$44 million, considering Japanese salaries and the current exchange rate, seems a ridiculous amount needed and wondering where this comes from.
Looking at the Nagoshi Studio recruitment listings, salaries are very high at 9-11 million yen, but still

It was Gen Hoshino (as in from Death Stranding 2) singing a song live outside the Nintendo Museum,to go inside around the exhibits +sit down next to Kondo-san and let him riff on SMB for a bit. It was surreal to see on a national broadcast for NYE and very cool. Moved on to other acts straight after

@historyofhyrule.com @hyruleinterviews.bsky.social meant to ask both of you, sorry it slipped my mind until now - did you hear about 2025/2026 NYE broadcast on NHK that had a guest spot from Koji Kondo?

My papa worked on Amadeus.I was a baby+my mum flew out with me to Prague to visit him.Growing up,I heard so many stories about that shoot+the city which was still communist at the time. Including one night when all the film crew were ejected from their hotel with no notice due to diplomats flying in

OMFG. Steve Albini's Fugazi sessions, officially available for the first time in transfers pulled directly from the master tapes, released to support the non-profit Letters Charity Steve and his wife were involved in. It's superb. A piece of music history.

Critters taking climate action Beavers are saving the day, but amphibians can’t take the heatβ€”and how bird watching is a climate action

That's amazing! I can't imagine how that works.
I would tell people about the time that beavers saved the Czech government over 1M euros by building a dam where the government planned one but hadn't done it yet. Because beavers are amazing! www.talkingclimate.ca/p/critters-t...

I think the city arresting someone for doing something like that is normal, but the fact someone was doing that in the first place is not. Was it the QAnon Shaman?

If you’re part of any creative groups, unions or other organisations in the uk you should be passing news like this along and spreading the world. News like this gets has the chance to be overlooked but if enough organisations kick up a fuss things can change.

I feel it was a lot easier to add custom tech/ replace parts of the graphics pipeline on UE4 than UE5, which is hard enough to try and understand due to the 3 headed beast that is nanite,lumen and VSMs before tinkering with parts of it. Suicide Squad had a heavily customized version of UE4

You do not have to be a β€œgamer” to be a successful high-level executive in the video game industry. In fact, the trait that seems to correlate with game business success the most is completely hating them

Rewatched Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence (2004) recently, it’s still terrific... the only anachronistic moment for me was when it assumed the rich would be embarrassed to admit they owned a sex robot... we know today they’d be posting constantly about their sex robot, and their sex robot’s insights

There are so many reasons these days where I’m feeling like this focus on generative AI might be one of the worst mistakes in recent human history. Whatever perceived value it could provide isn’t worth the damage it’s doing in so many areas.

I love the look of that office, including the maritime themed staff restaurant, but it's in the middle of Osaki city in Tokyo and there's close to nothing around that building ;( Glad to hear you are having a blast there!

It is time again to unfairly compare myself to others in my field, label myself a failure, and ignore my many accomplishments and successes 🫑

People often decry the annual company - mandated health check/θ¨Ίζ–­ here in Japan but I'm so grateful for it in case it catches anything at an early stage <3

Have you ever watched the GDC video for God Of War 2018 by Mihir Sheth? Apparently the game had external reviewers/playtest groups state "we just wanted it to be over" on an early build. That led to informing design decisions that eventually made it a great game...
