I was so inspired by beruwk0 anime girls painted with oil on canvas, that I've picked up acrylics and painted The Gregory

Cold Steel was originally set in a school but branched out as they graduated, the most recent series, the Daybreaks, focus around a bunch of 20-somethings with a few student tagalongs so the age bracket does tend to trend up

I mostly remember "Trust" being set to a setup video for Braska's Final Aeon on like super grainy 240p video that I just copied to finish the run I was on but it was also a really catchy song

Daggerheart had me liking things like the Syndicate Rogue after I had a minor personal epiphany due to MUSH that sometimes it's liberating to have a character whose response to combat is to go 'ZOINKS' like they're Shaggy and leap into someone handsome's arms

Spoke to a second source familiar with what’s going on with paypro censorship toward me. It seems I’ve been blacklisted among paypros as a creator, particularly for mommy domme content. This could escalate into debanking, I learned

Ana is currently dealing with either a coordinated, but quiet(er than usual) harassment campaign of malicious reporting, a coordinated debanking, or a literally unbelievably coincidental series of deplatformings. It just so happens she's been one of the loudest critics of paypros this year.

Sharing some of the high-quality Breath of Fire III artwork by Tatsuya Yoshikawa that came from GamePro magazine press CDs preserved by @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social!

It's cool to see the Japanese key art separated between the background and Ryu/Nina/Rei/Garr group!

Yeah?

Yeah, decades of GMing and MUSHing both really does mean I've really refined that part of roleplaying myself, I've found, I do really want to give Daggerheart a try

Yeah, I've come to really appreciate understanding which type of game is best for which player? Like I have players who struggle at "spotlight" games because they don't tend to be comfortable at suddenly having it on them and aren't spontaneous thinkers

Average gundam protagonist tries to kill himself zero times. Suicides heero, who tries to kill himself 10000 times per show, is an outlier and should not have been counted

Note for the posters today:

Panel 1: A fairly buff white guy with messy blonde hair and prominent eyelashes gestures forward with his hand and says "We men are perverts. That's why we objectify women." This is the Sanrio Guy from some of my previous comics. Panel 2: He puts his hand down and closes his eyes, continuing to say "women are too pure to ever objectify men." Panel 3: Closeup of a smaller, brown hand gently clasping a few fingers of his, as if to beckon him somewhere. Panel 4: We are now looking through Sanrio Guy's eyes as brown girl in a white t-shirt with a rectangular night sky treeline image, and black pants, is leading him towards a door labeled "GACHA GAMES" by the sign above. This is the Junji Ito girl from some of my previous comics. Within the door is complete and utter darkness.

I definitely feel like it's more in the game's favour if the difficulty wasn't so torqued up that the 'viability' threshold was so thin. Like SotN was a game where you could do weird challenges because the bar wasn't that high that it demanded it

Right so in Dark Souls 2 there's this coffin right at the start of the game that swaps your gender if you lie down in it, but it's surrounded by ogres that will attack at the slightest provocation and actively try to prevent you getting in the coffin.

Digital sketch and watercolor of Fiora wearing Lyre's armor from Pudding: Lyre Knight. She is a dark haired catgirl with purple eyes and a black bow on the right side of her head, metallic pauldrons and gauntlets, and a split top tabard. She's holding up a faded copy of Astlibra for the PC.

You should play Astlibra Revision, and also Pudding: Lyre Knight. Stream doodle of Fio dressed as Lyre for her stream @fiora-almater.neocities.org

Against 'Metroidbrania': a Landscape of Knowledge Games What are knowledge games? How do we relate them to each other? What sub-genres exist – and which ones might be implied?

I really do hate the term 'metroidbrania'. I think so do many of you. Let's nip it in the bud before it becomes something people are financially invested in.

I will stand by, this remains the funniest mistranslation in manga localization history

fellow hex maniacs unite

I had a friend tell me about it and even the gameplay sounded *terrible* since it was largely just about rolling for the longest iframes on a move and that sent me to the imaginary hellscape of

'guys you won't believe this new Ryu combo you only need to roll 4 copies of crouching medium kick'

listening to gaia's battle theme from the bad dissidia gacha and suddenly excruciatingly struck that the one place gaia and ultimecia exist at the same time is that terrible game which even from just a cursory explanation SOUNDS terrible

i found out later there's a literal Chemtrails demon in the series

divergentcoachkelly on Threads * 2h ADHD is knowing exactly what you need to do then watching yourself not do it like you're a scientist observing a very dumb experiment

10/10 take. No notes.

I feel fairly certain I'm going to just enjoy the modern AU costumes with how volatile Squenix gachas are

You don't need me to tell you this is yet more good money being burned after bad. But as someone who's worked with that QA team, I'll say they're unsung heroes who truly play a huge role in maintaining SE's reputation for high quality locs and to attempt to replace them with AI is deeply insulting.

SLIME PROBLEM ...HOW DO YOU IMPROVE (Dragon Quest slime)

there's just no way

To celebrate the Western Touhou fandom managing to get a fangame on console, we interviewed developer @potemki11.bsky.social and @adriangraber.com of @refint.games ! We learned quite a lot of stuff about the game and how the port came to be! Check it out!
