why would you tell me that?”

Parker@parkj0hn· May 19

how could you see this and not come to the conclusion the AYN Thor is the greatest piece of gaming hardware ever

A dual screen AYN Thor, showing Slay the Spire 2 on the top screen and the Palette Swap article "Updated Street Fighter Bonus Level Will Let You Fuck Up a Cybertruck" on the bottom screen.

we are reposting lots of good star wars stuff today but this quote might be my favorite star wars thing on the site. Yoda talking like a middle manager just really tickles me

“Return to the temple at once, you must,” said the 900-year-old Jedi Master via holocron. “Keep track of all of you on thousands of different planets, I cannot. Become a united family, we will. Easier to communicate with someone next to you, it is. Talk face-to-face, we must. Inefficient and unproductive are emails and holographic video chats. Looking forward to seeing you all in person, I am. Warm my heart, it will.”

Joe is selling himself a little short here: he's also a brilliant graphic designer. every Palette Swap image that made you go "holy shit that's funny" were made by him. he should be getting paid a lot of money to do it imo

Parker@parkj0hn· Apr 30

I played invincible vs. in lieu of a review, here's what I sent to the Palette Swap editors' Slack channel when I finished the story mode

"Rolled credits on invincible vs story mode. Unfortunately I will not be doing a writeup because my mom told me if you have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all."

Parker@parkj0hn· Apr 21

I will never not take an opportunity to remind people of this

Parker@parkj0hn· Apr 10

I haven't played yet but this really puts into perspective how they just do not seem to know the target audience. Great review!

Excerpt from the IGN Pokemon Champions Review: "In addition to missing plenty of fan favorites, the competitive community has taken a particularly hard critical hit due to a lack of both Pokémon and held item options. For example, out of the 22 monsters that made up the various teams at last year’s Pokémon World Championships Masters Division tournament, only three are currently usable in Champions."

you've seen people ask for a Mario football game but I promise you've never seen anyone do it like @markroebuck.bsky.social

4th & long. Game on the line. Mario approaches the center and surveys the line of scrimmage. Wide receiver Yoshi motions across the backfield, revealing that the Koopas in the secondary are playing zone defense. Chargin’ Chuck is showing blitz, but then again, he’s been showing blitz since Super Mario World.

Luigi is the lone offensive back. Hopefully he can pick up the extra pressure, but he’s just so, so frightened about that kind of thing. If he doesn’t get his clock cleaned, maybe he can leak out into the flat and be a checkdown option. Either way, it’s now or never.

Mario calls hike-a. Boo snaps the ball somehow. Chuck charges through the line, obliterates Luigi into dust, and is a split second away from the sack when Mario tosses up a prayer to Princess Peach, the team’s non-dinosaur wideout. She’s on a deep route, and the coverage is good, but her trademark leaping ability might give her the edge here. She jumps into the air and…
