Em termos de organização, acho q nosso auge foi quando tinha uma rede enorme de site de anime com sub. Mas pode ser só pq era uma organização muito "pública", talvez tenha coisas maiores hj...
Por um tempo tbm teve a games project com várias roms de jogos, mas lembro q morreu rápido.
Real demais, mas acho q é nossa eterna falta de recurso & acesso... ter um servidor parrudo onde a lei não chega é caro. O maluco lá do Myrient tava pagando 6 mil doletas do bolso pra manter o site no ar...
Jesus this is insightful banger after banger.
In your time on this earth you will chance upon works of art. And for some, you'll conclude with desperate rationale that they are the mere capstones of creative lineages unbeknown to you. The alternative explanation—that someone invented them from whole cloth—your ego as an artist will not permit
Resident Evil 3 ~ バイオハザード3 (1999)
Developed by Capcom.
Important to mention that the poll allows for downvoting... Kingdom Come 2 got a lot of hate from the "anti-woke" clowns and would be GOTY if you remove the negative votes.
But Avowed & Outer Worlds 2 remain in limbo even when you remove the 1/5 and 2/5 votes. Interesting result.
If you're looking for RPGs to play, I just finished the RPG Codex's 2025 GOTY: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...
The winner was Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon, but the real reason why I like doing the poll is charting this graph to visualize hits & hidden gems (of a very particular audience, ofc)
I haven't played 2, but I didn't like 1 either... it felt too "been there, done that". Like a lesser version of New Vegas, obsessed with Rick & Morty and extremely poor & surface-level political comment.
Can't chat with co-workers if I do. Also, it's disgusting to have to use something like that just to eat in peace.
A surprising number of people never heard that all-timer fantasy tribal management sim King Of Dragon Pass got sequels.
Two of them! They're very good. Also a new strategy game in the same setting just came out recently - Runequest: Warlords.

Quando mergulho em outras culturas assim, acho divertido imaginar o inverso. Se Hokuto no Ken faz eu aprender sobre as 3 fortalezas & 28 mansões da astrologia chinesa...
...deve ter fã de Cavaleiros do Zodíaco na China q fez o mesmo pra saber oq é "Sagitário". E pirando ao ver Asclépio de Ofiúco XD
Outro na mesma linha é esse sobre música do oriente médio vs esteriótipos ocidentais, coisa fina demais:
youtu.be/LR511iAedYU?...
O mundo é um lugar enorme, lindo e cheio de mistérios - amo de coração textos assim, que abrem sua mente pra coisas q vc nem sabia q existia.
É curtinho, leiam mesmo q não tenham nenhum interesse em Hokuto no Ken.
No no, you have a point!
Devs that look like their games 1/??
Very different to have them asking you to leave after eating because it's a small place from a huge chain making the environment intentionally bad to push people out.
A lot of marketing feels like that... all this insight into humanity, all being used to increase profits by 5% YoY
It's why I love Arcanum's world-building so much - a Fantasy world being devoured by an industrial revolution. The dark arts of Necromancy being used to get cheap factory workers lol
I know I'm not being paranoid because 20 years ago I was at university learning behavioral marketing and how McDonald store's entire decoration and even the cleaning products they use are also designed to make the place overwhelm your senses and push people out quickly once they eat...
Close to work there's a cheap sushi chain with a great price/quality ratio...
...but every 5 minutes it blasts a loud & annoying song, made specifically to interrupt conversations & kill any sense of relaxation, pushing you to leave quickly after eating.
Even a peaceful meal comes at a premium 💀
Essas perspectivas do tipo "os EUA perderam a guerra do Afeganistão" normalmente partem da premissa que a definição de quem ganhou a guerra é: os EUA conseguiram o que eles disseram que iam conseguir?
Eu entendo isso, é parte da história, mas só parte. Tem mais coisa em jogo, guerra não é só isso.
I would suggest this is a more valuable Steam chart, from SteamDB. Releases dramatically grow each year but the number of new games getting more than 500 user reviews does not.

I've just had an amazing idea
Vampire World: Port of Death (2007), aka Vampire Hunters or Вампиры. Ночь возмездия
My favorite one closed down during COVID, but any 麺屋こころ, 麺屋はなびor 禁断のとびら store is pretty good & cheap.
It's my sacred duty to take friends visiting Japan to eat mazesoba
And yeah, I played tons of bad RPGs... the kind you go "lol wtf were the devs thinking..."
This one was particularly weird because I felt like many of the bad decisions I might have made as well if I were in charge and had very limited resources.
IMHO, it's very useful to play certain bad games as part of better understanding the medium.
Vampire World could be a cool RPG, but plays more like a beginner's RPG Maker project... very similar to the ones I did in the past. I feel playing this made understand better why my attempts felt so dull.
