I'll also say this outright: I remember people criticizing Code Geass and various modern Gundam shows for the politics being cartoonish, but...uh, real life sure is constantly proving that too many living political leaders and the ultra-wealthy can be both juvenile manchildren and cartoonishly evil.

I always was in the awkward position of being a Code Geass R2 apologist when it came to thematic analysis and character arcs, especially in light of genre and approach, but I also totally understood why folks weren't so happy about how exactly things turned out in terms of certain plot devices.

It's weird when you're simultaneously broke in reality yet not on paper.

Paypros censorship 🧵

As you all know, I've faced significant stress this month from having various online accounts dinged in some shape or form. I discussed this on stream earlier this week, but would like to break down the full timeline in post form

It's finally here! @len.bsky.social, @rowan.monster, and @jonbolds.bsky.social set sail into Europa Universalis 5 to answer burning questions like, "Is it actually good?" and, "Is it even possible to evaluate it that straightforwardly at all at this point?"

note the legals: LRG's using Japan's arbitration system for orphaned games to reissue Little Samson—if you can demonstrate that you've made a genuine effort to contact/identify a potential rights owner to no avail, you can legally commercialise an old game by paying royalties to the JP govt, which…

[Review] I can summarize Full Metal Schoolgirls thusly: it feels like a PlayStation 2 game, in the best of ways.

I was briefly tempted to say the current One Punch Man S3 anime controversy showed the dark side of the sakuga community, but I quickly realized that most of the people who actually know and care about the anime industry aren't the ones threatening creators or fueling the hate mobs.

Fantasy Maiden Wars is out right now!

I am very ignorant of all things Touhou, but the game's reputation is quite good and the Super Robot Wars influence is appealing.

F91 was released to theaters in an incomplete state, using TV-quality animation they had already made and missing many scenes. Later in the same year a "complete" edition was released to theaters, comprised of almost 100% redone animation. if you've seen F91 it was probably Complete Edition.

20 years ago today, BioWare revealed their next-gen RPG 'Project SFX', officially titled Mass Effect at Xbox's X05 event in Amsterdam.

It also gave us our first look at Commander Shepard's original model.

Andrew Dice (SpaceDrake) took a massive risk bringing over EasyGameStation titles at a time when “doujin” had almost zero visibility. It was a joy to see those games succeed! 10 years ago, he shared his burnout story, so it’s a triumph that he was able to come back for SRW Y. Rest in peace.

I can remember a time I was always looking forward to Carpe Fulgur's next project. Knowing that they helped with the translation and localization for Super Robot Wars was an unexpected yet welcome development.

Rest in peace, SpaceDrake. Thanks for everything.
Absolutely devastated by this news. SpaceDrake was no doubt a huge influence in drumming up interest for Japanese indie games localized into English and pushing for them on digital distribution storefronts like steam. Huge loss. Might be time for another playthrough of Recettear in his honour.

For our review of Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, we asked a writer who has never played Trails to check out the remade first entry of the long-running series.

"It’s the easiest 10/10 I’ve ever given... This is a must-play."
