Btw, Silksong's script stands at about 90.000 words total. A pro TL would need about 2 months to translate that much, and that's with an additional editor pass.

DoDonPachi DaiOuJou DX Reco.ver (大往生DX-ﾚｺver.-) was preserved by Yuuku! Only sold on December 30, 2007, this is a score competition variant of DoDonPachi DaiOuJou DX. Given how it was only available for one day, this may be one of the rarest i-mode games preserved so far.

The demo for #DigimonStoryTimeStranger is LIVE for consoles today 😍 It’s been live for PC (Steam) Downloading this morning and will play posting some thoughts as I play. ❤️😎

30 years ago gaming changed forever 🤍

How the hell did they even get this patent approved when it applies to HUNDREDS OF GAMES going back decades? Is there no prior art protection clause in the US?

@chiltonm.bsky.social's article examining the cosy vs capitalism playoff in Promise Mascot Agency (and indeed, cosy games as a genre) sure prompted some interesting reflections about why I like cosy/life-sim games so much. Well worth reading! unwinnable.com/2025/09/05/m...

Said it a bunch and I'll say it again—that Thomas isn't like Folding Ideas big is a true failing of the platform. Super compelling concept realised brilliantly here. Get it watched, you won't regret it.

Linda explainer! -Linda Linda Linda is a 2005 movie about a group of girls covering songs by punk band The Blue Hearts. -Linda³ is an RPG for the PC Engine CD about attempting to recreate Noah's Ark on the planet of Neo Kenya. -The two are not directly related! Hope this clears things up!

Why Fem&Ms but no Testoblerone??

My channel is 5 subs away from hitting 500, what the hell?! Come on, folks, help bump me over that milestone! In fact, here's some videos I'm rather proud of, which you might enjoy! 🧵 www.youtube.com/@ThePotatoWi...

Got these back to back while doing my Duolingo German lesson today. What is this family dynamic like? Am I going to learn how to say, "I'm my own grandpa" next? XD

www.sixthtone.com/news/1017537 an article of gaming history really., fucking landmark is what it should be.

Described by one user as "Ratchet & Clank meets Pokemon meets Spore," Voidling Bound (@voidlingbound.bsky.social) is too much for my aging PC to handle, but it looks fun as hell, so I highly urge you to check out the Steam demo! store.steampowered.com/app/3559900/...

I’d rather be gaming rn

Yes for some, no for others, like 98% of video games.

Since today's discourse is on how "not everyone grew up with Nintendo", I'll reshare this: medium.com/@felipepepe/... And reinforce that this is systemic - a consequence of US hegemony. It's NOT a personal attack on American journos, youtubers & gamers, but rather a reminder of our differences.

If you want to make a potato feel loved today, you could check out Quadnines, where I review video games along with some other assorted nonsense every now and then. Much appreciated! quadnines.wordpress.com

Survival isn’t pretty. It’s crawling when you can’t stand, breathing when you don’t want to, holding on when every part of you wants to let go. No one will ever know the full cost. But the fact that you’re still breathing? That is defiance enough. And that refusal to vanish is beautiful 🖤🫡

Played some more SMTV today, but high pain levels meant it was tough to concentrate for long. Tempted to start replaying Pokemon HGSS, just for something light and familiar when my brain and body can't handle more serious and engaging games.

Anyway! Share and support the creatives and creativity you want to see. Make the effort to pass an article along after clicking through to read it. Tell an outlet you always come back for [person's] work. Read a great piece after the hype's died down? Tell your friends about it. Send a website £5.

If you're like me and planning to get a PHYSICAL copy of Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles, buy the SWITCH 1 EDITION. 1. It has the full game on the cart 2. You get a FREE digital upgrade to the Switch 2 version The Switch 2 version will NOT have a physical cart.

影山雅司 永眠のお知らせ We are deeply saddened to share that Gimmick! composer Masashi Kageyama has passed away.

I'm absolutely determined to finish all the Squeakross puzzles before I write my review, even though I could feasibly have written it like a month ago.

This is the future of video essays.

We are just 4 days in, and the Games for Palestine charity has raised +$50k USD and is a 1/4 of the way to our goal. Incredibly thankful to everyone for all the support, generosity and kindness. Let’s continue demonstrating the power of games to making a difference for those in need.

Tired: “cookie dough” Wired: “cookie sashimi”

This is correct.

I despise how hard YouTube actively fucks over its users and creators at every turn. Be sure to check your devices (Yes, plural DEVICE(S), because they’ve made it per device not just account), and make sure this setting is OFF! It’s potentially hiding thousands of videos from you.

I gave a talk at AnimeNYC 2025 about Japanese spiritual traditions hiding in plain sight in your favorite anime series, from Jujutsu Kaisen and DanDaDan to Totoro and even Gundam! Now the video is online — check out my newsletter for info! blog.hirokoyoda.com/p/animated-s...

New article on my site! OverBlood tries really hard to incorporate the 3D spaces its characters wander around into the adventure; height, depth, and distance something to consider and overcome: kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com/2025/09/08/o...

Mim-cat has been a screamy mimi today (changes in weather don't mix well with chronically-ill half-blind elderly cat whose mind hasn't been all there for a few years), but she's currently curled up sleeping on my bed. She might pee on it later, but that's future me's problem!

Hate to do this but money is prrretty tight right now. If my vids have brought you some enjoyment or comfort over the years and you want to see them continue, please consider pledging even a dollar a month over at patreon.com/writingongames. Sincerely, every pledge helps tremendously!

My channel before and after YouTube's new "Restricted Mode".

Before vs after Restricted Mode gets turned on. Apparently Restricted Mode deems that parts of some RPG Recap episodes are fine, but mostly not the complete versions. Hyped games = bad. Some game demos = bad, but not all. About 1/3 of my videos vanished when I turned Restricted Mode on.

Many gamers benefit from accessibility options but they also do not harm those that have no use for them. We now try to highlight what is available in games when we do the reviews because gamers do look for them. /3

Started learning German via Duolingo. Now, combined with previous knowledge, I can write a 2 sentence story in German: "Bier, bitte." ...Drei Tage und fünf Bardamen später... (Translates to: "Beer, please." ...Three days and five barmaids later...) @lile.bsky.social , I hope you're proud! XD

There's no magical distinction between "real team" and "contractor team" when it comes to making something. You either need someone else's time/expertise or you don't, and if you do, then they helped make the thing.

This “solo dev” and “only 3 devs” rhetoric is getting truly dangerously out of hand. Investors see this and think “I only have to pay 3 people” and the result is severely overworked and/or underpaid people and a subpar product. We need to stop treating outsourcers and contractors like ghosts.

According to Restricted Mode, I haven’t published a video since Feb 2024. A video on Astro Bot is missing. Three videos on Spider-Man are missing. “Mature content” my ass! Might explain why my views are down by a 3rd across the board. Whatever YouTube’s done is slowly killing my channel 😂

This video from @laurakbuzz.bsky.social has been eye-opening for me and made me more aware of the tactics that publishers implement to made me spend and play more And now I just play whenever I want it, not when the game wants me to www.youtube.com/watch?v=34GF...

In 2006, Rule of Rose had quite the troubled time getting published in Europe. It all started in October from Italian magazine Panorama, which denounced the perverted content in the game (that wasn't there). The article was also mostly plagiarized from an online review. It didn't end there🧵
