Cameron and I will discuss all four screens, all three enemies, the dinosaur, Dinger the dog, and Edson. Look, this is mostly an excuse to geek out over mid-1990s rendered graphics, okay?

He later helped me overthrow a magic pig man from space, and he later became king when a Nazi weasel’s coup attempt went awry. You ever watch the ‘Alien’ films? It was exactly like that. Once again, I’m Diddy Kong.”17 Sep 2026 03:24 +0000at://did:plc:xfv7ky4dvim3cjifokx6qlop/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvopdpsxp22xhttps://bsky.app/profile/dkvine.com/post/3mvnxnppfv22iI can probably stack a few more on here before DK's back completely gives out.

No, not Donkey Kong Country. Not even the arcade Donkey Kong. They'll be playing Mario Party 6, the first game they streamed for us five years and eight months ago, at 8 PM EDT/5 PM PDT! www.twitch.tv/dkvine15 Sep 2026 20:15 +0000at://did:plc:xfv7ky4dvim3cjifokx6qlop/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvlguqsdrk2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/dkvine.com/post/3mvku4ghxpc2wThe #Kongversation will be pigging out on (or cocking up) some kraken-good Sea of Thieves: Season 20 chat in a bonus Talk Like a Pirate Day episode! Jeff and I will discuss Custom Seas, as well as the other changes made this summer to Rare's long-running pirate adventure.15 Sep 2026 14:39 +0000at://did:plc:xfv7ky4dvim3cjifokx6qlop/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvku4ghxpc2whttps://bsky.app/profile/dkvine.com/post/3mvkqlb2fss2gRare is big into cheeky branding! It was likely viewed as cute to give Diddy and Dixie matching Nintendo and Rare logos to celebrate that partnership. (Diddy's clothing went unadorned in 1994.) Nintendo stuck with it for lack of better options until finding a new way for their hats to match!

You either dismiss it, or you accept that there is much more to the world than you think. But not Donkey Kong Racing and Kameo. Those won't be released on this thing. C'est la vie! You'll have many bitter disappointments."

Decided to take today off to recharge. That also meant no Sunday Sea of Thieves stream. "Hey, it'll be nice not constantly sailing into storms," I muttered to myself. Began playing Star Fox Adventures on the Switch 2. Immediately sailed into a storm.

His Gollum-like hoarding tendencies are fulfilled by bananas. Golden Bananas scratch the same itch as Dragon Sickness, while Banandium gives him the power that Sean Bean and his tomato-slurping father sought. With his greed satiated, he’s as true as Samwise.12 Sep 2026 06:06 +0000at://did:plc:xfv7ky4dvim3cjifokx6qlop/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvcg35tspc2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/dkvine.com/post/3mvbygg7xkc2gRare’s SGI Workstations weren’t feasible to use for 3D games on the N64, but I really did love that ACM art style. It felt like they were only really getting started with the tech! Look at the leaps that Donkey Kong Country 2 and 3, Killer Instinct 2, and Dream made over the original DKC and KI.
