I see "indie vs AAA sustainability" discourse is back so it's time for me to link this again auratriolo.com/blog/2025/01...

Nanchang, Jiangxi have innovated the smartest use of tax dollars I have ever seen. Now THIS is job creation

I remember Resonance of Fate’s negative reception being one of those key moments where I realized just how out of sync I was with most people’s tastes.

How can you look at this and not think it’s the coolest shit you’ve ever seen??

"what kind of technology do leftists even like" i love hearing about new types of weird concrete the materials scientists are cooking up

So basically Discord was feeding the Trump administration identity information

absolutely no coming back from this, it's an absolute trust thermocline inversion, Discord is sunk

the ushiromiyas if they stayed in their lane stayed true to the hustle and committed to the grind

Impactor in robot and tank form.

While it's good to see they're finally made a toy of Impactor I'm shocked how little it respects the canon. Here, he transforms into a tank. Everyone knows Impactor transforms into a corpse.

And many more stuff you can do!

Colorblind caveman when the tribe tells him about nature:

Just saw an ad that started out "your kids won't remember their best day of screen time" and while I of course broadly agree with the sentiment that you should do activities with your children, don't tell me i don't remember beating zelda a link to the past

Reposts: This is why I make such a big deal about having the original box/manual, etc. (as much as poss) for the games I write about. I can't tell you how many "secrets" are actually explained in full in the manual, or how often an "obtuse" game comes with a full map/reference sheet/data book/chart.

One of the main reasons Tokimeki Memorial can feel obtuse to people playing it now in 2026 when it didn't to Japanese players in 1994 is you're not playing with the manual and info cards, which explicitly spell out the game's entire calendar and all major events so you can plan runs in advance.

There's like one guy in there who sees the opportunity of an omnipotent wish granting death game and wants to become a god and that's Seven. Infernus wants to wish for his bar to not go out of business. Bebop wants healthcare for his mom. Rem wants a taxi home.

dio's "oh you're approaching me" scene but its blacked out so he says "oh? you're a chime?" and jotaro's response is blacked out to only read "ting" and a chime is edited over his face

confession. every time i see people talk about Chime (the bank/money/whatever app) i can only think of one of the funniest jojo memes of all time (to me)

Happy Ash Wednesday 😌

I got a great question on my Ramadan thread: do Muslims also need to avoid consumption by proxy in videogames? Does consuming in-game food or drink break the fast? Basically: does your character have to go fast?

The answer is no, unless you happen to be playing Sonic the Hedgehog.

An obscure detail in early Pokemon games:

In the Pewter City Pokemart in Gen 1, there is an NPC complaining that he was ripped off by a Magikarp salesman. But if you visit the same building in Gen 2, you can find the same person bragging about a Gyarados he's trained.
