Count Lee from the 1985 Vampire Hunter D movie, his face shrouded in shadows and portrayed in blues and blacks with red eyes narrowed to slits.

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.

Space Heroes & Other Fools 08 - Darkness [HQ]

We talked about Julia Ecklar a good bit, but what about the songs on Space Heroes & Other Fools? This is a powerful #filk album, and I think the right answer is to just jump straight into my favourite song on it: Darkness. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9N-v...

I picked up a physical copy of this game at PAX from Indiepocalypse, and I cannot wait to play more of it. It's weird, inventive, and something like comfy (?) in all the best ways. I will definitely be throwing this on in the background the next time I play some more.

For the next part of the #ttrpg design of this weird Drakengard game, we're going to pull a 180 and see what to do about Aerial Missions. Events are barely gameplay and lots of story, Cutscenes are all story, Ground Missions involve bouncing around a map, but Aerial Missions are a Different Thing.

You know, maybe this is what I should have talked about in Drakengard first - the pact relationship. This is the part of the game that made me go, "Wow! This isn't just a Dynasty Warriors from Squeenix."

J? @jquestionmark.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

We have a decent chunk of local wildlife and some folks that let their cats outdoors, so occasionally we'll find evidence that critters met a grisly fate. I didn't think we had local wild hedgehogs, though...

I am ashamed to admit I had no idea 10S FOREVER was a thing until right now. I played 10S back when it was part of the Racial Justice megabundle, and in addition to being a fun game, it did [a thing] that blew my mind. Also, the title is a hilarious pun that took me too long to realize. Go get it!

Continuing to muse on the Drakengard #ttrpg idea, and I'm finding myself want to try to break down the game in a similar way to how Nightcrawler is my Boyfriend looks to break down the X-Men comics. It looks at them both as a medium, and from an in-story even standpoint.
