Would there be demand for an emulation box that plays original, physical games _but_ applies emulator style improvements on the hardware side? Feels like FPGA is always more intended for purist experience. But those hobbyists also are the ones who likely own the original games.

hell yeah

It is a heavyhanded metaphor for oppression and how people perpetuate it cyclically. You don't really see dark themes like this handled by a video game which is why it's interesting. Check it out if you like Lynch style suspenseful horror that is intended to make you feel bad.

Hollow Knight is interesting because they only borrowed the forlorn atmosphere from Dark Souls, rather than the game mechanics. And they succeeded very well by managing to capture the soul of the game rather the frame of it and build something unique on top of it.

Oh! This is an excellent idea, I’ll have to give it a try.

I feel like it’s so easy to fall into a rut just drilling vocabulary and grammar that you start missing actually using the language. Moreso if you don’t get to talk it regularly.

For whatever reason, my Xbox app is forever stuck into Japanese only, because I have JP IME enabled. It’s not even on by default, or the priority input method!

Only solution I’ve found is uninstalling the IME which I simply won’t do.
