I just saw the new about the EU Kids act. I would appreciate it if parents could start parenting again, instead of pushing their problems and responsibilities onto governments.

I know Dante Basco isn't in #SevenHavens season 1, but can we bring him back for season 2. He played Zuko's grandson Iroh II in TLoK, we need him to keep the trend going by playing another descendant.

A Certain Item of Dark Side, Seven Havens, Steam Frame, Ocarina of Time, Doomsday, Stranger Than Heaven, Rascal Does Not Dream of a Dear Friend. The end of 2026 is somehow the best 3 months in a very long time, and I can't find a job to pay for any of it 😩.

Started playing #InfiniteSpace on the DS again. Shout out to whoever's updating the wiki. Went from being almost completely barren to having details so obscure they're only found in the Japanese art book in a matter of months.

Here's my predictions for any #OcarinaOfTime remake changes, on a design level: - No fixed camera angles in Castle Town. - More NPCs and sidequests in Castle Town. - Main questline basically unchanged. - Less barren Hyrule Field. - Dungeon layouts unchanged, but maybe some extra rooms / content. 1/

Huh, I haven't seen Maneater in years. Cool that it got a sequel, even if the colour palette gave me headaches.

I don't know why I'm on board Worms and Rainbow Six getting strategy spinoffs. I'm not a big fan of the genre, but the Mario + Rabbids series made me find an appeal in the genre being applied to other IPs.

I learned today that there's now a Korean fan translation of #Progenitor. That's seriously awesome, they've even managed to update the map icons which I can't figure out. #PC98

The movie-going experience sucks nowadays. I went to see the new Spiderman and it was good. But the first couple of minutes were muted, the guy next to me laughed during serious scenes, and someone at the other side of the room was shining a light on their phone constantly.

BNK (ボノコ) @bonoko.dev · 23/07/2026

The new Avatar series is out. It looks good, doesn't feel like Avatar but it might have been the same with Korra's first trailer as well, I don't remember. Either way I'm happy, just hope the Aang-stans are a little more reasonable this time around.

You know what we need? A tv show about fuel rats in the #EliteDangerous universe. Few space battles and background politics, but put the main focus on space truckers supplying fuel to ships that get stranded. I'd watch it.

BNK (ボノコ) @bonoko.dev · 19/06/2026

I'm away this weekend, but I've stumbled upon another PC-98 game I'd like to look into localising next; Nostalgia 1907. What caught my attention was this system where you select a response then select how you emote it, and that sends you down different dialogue routes. In 1991!

I keep coming back to this idea every couple of months and I have no idea how to go about it primarily because I can't do graphics. The most I can do is a computer interface and abstract representations of the pieces but that feels lacking without at least some NPC portraits.

Alright, Direct time. I don't expect Zelda news, and if an OoT remake does get announced I'm anticipating it as a port of the 3DS remaster if anything.

Alright, Xbox showcase. Please be full of stuff I don't want cause I can't afford to buy new games just yet.

Summer Games Fest has begun...fuck Geoff Keighley, but looking forward to seeing what's coming out (and the insane saltiness of chat because their franchise isn't getting a 20th entry).

I wish I was one of those people who could talk easily about the stuff I was working on. I remember seeing a YouTube video saying just documenting your game is a good way to foster an audience ahead of release. But alas tweets and posts it is.

Something I'd still like to get at some point is the Apollo 47 TTRPG by Tim Hutchings (@ handle unknown). Two pages with rules and another 2000 with NASA technical documents from the last 60 years of spaceflight. It's a space nerd's dream.

Ok, mods uploaded. Tomorrow I get back to game dev, finally 😩.

Finally, all of the remaining text has been translated (to the best of my ability without the context in which they're used). The next update I do, whenever that may be, will be to replace the Japanese map labels. #Progenitor #PC98 romhack.ing/database/con...

Ok, a new mod finished and two older mods ready to be updated. I get back to game dev on Monday, but after Amiya's stream last night I decided to take another look at the untranslated text from Progenitor to see if I can get it finished. 1/

A reminder that AI detection tools suck. The first code was written before LLMs even existed, yet it claims it's almost certainly AI. The second code is the defacto "hello world" that every programmer learns when starting a new language.

So 2 years of jobhunting sucks and I need something to do, so I've started on a new game project that I want to sell to try at the end of development. 🧵

I'm beginning to hate that I need to make my way of speaking worse in comments and posts because people keep accusing me of using ChatGPT to talk. No, I just like speaking properly and using punctuation. I'm not a damn clanker.

We really are getting to a point where half the internet is just non-existent for UK users because the #OnlineSafetyAct is so vague in what is and isn't appropriate for children.

The second Metal Gear collection has less than I was expecting. But it including Ghost Babel is a welcome surprise...even if they could have included the other non-KP games too.

Ha, my Fallout prediction was right. Knew there was a weird reason they released the finale a day early.

Neat, new Xanadu game. I...never finished the Vita game, the combat was too floaty. Though this one might be interesting since it's mostly a platformer.

Huh, new Paranormasight. I just bought the first one yesterday, I'm enjoying it so far.

Watching the Xbox showcase. Something irks me about that one person translating "nanakorobi yaoki" as "never give up" instead of "fall down seven times, get up eight" during a segment where she explained the significance of 7 and 8 in the game 😅.

Just a reminder that horror projects will usually be the first thing people do with newly public domain properties. They won't necessarily be good, but the reason for it is because it's people's middle finger to the companies that have held them hostage under a friendly image all this time. 1/

I know they're minimum wage employees, but if fast food chains are gonna keep forgetting the dip I paid for then they better start offering it for free instead of rippinf me off. This is now the 4th time at a 3rd location.

Also thank you to everyone who's played my English translation patch Progenitor so far. I wasn't expecting it to get this much traction, but I'm glad people are (hopefully) enjoying it. I'm working on a minor update and a translation for the official manual, should be out soon. #Progenitor #PC98

Right on. A full English translation patch for Koei's Progenitor, a 1994 visual novel/RPG/strategy game for the PC98 that plays a little like Uncharted Waters....IN SPAAAAAAAACE.
