Might have had one of the best nights of my life yesterday? Endless love going out to the family, friends, cast, crew and creative team that have been beyond supportive as I found the strength to return to live theatre after far too long away; I owe you all so much ❤️💚

We opened Elf: The Musical last night, and oh my godddddd I missed doing live theatre so much.

Classic Design Link + BOTW Design Zelda = Very Optimistic Jish

You’re excited about a 60 minute Direct because you think that means Sakurai’s going to reveal an ambitious story mode. I’m excited for a 60 minute Direct because that means Sakurai is gonna spend 5 minutes explaining how much he loves his wife’s UI design for the Options menu.

I’m more positive on some of the non-art uses for AI than a lot of my peers, but forcing LLM’s into every website and search engine has already been beyond obnoxious, and now they’re adding it to the program whose sole purpose is being as simple and low-tech as possible 🙃

“Mario Galaxy 2 in 4K” is the most romantic sentence in the English language.

Don’t have anything against “easy mode” mods in general, but I genuinely can’t fathom being hyped over Silksong for years and not even giving yourself even a full weekend before deciding to remove entire combat mechanics.

You know a Metroidvania is good when you start cackling maniacally within 5 seconds of getting a new movement upgrade. #Silksong

Gotta be such a weird feeling to make a game so popular it pulls a Diablo 3 (no one can play it at launch) but also you don't own any of the storefronts that are crashing so the problem is entirely out of your hands.

Getting a big delay less than two months before launch? This is the most accurate videogame adaptation yet!

Time-travelling with this JPEG back to 2019 just to fuck with Smash leakers.

I missed Sakurai led Nintendo Directs so much.

Love that they had to add a "in the leading role" qualifier because of a 3 second long cameo in Deadpool 2.

Bananza treating DKC3 and DK64 with just as much nostalgic reverence as the other two Rare games was my favorite surprise in the whole game.

If I had a nickel for every time someone in charge of assembling an army of anime girls turned out to be kind of awful...

Rolled credits on Donkey Kong Bananza, definitely gonna be singing its praises for a long time. (Also shoutout to Backloggd for somehow managing to make a gamer Letterboxd that's less toxic than Letterboxd.)

This is the best 3D platformer featuring a blue rolling mammal I’ve ever played.

Trying not to be biased because they cast a kid from a pretty great Canadian sitcom, but I’m amazed at how quickly I went from “Link is gonna be impossible to cast” to “oh damn, that might work”.
