For God's sake, Canada's notwithstanding clause shouldn't be used to harm the most marginalized in our society, it should only be used passive aggressively by Quebec to protest the Constitution Act of 1982

Wow! This issue of gM contains interviews with some of Leaf's key staff in the late 90s, including Tatsuya Takahashi/Toru Minazuki (the writer and artist behind the company's Visual Novel Series) and Naoya Shimokawa (one of Leaf's founders and composers). Careful though, the magazine is NSFW.

I reposted a bunch of games I typed up from books and magazines today. This one is special though. It is literally 11 lines of BASIC code and it is addictively fun. It was created by 田垣勝久. The people who create these are amazing and I feel honored to be able to bring their games to life for others.

Oh thaaaaat's what they mean by Family Computer

Mail day incl. a 250,000JPY dvd collection

The impulse to say that erotica CAN'T say anything of value, that porn MUST be mindless indulgence, is an extension of this problem by the way. Sex and kink are just parts of life. Art that explores both primarily can touch on other subjects meaningfully as well. Stop trying to silo everything.

Some things in the pipeline

The second article is about the almost mythical Tolkien-inspired text adventure Ringen. It turns out almost everything previously "known" about this game was wrong. We have the full story, and a playable version of the game.

There's a great feature on Studio Imadio, they did Desire, the EVE games, Exodus Guilty and others. Also a nice character gallery for Sentimental Grafitti
