I wrote an article exploring the Japanese cultural context in Pikmin 2! I’m sure you’ll find it interesting. It’s quite long, but please give it a read! note.com/yawarakaika2...

The worst part of being a Xenoblade fan is constantly having whitewashed Sena thrust into your TL.

Ok that sucks but this is really funny

Every time I find a local establishment that doesn't have a website, only asn Instagram account, I am appalled

*stares at starfox*

Soon there will be many, many people saying You know Star Fox Zero was really good actually

People who say the words "level curve" when talking about Pokemon Gold/Silver are exactly this.

First game I imported. I couldn't find a PAL copy for sale anywhere back in 2011.

Sweet potato fries with chopped walnuts, pancetta, brocolli and a walnut and blue cheese sauce.

I like the Switch 2 UI sound design. Here's a little video about it.

This. 💯 Would you bring store-bought dough to your local baker? Would you hand a printed recap to a guide in a museum? Would you give randomly found wood to a carpenter? ... Just to make the bread / tour / furniture cheaper?

Starting September 2026, Google will block any Android app whose developer hasn't registered and provided government ID. This affects all apps, not just Play Store apps. F-Droid calls it an "existential threat." @keepandroidopen.bsky.social #KeepAndroidOpen keepandroidopen.org

They are so, SO desperate for people to resub. PLEASE don't resub your Nitro everyone. Props if you aren't already subbed, props if you were subbed and you unsub right now. NOTHING changes unless a company FEARS for their bottom line. Feel free to use Discord still, but don't give them a penny. 💖

Caramelised onion and tomato soup with sourdough and gruyere.

I wonder how many people will read the rules before applying, and see that they agree to let Sony do whatever they want with your likeness?

nintendo should make a new zelda with bump combat and never ever hint at it ever just to fuck with absolutely everyone

Happy anniversary to peak

It's midnight here, and today was trans day of visibility. So I'll just say, if you're trans, you absolutely must transition no matter the cost. Nobody should have to go on lying to themselves. If you have to hide for a while until you're safe, fine, but find a way. You can be whole. Much love.

The thumbnail/title that I prefer always loses the A/B test... 🚬

#RandomGameSaturday Really nice reversible cover on this one.

I've been blasting Twin Fantasy from my bedroom a lot recently, so my housemate made a very thoughtful card for my birthday, love it 💜 And yah it was my birthday this week lol

On the 26th of February 2026, ZUN held his monthly drunk radio stream. As usual, @tara_touhou collected some interesting quotes from the stream. I'll be translating some of them. I'll also include some moments that I watched on my own. A thread 🧵

I say this as a professional who came up from fan translation and has friends at Sega who will likely never get to work on this officially: when you fan translate ANYTHING that was previously untranslated, you have a deep, heavy responsibility in setting people's first and typically only impression.

Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth for #RandomGameSaturday I grabbed this during a NIS America clearance. It came with some Persona Arcana cards which are, uh, in a shoebox somewhere in my house.

I don't recall paying €20 to play a GBA game back on Wii U

Huge day for grifters

Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story for #RandomGameSaturday. Top 3 DS game for me, at least until I play Strange Journey and Radiant Historia.

Steel yourselves - the Harry Potter Universes Beyond is inevitable. It will start with a Secret Lair and sell out in nanoseconds, then blossom into a main set. To assist those of you that play MTG, I will pre-write some excuses for you. When (not IF) it happens, feel free to use them.

Mold growing on some of my games 🤢 Guess the last house I lived in was too humid. You wouldn't even notice unless you hold it against the light a certain way. I'm taking today to wipe all my discs with distilled water and a microfibre cloth.

#RandomGameSaturday This boxart is so funny. It's like, mere hours before it went to print, they suddenly became scared that nobody would buy the game if they weren't promised the ability to pilot a powerful robot.

I think it's tragic that physical media basically doesn't exist in the realm of PC gaming anymore and we don't talk about it enough. I would ditch my PS5 in a heart beat if PC games got physical releases.

I am so so grateful for music. Every day can be wonderful, thanks to music.

FF7 Remake activates my Rebuild of Evangelion PTSD

That Manawave art may just be Hiroo Isono's finest work

#ScanlineSunday Cool aesthetic, great music, brutal challenge but secret broken strats to discover, generous checkpoints... This one's a classic. Castlevania // MiSTer FPGA NES core // RGB scart 240p // Panasonic PAL consumer CRT

#RandomGameSaturday Of all the games I played in my teenage years, this is my number 1 favourite! I have many, many fond memories of crawling through caves and reading the Piklopedia while listening to rain hit the windows on a cold winter's night.
