Octopath 0 might be my most anticipated game right now. Absolutely adored the first two.

a tweet from 2020: (james bond being beaten up by a goon) GOON: bond you will maintain continuity BOND: Never GOON: the year is 2020 and you're roughly forty five, you were born around 1975 BOND: *spits out blood* i was a sea captain in world war two and i've been to space GOON: you son of a bitch

My last word on the matter

Oh man that looks awesome!

Meet me at the resident evil gloryhole

Based.

Hearing from more people after this went out.

"We're all pissed. This was a lot of unnecessary stress on people and their families for nothing. And if I win the lottery tonight I absolutely will spend millions to hire people to follow these 8 Dems around for a year and make their lives miserable."

sort of incredible to read a review that doesn't just made a vague nod at AI being bad, but actively reckons with the ways in which falling obsessively to AI usage actively obliterates the artistic intent and integrity of the work you've made.

WaPo Across 23 angry minutes laced with identity politics and seething with resentment, Mamdani abandoned his cool disposition and made clear that his view of politics isn't about unity. It is about identifying class enemies - from landlords who take advantage of tenants to 'the bosses' who exploit workers - and the crushing them.

Hahaha. The former newspaper transformed to a propaganda tool for its billionaire owner is afraid of a little class war speech. 😂

God, I'm so tired.

Shout out to the spineless fucks out there trying their hardest to double my health insurance costs.

This vote has not happened yet. Call your Senators, especially your Democratic Senators, and tell them that a deal without protection NOW for health insurance tax credits is unacceptable.

I'll be the fun police.

Don't play Arc Raiders. Do better. Play a game with real voice acting.

Not nearly booby enough, cowards.

I miss writing. Thinking I might blog about Fantasian or something to scratch the itch.

Okay but you haven't lived until you've seen Jigsaw melt a healthcare CEO with acid.

meme of a man burying his face in ala mhigo’s flag from ffxiv text: “sometimes tha side chick ain’t even a chick it’s the gorgeous and proud nation of ALA MHIGO”

it’s this kind of day apparently

The Memories in Fantasian aren't quite on the level of the Dream segments from Lost Odyssey, but I dig them. The presentation and art direction is doing a lot of heavy lifting in this game.

“0% woke shit”

a black man with a physical disability leads an environmental terrorist cell trying to save the planet from mega-billionaires and you play as a cross dressing twink femdomed by two different women ending and the final boss against the gayest angel of all time

Because SE's QA people are probably not in a position to defend themselves and their jobs in public, I want to spell out some of what it is they specifically do for us localizers, because nothing I've written here is rhetorical. SE QA acts as a final check on our work after translation and editing.

somebody give the ludens fan a swirly from me

"Are you now, or have you ever been, a member of the communist party?"

If you are in the business of making stories, quality writing is non-negotiable. Good localization is non-negotiable.

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.

Super cool to see Square Enix lay off a bunch of people on the same day that they announce their intention to use AI for QA testing. Cool cool cool. 🤢

Oh, that bodes well.

I dig it.

Oh, gag me. 🤢

He gets a sword?? 😍
