I play video games, read books and manga, and try to be a decent person. Made a ROM hack called Ys III Renewal. I'm also one of the developers of the OpenBOR game engine.

Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters - Like Grand Kingdom, I haven't gotten around to playing very much of this one, but look at this excerpt from a review of it. Is there any other game that's fucked up in this particular way?

just looked this up and found this beautiful paragraph on Wikipedia
Abel Ferrara, director of the 1992 film, has been quoted by various media outlets as being very angry about the film. After it was first announced, Ferrara was quoted as saying "As far as remakes go, ... I wish these people die in Hell. I hope they're all in the same streetcar, and it blows up."[18] When asked later for his response to Ferrara's statements, Herzog stated that he does not know who Ferrara is, saying "I've never seen a film by him. I have no idea who he is."[18] At a press conference at the Venice Film Festival after the film's premiere, Herzog said of Ferrara, "I would like to meet the man," and "I have a feeling that if we met and talked -- over a bottle of whisky, I should add -- I think we could straighten everything out."[19] In 2018 at Newcastle International Film Festival, Ferrara said that he had eventually met Herzog and had made peace with him.[20]

Remilia: "At least she'll dirty her hands to get rid of what she hates. Admirable." Flan: "Yeah! That means I'm always admirable!"

Narration: "Suddenly, Chief Marisa appears behind the mummy. Chief Marisa pulls out a knife and stabs the mummy in the back. The mummy turns to ash in an instant." Sakuya: "She's quite skilled with that knife." Remilia: "...That's what caught your attention?"

Remilia: "I'm proud of her for being able to say sorry." Flan: "So many people can't!"

I'm sure she understood what ZUN was saying. She also deliberately misconstrued it, to make it sound like almost the opposite of what he actually said! Look at the original statement in context, and then look at her summary of it.

I've been enjoying Star Rail more since the 3.0 update than I was before. 3 weeks left to see if I can go 2 levels higher than this.

Updated version for 2025! I never expected Freedom Wars to escape the Vita jail, but here we are.

Clarified my thoughts on the last few Ys games on Discord
Although I like Ys VIII pretty well, the only part of it I find really excellent is the ending. More than anything, though, I wish 9 and 10 didn't use 8 as the basis for a formula like why does Ys IX bring back the tower defense bits I'm also not the biggest fan of how both 9 and 10 basically recreate the island from 8 where the population grows as you rescue people and everyone unlocks some kind of gameplay function. It's fine in 8, but it feels awkward and forced in 9 and 10 It feels especially silly how everyone you rescue in Ys X becomes part of the ship's crew. I think it would be a much better game if the ship had a smaller crew and most of the auxiliary characters were just taken to safety when you rescue them It feels like the only reason it's designed like that is force of habit; it's what they did in 8 and 9, so this one should also work like this

I finally sat down and wrote down what my favorite games of 2024 were:
Favorite games of 2024: 1) Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island 2) Unicorn Overlord 3) Lorelei and the Laser Eyes If I had a list of my 100 or so favorite games ever, these three would all be in it somewhere. Cool game but I accidentally put it down at some point and there are dozens of hours left in it, oops: Metaphor: ReFantazio Game that I love but feels like it shouldn't be grouped together with the above since it's a free-to-play gacha live service thing: Zenless Zone Zero Games that didn't come out in 2024 but I got around to them in 2024 and they're cool: Crystar This one in particular would go somewhere in my list of all-time favorite games if I had such a list Alan Wake Game that would probably be in the above list but I started it in December and haven't finished it yet: Crymachina Games from 2024 that are fine but not good enough to be on the list: Haunted Castle Revisited You can tell this game was made by M2 because it's competent in every way, yet not at all interesting. It will go down in history as one of the Castlevania games of all time. Touhou Genso Wanderer: Foresight As the biggest Genso Wanderer Reloaded fan, I'm especially crestfallen that Foresight just isn't good. It also didn't help that Shiren 6, a dramatically better game in the same genre, came out a month earlier. Ys X: Nordics Ys Seven came out 15 years ago, and I'm still waiting for a new Ys that isn't just that game with manual camera control and worse boss fights. Ys X is a step in the right direction, and certainly better than the last few in that regard, but would have benefited immensely by inheriting fewer ideas from Ys VIII.
