I remember back when people first started saying things about video games on youtube and the number of people saying Super Aleste wasn't very good inoculated me to bad internet opinions

If you tried to explain to a retro game influencer type that the Neo Geo AES was an expensive home console but the Neo Geo MVS was an inexpensive arcade platform and also they're basically the same except for the cartridge pinouts and the BIOS they're going to shit themselves from overthinking this.

Hell yeah!! Congratulations!!

Reminder that Microsoft is one of the biggest forces behind GenAI "adoption" on top of funding and wildly profiting from the continued genocide in Gaza, it seems like games media has forgotten this

Cancel your Game Pass, don't play MW or Minecraft, cancel your WoW sub.

Awesome coverage. So many amazing options I wish we had for BN but it's just nice to see how much care was put into this package.

Same! We went for our first time right after playing in 2023 and it's what made me look for places to stay around the neighbourhood. Whatever deal they made with the Sumida tourism board sure worked on me.

Web page for "そこに君がいた" (There You Were).

Way before Takanari Ishiyama created Paranormasight, he wrote and composed a few installments of the "Movie Adventure" series. These were small novel games released by Genki for feature phones around 2001-2003. One of the most intriguing entries Ishiyama wrote was "そこに君がいた" (There You Were). (1/3)

This is a Japanese adventure game (Paranormasight).

This is a visual novel (Steins;Gate).

Visual novels and Japanese adventure games. The two genres often look very similar, how are you supposed to tell them apart? Simple: if you can use a cursor to examine stuff, it's an ADV. If not, it's a VN.

I'm half joking but it's honestly a pretty reliable way to identify which genre is which.

In a just world, Cosmo wouldn't have to pay for a drink until the end of time.

Real whiplash to be so excited for a premise only to see a bunch of soulless AI assets. I won’t be going anywhere near this unless that changes

- Third clan for each race
- BLU Battle Royale PvP
- Job specialization/sub-class/stat allocation
- Custom walk/run/etc. animations like PSO2NGS
- More sprawling maps w/ secret spots
- Fewer waymarkers
- More mystery mechanics
- Rare events to schedule my week around
- Sightseeing log EX
- much more

'If ABC agrees': Urgent motion proposes to save Vancouver Car Free Days | Urbanized In the wake of the revelation that Car Free Days would be cancelled in Vancouver this year, two councillors are hoping to save it.

“COPE warned that Ken Sim’s jacked-up permit fees are going to make community events more expensive - or stop them from happening at all. This is the impact of austerity."

Save Car Free Days!

I'm also opening myself up for freelancing contracts again on a VERY SHORT TERM BASIS.

If you have need of English Dub script adaptation, narrative design, voice direction, text editing.... Let's talk.

Companies like clickup buy venerable game sites and fill them with garbage to steal their SEO juice while it lasts. They're not just killing game journalism, they're filling the corpse with parasites.

I really, truly do understand how stupid I sound right now but like, man, I just don’t know what’s happening in a Mario game. Sonic games are often quite bad but at least I usually know why he’s doing a thing and who he’s doing it against.

“The forces we are up against have made peace with mass death. They are treasonous to this world and its human and non-human inhabitants.”

I will not mince words: Segagaga is a deeply personal, human game about passionate developers making the best of a bad situation. This is not the first patch to employ MTPE as a shortcut, but it is particularly tone deaf to deploy in this climate for a game about the people who made Sega what it is.

I say this as a professional who came up from fan translation and has friends at Sega who will likely never get to work on this officially: when you fan translate ANYTHING that was previously untranslated, you have a deep, heavy responsibility in setting people's first and typically only impression.
