Reminded of One for PS1, perhaps a contender for the single hardest game to search for online. I'm sure it seemed like such a good idea back in 1997.

I love when games inexplicably wind up with different names in every region. It still bums me out that OZ: Over Zenith never got an American release with a fourth different name to further fuck things up. They had the chance to do something great and they fumbled.
OZ: Over ZenithThe PAL version, called The Sword of EtheriaThe Korean version, called Chains of Power

I feel like as the years pass, we're forgetting who the true meme king of BlueSky is. And he doesn't like to be forgotten.
An edited screenshot of the battle with Exdeath in Final Fantasy V. The Exdeath tree trunk is now Alf, labelled Neon Genesis Alf. The party characters are Brian Quest, Moon Child, The Ooze, and Nanao. Alf's dialogue reads "I am Alfa and Omega... The beginning and the end... The tip and the shaft..."

Tinky Winky from the Teletubbies looking despondent while clutching his red bag / purse. The scene is darkened. A Castlevania 2 text box reads "What a horrible night to have a purse".

Also, don't @ me if you're not calling this bad boy Tales of Eternia in the year of our lord 2026. There's a 24 year old game called Tales of Destiny 2 that's an actual sequel to Tales of Destiny, lads. Having one game called Tales of Destiny II and one called Tales of Destiny 2 is actual savagery.
The US release of Tales of Eternia for the PS1. The logo is edited to read Tales of Destiny II, as per the game's original English title.

All I'll say re: localised titles versus original titles is that it'll be a cold day in hell before I accept "Lightening Force", "Wings of Wor", "Brahma Force", or "Magic Pengel".

I have so much second hand nostalgia for this game after a friend streamed it and I rearranged / loosely reinterpreted some of the tunes. I feel like I need to sit down and commit to finishing it at some point, just for the sake of completeness.

This slightly ugly rabbit was bought for me by my dad the day I was born, and has managed to stay with me all the way into adulthood. I got it into my head recently that she should have transitioned with me at some point, and got her a nice dress. It suits her so well, and I am irrationally pleased.
A very old, slightly ugly, and very well-loved plush rabbit. She is now wearing a red frilly dress with a big ribbon on the front.

As a slime, I should weight in on the RPG discourse and let you know that by rejecting random encounters, you're putting so many slimes, drackeys, and other low level monsters out of a job.

I'm regularly praised at work by folk I deal with for how kind and caring I apparently sound in emails. But I'm writing the exact same way I've always written, which has never been singled out for praise in any job I've had before. I really think AI has warped people's expectations in a big way.

Two panel comic. Panel 1: a bat hangs upside-down from a telephone line at sunset. The bat is in front of a billboard advertising the Florida Mega Jackpot, which is valued at $5,318,008 - represented with a digital ticker. Panel 2: the POV flips to the bat’s upside-down perspective, which makes the digital numbers look like they spell “BOOBIES”. The bat appears delighted.

Hey, everyone! The *Thunder Force* series is a really popular title among shooting game fans in Japan. But I get the feeling there are even more die-hard fans outside of Japan. Yamaoh played the drums with all his heart. I want everyone to shout out their love for Thunder Force V
