Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles is one of the best remasters Square has done to date! Tons of great updates, visuals hold up really well and the VO work is a worthy compliment to original VO-less version.

Three reasons why I want a Dodgers/Blue Jays World Series: 1. You already know why I want Dodgers 2. I dont want to break Mariners fans hearts. I love those guys. 3. Kendrick could do the funniest thing.

Bacchanal, by Nicolas Poussin, 1624 - figure it worked because of the composition but also the ‘scapegoat’ being dragged off

hi, cis folks in california! this headline leaves out that newsom has another 5 days to sign these bills into law. if you’d like to tell him he should do that to protect trans californians, you should to reach out. he also has a phone: (916) 445-2841 want to know what to say? next post! 🧵

Ugh Bitmap Books :(

The issue with clumping decades and styles into one decade is you sometimes miss how much stuff changes within that decade. Looking at compilations of 80s and 90s commercials, the first stuff that comes up miss the incredible vibes and look of late 80s-early 90s. www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-g6...

One of the best narrative improvements from FF7R over the OG is the difference with Cloud/Aerith's relationship It goes from an adolescent boys' fantasy of girls fawning over them To One about boundaries and how wonderful strong platonic friendships can be over misguided romantic desires.

Hey private equity from the Saudis and Jared Kushner buying EA fucking sucks.

I dont think these Rapture people understand the implications of this on the 40-man rosters of every playoff team for the upcoming MLB Postseason. Will there be an exception to changing rosters after the Rapture happens?

"New Silent Hill game is good"

I'm starting to get texts about this now so I guess I need to say something: There is a fundraiser going around about a "preservation disaster" raising money right now that I highly advise you to stay very far away from. A particular British tabloid is running with it unquestioningly. Thread:

This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.

Robert Redford playing a gentle incarnation of death, coming for a frightened old woman in The Twilight Zone episode "Nothing in the Dark" (1962). An extraordinary performance then, terribly bittersweet today

Whenever I think of the Virtual Boy I'm reminded the first time my sister and I tried one at Kay Bee Toys in the Santa Clarita Town Center, where she proceeded to play for about 5 mins and as soon as she was done, turned her head away from the visor and had the loudest vomit sound I have ever heard.

Boys need less time with guns and more time with Mario Maker on the Wii U with their friends.

Normally I’d agree but given the incendiary and careless messaging from the right and the federal government, it’s significant for the general public to learn that the alleged shooter was an internet poisoned wacko.

Time for some real diabolical trolling in those open mic gaming sessions tonight

Live life online as if you're Lee Everett from Telltale's The Walking Dead and you're about to do or say something that Clementine will *definitely* remember in the final act.

Final Fantasy IX remake finally gets revealed

Flow is incredible and Hundreds of Beavers is one of the best movies I've seen in the last decade. If you havent seen it you should 100% make it your next film to watch

Wait there are people on the internet who take great personal offense that Europeans video game consumption in the 80s and 90s were different?

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.

Check on your local Dodger fan tonight, everyone.

2025 Los Angeles Dodgers really are a history making team.

You can have high fidelity graphics and your game can be successful You can have low fidelity graphics and your game can be successful You can have elaborate animations/pcap with your game can be successful You can have no dialogue, limited/no cinematic animation and your game can be successful

Absolutely no one talking about this but last night I watched Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame for the first since it came out (and I was 10 yrs old). It does not get enough love and admiration, It has some issues and tropes you'd expect from Disney, but it's effective message is so relevant today.

Your occasional reminder that the positive effects of UBI have been tested and validated hundreds of times more often than the murderous Musk robotaxis or LLM’s we’re rushing to put into our schools and streets.

Four movies I hate with a passion: -The Devil's Rejects -Transformers (2007) -Shakespeare in Love -Joker

Not enough BJs but this will have to do.

Man, took me awhile but Expedition 33 is a real joy. What a cool and fresh approach to turned based combat.

The problem isn’t refugees on boats. The problem is oligarchs hoarding obscene amounts of wealth while most people fight to stay afloat. Wages aren't tied to inflation, so the working class keeps falling behind no matter how hard they work.

I don't get how people don't realize that a technology that replaces junior and entry level positions in a field destroys that field. There's no skipping steps. You have to be a junior before you can be a senior, and if you don't have senior people, you don't have a field.

Decades of asking for Carousel of Progress to get updated and the monkey paw retracts

Worth remembering that any time I refer to “it happening,” I’m talking about an official English release of Mother 3

The MGS3 remake has brought up a talking point I hear a lot about when it comes to these type of remakes, that they are more accessible than there originals. But is that true really? Getting your hands on an old PS2 and a copy of MGS 3 for it doesnt have any real hurdles.

Up until July I was here for the last almost 2 years. We had an incredible team, concept and were executing on it. We were so early and yet had so many core things in already that made the game fun. But the whole industry right now is just....ya know. This feels like the one that got away.

Ohtani coming off the mound sweating like a pig and remembering he's leading off for the third time today.

To Kill A Tom Clancy's Mockingbird

Well this is it. I was let go from Crystal Dynamics as Perfect Dark was cancelled. I am now out of a job. I genuinely dont know what to do at this moment but to frantically apply for as many jobs that are applicable. If anyone needs a Senior Environment Artist of 10+ years, please let me know.

I would 1000% rather put my efforts into producing content for something like this than apply it to most other commercial efforts. Sadly, at this time, we dont have enough resources to make this. Hoping the pendulum swings back the other way soon so we can get back to doing this from 50 years ago

A very important read, this one is - in regards to both the history of the medium itself and how political actions can affect our wider culture.

Chrono Cross ~ クロノ・クロス (1999) Developed by Squaresoft.

My wife just made a revelation. Zohran Mamdani sounds like Tina Belcher. Next time you watch a Mamdani video just close your eyes and listen. You'll know in your heart she was right.

When NHK asked Nobuo Uematsu about his inspiration in composing Final Fantasy VII's "One-Winged Angel," he said "I wondered what it would be like if I combined the rock of Jimi Hendrix with the orchestra of Igor Stravinsky."

If you swap animal morphing kids with space marines, Halo and Animorphs are basically telling the same story

The Legend Of Dragoon ~ レジェンド オブ ドラグーン (1999) Developed by SCEI.

If you ever feel down by the reception of your art just remember: Seal's hit song Kiss from a Rose, one of the top songs of the 1990s, had been released 2 years prior, with it's own music video and had been attached to ANOTHER film, and got zero traction until Batman Forever gave it a spotlight
