using caelus as a damsel mannequin with no lines basically just existing as a toy object plot excuse for the silverfly fight instead of stelle because stelle wouldve played with them

J'ajouterai, fatalement, qu'il y a une exonération très facile des acteurs de la tragédie, que n'osent pas d'autres titres similaires (que ce soit les Fatal Frame eux-mêmes, mais aussi Silent Hill f, Paranormasight, etc.). D'une certaine manière, il y a une dépolitisation du sujet même.

Une revisite particulièrement solide du second meilleur opus de la licence Fatal Frame ; bien meilleur que le remake Wii à l'époque, dont les fins additionnelles et rajouts étaient pour ainsi dire complètement hors propos. Il reste, ceci dit, une relecture moderne assez décevante / facile de la fin.

another bombshell: Xenosaga Pied Piper's coming to G-MODE Archives! https://store.steampowered.com/app/4532150/GMODE/ this'll be the first Bandai-Namco game to hit G-MODE Archives proper—Bannam's promised it'll be the first of many, and was made possible in part due to sustained fan demand

On va continuer à se demander pourquoi les gens se radicalisent et pourquoi de plus en plus de personnes sont fascinées par l'idée de violence politique, sans jamais se poser de questions sur le fait que toutes les formes d'action politique non violente sont systématiquement dévalorisées.

This cruise thing is kind of making me realise that I'm happy not watching NL anymore. 🫣

Well you can't get it with replies off so you'll have to accept a qrt

Ça faisait un moment que je ne vous avais rien partagé. Voici Drylvar, une ville de l'empire sous-marin des Zurithors, dans Aëdemphia. On se rapproche de la sortie, j'ai fini ma partie de test jusqu'à la fin du jeu avec 80h de temps de jeu.

Checking again Eiko Maruko Siniawer's book on waste management in Japan (Waste: Consuming Postwar Japan, 2018), and this little passage will never cease to amuse me...

‘If they pollute our rivers, what will become of us?’: the town divided between hope and fear in Brazil’s Amazon oil rush

Seven years after the Tohoku earthquake, a family from Namie struggles to rebuild. At the Triangle Intersection, which premiered at last year’s Yamagata International Documentary Film Festival, is now screening at select theaters in Japan with English subtitles. Learn more at: shorturl.at/DELKC

Le concours général avait été une chouette expérience, mais on se fiche vraiment de la tête du monde, vu l'état de l'école aujourd'hui. C'était très drôle de voir la liste des lauréats (parisiens), connus par ailleurs depuis les autres concours/olympiades...

Leaving the translations to unofficial fans out there to fill the gaps is no different than what a bunch of huge companies do with their own games

What if the novel doesn’t center the individual as its organizing force? In this blog post, Ainehi Edoro examines how African fiction foregrounds worlds—layered, ecological, cosmological—where characters participate in meaning rather than govern it. buff.ly/mOSokvv #AfricanLiterature #NovelTheory

I definitely vibe with the top 5...

TRÈS INTÉRESSANT de se plonger dans la courte ludographie du réalisateur de l'extension de Mario Bros Wonder " Le Parc Bellabel" Yuhei Ariyama ,pour se rendre du véritable turn-over qui est en train de s'opérer chez Nintendo. Un petit fil, ça fait longtemps ⬇️

Cautiously ok with this stance on a purely pragmatic standpoint. I don't think there was much more we could have hoped from GA than the Researcher Tool being separate and the focus on preservation/OCR. I have my own opinion about the translation tool, LLM and the socio-environmental cost, but eh.

Le LARHRA a appris aujourd'hui le décès de l'historien Maurice Garden (1935-2026), ancien professeur d'histoire moderne à l'Université Lyon 2 et directeur du Centre Pierre Léon. Sa thèse d'État sur Lyon et les Lyonnais au XVIIIe siècle reste un classique de l'histoire sociale. Un précieux héritage.

BREAKING NEWS 📰: BLUE REFLECTION Quartet, a collection of all four entries in the series. This includes anime RAY/澪 and mobile game SUN/燦 adapted into the console-game format for the first time ever. This may be one of the happiest days of my life. もう一度会いに来るよ、菜々花。 blue-reflection.com/quartet/jp/

Gotcha Gotcha Games published a teaser trailer for a new RPG Maker project that appears to support HD-2D-esque 3D structure maps with elaborate lighting: https://www.rpgsite.net/news/19969-gotcha-gotcha-games-publishes-rpg-maker-new-project-teaser-trailer

I thus bring out March to a close with a new article on Hiroyuki Kanno’s Xenon. Come read about how Kanno uses the combination of science-fiction, mystery, and pornography as a means to develop an experimental narrative: ogrerun.com/2026/03/25/x...

I really dislike the use of the "death of the *Author*", just because it has become a lazy catchphrase since the 1970s. It doesn't nullify the role of the author, but destroys the idea of a theological analysis of the text (Author). The author becomes the point of confluence for various signs.

Yesterday the Indian government removed people's right to self-identify as transgender The fact that this did made no news, even on LGBTQ focused sites like Pink News is just insane.

Harbor (Umizuri ni Ikou!, Wonderswan, Coconuts Japan Entertainment, 1999)

Ce qui m’a toujours surpris avec Jospin, ce sont les gens qui se souviennent de son gouvernement comme d’un âge d’or où les soc'dem' faisaient couler le lait et le miel sur les masses laborieuses, alors qu’en vrai ces années-là ont consacré la capitulation de la gauche

So, um... this is bad. Really bad. I looked at the letters that were translated by the AI, and the very first one I found was almost entirely hallucination. Thread:

As I'm playing Lufia 1 with a friend, I wonder how I went through this without the Restored hack when I was younger... But despite the commonness of the story, I really like the soft banter between the characters! It feels alive and gentle, and way too often absent from RPGs!

Et on souhaite un bon anniversaire à Aulas qui peut retourner là d'où il vient (les poubelles).

Some notes while studying colours and rendering #horseart #digitalart

just realized, thanks to landscape architect Murakami Shihori, another payoff from a focus on gardening in the ashes of urban Japan: in attuning citydwellers to the possibilities of squatting, land grabs, and transitional land use, they laid the groundwork for black markets of the postwar period

"recent JRPGs which have taken a more radical, experimental, or novel approach to turn-based combat without doing away with it completely are not discussed." the answer to this is that systems don't matter to most people. the part of these games they care about is presentation

After reading the recent Polygon article on JRPGs, I’ve spent the past two days writing a response on warped perceptions of the genre, why the future is in the free game scene, and how these discussions have hardly evolved in the nearly twenty years they’ve been staged: ogrerun.com/2026/03/17/y...

It's official! Kyouko Hikawa's classic shōjo manga From Far Away gets a TV anime this year!
