Late update: footage from the event is out, and Horii himself never actually says anything about a remake of Chrono Trigger (like at allβ€”it was all the interpreter). Sorry to burst everyone's bubble. Link: www.twitch.tv/videos/24482...

FFXIV - Dawntrail Battle Theme (Stream Highlight)
YouTube video by JonathanOng FFXIV - Dawntrail Battle Theme (Stream Highlight)

Just wanted to share this FFXIV cover I requested, performed by @jonathanong.bsky.social , of the Dawntrail battle theme. The result was fantastic, starting with only a piano loop and then becoming a major jam session. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PLC...

the one idea i've found funny since i was probably five years old, and continue to find exquisitely funny, is the idea of someone from england stepping out of a boat onto the shore of north america and going "damn... this looks like Hampshire... this is, like... the new hampshire"

This place is nice because it isn’t like the other place. If you start bringing that other place energy in here, I’m gonna filter your posts. No hard feelings. This just isn’t the place, on purpose.

Tips for moving from Xitter to Bluesky
Before you start following people, fill out your profile! Bio, PFP, banner, and post at least 5 to 10 things. Just reuse your top 10 banger tweetsβ€”recycling is encouraged! This way, when people see you followed them and they check your profile, they’ll know what you are about and might follow back.
Turn off NSFW filters in Moderation > Content Filtering 
Find your friends using a tool like skeet.labnotes.org  or Sky Follower Bridge. Not perfect, but they’ll find the majority of the people you were following.
Turn on β€œshow posts from my feeds” in Settings > Home Feed Preferences. This will add random posts from them to your main feed, but tweaked to your liking, no ads and BS. I recommend the Catch Up feed (kinda like a β€œbest of”).
Tweak Reply Filters to something that works for you, also at Settings > Home Feed Preferences. This shows replies from people you follow to anyone else on your main feed... (ALT text too long, continues in comments)

Twitter is extremely creepy these days because 90% of the responses are bots and it’s not exactly clear why. Usually it’s not even political, it’s not selling anything, it’s just bots pretending to be people. The vibe is like boarding a city bus and realizing none of the passengers have faces

Okay, brass tacks. My eleven years at TouchArcade are coming to an end soon, and that leaves me with insufficient income to live. I am looking for a new job, either remote or in the Tokyo area.

My experience and/or relevant skills:

- 25+ years as a professional games journalist, including time at IGN, UGO, Ziff Davis, and TouchArcade. For almost half of that I have served in a senior position where I was helping coordinate schedules and train/direct junior staff among other responsibilities.

- 16 years teaching English to all ages. If there’s a grammar question out there, I have answered it at least once.

- Some video/audio editing experience.

- Around 2 years consulting work for various game companies. Things like helping them determine market viability of potential products, suggestions for improving said products, and so on.

- 5 years of off and on work assisting with things like store descriptions, instruction manuals, UI descriptions, and other miscellanies.
