A screenshot of a bsky post from @griph, which reads: "my coworker carries a taser that she says she doesn't let men hold anymore because they immediately attempt to shock themselves to see if they can take it. i found this out when i asked her to see it fully intending to shock myself." There is a PNG of Keiichi Maebara (from Higurashi: When They Cry) looking a bit chastened, while behind him is a partially transparent PNG of Shion Sonozaki looking perturbed. Keiichi represents the OP and Shion represents the coworker.

it's fucked up that the youth of today have to discover their music taste however it is you do that in 2026 instead of getting it all through quake 3 frag and defrag movies

I just recently learned that episode 54 of the anime Kochikame focuses on a character becoming obsessed with playing "Dokidoki Memorial", a parody of Tokimeki Memorial. This episode aired in 1997, two years after Tokimeki blew up in the mainstream after the release of the PlayStation port in 95.

[taking notes] playing quake rocket arena is praxis, got it

no punishment too harsh for the corporate lawyers of video game companies that are petty enough to issue takedown requests to archive.org uploads of scans of video game manuals

love to click on a post to see what it's replying to, scroll 1 pixel too far up, and have bsky completely destroy itself loading a thread of 500 image posts simultaneously

it's been a real depressing reason to have the decision to do that be made to seem better on such a frequently recurring basis

yeah, real weird to see people pointing at this to be like "look it's not what everyone thought", even though the thread is describing them doing an mtpe pass, which is exactly what the readme made it sound like was done

screenshot of powerslave exhumed showing the artifact "sandals of ikumptet", with the description "increases jumping ability"

i don't care how much magic they've been imbued with, there's no way wearing a pair of flip flops is going to increase anybody's jumping ability

If you feel that use of AI art assets at any stage of the process is an automatic out, but ChatGPT translations are fine if they're "checked" by people, it might be worth asking yourself why that is. Because it sounds a whole lot like valuing the work of translators less than other creatives to me.

the higurashi no naku koro ni kai title treatment as shown at the end of matsuribayashi-hen

i have finally finished higurashi! it was fantastic! i never want to play anything this long again! (<- is expecting a copy of umineko for the switch to arrive in the mail in the next few weeks)

the big saving grace of ddg for me is that like 95% of my searches are me wanting to go to a specific website and the !bangs on ddg are extremely good for that without me having to set up 3000 search engines in firefox

my big problem with webp isn't actually it's fault: it made the internet look way worse when a bunch of adopters opted to use extremely aggressive, terrible looking compression settings. you should not be able to replace webp with jpg in a url and get a way better looking image as often as you can

We need less remakes, rereleases, relaunches, and reinvisionings and more art that directly takes inspiration from other art. I don't care if your game is a blatant Super Mario 64 ripoff, it's likely gonna be better than any new revision of a game three hundred million people already played before

i feel like it has something to do with the rhythm it plays at or something, it's like i'm expecting the notes to hit at a different time and it not matching my expectation makes my brain hurt

find the sound effect that plays every time they move the clock hands around in meitantei precure extremely unpleasant for reasons i do not at all understand

the late title card drop for higurashi matsuribayashi-hen and the scene leading into it

it depends on what exactly you count, but yes, unless you count bfg edition as a separate game (it does has some engine updates that i think were pulled in from rage). additionally the nightdive quake 1 and 2 releases had their game modules code released but not the updated engine code

pc game that monitors your frame rate the first time you launch it and then charges you $10 to unlock a higher frame rate than that if you play it on a more powerful machine later

Hello. My name is John Titor. Don't ask me about the future. I only need to source a computer system with a working graphics processor that isn't dependent on any LLM systems to function.

has anyone considered that maybe what square enix meant by this is that it's for fans of final fantasy excited to play their first final fantasy? "for fans and first timers", not, "for fans and for first timers"
