Thought I'd do a quick post about what (re)posts to expect from me:
- video games, mainly older ones
- reverse engineering, programming
- computers, mostly retro-related
- general anime, manga and vtubers
- "cute anime girls(/boys/others; mostly girls)"
- real life rambles, occasional politics

"The only issue I am facing as a professional art director in games is that I just want them to leave me and my art teams alone so we can make cool art. There is no problem to be solved here"

worth noting disc 130 actually has MORE & much earlier concept art for Mega Man Legends, including multiple pieces with untranslated artist comments.

This went under the radar but new ROMs have surfaced for Nintendo Champus Challenge 1992 and PowerFest '94. These were provided by user Yaderize and are currently playable via the Ares and Higan emulators. See the alt text for each title screen screenshot.

ofc that ties into the broader issues surrounding commercial media's obsession with chasing & attempting to siphon SNS currents rather than offering informed, researched, considered counterpoint
no part of me believes that war hasn't already been lost, but there's hope for specialist outlets, maybe

lemme add the just-as-ugly flipside: rather than plainly leaning on MTL, some outlets try to launder their own forfeiture of responsibility by instead citing the same small handful of trash-peddling zerolingual SNS "aggregators" as sources, conferring authority in exchange for absolute dogshit
I wrote more words about how it feels to be a translator watching the games press report on AI and labor, coming from a field that's fought these battles for decades. It may look like I'm beating up on one outlet, but it's not about them; I've been trying to write this for me and my peers all year.

Well, fuck. Revoking any and all Peripeteia recommendations (and I wish I could un-back it on Kickstarter) based on the very thinly veiled transphobia from the dev (the first one in the screenshots here).
I hate this.

Acquaintance grabbed these screencaps. Idk if it's getting purged.
"Second stage is people rejecting conspiracy discourse" is genuinely hilarious, I gotta teach em a little about Yakub and maybe they'll change their tune

Lets talk about my new friend, the Konami Python.
It's kinda the odd duck of the family. The middle child between the Konami Viper and the Konami Python 2. The system was a short lived platform.

Just want you to know that when I asked Geoff why he gave the silent treatment to an open letter written by his own "future of games" program (& co-signed by 3000+ industry peers), he replied:

At some point, whether they want to or not, The Game Awards is going to have to reckon with the role it's played in the rampant corporitization of video games - and everything that's led to. And crucially, how the show and people behind it have failed to step up when it mattered.
