Itoi: But so-called arcade games have a vibe similar to gay magazines. It's a closed world, a world outsiders don't understand, where like-minded people gather as their circle shrinks. Like narrowing concentric circles. So I think it's really important that what I did this time with MOTHER went in a different direction. --- Quote from this interview https://shmuplations.com/itoimiyamoto/
Shigesato Itoi back in 1989 casually calling arcade game fans homosexuals. If only he knew how right he was....
BREAKING: We've freed Cookie.
Following an investigation by VGHF, Ukie and Web Capio have suspended DMCA takedowns for Cookie's Bustle on behalf of Graceware, SL.

The Retroachievement sets (both the main set and "Book of 1000" subset) for .hack//Infection, mastered. What I don't mention out loud is this is the fourth time I've beaten Part 1 in particular.
I may have been led to make decisions based on the .hack//Z.E.R.O. announcement.
I'll be honest, I think even if the segagaga team hadn't admitted to using machine translation people would have figured it out pretty fast based on what I saw in the first 15 mins of play
Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
Ah. Hmm.
If they don't put all those words on the title screen, I don't want it
what the fuck
absolutely killer next fest so far for the idea that games can look like whatever the hell you want

Went down a rabbit hole on the Internet Archive to see if I could find any coverage of the Sukeban Deka III game ๐งถ

Hey, so, survivor of CSAM (child sexual abuse material) hereโand a global survivor advocate, including policy work!
Fictional material is not illegal. Thatโs actually why deepfakes are such a big issue for survivors too.
That said, actual art should *not* be made illegal. Why? (Conโt)
Happy birthday! I wasn't expecting to see Okita on Bluesky today. ๐

Choco sarcastically giving a smile. Taken from chapter 6 of Ame Choco Gamila.
Last year Daisuke Amaya (the creator of Cave Story) began drawing a really cute web comic series about a cat girl artist trying to find love. It's called Ame Choco Gamila and can be read on Daisukeโs website in JP and English. Highly recommend giving it a read!

The arcade lightgun shooter is a largely lost art.
This game gets it. And goes UNSPEAKABLY HARD, thematically. Goddamn, that demo opening is clever.
I realy need to know if those new Sinden-style lightguns can work on it...

IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN A WEEK!
This is my dream game Danchi Days โจ
It's based on my life living in a Japanese housing complex called, "danchi." Maybe you've never heard of the word before, but I want you to experience it too!
Play the free demo now on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3107530?...
The game is coming out in 2026!!

Man, I have GOT to play Fuga.

The irish from the credits screen, google translated: "Play Brave Wonderful Beginning Painful Silence Key Black Beer Universal Evil Beast"
I'm also happy to see CC2 is continuing the tradition of sneaking dungeon key words into promotional material.
The new .hack news still has me stunned, I can't believe CC2 got it back. The trailer showed off a focus on social media and doomposting, so I'm very excited to see the series take on exactly what I've hoped they would: Twitter as a core source of society's ills.
