The Restaurant of Many Orders A tale of false promises from Japanese poet and fabulist Kenji Miyazawa, from his forthcoming short story collection, out with NYRB.

please enjoy!

this makes the huge quoting of cs lewis especially mindboggling when Miyazawa's Restaurant of Many Orders is Wildcat Cafe beat-for-beat. Guy has written a lot about quotable things about creativity and the artistic process, but maybe this mage isn't very well read afterall

it's kind of a big deal! gaia had some then-unforeseen star power behind it and oohara had already won several SF awards by the time she was tapped to contribute to the scenario

thank you/my condolences for your service

i know we've been over this bad boy for the past week but
out of my own morbid curiosity (and i suspect i know the answer):
-does miyazawai kenji get touched on in the BOF2 section?
-are hagio moto and oohara mariko acknowledged in illusion of gaia?

Toad hides under his covers and Frog hides in the closet. From "Dragons and Giants" In *Frog and Toad Together*

Toad stayed in the bed, and Frog stayed in the closet.

They stayed there for a long time, just feeling very brave together.

Back in 2018 I wrote an article about "political references added to video game translations"

Then I did it again, a few weeks ago in 2025, so here is PART 2!

Illustration: a portrait of Rieko Kodama with some of the games she has worked on. The dominant colors are yellow, purple and red. Counterclockwise from top left: Rieko Kodama, Alis and Lutz from Phantasy Star, Sonic in a maze, Alex Kidd and his motorbike next to Flicky on a waterfront pier, Joe Musashi and his dog near the Statue of Liberty facing a skyline, the three playable characters from Golden Axe seen from behind on the edge of a cliff, and one of the flying ships from Skies of Arcadia.

I wrote a long article about Rieko Kodama, her career at Sega, the evolution of her company, the games she worked on (including some canceled games and/or games for which she is not credited), the status of women and working conditions in the video game industry, etc.

What is The Pixels? Genuine Game Critiques without Clickbait or Controversy You found a novelty. This is a video game website that actually writes about the games themselves. I know, right?

uh he has a youtube nobody watches and a website full of dogwhistles

And available for everyone is this article on The Dark Spire!

"...it really understands that Wizardry is more than a dungeon crawling icon; it’s [...] worthy of being played for its own sake, fame and age deemed irrelevant. "

Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter – Unsophisticated Fight Once-in-a-lifetime dream remake (dreamake!) Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter should have been my perfect video game. It wasn't. Here I hope to process that disappointment and let it go. I've gone on record ad nauseam that The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky was the video game that inspired me to tread my career path. Or maybe it's more accurate to call it the final push over a threshold I'd been approaching all my life.

Today on Astral City Mini, my hopes for a dream remake of Trails in the Sky are scattered to the winds. How and why did its new localization falter? I’ll tell you.

With just a few hours left on the Steam Autumn Sale, I did one last roundup of indie gems to get cheap before closing time - everything here 50% or less.

Forgive any typos. Brain running on less sleep than usual!

i really didn't like FFX at the time but playing the remaster about a decade ago (jesus) gave me a newfound appreciation for its simplicity.

X-2 is just too fast for me, even on the slowest setting. I want to like it but I can't parse the battles!

Sorry I didn't have any Steam sale recommendations, but just before it ends, this ASTRO PORT bundle should be worth a look for shmup and mech fans. Big fan of Gigantic Army myself!

people will say anything on here

I believe in you

Journey through FF

-FFL (SaGa) when I was 4, the first RPG i owned. blundered through it to get as far as the end of the world of water, which is pretty good for a baby

1993 - seeing 4 at a friend's house, blew my mind
1994 - 6, obsessed with it
1997 - 7, of course
1999 - 8: The Best One
