3 stars is good and if you say it's bad because it's a 6/10 when converting to a 10-point scale, that's because you're using a 10-point scale which is an inferior metric of appraisal

New Paranormasight today! We’re almost at the end, so it’s time to lay out all the clues, confront our villain, and make a plan! One episode left after this one, so now’s the time to tune in if you haven’t yet: “I'd Just Be Normal After 800 Years TBH” youtu.be/_dEVX5vzSXE

do i need to watch the previous projections on the cave wall to see the new one?

EMIYA is up there with Megalomania youtu.be/cUs8FEsDUZ4?...

When you look at this as "this is all games published by the company running it" I think the proposition starts to become clear: this is almost certainly a back-catalog sales maneuver for a publisher with a bunch of old titles that aren't moving. I can only assume dark diety 2 is the loss leader

Impressionistically: I find forms with more constraints push more of the work of editing to points earlier in the process of writing.

Fickle fortune will strike you down when you least expect it. You can read a treatise about this here thaliarchus.itch.io/cosmic-warlo...

Fun fact: In the Japanese version of Xenoblade X, the mecha are known as "Dolls". Here's the page I did for Xeno Compendium!

i’m enamored with this thing. there’s something very beautiful and also very perverse an N64 controller that’s Normal

Wrapped up Paranormasight: The Mermaid's Curse, probably my GOTY contender so far. Those two crazy kids made it in this messed up world

good post

▫️▫️▫️ UPDATE ▫️▫️▫️ We have reached Extended Stretch Goal 2! (And it's not an April Fool's joke, either!) How much higher can we fly, Ravens? The giveaway prize pack for 350 orders contains 1 ACVI Raven hat and 1 Handler Walter handbag!

it's good that they didn't "announce" kowloon highschool chronicle 2 for april fools because that means there's still a chance for it to exist

the fgo wikia translating aoko's special buff as "protagonist correction" compared to official fgo na using "plot armor" is a good example of how you can have a translation that's dictionary accurate but still utterly sauceless. or in other words just because you're correct doesn't mean you're right

a boy has the right to dream

When you grow older there's a temptation to drift rightward and become more reactionary and complacent, to dismiss your previous views as childish fancies not grounded in the real world, and if you resist that urge you win.

legendsoflocalization.com/articles/mov... I've been seeing posts about The Wizard, that Nintendo-centric movie from like 35 years ago So here's a look at the Japanese translation of the movie!

Taiga Fujimura is the secret millennial wish fulfillment character in Fate: works hard at a job she has real passion in, takes it easy in every other aspect of her life, her rich parents give her support to lean on, she gets to hang out with the coolest cast members and eat home cooked meals daily.

CHARACTER ACTOR: [badly beaten] john I respect you as a fellow samurai. take my kris. salaam aleikum john wick JOHN WICK: [punches him unconscious in a way that makes clear he has left him alive, because of mutual respect]

Actually April is the scientist; the creature is called April's Fool

Happy “We Made A Joke About Dating Simulators, Because We Think Anything Without Violence Is Fake And Gay” Day

lmao i had not realized it was like this

I have complex feelings about the main thing I spent my creative energy on for two years being a derivative work of a mod patch of a fan translation of a derivative work, but minimum three people told me they enjoyed it, so I guess quantitatively it was a net positive for the world's gestalt spirit.

"the game is written like social media" is a phrase that's really stuck with me since reading this to describe this style of writing which I have an *extreme* distaste for. it's so spot-on

the nicest thing you can wish upon an artist in 2026 is that their work gains a small but dedicated cult following of kind hearted and politically shrewd weirdos & sickos that keep the fire going. the meanest thing you can wish upon an artist in 2026 is that their work gains a large online fandom

why did i draw this #tsukihime

And that's not even getting to the smaller stuff. Like, a middle finger? Are you going to tell me with a straight face that all this raunchy and explicit dialogue was fine, but showing a middle finger was TOO SPICY FOR NINTENDO or whoever ultimately demanded these changes?

Like, what the hell is this? No one describes...whatever this was, so I guess you're free to fill in whatever you want. It's not described by anyone, so whatever the joke is, it's just *gone* now. Fuck you, provide your own joke.

Wondering if maybe we can just use itch's posting feature to create some kind of Zombie-version of cohost...

i imagine this same sentiment festered in the people who made Tumblr

it's funny how much the ppl who make this site hate all of us lmfao

YOU - Suffering will only make me stronger. ENDURANCE - It's probably this way of thinking that got you where you are.

It's funny to me that the cut off for like REALLY REALLY old anime fan to some people is like after school Toonami and the idea of people who bought tapes on VHS in like 1995 and before are like Luke in The Last Jedi at this point to the masses

something something the powers that be want us to squabble amongst ourselves over arbitrary generational cohorts instead of focusing on our shared class struggles probably idk

I wrote this post while only partway into Stand Alone Complex, and it's only become more depressingly relevant as I've watched more. obsidianmoonshine.com/public/1-blo...

Trying my best to make em, and like em! It’s calming to make a bunch of varieties of em
