Sometimes people will play dumb about why Israel gets singled out as a uniquely bad actor. Our government having a uniquely extremist supportive relationship with theirs is part of the reason. The other part is that their officials post “I AM HITLER” on American social media all day long

Glad to see Muramasa coming to PC. I asked Vanillaware’s George Kamitani why he hasn’t put his other games on PC and he said he totally wants to, but it’s up to the publisher to finance the ports. So if you want 13 Sentinels, Dragon’s Crown, Unicorn Overlord, Odin Sphere etc. on PC, make some noise.

no one just says shit quite like him

Muramasa: Revenant Blades announced for PS5, Switch 2, Switch, and PC Publisher Marvelous and developer Vanillaware have announced Muramasa: Revenant Blades for PlayStation 5, Switch 2, Switch, and PC (Steam). It will launch in early 2027.

Muramasa: Revenant Blades also confirmed for Steam buff.ly/0Zi2P0b a vanillaware title on PC...

you are morally obligated to buy muramasa on PC so vanillaware puts their other shit there and stops almost dying every game

Kongiku from Muramasa: The Demon Blade Remember that game? From Vanillaware, on the Wii?

Touhou Koumakyou: New Classic – the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil announced for PS5, Switch 2, Switch, and PC Publisher Alliance Arts and developer Shanghai Alice Reprise, a team within Team Shanghai Alice dedicated to making classic games playable on modern platforms, have announced Touhou Project…

when stellar blade was first coming out I said something to the effect of 'there's way too much discourse about a game that will have a metacritic of 78 and sell 2m copies' and I have to apologize; it has sold over six million

XB2 discourse happening again

as fun as it is to dog on jared leto, let's be real: that he-man movie bombed because nobody under 40 gives a fuck about he-man

Stellar Blade discourse is just the new Uzaki discourse atp

Update, Shaun has decided to not only play into the hysteria, an entire *day* after it happened mind you, and double-down on it specifically to frame Stellar Blade as inherently pro-pedophile. I think this should discredit any respect he's been given, to be quite frank.

"fiction normalizes—" idk abt any of that but I think social media has normalized absolutely batshit behavior and social conventions that are inconceivable to anyone that is actually well-balanced and thriving in the real world and that's a bigger problem than fiction will ever be

trying to pretend crying constantly abused ryona lara croft was the prequel to normal lara croft

I used to think a bad fandom was something like Invader Zim or JJBA where everyone is just kind of unfunny. Digital Circus has me reading the opinions of people who I can only assume torture animals in their spare time

if you make me see P4 discourse I'm straight up just killing you

I enjoy getting so worked up about shit that I just end up sounding like the save pumps from Barkley Shut Up And Jam: Gaiden

controversial statement; this has far less to do with engine tech and for more to do with what skills are more easily trainable in a broad population. Technical parameterized realism is one of the easiest things to systematize so the labor market for realism is much deeper with lots of documentation

What's really, deeply fascinating to me about all this discourse is that it's motivated very specifically out of this belief that they cannot let the game "win". Shift-Up has to be endorsing pedophillia, because then hating Stellar Blade becomes a moral imperative. It must be Morally Wrong.

So am I the only one who finds it really weird and off-putting how so many of the first reactions to Stellar Blade 2 are variations of people unironically arguing that a young Asian woman used as a model looks like a child. I'm not the only one who notices how common this is, am I?

Why are people madder about an adult asian woman model in Stellar Blade than the digital necromancy they're doing to Tupac

>look up stellar blade on bluesky to see waht people are talking about >"that new stellar blade looks like jailbait. creepy" do you realize youre telling on yourself. you have just said "this character existing makes me think of her sexually"

I think I quite like the dialogue in Labyrinth of Touhou 1

infinite searching. i Finally found the panel i was looking for

Oh my fucking god they are teaching me Touhou in my college music theory class.

Labyrinth of Touhou Tri -The Dreaming Girls & the Mysterious Orbs- is finally out on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/3067930/...

Labyrinth of Touhou Tri is finally releasing in less than 2 days! I'm closing the donation period to get your name in the game now; thanks so much to everyone who helped support the translation during this long period! store.steampowered.com/app/3067930/

Touhou: Blossom Blade, the remaster of Ankake Spa's first 3D action game starring Youmu, has just been released on Steam and Switch with English support! store.steampowered.com/app/4218930/... www.nintendo.com/us/store/pro...

like yeah the teeth gnashing about boobs in games got us here. resetera doing calculus to determine miriam bloodstained's cupsize and screech about us got us here. Jed Whitaker importing DOAX3 to cry about it got us here. The 'controversy' about Dragon's Crown got us here. Sorry!

like during trump's first term with violent games, we've reached a point where rwers are saying identical things to a lot of lib/left gaming people in the past, so now we're seeing sad attempts to thread the needle of 'ok well they're wrong now but I was right back then' bsky.app/profile/grin...

Annoyed that the "Wow how did Rance make it on steam but Horses got banned?" discussion point quickly pivoted to "We need to ban Rance" instead of "Valves internal guidelines for what is or isn't allowed is nonsensical"

we tried to teach a chimpanzee the guidelines for what is and isn’t allowed on steam and he hung himself

Labyrinth of Touhou Tri will be releasing on January 28th! The long wait is finally close to over. store.steampowered.com/app/3067930/...

Commission

The resemblance IS quite uncanny to be honest

Fuck it, McDonald's Japan Cirno Beef Stew Pie commercial

telling the nintendo fanboy who hates anime rpgs about the enemy in smrpg who references evangelion when you scan them and watching them burst into flames

we got her her modelo

I'm working with Ankake Spa to translate Touhou: Blossom Blade, a remaster of their first game, into English! It's an action game starring Youmu coming to Steam. Donating $5 on my Patreon or Ko-fi before 11/12 will get your name in the game. (October donators are already in!)

I hate jumping on a game reviewer, because everything is subjective. But mannnnnn I read this paragraph and went “oh the Japan hate hasn’t left western games media, they just learned how to write it more passive aggressively”

For Crunchyroll News, I spoke with @dramata.bsky.social and her team about their 13 year journey translating the indie Touhou strategy RPG Fantasy Maiden Wars! www.crunchyroll.com/news/intervi...

I've just made all the Labyrinth of Touhou Tri character preview posts I wrote up last year public even for non-Patreon supporters. You can view them all here: www.patreon.com/collection/1...
