The game is set in Valeria and follows Denam, part of a Walstanian resistance group, and his allies as they get drawn into intrigue and war, with multiple story routes. It received a remake on PSP in 2010 (2011 in the west), which itself was remastered for PC, PS4, PS5, and Switch in 2022.

@jparish.bsky.social Nothing could do this book justice short of holding it. An amazing effort, hope to get your signature in all three volumes some day.

#FinalFantasy VIII was out 26 years ago (in 1999) on PS1! 🌙 A card game with an RPG attached – FF8 also featured a highly customizable battle system, an atmospheric OST, and a gorgeous blend of natural and urban environments.

#Talesof Arise was out 4 years ago (2021)!🌙 With a 5 year gap between Tales games last time, hopefully a new NEW game soon...With a dramatic story, and easily some of the best visuals in the series– the game was a blast (till the final dungeon).

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

Steven Kent’s Ultimate History Of Video Games was the first book most of us read on the topic, as for a long time it was the most comprehensive and most widely available. But it was also filled with errors, which Ethan has attempted to catalog in the link below. Think of it as the Annotated Kent.

As an aside, Nintendo also explored raising prices on Switch 2 when tariffs were temporarily at 10% for Vietnam. Now they're at 20%.

This is definitely impacting margins for them. While they may not be willing to raise prices right now, I can see them reconsidering next year.

MIT report: 95% of generative AI pilots at companies are failing There’s a stark difference in success rates between companies that purchase AI tools from vendors and those that build them internally.

This is the part where they're going to pretend every single one of us who were correct about "AI" for the past few years actually wasn't, because that would mean the media, tech executives and most of Wall Street were wrong.

I HATE THIS POLLUTION TECHNOLOGY I CANT JUST FUCKING GET EXCITED ABOUT ART ANYMORE LIKE A NORMAL HUMAN, FUCKING THIEVES.

Sekiro anime key art.

We are actively developing technology with the goal of maximizing the value created per second by all those involved in anime production. We challenge the conventional wisdom of existing methods, collaborate with partner companies with high technical capabilities, and utilize the latest technologies such as AI to evolve production processes and expressions, thereby bringing about digital disruption in the anime industry.

I hadn't heard of Qzilla, the production company behind Crunchyroll's Sekiro anime. The trailer okay, but something felt kind of off. Looked them up on MAL and they didn't seem to have much motion in terms of the thirteen things its produced. Checked the company website and lo and behold.

30 FPS consistent is -actually worse- than the PS3 version. In the original release, it was 30 FPS Field and 60 FPS battle.

It's a good day for classic Tales fans! Today we have a cheat made by Meebo (PSX, FVE, and Destiny PSX) and Ethonal (GBA) to remove spell pausing from the game. Here are some examples.
