there is a high schooler in my webring

i thought it was just a few…

wait 18 states have banned trans women from competing as women?? that many?????? the fuck????

i do not share that optimism but at least the design goal is apparently 3D action game first, open world second, which at least somewhat justifies using the unleashed-like mechanics (which were never designed with open world exploration in mind) again

very funny that ign released two very unimpressive gameplay “trailers” for sonic frontiers and riled up personalities on the internet over how blatantly unpolished it was, and then ign releases their first impressions video and the staff member is just all “idk... it honestly could really amount to something here, i think the core idea is actually really working”

anyway if that’s the promotional sneak peak then i am not terribly excited about the production quality of the actual short

it’s like that one cool artwork from the sonic 2 movie but it looks worse

oh no the promotional sneak peak of the animated prequel short for sonic frontiers has a fairly amateurish look to it. you really hate to see it

i wanna be a cat and snuggle on my spouses’ lap while fæ pet me

nintendo wants control over how tournaments are run and they want to provide as little of their own capital as possible and they are actually doing a pretty good job of getting both outcomes. meanwhile they have been getting free labour (as marketing) out of players and especially tournament organizers for years.

idk seeing hungrybox get moved to tears over the panda global/nintendo tournament series was wild. why would you WANT nintendo’s involvement. did you just completely forget what their relationship with competitive smash has been this whole time

idk if hegemony is really the right way to describe it but the way much of the community (up to and including (former) top players) is happy to be officially recognized and (basically not even) supported is something else

nintendo’s blatant exploitation of the smash community is really something

minor official GlitchCat policy update

youtube FINALLY added a play queue on the webapp????

it is wild that Sega would push out demo gameplay footage for Sonic Frontiers after five years of silence about the next mainline game and just… include blatantly unfinished character animation

i guess i actually am interested in buying the game now though; i was worried they were gonna shave off all the interesting bits of the game to be inoffensive

i mean i guess the ART DESIGN is like that but the game itself, not so much
