Another Twitter exodus? Well, what the fuck were y'all still doing there? 😀
Anyway, welcome. I'm in this @thestacks.ca starter pack of local porn/eroge enthusiasts. Although, I'm by far the most unhinged of them. Sorry about that? The rest are nice, regular people. Follow them, maybe 🙏

A cool issue and an ode to the diversity of games on the Saturn. Here’s Koei’s Dark Hunter, a supernatural thriller that was part of a larger franchise aimed towards teaching players English. The scenario was written by none other than Kaoru Kurimoto of Guin Saga fame!

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.
Seems like it's worth posting this one again.

Who coined "Metroidvania"? It wasn't @jparish.bsky.social, and he'll be the first to tell you. Besides, there are far more interesting questions, like: How did it spread? Evolve? And what's it got to do with rickrolling?
