In Japanese, Shinra Middle Manager is called Shinra Kachō (神羅課長) and all I can think of is Arino on the train to Midgar's top plate lol

this is like when a PS2 game needed a voice actor, so they used whoever was nearby and could speak english

okay I think that Nana might be the first anime in like 5 years that I actually want to buy a physical copy of. It's so good 🥲

It's definitely normal for Shinra to be on a list of baby names

Okay wow the new Metroid looks really good. They showed actual bodily violence in a trailer??? I think they finally understand that Samus works best as Powerful Angry Woman

Protip: you do not have to watch the new Harry Potter trailer. I did not watch the new Harry Potter trailer, and I am doing great. If I had watched the new Harry Potter trailer, I am sure to have felt regretful and like I had betrayed many wonderful trans folks just living their lives.

just emulate the PS1 original version imo - it's the way it was originally intended, and you can also use good crt shaders so the screen presentation looks like how it would have been at the time

bro are you telling me that Iggy Pop played a Vorta on DS9 and I didn't even notice til someone pointed it out lol

I'd been starting to feel a bit down lately with the stack of demos that I haven't been able to finish yet this year. but listening back, there are some really fire ones and I am really keen to finish them 🎶

Who could look at this and say that the trajectory of what stories are "allowed" to be told to the public is not politically driven? Think of the change in public thought a big film made by and starring trans people could bring, and those with power who are desparately against giving them a voice.

One of the things I love most about any Monster Hunter game: Getting smacked around the whole time during a fight with a new monster, then trying it again sometime later and suddenly finding it easy to dodge its attack patterns. It feels so rewarding 👌🏻

Luminist @luministmusic.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

imo playing the Monster Hunter series is one of the most fun ways to experience the passage of videogame graphics hardware across the last 20+ years.

I think the fact he had to go and check whether the notes said that is pretty telling of the level of knowledge you realistically get out of "researching" a subject using ai. Why bother listening to someone who literally doesn't know what they are talking about?

FF6 had pacing issues as a single game. I cannot fathom stretching it out even further to multiple titles

Myst is an interesting one in that I think its presentation can maybe feel oblique to folks who weren't around when it released. For the time, it was doing something really groundbreaking. A very cool experience that is still special today, but maybe for some requires looking through a past lens.

playing Ys: Oath in Felghana right now, and really love how its level up system and economy respects the player. you get less xp per level for the same enemies, so the gameplay loop feels exciting and encourages exploration and pushing forward even though it's risky. it's really fun!

This kind of sucks. Falcom has an unfortunate history of not crediting individual composers on their games too, so it can be hard to find out who made what.

This scene from DS9 is such peak character interaction! 🥹 I love these slow-burn, slice of life moments that DS9 sometimes shows us. They do such a great job of rounding characters out into 3D people.

I have a cartridge of this game - it's this fantastic transparent teal colour, and the label is printed on transparent plastic. Not only one of the sickest Famicom carts, but one of the sickest game cartridges out there in general imo

the idea of removing tank controls from Silent Hill 1, where it was thematically relevant to have a character that didn't move like an action hero (intentionally or not)...
