Hate being awake at 6am but really wanted to get up and get used to it if I want to work. You know, be like those cyclists you see in the adds.

"Hi I'm Henry and I'm a cyclist for such and such. I get up at 6am every morning to cycle 40 miles while being on a training food programme of bran flakes and keto. My wife also likes to put in relaxants to make up for my daily bull****."

Unlike Henry though all I need is some good music, a morning coffee and a protein bar.

I've got no sleep but it'll be fun.

Good night y'all

G'morning folks

Never have loud siblings my friends.


It is pain in human form.

I wish you had told me sooner. Then I would've told my parents to not have another kid when I was less than 2 years old.

You think that's a hastle, try loud nieces. Mine can screech to high heavens with their little playtime squeels.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Have you played the original before? I'd be concerned that it might be tough to follow what's going on if you haven't. (there's also the Rhombus of Ruin, a VR game that takes place between Psychonauts 1 and 2, but it's about an hour long, you can watch the whole thing on Youtube, and the whole thing could be summed up in a few sentences)

Sorry if I'm rambling, but I'm a big fan of Psychonauts and I'm excited to see people playing the sequel.

I haven’t played the original, but I’ve seen some streams of it. And plus, there is a short little recap cutscene at the beginning of the game, so luckily it’s pretty easy to follow. Currently, I’m fighting Lady Lucktopus. Gotta say, I love the visuals in this area, haha.

Crazy to think that, without the Crystal Flash, Reversed Boss Order Run would be impossible in Super Metroid.

I'd strongly recommend playing the original as well - it's usually on sale for $5 or less on Steam.

Though the visuals are definitely a big part of what makes the game so appealing. An upcoming level is a highlight, even if it can be tough to pick out figments because of how psychedelic everything is.

 

[Jondolio]

I really should get around to playing Psychonauts one day.

So, recently it occurred to me that this time because of NASB wasn’t the only instance I thought up ideas for a sequel to CN: Punch Time Explosion. I was really big into Steven Universe back in college and recreated the Crystal Gems in Illustrator, though I also decided to create alts for them as if they were in a sequel to PTE. I haven’t touched these since college so keep that in mind as they’re already pretty dated. Would anyone be interested if I shared them?

That sounds interesting. I'm always down for seeing more Steven Universe fan content.

Alrighty! So here’s the initial poses. You can see what point the show was at from Amethyst’s design

And here are the alts i made as well as some alternative ideas:

These are really amazing. I'd thought they were official if I didn't know better. Now I want a CN fighting game with these alts even more, haha.

Kudos.

Well I hope you start feeling better soon mate.

One thing I don't get is how the eidolon Twintania has three heads instead of two. Shouldn't it be "Triotania" then?

Hi thread.

Hello!

Europe is now declaring that any video game with simulated gambling will automatically get an 18+ age rating.

That's really going to make it hard to re-release older Pokémon games

Hope your day goes well. ~

First it was Porky Pig grabbing Daffy Duck

Then Scorpion grabbing Daffy Duck

Now Ultra Instinct Shaggy grabbing Scorpion


Crossing my fingers that the upcoming Scooby-Doo! Meets Courage the Cowardly Dog movie has something like this.

This is why the game corner is never coming back

 

[Dukefire]

It is only optional if you want the bigger prizes like Pokemon, Items, or TMs. Still, I do agree the older Pokemon titles will take a hit when trying to re-release back into the market.

Sebastian wont ask for a kid on my game, please

does this mean all Pokémon games will be rated 18+ once they realize you gamble your money in Pokémon battles?

also does this apply to lootbox/gacha games or did they turn a blind eye?

Hey, M MooMew64 Some new Sonic plushies from GE Animations have been revealed.

Disney+ casually revealed the final episode names for both the finales of Gravity Falls and Ducktales 2012

Spoiler: Gravity Falls and their Disco Girlin’ Ways

Spoiler: Ducktales…Woo-ooo

weird how it took this long to know the actual names of the finales

also for the real ones…they finally released the Disco Girl song

2nd or 3rd greatest song of 2021

Gatcha games have already had a hard time in some European countries for quite some time now.

 

[Wario Bros.]

The problem with the video game industry is that there are basically no regulations on in-game purchases or loot boxes, letting publishers get away with so many things.

We need more than just the age rating systems taking actions on this kind of stuff.
