Oof, anyone following the Adam Sessler shitshow on twitter?

Nope! One of the benefits of eliminating a certain purple website from my daily browsing is I don't have to hear what garbage Joe Smith #128 has to say on Twitter.

I just checked and... *sigh* goddammit.

Weird how this times well with the "JRPG as an insult" conversation that was going on in another thread this week. I used to think he was cool when I was a kid but damn, fuck that dude.

poop

@bellydrum changed his name back

Oof, anyone following the Adam Sessler shitshow on twitter?

I could've sworn I remembered him getting dragged for a lot of old shady shit that he refused to apologize for and was kind of a dick when confronted about a few years ago, too, so this isn't at all surprising.

Like every administrator in the US, they can never fully let go when they retire

I have been taking my switch when I take my kids to this indoor play area. It’s always too loud to really hear anything even with AirPods, so I’ve been playing puzzle games/NSO games that I know sound isn’t a super big component of the game. Anyhow, I started up Gorogoa (music and sound is important I’ve come to find out but can hear it well enough) and I have to say this game makes you feel like the most unintelligent person and then the most intelligent person once you figure out the idea. Really cool concept. Only issue is it can be a little guess and check style gameplay, but that does help give you an epiphany for how to do the rest of the puzzles.

Oof, anyone following the Adam Sessler shitshow on twitter?

Crazy how some people are still jokes 10+ years later, no self-awareness at all

That being said I sure hope this somehow translates to Baten Kaitos blowing up in sales, easily the best Monolith game

Fuck

You'll know when I no longer have any powers on this site when the Administrator badge is gone

Basically all I have to do is finish moving some code over on the server and I'm hangin up the keys, so to speak. Just procrastinating.

I move for "Website Dad" to be an official badge to replace your Admin one. It can be yellow to match your whole thang

Me after staying up until midnight so I could spend $530 on a Lego set.

One day I'll learn to spend money responsibly.

Kept scrolling to see what the Sessler drama was about. Didn't get any answers. You all disappoint me.

 

[Thorakai]

Holy shit 4K Hamtaro

 

[Soul Skater]

Alley Cats Strike has the greatest climax a bowling movie can have

Been trying to get back into piano after a long while away, so I’ve been fiddling with some game music along with classical. What are everyone’s favorite piano game music tracks?

Zanarkand from Final Fantasy X. Would love to learn how to play it on piano.

Spoiler: irritating bullshit

• Someone posted the X-Play Baten Kaitos review from years ago, which basically did the whole "let's shit out asian stereotypes to dunk on both this game and the JRPG genre in general" approach, and said something about how bad it was that a review like that ever made it to air.
• Sessler responded basically handwaving the criticism in a way that labeled the game as nothing but horny bait.
• People pointed out that Sessler was defending a racist review by doubling down with another racist stereotype (this time ye olde "japanese media is horny" angle)
• Sessler exploded in a multi-tweet thread, accusing those criticizing him as being everything from MAGA people with anime porn profile pictures to progressives just looking for someone they can call racist.
• He went on to say that the decades he spent in gaming media was a complete waste of his life, as the whole of gaming culture was "insipid" and "an orgy of desperation."

Do you feel un-disappointed now?

Amazon confirms the truth : Donkey Kong is just a Mario spin-off

Ever since they tried restarting G4 Sessler has struck me as being a cranky old man that’s still seething about the existence of Twitch and YouTube.

 

[Sadist]

Oof, anyone following the Adam Sessler shitshow on twitter?

That guy is still around?

Never liked him, let me guess, he’s having a meltdown?

Edit: Oh I see Chocolate_Supra’s post; what a sad, sad comment. While there are questionable people on the internet, going in hard doesn’t help your case much

It looked like TF is sold out. People just really don't want to pay $60 for that game, I guess!

He did cocaine, didn't he?

 

[MisterSpo]

Pro controller battery depleted while trying Big Run, now it won't charge at all. Huzzah for modern gaming!

 

[Mer.Saloon]

This is so awesome. I haven't seen this commercial in years. But the original creator just had the old footage and decided to upload it in an uncut form.

China is beating the US in most strategic technologies research across the defense, space, energy, and biotechnology sectors.

Damn, this is pretty cool.

If Nintendo goes an entire generation, including this slow wind down period, without a new Rhythm Heaven or Wario Land I will riot !!

My bad.

I do it from time to time with labor news in particular.

Not on Spotify.

As usual.

 

[merp]

lol nvm I assumed that it wasn't but it is!



Edit: Unless these are just different renditions of the same music and songs by different people, then this should be it.

I mean, I'm also a cranky old man who seethes about twitch and youtube (and tiktok) but I at least try not to be a combative racist about it

Do you feel un-disappointed now?

Yes. I am no longer disappointed. It is the job of members like yourself to dive into the depths of Twitter and report their findings so important people like myself don't have to risk brain rot down there. If you start to feel ill, just pull on the chain and I'll pull you back up. Unless I'm eating or sleeping or watching TV or something else.
