P.S. Directly sharing my findings with others is more reliable than any algorithm when it comes to informing the far corners of the world-wide web. I'm appreciative of any help put towards that goal.

Je rejoue à Ico ça fait plus de 20 ans que je n’y avais pas rejoué. C’est le jeu qui m’a fait acheter une PS2 et lâcher ma Dreamcast. Le jeu est toujours aussi agréable et à une manière subtile de nous montrer où aller avec des mouvements de caméra ou avec Yorda qui nous montre du doigt ou interagir

Jorinde im Käfig - 7000 Jungfrauen hat die Zauberin in Nachtigallen verwandelt. Ich fand dieses Märchen als Kind faszinierend, gerne hätte ich die rote Blume gefunden und Jorinde erlöst.

This took me an hour or so. It illustrates one of my guesses as to how the Old Queen Fight worked. Ico has some unused animations suggesting he’d be turned to stone in phases (starting from the legs).

I wondered if he could strike The Queen’s attacks to reverse this.

This is a really vulnerable time for paypro call centers. It's already been reported that Mastercard is stressed by our persistence

I know we're all busy around this time too but let's fire the engines 🔥
#SaveSpeech

starting Nov 1st we're entering the holiday season, which is a big stress point for big businesses like Mastercard and Visa. These Paypros havent stopped cracking down on Adult Content, so we need to jump back into calling them in full force again!

[ ICO ] 👻

🔷 Outstanding

I can't honestly believe this is a PS2 game

Like, how (?)

Breathtaking visuals and environment building, superb narrative and bond building, pretty cool gameplay (best iteration of "following companion" i've seen)

I can't wait to give Shadow of the Colossus a try

Emon's line as he throws the sword (horn as a placeholder atm) in the sealing spring was translated as "settle down!"

In the later release it was translated as "Begone foul beast!"

"Settle down!" is a much more accurate translation of the original. Wonder why they made it less accurate.

Happy 20th birthday ワンダと巨像!! (Shadow of the Colossus)

One of the greatest and most innovative games ever made. I cherish it and the connections I've made because of it deeply.

Things are quiet for now but I got feeling it won't be long before we start seeing another wave a mass censorship and restrictions, not only on nsfw content but art and media overall.

Keep calling. Keep writing. Keep awareness up! Let's do what we can to protect our right to create freely!
Not seeing much on my timeline about it anymore, so here's a reminder: payment processors are still trying to censor NSFW content of all kinds, and are in fact getting more aggressive about it; I'm seeing stories of folks losing access every day

Call them & tell them THIS IS BULLSHIT
Stop payment processors from censoring games!

For day 24 of #ttrpgpromptober the prompt is "Colossal beast"; I thought I'd be into this one but I'm still kind of in a slump, and possibly just starting to get worn out. Anyway, here's some prompts directly about Shadow of the Colossus 😅

And it doesn't go unnoticed that remakes/remasters often replace older versions of games in digital stores! The new, sleek version is considered the de facto one, while the actual original is consigned to rom sites where companies can freely sue the archivists who run them not for profit

Another 10,000 words on Shadow of the Colossus?! Today, we're posting two never-before-seen interviews @nsuttner.bsky.social did for his @bossfightbooks.com book on Shadow that came out back in 2015. For the first, he talks to @thatgamecompany.com's Jenova Chen.

the storyboards that are included in The Last Guardian: An Extraordinary Story are stunning on their own but even more impressive when you realize that EVERY board ends up as a frame

Ueda did many of these sketches himself because his vision was so clear and unwavering 🥹

These birds you find throughout The Forbidden Lands are called Kites. They are a species of bird well known throughout Japan, and because of this, proverbs have been written about them.
This post reminded me of one:

鳶に油揚げをさらわれる

“A kite steals the fried tofu”

It means to be robbed of one’s due.
