A full-page panel from Gou Tanabe's manga adaptation of The Shadow Over Innsmouth. The narrator stands on a tidal mudflat and looks to the sea with alarm.

In his manga adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's The Shadow Over Innsmouth, Gou Tanabe delights in the architecture of the rotting Massachusetts town. The detailed cityscapes that sprawl across the pages invite full immersion into the horror of social decay. 🐸 japaneselit.net/2025/10/24/t...

Final Fantasy XII vets talk game localization - GameSpot PAX 2009: Former Square Enix localizers Alexander Smith and Joseph Reeder present the challenges faced when translating Japanese dialogue.

This is super old, but I attended PAX 2009 and saw this localization panel (this article describes parts of it). As far as I can tell, no video of the panel exists, but I remember really great insight on not just FFXII but also FFX and Phoenix Wright. Does anyone know if anybody filmed it at all?

I am fine btw! Everything is okay. Friend corn maze 🖤

A normal day in Pennsylvania

Let's go to the corn maze, they said. It will be fun, they said. You will definitely not lose your way in a rustling sea of dead leaves as the light fails. Nothing is following you, they said

Back in my day, AI used to stand for Adobe Illustrator! And we hated that, too!

Maybe it's because Halloween is approaching, and maybe it's the general state of the world, but I've been in a Dark Souls kind of mood these days. #illustration

This photo made me feel 2014 in my bones

A screenshot from Vartio showing an 8-bit forest of trees under a starry sky.

If you’re a fan of simple but atmospheric walking sims, Vartio is an intriguing combination of retro graphics and precision sound design that allows you to immerse yourself in the spookiness of a starlit sea of trees. 🌲 A short #indiehorror review: digitalfantasydiary.com/2025/10/29/v...

Okay, buckle up for this one. I live in an up-and-coming (maybe) neighborhood of South Philly called Point Breeze that has a lot of abandoned properties. I myself happen to live next to an abandoned funeral home that's so decrepit it's become a small forest. There aren't any ghosts (unfortunately), but plenty of small animals live in the building and its trees, which is sometimes a problem. When the raccoons get hungry in the middle of the night and pry open my windows so they can eat my garbage. For example. But I don't mind, because living next to an abandoned building is probably as close to "nature" as I'm ever going to get. And it's really nice sometimes! Such as in this photo, which shows the lovely fall colors of the vines spilling over the concrete wall around my tiny concrete backyard.

RIP. He was also a huge influence on early shojo and shonen ai manga, including Ryoko Ikeda, who modeled Oscar in Rose of Versailles after him

Guillermo Del Toro: "Horror is made of such base material—so easily rejected or dismissed—that it may be hard to accept my postulate that within the genre lies one of the last refuges of spirituality in our materialistic world."

The Glassworker is a gorgeous, moving, sometimes brutal feature from Pakistan. Making it was a decade-long struggle.

Ghibli inspired it, but this is no GenAI knockoff. It’s a deep study of Hayao Miyazaki's and Isao Takahata's filmmaking. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/learning-t...

A screencap from the call for submissions posted on Bloodletter Magazine's website. The text reads: Issue Six Theme: Play Submission Deadline: November 1, 2025
