i've just been made aware there's a java mobile port of the first lumines and this is such a deeply goofy and unserious way to listen to Shake Ya Body (doesn't midi have a whistle why the god awful whistle replacement???)

re: roblox dude's interview crashout. the thing he wants to say but can't is "at scale, kids are gonna get hurt. that is the price for scale." the thing nobody wants to say out loud is "maybe scaling to a level where harm isn't manageable is bad, and scale should be contained"

Very, very much still enjoying Lumines Arise this week. Getting to enjoy it on a comfy gamepad & an 120hz screen is such a treat.

Very grateful to the folks behind the game & the folks behind Crossover on macOS. Cheers, folks!

tetsuya mizuguchi truly, earnestly believes, with his whole heart and whole mind, that generic vocal trance from 2003 has the power to awaken humanity's shared consciousness and guide us to universal peace. The strength of his conviction is so powerful that it might actually cause this to be true

The new Lumines has absolutely killer art direction precisely because it has zero fear of being perceived as corny. It will just throw every idea it has at you and maybe not all will land but at some point you WILL cry about how all humans are connected while matching broccoli and tomatoes onscreen

Fun fact: Q Entertainment approached Daft Punk about making a Lumines game, and they were interested, but it fell through because of their work on Tron: Legacy.

It was even going to feature NEW music made for the game itself!

Can you imagine how cool that would have been?

Daft Punk came close to working with Tetsuya Mizuguchi on a Lumines sequel, but it wasn't meant to be.
