A photo from the manual mentioned in the post. A very young Arle has her tiny fists clenched in determination as she approaches a magic tower. The only word in the piece is “guts”, written in English.

This is on the Mount Rushmore of fighting game posters that go hard. Like what were they thinking? It doesn’t even speak to being a fighting game. Cool.
OK, so, I won this stupid auction and in case people find this skeet, 1. It wasn't $5,000 ultimately, it was $3520. I had intended to spend $500 at most. But this turned out to be too good to pass up. Now I'm on the hook. I can cover it but it's going to be a bit intense.
Hieroglyphics with translation texts below them that reads I made my body evolve through my own effectiveness. I am the one who made me. I built myself as I wished, according to my heart.
Just reminded myself how hard the ending of Coffin Text Spell 714 goes
action/platformer speedruns: yea we have to do 100 frame perfect tricks to clip through all these sections and it's all skill based and precise practice and speed
old jrpg speedruns: WE HAVE TO TORTURE THE GAME BY RIPPING ITS SOUL OUT AND REPLACING IT WITH DR MARIO TO FORCE IT TO DO OUR BIDDING
Yesterday, Yuvi preserved a Klonoa chara-den! This is an avatar you could use for videophone calls on i-mode keitai. Each number on the keypad corresponds to a different emotion!
New from 404 Media: Proton Mail, the privacy-focused email service, gave authorities data that let the FBI unmask an anonymous 'Stop Cop City' protester. It was payment data linked to the anonymous email account. From that, FBI ID'd them, then tracked their movements www.404media.co/proton-mail-...

Love Live! School idol festival 2, the game that quite infamously announced both its release AND ending date at the same time, outlived Highguard and Concord at four months

A US court ruled against Google in the case back in 2023, and the remedies announced in 2024 threatened to upend Google’s Play Store model. It tried unsuccessfully to have the verdict reversed, but then Epic came to the rescue. In late 2025, the companies announced a settlement that skipped many of the court’s orders. Epic leadership professed interest in leveling the playing field for all developers on Android’s platform. But US District Judge James Donato expressed skepticism of the settlement in January, noting that it may be a “sweetheart deal” that benefitted Epic more than other developers. The specifics of the arrangement were not fully disclosed, but it included lower Play Store fees, cross-licensing, attorneys fees, and other partnership offers.
one of those classic reminders that when a big company says their lawsuit is for the people: it isn't

Which btw I think leads into the other bit of advice: if you see a post on "Tech4gamers" or whatever, some site with a nothing name you've never heard of, maybe you shouldn't share that as evidence that something's really happening.
there's a specific garbage-in garbage-out irony in someone having AI write a slop article about "windows 12" which then people on various websites panic-share and don't read

An image with several smaller illustrations of my gray and black sea cow character, Umiko, against a soft blue background. She is a manatee with a face and tummy like a cow’s, and horns on her head. The various illustrations show her swimming around and enjoying sea grass, as well as her loving her tiny manatee child, who is just as round as she is. She is so rotund…

I do wonder if the 'we haven't made a game in forever so now there's an entire generation that doesn't know who we are' thing is gonna happen to GTA6. It's so hard to tell what the actual player base of GTA5 was since it was given away free so many times and also 90% of its' sales are just fake
people keep having weird ideas about this, but if they had shadow dropped it like intended it would have had basically 0 players and died even faster. The idea that the VGA thing somehow hurt it is crazy. It gave it the best shot it could ever have.
Do you think anybody with money understands that everytime someone does this it makes all future service games less likely to take off
IT'S REAL?!

Happy 37th Birthday to Fujitsu's FM Towns, a computer that pushed the limits of what was possible in 1989. These are the two that I've restored - the UX Towns II in 2020, and the HG Tower in 2023, both for NEON Retrofest. 💿 #retrogaming
