So many copies of Click. So many more than you could possibly think. In every language, in every format. DVD, Blu-ray, VHS, UMD, Korean, Japanese, Russian... All in front of a German click poster. The Click never ends.

It fascinates me how reticent any JP media corporation is to making non-JP money.
I still find it deeply saddening how the biggest extent they've taken up on the city pop wave has been some new MVs and expanded Spotify presence. Like yes - it's good that people have access to your music now, but that's the *bare minimum*.

Fun Omni lore: I once learned German in a hyper-intensive course over two months in order to get into German school. The primary reason why it's easier as kids is that it's easier to allocate huge blocks of time to continuously learning, not anything about "brain structure".

Every Sega fan worth their salt should know about Inu no Osanpo, a real dog-walking Naomi arcade game played on a treadmill with a leash controller, and write to their Congressional representative to demand at least one cabinet be installed within their district.

He wanted so badly to become a teacher and raise up a community, using fighting games to lift others up from poverty and misery just like what happened to him.
I hope he gets a vector to do this in the future. If he wants to partner with us, he's always welcome.
These levels are connected, but the connection feels weak without a hub.
The levels are big, but the bragging about how huge it is makes them feel like too much instead of letting you figure that out on your own.
Small decisions with big impact!
Genuinely that small choice, plus the lack of a "hub world" concept makes Voodoo Vince significantly worse in experience than something like Jak and Daxter even though the actual level designs can match up with Jak any day. It's interesting how strong an effect context has.
03.08.2025 05:50 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I think part of it is because the game *really* wants to show off the power of the Xbox to render these gigantic levels and swoop through them with a buttery smooth framerate, but they're *so* big that it just makes me think "nah I'm good for tonight thanks" and shut it off.

It's a very strange game where it feels amazing in bursts with immaculate vibes, visuals, and cool level design, but I also want to stop.

That thing was too big to be called a stick. Too big, too thick, too heavy, and too rough, it was more like a large hunk of sanwa.
