While I agree with the sentiment, how is it a "random bush"? It's the only bush on the entire map that's clearly blocking a path. A very suspicious looking bush if you ask me. I think it's very good and very intentional level design, that's the opposite of random.
I can't wait for your take on Super Bomberman 5! It was my favorite of the SNES bomberman games. When I was a student, 20 years ago, I even made a PC clone of it with characters from other games, a la Super Smash Bros. The game is lost but the site seems up at superbomberman5.free.fr

The Buffy subreddit is fascinating. It's just like the series, an interesting blend of comedy, horror and drama.
Feel free to widely share this curated easy to understand #Satellaview knowledge that I just posted on my blog.
I didn't want to overscope it but I spent a lot of time explaining a curated list of games for those who have no idea what the Satellaview is.

Tbh, it's the same one you played. I just felt like it was time to spread the curse onto the land once more.
On the topic of DVD CC, there's a great video by the old tech guy. I imagine you've already seen it.

I'm pretty sure both channels are run by the same individuals, they generate very similar videos. They also clearly reuse the same prompts over and over again, it's almost comical.
And another one.

Looking up Mega Drive games, I just stumbled onto a content farm channel called Retro Pocket. The thumbnails, the scripts, the audio, the descriptions, all of it is AI generated. 1000 videos in exactly 2 years.
The few non-bot comments are eating this like it's their last meal. We're so cooked.
I had already flagged this channel (Brew) as trash when they basically plagiarized a 2016 story by Matt Wolfe for the New Republic for their video about Benjaman Kyle.
YouTube channel BrewSolves is still doing the James Somerton method of turning old books into videos. On top of barely paraphrasing the book and the FBI report, I noted 3 errors in 3 min. Also, on-screen quotes and b-roll footage add no value to the story. Just read Wikipedia or the fucking book.

"I was born in 1990 and I was sort of raised in America when it was a cult of self-expression, and I was just taught, you know: express myself and have things to say and everyone will care about them. And I think everyone was taught that, and most of us found out that no one gives a shit what we think...They say it’s the ‘me’ generation. It’s not. The arrogance is taught or it was cultivated. It’s self-conscious. That’s what it is, it’s conscious of self. Social media is just the market’s answer to a generation that demanded to perform, so the market said “Here, perform everything, to each other, all the time for no other reason.” It’s prison, it’s horrific. It’s performer and audience melded together. What do we want more than to lie in bed at the end of the day and just watch our lives as a satisfied audience member? I know very little about anything, but I do know this: that if you can live your life without an audience, you should do it." - Bo Burnham

2/ While that video (link below) was about language learning, all her arguments could be applied today to her own recent content regarding Japan. As if she gradually became what she despised. An unfortunate irony.

- clickbait - silencing people who call out your false claims - predatory tactics - making bank with marketing preying on people's insecurities - cult-like personality - censoring comments - "I like hearing the voices that disagree with me"
1/ Oriental Pearl made a video in 2022 calling out the "language gurus" of YouTube. She and her guest make good points I listed here. She also emphasizes multiple times the exploitative nature of making money from a "position of power" (being a big YouTuber) with false claims.
"This page may contain affiliate links" actually means "all the links are affiliate links and nobody in our staff has read the FTC regulations on affiliate marketing which is why this message is buried at the bottom of the page in a tiny font and a color that only bees can see."
In 2005, I wrote an article called "Inventing Akromiya" about how the government of Uzbekistan made up a group called Akromiya to justify a massacre of civilian protesters.
Twenty years later, the US is more like Uzbekistan, and I wrote "Inventing Antifa": sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/inventing-...

The credit is wrong. That photo of Gary Gygax was added on findagrave by a user. It's not the original. The original is from GenCon 2007 by professional photographer Rainer Hosch for a 2008 WIRED article. smh
Thank you for the thread. Very informative.
Many of the traditional Final Fantasy principles are here, including the most central theme of them all: the crystals. As with many other Final Fantasy games, in case there was ever any doubt about the integrity of Mystic Quest as a Final Fantasy game, the magic crystals represent the elemental powers of nature. Restoring the power and freedom of these crystals carries Benjamin through the story, as he fights to prevent a forest from dying, lift a drought, calm a raging volcano and bring the wind back. The eco-centric nature of Final Fantasy is paramount to understanding the series. Environmentalism is key for FF, expressed in terms of living in harmony with the forces of nature, not taking advantage of it for personal gain and wealth. That means you, Shinra! The crystals of FFMQ must be left to exist in peace, in perpetuity, free from the meddling and captivity of those who would use the elemental powers for selfish puposes.
That sets the stage for Chrono Trigger. How? By dismissing the argument that Chrono Trigger is not Final Fantasy-ish enough. If we cannot define what Final Fantasy is, beyond tradition and change, then Chrono Trigger fits rather nicely: Consider that its rampant similarities place it alongside its Final Fantasy peers, as do its differences. It is not unlike Final Fantasy for not having summons, let's say. It is more like it for trying something different: techs, dual and triple. There's plenty of room in Final Fantasy for being different as well as being similar. Secondly, there's the Active Time Battle (ATB) system mentioned earlier. Nowhere is the mechanical resemblance to Final Fantasy clearer in Chrono Trigger than with ATB. Though it's called "ATB 2.0", it appears with little modification. A battle system that emphasises timing fits in a game about time. Trigger simply adds a peripherical or proximity-based element in the system, affecting how much damage characters deal or take depending on their locations on the battlefield. Am I suggesting that a game's mere possession of the ATB system makes it a Final Fantasy? Of course not. It's more cumulative than that. I am saying that there's a line of tradition present in Chrono Trigger, but this is just one of several reasons I've got to list. Thirdly, we can't forget about Daddy Final Fantasy himself, a core member of the Dream Team. Beginning with something as coincidental as travelling together, Sakaguchi, Horii and Toriyama decided to create "something that no one had done before", kicking off what would become the kind of passion project you typically see in the indie sphere these days. Not every Final Fantasy spinoff, pretender, clone or knock-off can boast this kind of pedigree. Heck, not even every numerical FF can! Fourthly, I have heard it said that Chrono Trigger can't be a Final Fantasy because they share no thematic, conceptual or ideological motifs.
I often joke that most video essays should have been blog posts, but this book really reads like a glorified blog post, both in style and tone. I find the phrasing verbose and vapid at the same time. That 1st paragraph abt Chrono Trigger hurts my brain, it's almost unparsable. 550 pages of that...
