I can’t imagine most of us seriously considered VR a wholesale replacement. But for what it was, it provided another avenue for immersive and novel indie experiences alongside a conservative/stagnant AAA space that increasingly hasn’t.

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.

Please no. It’s hard enough to watch the Hawks from the UK with all the primetime games as is. I need everyone to go back to sleeping on them so I can get more sleep on weeknights

I love that Derby County keeps the ram in the corner but I’m really hoping their next kit features Lara Kroft. Is crowdfunded sponsorship a thing?

Seems this also plays into some folks’ obsession with being perceived as entirely “self made” (by others and, more pathetically, themselves). It’s never their team or public services or even genAI that helped give them a leg up. That they have to share credit for anything gnaws at them relentlessly.

I’d urge indifference. Sony is simply a company trying to sell entertainment stuff and none of its bad decisions will endanger anyone’s wellbeing, tbf. It doesn’t owe us anything but we also don’t owe it our money. PS is just a brand and people don’t even need to be angry to stop supporting it.

I’m so sick of these day or week-long boycotts, especially when it involves goods that can simply be bought later. If it really means that much, cancel your PS Plus and stop playing the PS5 indefinitely. You still have a whole 3DO and Dreamcast backlog to play through.

Nothing against Halo (it’s one of my favorite games ever) but it feels there’s been a sea change souring on remakes where better fidelity is the only innovation. Plus the context: Microsoft bungled Tango, Arkane Austin, Compulsion, Double Fine, et al just to reregurgitate a game we already liked?

Vibe coded shit has become such a huge problem lately and has polluted so many areas related to FPGA, recompilations etc. Nearly every example of this produces broken or poorly performing results. It's happening exactly as I feared.

Today we have something special: a newly translated interview from July 1996 between Shigeru Miyamoto and Kenji Eno! Conducted just weeks after the launch of Mario 64, Eno takes Miyamoto to task (in a friendly way) with several fascinating critiques of its design. shmuplations.com/miyamotoxeno/

A hidden terribleness about the AI translations of older games that keep popping up lately - in this case Tricolor Crise for the Dreamcast - is the way they knock the wind out of the sails of the people who are trying to actually do it properly. LLM version didn't even use the right character names.

I thought Palworld looked so gross and plasticky on fancy hardware but seeing my fiancée play it docked on a steam deck with lower res and simplified/washed out textures, it almost looks like a late ‘90s PC game.
Palworld screenshot: A silver-haired woman with a crossbow stands atop a stone tower with a castle wall, sandy beach, and cerulean water in the distance below. The stone textures are vaguely mossy and the trees look weird.

Consoles are becoming blips on the radar and physical discs were one of the few advantages they had left over PC, along with the first party dev talent which they continue to gut. So what are they now? Jailed storefronts with higher game prices and fewer indie games, locked to underpowered boxes?

Jet Brian Radio @jetbrianradio.bsky.social · 08/07/2026
I’m more concerned with ensuring the digital games I buy remain playable in perpetuity and Sony is hardly reassuring that. PC does, though, so a digital-only PS6 will require far greater exclusives and/or transformative experiences for me to buy one, yet they continue to gut their best dev talent.

I believe construction budgets simply go a lot further with the building on the right because the materials are significantly cheaper and they can build more buildings/units with the finite funding they have. (At least according to my friend who’s an architect for low income housing projects)

Platforms have telegraphed digital-only for years and publishers make a lot less money on disc sales than digital. Petitions won’t work b/c companies have every incentive to end discs and erode digital ownership. Our only recourse is to rally for better competition. Now is the time for a GOGbox...

Maybe I’ve spent too much time scouring ‘90s Edge news tidbits but my mind has built up a palpable mystique surrounding the Panasonic M2. I almost never want to play these games just so I can preserve that.
