Y'all, I know two hours is a big time commitment, but this panel I arranged and hosted last month is one of the most important things I've ever done for video game history. The launch of the NES is a crazier story than most people realize, and my guests were extremely generous with their memories.
Hear about the NES US launch 40 years ago from the people that made it happen: Gail Tilden, Bruce Lowry and Lance Barr with @frankcifaldi.bsky.social from the @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social moderating! Panel recording at youtu.be/f2WDfsiLiRA

Hey, you should think about playing one of the most creative turn-based/real time strategy titles ever for 5$. That's before mentioning the groundbreaking watercolor filter, how it was inspired from Gears of War & story of war that puts regular people at the forefront of the conflict, all rare.

for the most part i still really don't like CSP's 3D tools (compared to alternatives like DesignDoll) but this feature is CRAZY GOOD and I use it a lot. Almost like a magic trick.
I don't know who needs to hear this but:
PLEASE REMEMBER CLIP STUDIO HAS A HAND SCANNER THAT WILL REPLICATE A HAND 3D MODEL TO YOUR HAND'S POSITION.
DON'T SUFFER IN SILENCE TRYING TO DRAW THAT HAND POSE

I appreciate all these posts of "well, with $30 you could buy X amount of indies". But, really the "devaluing" that has happened over the past few years can be somewhat attributed to the relative cheapness at which games are now seen when they're included in subsc services or given away for free.

Was immediately entranced reading Innocent by Shin-ichi Sakamoto years ago, and yet somehow even more quickly won over by #DRCL midnight children showcasing his characteristic contrast of beauty and grotesquerie dancing betwixt the surreal. Available on the Viz App (on desktop).

NEVER sign a contract where the publisher keeps your rights indefinitely. For short stories, there should be a point when you can sell reprints.
and NEVER sign your movie/TV/etc adaptation rights to a publisher. Those are yours.
