Listen, as someone experiencing severe Fortune's Weave burnout in Part 3 of the game... they might have made too much game... it's okay that you don't have it...

Even the people who get a little bit suspicious just think, "well... nobody else thinks it's weird, I guess it's just me..." and tries to put it out of mind - textbook, *literal* cognitive dissonance. There's nothing worth being embarrassed about, it's all, like, a weird bug humans are wired with.

I moderate a friend's server and we had to ban someone for lying about... uh, well, everything possible. And I've said this before but I always come back to that one HBomberGuy quote: It turns out, when something is really easy to check, nobody ever does!

Fabio points out that in Fodlan, the current month would be the Garland Moon. Throuses fans will remember this is said to be a month for lovers to gift garlands and confess. Deitrich says that even here, the moon is beautiful, isn't it? Fabio - looking at Dietrich - agrees indeed it is. Holy shit.

And if you pishaw at the most consistently intentionally romantic subtext in Japanese media of all times, the game follows it up by having one of them cry "I love you!" in anguished declaration. Like damn, no subjectivity there, it's textual.

Fortune's Weave is crazy man I genuinely wasn't expecting the unambiguously gay "the moon is beautiful, isn't it?" type beat.

I took this quiet little priestess who barely talks above a whisper and said "WELCOME TO BOOT CAMP, YOU'RE FIGHTING GIANT BEARS IN A SWAMP." Then she got hit for the first time ever and made THIS noise and I had to pause the game for a full seven minutes laughing my ass off

I feel like people really undervalue this skill whenever it comes up. I barely ever see anyone talk about Bernadetta's mechanically identical Persecution Complex.

The manga is so good. The anime stops before the true depths of Coco's emotional constipation are revealed. Girl who says "I used to feel [happy] too" on screen, and it's a world where therapy isn't a thing so nobody knows how to deal with all that.

Her friends are all like "Leda you need to stop using the cursed weapon it's destroying you" and she plays a power chord that erases the taste of strawberries from her memories or whatever.

Try switching it up a bit, you could probably do a "b-baka!" or two every once in a while.

I stayed at a hotel near the Nintendo Museum and found a guestbook, so I drew something in it. Everyone there was incredibly kind and welcoming. It became a wonderful memory for me. I’m truly grateful to them—and to Nintendo for making this experience possible.

Numerous people have already been pointing out for days that western reporting on this is an embarrassingly inaccurate game of telephone, so I'll instead reiterate that it doesn't cost that much to just have a real translator on standby to vet such reports. I know budgets are tight, but come on.

EG fell for it too. :( The Capcom presentation contains a slide with "AI世代のゲームエンジンへ" - the article omits the "へ", for one, but the issue is that while 世代 means 'generation', it's in the 'console generation' sense, not like GenAI. Without へ, translation software gets it totally wrong.

Genuinely the fact that this game ends with the characters more connected by the backstory than you'd think, but perhaps slightly less than you'd hope is the most faithful homage to Hotel Dusk they could've done.

Really loved Detective Instinct. Got me into ADVs again, and rekindled my appreciation for the Nintendo DS. It’s nostalgic in the best way, as it’s not directly emulating any one thing, but is instead presenting the feeling that came with playing its inspirations for the first time

Days of Yore is easily one of the best ongoing yuri manga and its at a serious risk of getting Axed. If you enjoy the series and have the means, please consider buying a digital copy, I do not want this series to die.

I just got myself the three currently available volumes in Japanese (I had to change my billing address because they don't sell to Australia) but holy shit, this manga needs an official English release it's just so good.

Madison;Notes @mads-in-zero.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

If you haven't heard of "Dear Flowers That Bloomed In Days Of Yore", please fix that and consider buying the volumes in Japanese if you can. It's an incredible modern day yuri classic, and the official Japanese release is perilously close to being canned - we need to Love Bullet this shit.

I love when a Servant character says something unhinged and you look into the time and place they're based on and it's just fully legit. Yeah year courtly romances, we've all heard of them.

I'm only halfway through the routes right now but they seem to have written in a lot of backdoors for the wishes like Solel tells Theodora that since she's dropping out to put down a rebellion, he'll consider granting her wish anyway. Worldline Convergence.

The timeline being consistent across routes is kinda crazy.
