today's hardware designers could never conceive of what Kazuo Kawasaki was doing in 1996

✨ Our visual novel in 4 screenshots! ✨ The Phantom of the Black Rose Revue is a romance/horror/drama game inspired by The Phantom of the Opera and Rose of Versailles 🌹 🖤 Play the demo: yamino.itch.io/black-rose-r...

Screenshot from our game, made in a shojo art style. Chihiro, a young woman with long curly hair is looking vulnerable, eyes closed. She's thinking "Everything you've done for these past few years has led you to this moment."

Chihiro is talking with another a woman with a black suit and short black hair. They're looking into each other's eyes. Chihiro is thinking: "Hm, what do I feel comfortable telling her?). The scene is framed with sparkles and roses.

Chihiro is in the Revue's backstage, in front of mirrors, dressings, drama costumes (including the outfit of Sailor Moon) and a wig of Sailor Moon's hairstyle. The player, as Chihiro, has three choices: look in the mirror, check her station, check the drawer.

Two characters are in a corridor, backstage: a tall man with dark short hair and technical tools, and a woman with long black hair and bangs, named Tomiko. She looks angry and very upset, and is saying: "What did you say?"

Extra, extra! Have you ever wanted to know exactly what the actresses of the Black Rose Revue thought of Chihiro? Soon you can! Each character will let you know exactly how they feel in all new relationship portraits! Will your rose bloom beautifully in love?! Or wilt with hatred?!

Five different portraits of Tomiko from Phantom of the Black Rose Revue to illustrate her feelings about Chihiro. From left to right: Hate, Neutral, Like, Adore, and Love.

I thought this was just beautiful. Kurt Vonnegut takes a walk to mail a letter:

She calls out, “Where are you going?” And I say, “I am going out to get an envelope.” And she says, “Well, you’re not a poor man. Why don’t you buy a thousand envelopes? They’ll deliver them, and you can put them in a closet.” And I say, “Hush.”

I go next to the postal convenience center down the block at the corner of 47th Street and Second Avenue. The woman behind the counter says, “Thirty-nine cents for a stamp.” I say, “I only brought thirty-seven. When did that change?” She looked at me a long time. “Thirty-seven isn’t enough.” “Well that oughta be enough for one envelope,” I said. The line was getting longer.

The lady moved her hand into her coat. I knew this routine. I backflipped behind the man behind me in line, wrapping my elbow around his throat as I landed. By the time the stamp seller had unloaded her clip, I had full cover. The gentleman’s body dropped to the floor, six holes smoking. The package he was carrying fell to the floor with a heavy clunk. Whatever was in there, it would do.

I rolled my foot over the cardboard and did a “flick up” as they call it in soccer. I bounced the package once or twice on the back of my foot as the mail lady reloaded, then I launched it high and spun 360 to deliver my patented “Rising Phoenix kick”. The package caught fire as it shattered through the protective plexiglass window and struck the woman’s head with all the force and hatred I had learned to channel in my grueling tutelage under five fallen Wudang masters in my youth. The lady’s body exploded off of her bones, leaving just a blackened skeleton spinning in her office chair. “So it goes,” I said, but no one laughed. I guess they weren’t big readers.

And I go home. And I have had one hell of a good time.

We are dancing animals. How beautiful it is to get up and go out and do something. We are here on Earth to fart around. Don’t let anybody tell you any different.

my game design rule of thumb after releasing Angeline Era and 99.5% done with danchi days is "if it's filler don't make it". it lets you make sure each thing you add has some level of purpose and fits the game's worldview. It also means that much less of the design process is easy or copypasteable

a critical weakness in far too many left-wing spaces is the lack of any real strategy for dealing with people who weaponize social justice language to lambast and tear down others while framing even the mildest - let alone well-deserved - pushback against them as bigoted abuse.

"They're not misunderstanding the film; they're co-opting a message"

Screencap from the interview linked in the quoted post

Marlow Stern (the interviewer): You have one of the most renowned replies in Twitter history. Elon Musk tweeted out, “Take the red pill,” then Ivanka Trump enthusiastically wrote, “Taken!” to him, and then you replied, “Fuck both of you.” I’m curious how you feel about the co-opting of “The Matrix” by those on the right who don’t really seem to understand its messaging.

Lilly Wachowski: I mean, I can’t sit in a room and explain the movie to every single person who watches it. Even if I did sit in a room with Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump — yikes — it doesn’t matter. They’re not misunderstanding the film; they’re co-opting a message. And that’s what fascists do: They co-opt the messages of progressives and use it to their benefit to confuse and obfuscate what is going on and the intention of their ideology. They do it with everything. They do it with Martin Luther King Jr. Look at how they’ve changed the idea of what antisemitism is.
