inKONBINI - I have no idea if this intentional... but why is all of the Japanese text reversed or mirrored? It's like it's trying to make some "unrealistic" version of the language, but it just looks like textures are backwards.
I wonder if it's a bug?

Can't believe Hanshin v SoftBank was what got me to sub to Hulu... Baseball of all things! The world is truly coming to an end indeed 😅

Oh boy, why am I totally ok with this.
To add clarity to this:
Influencers in China that discuss topics such as medicine, law, education, or finance must prove they are qualified or certified to do so, in an aim to clamp down on misinformation.
Right now it impacts large influencer accounts (1m+ followers) + bans false advertising.

Finally finished the entire interview piece by Design Room on Shadow of the Colossus 20th.
It's an absolutely wonderful piece, Matt carrying on his long form legacy is worth throwing a few bucks a month at for sure 👍

For the Shadow of the Colossus story, we interviewed 14 people including project leads Fumito Ueda and Kenji Kaido, hired Gravity Rush concept artist Takeshi Oga to illustrate the cover, and put together a 10,000-word story with help from @milkman.bsky.social @shmuplations.bsky.social and others.

This person is one hundred percent correct and it’s scary af. We will never “media literacy” our way out of this as a society. We are about to reap the whirlwind when it comes to misinformation, disinformation, and informational warfare.

Not sure how to articulate - but, the best piece of advice I could give is to make games with heart. The ol' "go with what you know" is super important, as it allows you to delve into really meaningful, genuine stuff that comes across to players without them even knowing why. It's the secret sauce.
What's your number one personal game design principle? And even better - does it have a cool name?

Look, it’s really straightforward to get a publisher as a new name indie in 2025. Simply do 95% of the work making and marketing your game, and if your metrics are trending towards almost certain success, a publisher will swoop in to promise the remaining 5%, deliver 3%, and collect 75%

Awaiting Asian Kung Fu Generation to start. The last one on the bucket list of Japanese bands I grew up with to watch live. Took 10 years of living here, but knocking them and Kana Boon out in one stroke this evening. 14 year old Liam would be very proud 👍
