I recently shared my frustration about colourblind modes within games, so I've written about my experience and what can be done to help. I'm no writer, but perhaps someone can take heed?
RTs very much appreciated ๐
I've become increasingly frustrated by videogames recently and how badly they incorporate accessibility features for colourblind people. I think I'm going to write a little something later tonight about it. Maybe others can share their experiences too.
So-called leakers now get articles written about them for confirming no more characters after this next one, something we've already been told by Sakurai himself. Weird af.
We never *needed* motion controls but the Wii was an important console and left a lasting legacy of getting people involved in video games who never did before. So, by that token, I'd argue we did need a generation of motion controls.
Not thinking TLOU needed a remake and being OK with the potential of WW/TPHD isn't as hypocritical as some think. There's no way to play WW/TPHD on Switch, but you can play TLOU on PS5. It's about wanting those games on your current platform.
Press still do not have review copies of Cyberpunk 2077, a game that launches next week and touts itself as being 100+ hrs.
Perhaps do not expect reviews for launch lol.
Saw Frankie Boyle tonight. I always mistakenly put him in the Gervais-type comedy where it's just constant jokes about trans people or some shit, but not at all - always punching up at the people that deserve to be ridiculed. Government, religion, billionaires, JK. Great stuff
It gets easier and easier to recommend NSO.
Nintendo knows what it is, and they're starting to execute on that very well.
And to think, it could be even better than this if/when they move on to their next gen console ๐
We need to stop doing this kind of thing. All it serves to do is to give another little hype boost to marketing shows like TGAs and E3. If I were in charge, nobody would be announcing games unless they released within the next year or so.
Sony has officially announced new PlayStation Productions Series in Development
โข Horizon coming to Netflix

Sony continues to heavily expand their PlayStation IP into Series / Movies
If you start listening to the Celeste soundtrack by

at exactly 11:46pm this evening, then at midnight, you'll still be listening to one of the best gaming soundtracks ever made and your 2020 will start incredibly.
I swear this article wouldn't have existed had Pokรฉmon not released the way it had. The Switch has had a stellar year of great releases, many of which run really well. Yes, it's due an upgrade, but to call it a fail is a bit hyperbolic.
Report from Insider Gaming for Sony's next handheld, "Q Lite"
โข Remote Play with PS5 (not cloud streaming). PS5 required to use
โข 1080p, 60fps streaming
โข Prototype has 8 inch screen and adaptive triggers with haptic feedback
I feel it a common misunderstanding that people think Nintendo fans "don't care" about graphics. Of course we want our favourite games to look as pretty as they can. We just acknowledge that it's not *the* most important thing.

The punchline is the relationship between Trump, Kim and Putin. It's not making homosexuality the punchline; it's making THEM the punchline.
Do people just wake up actively seeking things to be offended by?
Climbing anywhere you want is one of the best parts of the game. The stamina bar makes sense, as it encourages you to upgrade to explore more areas and, even if you don't, you can cook meals to get higher.

Have literally screenshotted this tweet and sent it to the work pals I was doing this exact thing with during a meeting yesterday. It's an absolute new-found joy ๐

More Chinese food for sensible individuals! I'd honestly struggle to come up with a single thing that would ever keep me away from Chinese food.
It pains me that Mario 35 is gone and this now exists. Not that I think one replaced the other, or that I have anything against Pacman, but why can't we have this, Tetris *and* Mario?

Controversial opinion, but I think too many people consider 30fps borders on unplayable and it's just so baffling to me. Would it be nice to be 60? Sure. Does it matter to me when a game is 30? Not one tiny little bit. The toy-throwing over 30fps is a bit much.
Everyone going all "omg Switch pro" when really-
A - they've already said their English is bad. Mistranslation highly likely.
B - new Switch model could (and likely is) just a limited edition
Chill

Wait, so has he really started out by telling us he's removed all trace of someone's deadname, only to then blurt it out in the tweet afterwards? Am I following this right?
BREAKING NEWS: Larry, the Downing Street cat, has now handed in his resignation letter to PM Theresa May. A spokesman for Larry says: "fuck this fucking bullshit, I'm off".
@Charalanahzard
People will absolutely come for me, because they have done in the past, but I can barely notice the difference between 30 and 60fps so performance mode means bugger all to me.

Exactly! Did people even watch the show or did they just instantly go down the "she's annoying, she must be the villain" route?
