'Through the Darkest of Times' review: A warning from the past "You are not responsible for what happened. But you certainly are responsible for preventing it from happening again."

in 2020 we released our game about civilian resistance during the Nazi era and an American reviewer wrote it “sends a warning from the past about Trump's America” - which I found a massive exaggeration at the time.

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.

After being forcibly quarantined inside NERV HQ for who knows what reason, I achieved an actual ending to the game when the option to have a psychological epiphany seems to have randomly appeared in the middle of a relatively banal conversation.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

shigesato itoi and shigeru miyamoto interview https://shmuplations.com/itoimiyamoto/
Itoi: Speaking of that mindset… this is a slightly different topic, but take game mechanics, for example. Let's say you have an item in the game that makes you so strong it practically breaks the game. When you look at game magazines, they talk about those items as if it's some bargain for the player. They think it's a good thing, in other words. They don't stop to think, "If you put something like this in, it's not even a game anymore." The idea that anything that gives you an advantage must be "good"—it's starting to feel a bit warped to me.

Miyamoto: That's because their goal isn't to inhabit the character and enjoy the experience, it's just to beat the game.

Itoi: I guess they just want to be able to say, "I won!"

Miyamoto: "I finished it in three days," and all that.

Itoi: Boasting about speed in games is a sickness, really.

A section of the Japanese box art for Sonic the Hedgehog 2. It reads, "Don't just sit there and waste your precious time. When you want to do something, do it right away. Do it when you can. It's the only way to live a life without regrets."

To understand what's happening in Iran today, you have to know about the history of Western intervention in the country.

In the early 1900s, the British secured oil rights in the country until 1993, where they only agreed to pay Iran 16% of the total profits.

This was seen as an unfair deal. 🧵
