One thing a lot of my friends missed from other social media platforms was interacting with venerable Japanese game devs. To that end I've made a list of folks I know are here, focusing on devs whose games you will have heard of. Please share and tell me who I'm missing! go.bsky.app/5R1tEtT

Great thread, especially for those interested in the ebbs and flows of manga popularity over the years (a subject that is certainly not immune to all manner of internet rumor)
I absolute love using @jajanken.bsky.social's site, which collates every issue of Jump by both individual issue & collective series, so I though "I wonder how some of these charts would look if various story arcs were listed?"... so I did just that, as a test!
Here's how Slam Dunk works out.

Hiroshima and the End We Refuse to Imagine (Gift Article)
Eighty years after the city’s destruction, we seem to be blundering into a new age of nuclear perils. It is time for culture to rediscover “the courage to be afraid.”

This is great. Computer Entertainer was the only U.S. publication covering console games during the post-Atari-crash lacuna and early NES days. It’s an invaluable resource for gauging actual contemporary perception—disappointment at console releases drying up, excitement over Nintendo/Sega’s arrival
We've acquired the historic game magazine Computer Entertainer.
As in, we got the rights. We own the magazine. And we're putting it into the Creative Commons for anyone to use for free.

I have not resumed playing the Nana game, but I have finally updated my website: www.lillianmcintyre.com My CV has been updated and the link to it is now fixed, and a page with my artwork is back up due to popular demand. I also finally implemented some spam filtering for the contact form.

My former advisor has an article in this issue, and I'm intrigued by Hurley's piece on Seidensticker, whose translations still shape what we read of Japanese literature in English. More summer reading.

Checked out the Nana PS2 game today that @goosepimple.moe alerted me to the existence of. This is a title that boldly asks: what if there were THREE Nanas!? My Nana is from Ehime (where I was the first time I lived in Japan), wants to be a graphic designer, and has this cute boyish look.

Been catching up on/reviewing these this summer. I found Koyama's industrial history very useful and a good pairing with the Tanaka volume on game music - two parallel histories. I'm looking forward to tucking into the 文化論 edited volume next!
