FINALLY i got to gush about how good Heaven's Vault is somewhere other than social media! Lovely, rare treat to be back on Tales from the Backlog.
New on Tales from the Backlog- @duckvalentine.bsky.social is back to deep dive Heaven's Vault! It's a remarkable feat of storytelling, and learning the in-game language was a blast. As always, no spoilers for a while!

Ubisoft and Treyarch resorting to regurgitative AI in their big $70 “AAA” games is simply pathetic.
The lack of integrity, the lack of dignity, the lack of pride. Sure, it’s all expected, but nonetheless miserably *pathetic* to witness.
Have some fucking self respect for once.

Well, I have a new reason to stay alive. Looks like Koji Shiraishi directed a new thing (KINKI, 2025) that is reliably being called his most NOROI-ish project since NOROI *and* it's based on a novel that's getting a translation later this year or early next.
