I'd like to formally apologize to Ace Attorney for thinking it was unrealistic that people would have giant freakouts in the middle of court.

Read this if you're wondering how Code of Conduct teams go wrong. It's hard, and not a job/team to be taken lightly. This is an A+ explanation everyone should read and boost.

The VTuber community has been a lot better at seeing through Luna's lies and abuse (aside from a few people she has in her pocket)... and that's saying something!

I'll be back streaming soon. And I'll still be working on VTuber tech on Linux, just without any expectation to engage with FDo.

I feel... free.

After half a year with some hope for this community, thinking maybe it was just one or two people, after seeing this mess (and others unrelated to this too!), I can finally give up. The Linux graphics/FDo community is a hot mess, and it's not my job to fix it.

さようなら

the fact that i am at risk of seeing asmongold's opinion at any time of day on the internet is a human rights violation

There are obviously far weightier reasons not to read the NYT anymore but a reporter trotting out a twist on the eternally embarrassing "videogames have come a long way since Pac-Man" chestnut is such crystalline proof that writing for the prestige paper doesn't actually mean you know jack shit

When I played Mewgenics for this preview, Edmund McMillen loaded up a save file created by @tomrmarks.bsky.social from when he previewed the game, and I got Tom's cats killed. Sorry Tom. www.pcgamer.com/games/roguel...

ROM returns: Striking gold in El Dorado Also this issue: a plus-sized portion of patch notes and an utterly unkown PS2 horror game, back online.

It's been hard to get a newsletter out for the past month with a ton of work and life happening but at last a new issue! Are you interested in a translation of a 7-part Dreamcast RPG series from Capcom? What about an online multiplayer survival horror game for the PS2 you've never heard of? Huzzah:

It is okay to post a little screenshot of your old games, that info is harmless. You ain't gonna get h4x0red for it.

Also use Steam Guard anyway

How the makers of CrankBoy finally cracked 60 fps Game Boy emulation on the Playdate Plus: A fantastic anime series' DS tie-in gets an English translation.

The Playdate can finally emulate the Game Boy!! Here's how a duo harnessed the system's underpowered hardware to make a kickass emulator

GitHub - SONICMAN69/Bebop-PS2-English: A full (fanmade) English translation for Cowboy Bebop - Tsuioku no Serenade for the PlayStation 2 A full (fanmade) English translation for Cowboy Bebop - Tsuioku no Serenade for the PlayStation 2 - SONICMAN69/Bebop-PS2-English

Like Cowboy Bebop? Did you know there was a PS2 game only released in Japan? Did you know I released a full English translation of it that you can play now? Check it out here: github.com/SONICMAN69/B...

William Pellen, designer and co-director of Team Cherry: Sometimes as we were making the game and other similar games were coming up, indie games, you'd hear people say 'oh my god, another Metroidvania game, why do they keep cranking these out?' And you think, like, 'All it means is a game set in a large, interconnected world.' We pretty much shied away completely from describing the game ourselves, in marketing and stuff, as a Metroidvania. Gibson: There's a tangential element to that, which is, do you let a genre dictate decisions in your own game? Do you make a conscious decision that you're making something that is a Metroidvania, and build off the conventions of that? I don't think we ever did anything like that. We just said we're going to make an adventure in this big world, and let's build an interesting world with lots of things to discover and see, and hopefully keep people engaged throughout.

Something I think Hollow Knight's designers were very savvy in avoiding—and that *way* too many games do willingly—is pigeonholing themselves to a genre term. Nothing wrong with making a metroidvania or a roguelike, but proclaiming it as such can be limiting creatively or in terms of player fantasy.

With the AJC dropping its print edition, I feel compelled to share one of the greatest moments in print design history

Crossword lovers in mourning as the New York Times commits its latest unspeakable act: Paywalling the Mini puzzle The popular daily puzzle is now seemingly an exclusive for NYT Games subscribers.

Thought it was so funny (derogatory) that the NYT up and put the Mini crossword behind its paywall that I had to blog it @defector.com style.

Without emudev Nemesis's contributions to the Domesday Duplicator project, it also wouldn't be possible to preserve these games, period, with all the necessary data intact.

And LaserDiscs are already rotting; even though this was already a 16 year marathon, a few more years might've been too late.

"This is the first:" The 16 year odyssey of "time, money, wrong turns and frustration" it took to finally emulate the Pioneer LaserActive In April 2009, a Sega fan decided to look into emulating the Mega LD, a quirky and little-known hybrid of Genesis and LaserDisc. This week he finished the job.

Until this week, it's been impossible to play the games of the 1993 Pioneer LaserActive without one of the vanishingly rare, disintegrating consoles.

Here's the story of the guy who's been trying to fix that for years -- and all the hardware and software he had to build to make it possible.
