Just a reminder
Screenshot of an anime image featuring Minako Aino, a blonde girl with a red bow and large blue eyes holding a piece of paper. The paper reads: “If seeing a Page post something anti-ICE prompts you to complain about seeing ‘politics’ in that space, this isn’t the place for you. We care about humans here.” The background is a simple indoor scene.

A close up of Red Skull, a red skinned villain with a skull like face staring angrily at the viewer. White meme text reads, “Considering your country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize” at the top, and “I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of peace” at the bottom.

I know abridged series are meant to be parody, but I really hope TeamFourStar doesn’t continue their Sailor Moon abridged. I don’t want it becoming the default lens people use to understand a series that’s a lot more sincere and emotionally rich.
Manga cover for Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, volume 1. Sailor Moon, a blonde teenage girl with twin buns and very long flowing pigtails, smiles brightly while posing in front of a large glowing yellow moon. She wears a white sailor uniform with a blue collar and skirt, a red bow on her chest, white gloves, and red knee-high boots. She holds a crescent-shaped wand raised near her head, with her other arm bent at her side. The background is a pink to orange gradient with sparkles. Japanese title text appears at the top, “Kodansha Comics” is printed above it, and the number 1 is shown for the volume. The author’s name, Naoko Takeuchi, appears in Japanese at the bottom.

I done would have played the fuck out of this #SailorMoon game as a kid regardless if the graphics were bad or not and it got an English translation.

I think it is Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon SuperS: Shin Shuyaku Soudatsusen

6+ years ago, I started The Retro Blast Podcast because I was in a sad mental place and needed a creative outlet.

I told myself, "Get just ONE listener. That'll be enough."

Well, today I'm celebrating 250,000 downloads!

Thanks for listening to me talk about why video games are special.

Not a huge Chipotle fan, but my girlfriend introduced me to some solid high protein options. My doctor recommended more protein while cutting carbs on my weight loss med so this works. Chicken and cheese is it for me. I don't like rice and the beans are not bad. I am a picky eater historically.

Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam

This is where we're at now.

4 games i wish I could experience for the first time again
Stylized anime artwork featuring the cast of Persona 5 Royal. Joker stands in the foreground wearing a black school uniform and red glove, striking a dramatic pose. Surrounding him are the Phantom Thieves in red, black, and gold tones, including a black cat mascot, masked fighters, and allies posed in motion. The background is abstract and dynamic, emphasizing rebellion and teamwork. Side-by-side Nintendo DS game covers for Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version. Pokémon Black shows the legendary Reshiram, a white dragon, against a dark background. Pokémon White shows Zekrom, a black dragon, against a light background. Both covers feature bold logos and high contrast, highlighting opposing themes. Promotional artwork for Chrono Trigger showing the main cast standing together on a white background. Characters include a red-haired swordsman, a blonde cavewoman, a frog knight, a robot, and other companions in fantasy and sci-fi outfits. The Chrono Trigger logo appears above them with clock imagery, emphasizing time travel. Split promotional artwork for Final Fantasy X and X-2 HD Remaster. On the left, Tidus holds a sword by the ocean under a blue sky. On the right, Yuna stands confidently holding pistols in a brighter, more modern outfit. A glowing, mystical structure rises in the background, contrasting the two eras and tones.

Announcement:

I will not be writing a GameFAQs guide for Yakuza Kiwami 3/Dark Ties.

Full statement below:
Hi everyone. CyricZ here. After giving myself time to reflect on my options, I’ve decided that I will not be writing a GameFAQs guide for Yakuza Kiwami 3 / Dark Ties. I will not be purchasing the game, nor playing it in any capacity. I write guides because I love writing, and I write for the games that I write for because they inspire me. The joy I find in them drives me to give my best work. If I were to write a guide entirely out of obligation or expectation, I do not believe my best work would find its way to the page. With the hiring of known sexual harasser Teruyuki Kagawa to the face and voice cast of Yakuza Kiwami 3, I do not find myself inspired by the game. The Like a Dragon series has a long-standing history of opposing sexual misconduct in all its forms and I feel this casting goes against that message. Key members of RGG Studio have refused to speak on the hiring of Kagawa after his misconduct was made more widely known. While they are by no means required to speak about this, by their silence they have sent a message that they do not view Kagawa’s misconduct as a dealbreaker for inclusion in the series cast, nor do they deem it worth addressing. This stands in contrast to steps taken in the past to replace other cast members that did not align with their values. I won’t go into further detail on the issue itself as the information is widely available via the #REMOVEKAGAWA movement. The rest of this will be about me, my guides, and my relationship with RGG Studio and the Like a Dragon series. I remain a fan of the Like a Dragon series. It’s not something I can just excise from myself. I intend to continue playing past Like a Dragon games on stream as they are some of my favorite video games. That may be subject to change in the future, but the plans are to continue playing the games on stream in my intended order, with the exception of Yakuza Kiwami 3 or Dark Ties. The only minor thing that will change with regards to my streams is that I intend to take special note during stream of the many, many instances during the series that remind us of the societal ill of sexual misconduct. As to future games put out by RGG Studio, I reserve the right to not make a decision on those at this time. That will be a “wait and see” situation, dependent on future actions or inactions by RGG Studio. Further, if things change with regards to the release of Yakuza Kiwami 3, I reserve the right to reassess all the preceding. RGG Studio still has the opportunity to do right in this situation, and I hold onto hope that they will see the best way forward. Finally, I promise to all my readers that my GameFAQs guides for the Like a Dragon series and other RGG Studio games will be going nowhere no matter what happens. Not only are they some of my best work, but if I preserve the guides with myself as the author, I remain in creative control of them. This prevents others from taking the text and redistributing it without my consent, which is something I fear would happen if I were to remove them from GameFAQs entirely. For those of you who read my guides, thank you so much for your support, and I’m sorry I will not be helping with this upcoming game. For anyone who wants to write a guide on GameFAQs for Yakuza Kiwami 3, be my guest, not that you need my permission anyway. For those of you joining me in solidarity against Kagawa and this release, I thank you all for sticking with it. Your commitment has inspired this. Be good to each other, Scott “CyricZ” Zdankiewicz

I'm just saying if @adammockler.com did a whole TV channel or network one day I'd watch it if it were live news or so similar to CNN or ESPN.

I will say the voice acting work in Amanda The Adventurer 3 is amazing. The ending also isn't how I expected it to go considering the games genre.
A bright cartoon title screen from Amanda the Adventurer displayed on an old TV. It shows a smiling brown-skinned girl with round pigtails wearing an orange shirt, and a white cartoon sheep beside her. They stand in front of a large red apple with green leaves. The colorful logo reads “AMANDA THE ADVENTURER” in bold playful letters against a blue background.

Wait GameFreak even saying how bad BDSP was in this??
Literal translation(rough translation??) is Remakes after BW should be made with more heart and soul. So that they become good works that allow people different from the LEGENDS series to remember that era. Plain and simple English is Remakes after Black & White should be made with more care and passion, so they can be great games that let people look back fondly on that era, separate from the Legends series.

Say it loud for Indigenous Peoples’ Day. 💯

#IndigenousPeoplesDay
Screenshot of a meme showing Homer Simpson from The Simpsons tightly clenching his lips in visible frustration. The caption above reads: “How hard I pronounce the F in fuck Christopher Columbus when someone says it's Columbus Day.” The image humorously conveys strong disapproval of celebrating Columbus Day.
