happy amagami day, everyone! if you start a play through today you can sync the in-game calendar up with the real life calendar
a new eng patch version for the vita version released recently that no longer adds a bunch of disc swaps, so if you can't read japanese there's never been a better time!

you can't just say you don't like a game anymore, you gotta say "it doesn't respect your time"

That demo disc is cool, if only for the fact that they made an entire production out of it. They put someone in an Ape Escape costume and traveled around the USA. I would love to know who these people are and how they were approached to participate in this nonsense.

I wrote more words about how it feels to be a translator watching the games press report on AI and labor, coming from a field that's fought these battles for decades. It may look like I'm beating up on one outlet, but it's not about them; I've been trying to write this for me and my peers all year.

whenever i see a set of words edited in to the tmnt logo i play them along to a song in my head that i'm about 80% sure is actually from a different show, but that just happens to fit the rhythm and i kind of hope i never confirm one way or the other if it's the right song or not, i like not knowing

I was poking through the English translation after finishing too, and it has a cute mistake that made me smile. The main character asks the villain whether they're the 黒幕 (literally "black curtain", but means someone pulling the strings), and the translation seemed to think it was a name.

大味 is such an evil word. one of the worst in the japanese language, for sure. it should not be legal for something written and pronounced like it is to mean what it does.
