With Sakura Wars turning thirty, here's the first place I ever heard about the game: Casey Loe's review in the December 1996 issue of Gamefan. American magazines from this era tended to mock "dating sims" if they covered them at all, but this is a pretty good piece.

Here's a curiosity, it seems Kaz Aizawa did a 2nd painting for HAL's Kabuki: Quantum Fighter for NES. Both are full paintings around 15" x 20". While the one on the left doesn't appear to have been used directly, the scene is incorporated into the background of the published box art as a thumbnail

I think the most frustrating thing for me personally and one that feels unique to games journalism is that if you try to talk about these inequities people will just straight up say you’re a bad person and the create a reason for that post facto

I haven't seen the Resident Evil movie yet but hearing people say they don't like the last 1/3rd as much as the rest of the movie gives me confidence that it's a good movie. Having a weaker last 1/3rd is just a resident evil staple since the start of the series

Reuters got some of the IPO docs. Anthropic is a total dog of a company. Spent $12.6bn to make $4.6bn in revenue in 2025, $7.33bn of which was compute costs. Operating loss of $8bn. Losses getting worse year over year. Amazing stuff www.reuters.com/business/fin...
Summary
Companies
• Anthropic IPO could value the company at more than $2
trillion
• Anthropic lost $42 billion in 2025
• Al lab spent $7.33 billion on compute and infrastructure last year
• Operating loss widened to $8.06 billion in 2025 from $2.98 billion in 2024
• Execs, industry analysts have expressed concerns over harms of Al tech
Sept 28 (Reuters) - Anthropic is making a massive bet that Al will transform the global economy more profoundly than industrialization, electricity and the internet, according to its IPO prospectus seen by Reuters.
But the cost to get there will be staggering. Anthropic reported a net loss of $42 billion in 2025, and plans to spend $518 billion on cloud, computing and infrastructure obligations in coming year, according to the
prospectus.

excuse me what the fuck is going on here i guess it worked because i'm posting but like, what is represented here. is this meant to be brothers grimm or affinities fur?
an AT&T advert
the text reads:

'Bold of T-Mobile to assume it's ok to mislead customers about pricing.'

the embedded video is a short animated loop of an anthropomorphic - straightforwardly furry - wolf..man, i believe, who is wearing a magenta stetson hat, and is holding the brim, tipping it to the camera, while smirking salaciously and giving bedroom eyes to the camera.
