I wrote a long article about Rieko Kodama, her career at Sega, the evolution of her company, the games she worked on (including some canceled games and/or games for which she is not credited), the status of women and working conditions in the video game industry, etc.

Love early lo-fi gaming verbs? The chipcrusher v2.123 beta update has you covered with MT32 and AWE32 effect impulse responses, captured *straight off hardware* using custom sound ROMs. Beta in our forums. CLAP and Linux too!

It seems like the best way to radicalize yourself for cheap these days is at your local supermarket.

Pour les personnes intéressées par le japonais qui me suivent, je recommande à 200% ce livre de Kinsui Satoshi sur les Yakuwarigo traduit par J. Bazantay. Il m’a permis d’enfin comprendre pourquoi la langue des fictions (livres, dorama, manga) est si souvent différente du japonais de la vie réelle 🤓

Late last century, Sega gave these out to journalists as a Dreamcast promo. I don't think they made too many of these.

Here's my latest work. Recorded in mountainous regions in Portugal, Spain and France. Spectacular acoustics with incredible creatures. Ravishing landscapes.
About the imminence and belonging of death as part of life.

In my early days of learning Japanese, our teacher asked us to go home and make hiragana and katakana flash cards.

Deeming index cards too boring, I instead made two "apps" for the Dreamcast VMU to help me practice my characters. 😄

I finally managed to get my hands on a pair of Geofóns. Probably thanks to the DIY kit, which does not seem to be very popular (soldering and assembling was simple).

Since I am in Japan, I want to try them for their intended purpose, i.e., recording seismic activity.

Found this interesting collection of short stories by Eguchi Hisashi (江口寿史) from 1994 in a second-hand bookshop.
One of the stories, called Pocky, really reminds me of ONE's Mob Psycho 100. Lots of similarities so I wonder if that was one of the inspirations 👀.
