Also thank you to everyone who's played my English translation patch Progenitor so far. I wasn't expecting it to get this much traction, but I'm glad people are (hopefully) enjoying it. I'm working on a minor update and a translation for the official manual, should be out soon. #Progenitor #PC98

Right on. A full English translation patch for Koei's Progenitor, a 1994 visual novel/RPG/strategy game for the PC98 that plays a little like Uncharted Waters....IN SPAAAAAAAACE.

Koei's Obscure PC-98 Space Adventure 'Progenitor' Is Now Available In English.

Progenitor - English Translation (PC98) Added

Calamo's the ancestor of (or the young) Great Deku Tree, isn't he...

I was hoping to play the new Hyrule Warriors game this weekend, but my pre-order isn't looking to arrive until next weekend... 😅

With a week to go till the release of #HyruleWarriors #AgeOfImprisonment, I thought I'd share the meanings behind staple characters' names.

I still hate when YouTubers try voice acting. Partially because I'm from an era where crossover of the medium and any other career was considered taboo or desperate, and partially because most of the attempts are just...bad. 1/

Just had a blue screen while watching a YouTube video, nothing else in the background. That's a new one...

This isn't a sleight at any game or person in particular, but I'm beginning to no longer see games as art with how some players complain about the minute details without giving actual critical feedback. 1/

Just a heads-up for any translators; avoid US-specific terminology. I saw an anime movie the other day and they mentioned "playing hooky" and I had no idea what it meant even with the context of the rest of the sentence. 1/

While I try to figure out how to decompress or decrypt where the cutscene text is, I've decided to start on another smaller project first. Winning Post, a horse racing game that's still getting entries as recent as 2023.

For now, gonna watch the State of Play showcase. I'm not expecting much other than some RGG news (besides Kiwami 3),maybe more info on Kojima's two new games, and news on new PC ports.

I've unlocked a new tier of Aspergers; translating obscure PC-98 games...

I need to stop trying to learn pixel art. Every time I spend a couple of hours on a tutorial I'm like "I don't get this". I know there's a method, but from my perspective it feels very vibes-based so I can't see a formulaic way of doing things and that confuses me as a programmer.

#NintendoDirect: - Super Mario Galaxy movie - Spring - Super Mario Galaxy 1+2 - Oct '25 - Mario Tennis Fever - Feb '26 - Super Mario Bros Wonder + Bellabel Park - Spring - Talking Flower toy - Spring - Yoshi and the Mysterious Book - Spring

I swear they said the Directs were ending back in April and switching to the calendar. Maybe they're only doing special Directs now? I don't know. Anyway, let's see what we have coming up. I hope AoI isn't out till early next year...

Make sure your RPG battle transitions, scene composition, and attack animations are at least as cool as this Taiwanese DOS RPG from 1995

@polyducks.co.uk You wouldn't happen to have a recording of the 1-bit pixel art talk you did back in April?

I swear, I'm getting tired of apps and websites that just hide the scrollbar. I AM PHYSICALLY UNABLE TO USE A MOUSE SCROLLWHEEL! Stop hiding the damn scrollbar and let me drag it instead of being counter-accessible to both older people and people with hand issues. 1/

New game (well, port): bonoko.itch.io/pq-gba

Gamescom starts tonight...which means I get to try my best not to get irrationally angry at Geoff Keighley presenting every form of gaming media as if he invented the industry.

Final episode, time for the return of Omega...he better not be a dragon like RTD did with the return of the a previous masked villain.

Doctor Who now. And right off the bat, I hate that there's two Ranis. Either actress I would have taken, but together they create a comedic duo which I hated in the brief scene we saw at the end of last week's episode. I hope one either turns on the other or is killed.

Technically yes, the Internet was made at Switzerland's CERN lead by a British developer with French funding. #Eurovision

Doctor Who time, then Eurovision. Earth is NOT calling... 👀

Some DW, I hope we get more episodes set abroad or in other historical periods outside Britain in later seasons.

I'm gonna have to start making game dev posts and not just DW...but not today 😅.

The Well, let's see how this goes. Though it's looking like the episodes are gonna start one after another without any in between time. Which is an interesting change for the show, not just RTD.

RTD, I love the episodes involving gods. But please stop putting them as the second episode of the season. This is the second time in a row, and with following fixed patterns following your companions as well, it's genuinely starting to show a lack in creative flexibility compared to your peers...

I know there's a stigma against yellow paint as a handholder in climbable ledges, but I think Atomfall is a good example of a game where it was very needed. There was a lot of ledges I thought were climbable but weren't and some that were but looked impassable. 1/

In honour of World Quantum Day I would like NBC to greenlight season 3 of Quantum Leap's reboot...or maybe I can just share my favourite meme:

Never expected my first posts to be about Doctor Who, but here we are.
