It's about time I get into the holiday spirit 🎁 🎄

More games need to embrace dolphin surfers as major characters

Hehehehe~~

I've had one regret with Oyaji Hunter Mahjong, one lingering task left undone. And now, today, I can finally say... I'VE BROKEN INTO KENJI ENO'S STAFF ROOM!!! Wooo!!! (this took like 2 days of decompilation, enjoy my struggles in blog post form~ PHEW~~) (also Oyaji Hunter v1.1 English patch)

Playing a funny game tonight. Airs Adventure for Sega Saturn, which was recently translated by @snowyaria.goodorevengreat.games ! www.twitch.tv/lodey

I'm playing Airs Adventure because the translation just came out a couple days ago and this is mandatory viewing for me, specifically. obligatory @snowyaria.goodorevengreat.games tag/shoutout, of course! www.twitch.tv/fioraalmater

I wanted to gush more about 1AM Operator (as well as start blogging about more modern Japanese games I've been playing too), so here's a spoiler-free introduction to one of my favorite JP indie games from this year! (please don't call your friends at 1AM without their permission!)

Airs Adventure - English Translation (SAT) Added

The Ancient Roman Killer has arrived

had a "borrowing a game from a kid i dont know that well and seeing the unhinged name they used for their save file" moment watching this trailer

I know it's a big ask, but Andrew is so talented and decent and such a staunch supporter of what I do. He deserves to land on his feet after Bungie laid him off years ago. Check his portfolio and give him design/music work if you have it, a little money if not, and a share if you can't do either.

Another translation rises! Rather than just Aria and I this time, Hitomi and Sky had done intense hacking work as well as great (as mentioned) QA respectively to make sure this reached what we could max out of its 'frame.' Check this one out, the Saturn's a great console and the team was amazing!

I helped do playtesting on this. Highly recommend checking it out! It's a good, maybe even a great game!

There's many things you can say about Airs Adventure, but in the end none of them so constantly bust out lines like this or have an important subplot about horse constipation.

The most highly anticipated Saturn translation has arrived! Yes, Airs Adventure is out in English, just in time to liven the holidays!! Credits: @hitomi2500.bsky.social - Hacking @snowyaria.goodorevengreat.games - Translation @nichetopic.bsky.social - Graphics @blueskyrunner.bsky.social - QA

"How many final boss kills must I perform to reach the patch where there's no .bin track issues? Even though I know no perfect solution exists, I too load a new test patch today." - Airs Adventure

I've done irreplaceable damage to several friends' steam wraps this year~

Go home, Crunchyroll, you're drunk

Can't believe Emi made me spend my morning on this

Love that my offline-only media player gives me a wrapped for the whole year that's like "You really liked... *checks notes* ...the main menu theme for a dead mobile game Towatsugai?" Ivy Stroll (the "uh oh someone died!" song from Asatsugutori) would have been way higher without the 1 hour extend

Level 2 in the Lost Levels in particular stands out. It's a space-themed level with quite possibly the worst low gravity jumping I've seen in a game. When you jump, the framerate seems to drop like a rock to simulate the floatiness, I guess? The game speed also tanks as a result. It's spectacular.

Hi everyone. I have one last gift to give to the world for my 40th birthday. The Secret Project is done, and now publicly released: It's the Homeworld Mobile Tech Manual. www.homeworlduniverse.com/homeworld-mo...

Honestly slept on, grab it on sale for some of the most refined turn-based combat around with so many unique bosses throughout. You'll use *everything* in your kit, there's a boss for it™️

My parents' cats hate me :( Probably because I smell like other cats, but also because they're anxiety buckets. I feed you during vacations!

Selling boxes of 35 Untested Random Famicom Games (No duplicates!) for $110 shipped each. Picture includes example of what you might receive. DM me if interested! Thank you!

This was a playtest of a fantl handled by my dear friend @snowyaria.goodorevengreat.games and I really do recommend trying this for the same reason I'd recommend Ancient Roman. You never see games that are just this fundamentally badly put together and so weirdly endearing for it.

[Fan TL] Tobira no Densetsu is out A cult classic in Japan, this game is particularly famous for being a 100 hours long RPG, yet remaining absolutely free The translation was done mostly solo

"And what do we say to the god of death?" "Go go, let's go, happy happy, let's go!!!"

So Wordpress sites get *lots* of spam, even before I told anyone it was up! I got tired of this and didn't want to pay for anti-spam So you know what? *** Rewrote the PHP to demand Spectral Knowledge™! *** Now, if you wish to comment, you must answer an extremely trivial question, mwhaha

Sometimes a miracle happens and you stop the last phase of the boss from detonating your party (at least it felt like he was about to) DLC cleared! And we even killed the Everdark Sentient Pest afterwards~ Phew...

Tried to use the surger to shorten my curtains, broke not only both needles, but also the thread ripper trying to free the curtains ...I'm... just gonna leave that edge raw...

Reviews for Airs Adventure are in! "It's like If a game could dissociate I think it'd be like this" "I am completely, 100% sincere I think Ancient Roman is a much better game Ancient Roman is also deranged in very funny ways but this game makes me feel like I and the game itself are fading" - Emi

Need to relax in the smoky dystopian future nightlife with 10,000 cigarettes? Enjoy a 1-hour extend of a chill song from Belzerion I made for when I need to get things done~

Last Stop

......I'm back? Just a quick one summarizing the anime enshiffitifaction we've been experiencing the past 6 months (AI-subs, shitty typesetting, AI-cc, and AI dubs.) I'll be back to my deep-dives on animanga localization next year, TBD.
