videogame things you think about a lot

Half remembered that a nintendo gamecube magazine in the UK had an anthropomorphic gamecube as their mascot but none of my friends believed me.

Anyway, this is enjiki



I looked up the guy who drew him and he has since gone on to work on yooka laylee

from the first fist of the north star musou game, the notification that pops up at the end of one of the later stages after a big cutscene ā€œnew technique unlocked: unconscious spiritual transmigrationā€ is something thatā€™s stuck with me for years.

the modern successor to peoples soup is a fork of it creatively called CUMULATIVE PACK 2.2 which i think about a lot because russian kitchen sink stalker mods take up 12-15% of my brain but specifically the soundscape of this video

I play games with my European friends very often, and so play on European servers a lot. It doesnā€™t happen terribly frequently, but often enough, where Iā€™m definitely mistreated for being American. So I got into this habit of just talking in some shitty, vaguely Eastern European accent whenever Iā€™m in a situation that calls for voice comms with randos.

The way everybody suddenly has encyclopedic knowledge / passion about j-pc games is definitely a psyop that is somehow linked to cookieā€™s bustle

part of me suspects that thereā€™s now half a dozen invite-only discord servers with the best per-platform tutorials on the subject ever written kept as pinned comments in some channel otherwise full of meme spam and you have to play russian roulette to avoid the server run by a pedophile and/or nazi

Iā€™m grateful for all the SButts and tumblr folks who went and took screenshots of all those J-PC games ages ago, thanks for saving me a lotta grief, I definitely got all I needed without having to suffer through all that shitty scrolling and pornos

Much prefer the j-PC focused game scene curated in general rather than having to imagine a multiverse where fantasy world dizzy / jet set wily doujins outsell harry potter

the big meaty THWACK sfx when you punch a demon in shin megami tensei nocturne

big meaty THWACK sfx in general, theyre very funny

in Super Mario 64 you can mareo jump on goombas or you can just sock them in the FUCKING face and send them flying off a cliff

for just this one game [and the smash bros fighting game series i guess] nintendo gave up and decided ā€œwhat if mario just punches and kicks the monsters to deathā€

Tonight Iā€™m thinking about the guy who claimed the world record for Dragster on the Atari for 35 years until someone came along with an emulator and proved it was impossible even with frame perfect inputs. Then he claimed the world record for the longest held video record, then it all came crashing down.

Of all the gamesā€¦dragster for the atari!

One thing I love about this is that his defense is the same one that historical-proof-minded Christians use. ā€œLots of independent witnesses reported in multiple different texts that they saw Jesus come back to lifeā€
