hmm. if you send an e-mail to mail@49bitcat.com we can look into it, but i can't guarantee anything

does the nileswan not ship to your country? i mean, other than its availability problems, but those are a matter of making enough batches mostly

FamiTracker for GBA...? You'd either use hUGETracker with a VGM player engine (for DMG style music), Apex (for .MOD chiptunes) or MaxMod (for .IT chiptunes), typically.

Why not turn the spite into productive energy and use it to finish your translation?

Besides, I often glance to discover new artists this way, if a song catches my attention. I am not too worried about Suno destroying this for me.

I like automatically recommended music, though. It's like listening to the radio, and I don't have the time to curate enough music to build a big enough manual list to cover an entire work and leisure day, every day...

13 out of 25 Itch games released between January and May 2026 which used GBDK also utilized AI assistance tools. 7 out of 74 in 2025. (Note that the majority of those used it for code generation.) I'm sorry.

a lot, yeah. i try to hand out ideas to others to try and lessen my own load, if they're interested

i'm five episodes in. give me time

wait sayolara soundtrack came out today? i'm saved

the two social media feeds on sale for the autumn 2026 season are "AI (complimentary)" and "AI (derogatory)". looking for "not AI"? unfortunately, that option was discontinued in mid-2026 due to low customer demand. we apologize for the inconvenience.

Nice! Don't hesitate to ask the community for advice if you need it!

Well, not just their own photos - some stock/CC photos are used as well. But I digress.

"Beztroskie podróże" - Polish Yurucamp preorder bonus for three of the volumes

The official *Polish* release did something like this, where the (three-person!!!) publishing company's team would go on trips following the manga's footsteps and take their own photos as a pre-order bonus!

So, the barrier to entry is much higher than, say, Famicom or Game Boy ROM hacking; and the higher the barrier to (human) entry, the more enticing use of LLMs becomes.

011

In the WonderSwan space specifically, though, I believe part of the problem is that the process of writing ROM patches/hooks is poorly documented, and the tooling is lacking as well - it is only recently that Mesen2 added a WonderSwan core, unlocking modern debugging functionality for doing so.

The existence of any fan translation at all will dampen the desire to do a better one, as most of the reward for translating a game in an unauthorized manner is clout - unlike formal channels, you're not going to get compensated for it. There's much less clout in being second to do a thing.

I think it's a disservice to the original work to not only translate it without permission in the first place, but do so in a particularly careless way. If nobody verified the translated text with the original Japanese, how can you know it's an accurate representation of the work?

as a local anime convention panelist, clickbait titles have become part of the meta game even in that context, when there's no reward but more people visiting your talk involved

Something that stood out studying for my book is that in the last 10 years we had visible pushes in academia for a more global interpretation & history of gaming... However, mainstream media & discourse went the exact opposite way - it's increasingly homogenous and worshiping an idealized past.

You can’t even comprehend how important Eien ni Hen’s work is to the fan translation community. Romancing SaGa, Fire Emblem, Sakura Wars, Tear Ring Saga, Glory of Heracles, Dragon Force II, Dark Half, Beyond Oasis, Psi-O-Blade, Arabian Nights, and so much more. What a loss. Rest in peace.

ever think about how passive smokers inhale even more toxic fumes than the active smoker. imagine if people who had to both smoke and inhale other people's smoke were the most burnt out, while the people at the top - who are merely smoking down - did not see any problems. that'd be awkward

Machine learning is neither good or evil | viznut

The answer, in his eyes, would be to initially chase what is harder to reduce to "content", and eventually outgrow the concept altogether. I wonder where that will take us. viznut.fi/texts-en/mac...

viznut.fi

I've been wanting to write this for a long time. Even before large generative machine-learning models became a valid subject of conversation among non-technical people.

Essentially, anything which has an obvious concept with obvious appeal is going to go through this, because those projects have become a pay-to-win affair.

As viznut predicted in his essay from two years ago, "content" is dying. And unfortunately, things which are conceptually trivial ("popular product X, but in English"; "popular product X, but on a PC") are reducible, for most people, to "content" which they consume on blogs and YouTube channels.

Nothing about ZZT is relevant or all that useful in 2026. It's just a hobby, so, what matters, the only thing that matters, is that it gives you joy. Godspeed.
