the opening to the Steamed Hams bit, but Manhattan Cafe is Chalmers & Agnes Tachyon is Skinner.

"Well Agnes, I made it. *Despite* your directions."

Sometimes an anime clip from a 25-year-old fansub script pops up in my feed and I get to have the moment of wondering if I'm completely misinterpreting that line or if THEY did. And then settling on blaming them

The Gamer who loves shiny toys is always tempted by the idea of upgrades, but fortunately for my wallet, there is only really one upgrade route available for a Ryzen 5 5600X and it is *extremely* out-of-print, and I'm on Linux and think raytracing is fake so my 7800XT is overkill anyway

digital painting of clown the fonewearl and elenor the racaseal from phantasy star online. they are sitting on a small ledge looking at the scenery of a forest at twilight with purple skies and golden foliage around them.

"Are you taking good care of your Mag?

You must remember to give it lots of love!

OK?"

japanese adventure games, or JAVs as theyre often called

Well, that, and the zoning robot girl with the I-no dash

The most excitement I've felt for Tokon since the first reveal was seeing folks point out that in the latest footage, they *might* have removed the awful generic air-to-air/combo extension assists so team building is actually a factor in a tag-team fighting game

Much like how older millennials didn’t have YA novels so they had to jump from Babysitter’s Club to Stephen King’s It. Older Millennials also didn’t have access to Shounen, so 15 year old you sat on the floor of the manga section at the Boarders reading Blade of the Immortal and Crying Freeman

A Eurogamer article about the Unity CEO trying to hype up investors by promising that advancements in AI tooling will kill off all of Unity's developer customers who aren't giants, followed by: "Up next: If you've always wanted Forever Young in Umamusume: Pretty Derby, you won't have to wait furlong"

Scrolling through a reputable videogames web site and the next auto-loaded news post is this. The world has changed

These detectors are rubbish, they're LLMs too and they're trying to sell the poison and the cure.

It said my book was 70% AI-generated.

It was published in 2016.

It just struck me that newspaper comic strips were sort of proto-posting: you come up with a joke every single day and eventually you either mellow out or become completely insane

With the RAM shortages and financial risks, I think developers should target lower spec, inexpensive systems. This is something that game companies in developing markets have had to deal with for decades and people should learn from them.

What I'm saying is 2027 will be the year of the famiclone.

who up morging their continvouclous

Loudness 12” single containing Gotta Fight and Odin

All this talk about Odin has inspired me to post this sacred object

I guess every single developer needs to learn this lesson the hard way, huh

Too lazy to figure out how to install the Firmware Upgrades the mini PC file server is asking for but given that the UEFI Signature Database update it is offering is signed by "DO NOT TRUST - AMI Test PK" I see no reason to rush

"Finding a cool stick? That's Digging a Hole! Breaking down in the arms of a beautiful woman? Bleeding Out in the Snow! Despite taking place on a battlefield, dying in the trenches is also Bleeding Out in the Snow."

You wouldn’t translate a car’s ハンドル as “handle”.
You wouldn’t translate a ハイタッチ as “high touch”.
So why would you translate 「」 as “”?

True facts: 99% of the time, you shouldn’t, and here’s why.
Translation theory thread!🧵👇

the conversation's been had, the trials have been run, the project is over: fighting games are for a particular brand of pervert. they are not to be saved by some mythical silver bullet propelling them into the hearts and minds of the average "consumer" at the behest of the capitalists in our heads

okay I did it i annotated cipher the video in its entirety. i'm tired. don't ask me for shit

I didn’t need that level’s worth of souls, anyway

Moments after stepping through the fog door, I remembered why I always cleared the forest and Sif before New Londo Ruins despite how easy the area is if you already know about ghosts

Another thing I was thinking about playing Dark Souls yesterday was, man, this game still looks great. Sure, it has a lot of "technical issues" and doesn't have the coolest visual effects or whatever, but a lot of these areas are gorgeous or gross or both. And it's a rock-solid 60 FPS on the Deck

Interested to see what the new .hack game is like, because it's been 25 years and now *everyone is online, all the time*. So everything about the worldview those games started from is totally out the window. What will they do instead?

If Yuina is on screen, something deranged is about to happen. That's the law of HBR

And coming right off the way faster-paced Code Vein games, it's refreshing to be able to fight enemies without always using lock-on, and to actually be able to whiff punish enemies. It's like, oh yeah, the reason I kept trying to do this in CV was because *it works* in Dark Souls

Playing Dark Souls again for the first time in years and despite my best efforts I immediately fall back into my standard approach by muscle memory. Build for the Uchigatana, also get the Gravelord Sword because why not, forget where the hell the Depths are because Master Key, etc.
