Y’all have GOT to stop uncritically sharing Stealth’s posts without checking your sources! I can’t find a source for when and where Miyamoto supposedly said this or who translated it ANYWHERE and yet my timeline is flooded with takes on it.

I'm old enough to remember when Stealth used to harass my colleagues at RPGFan (of course, mostly the women).

Been making a Hades II run part of my morning ritual to get the adrenaline and dopamine flowing, and… I think there might be something to this. Brain chemicals are all kinds of wacky. Also the game is pretty good too (read: almost certainly my goaty, how the heck do they keep making perfection)

D&D with the crew has been so much fun. I’m playing a gnome warlock named Karmit who is inexplicably green, and he’s been resourceful enough to keep not one, but TWO taco halves, both of which have come in handy to some degree. Former President of France Jacques Chirac is in the party, also

I think the biggest takeaway with Hades II is that more games need a funky flute. Just smother me with that Jethro Tull

I love FFT’s writing and voice acting, but I wish all my dudes didn’t sound like the village idiot. “Doohoohoo” sounding ass, crawled out of a gutter ass blokes. Come on.

All right, Windows, you’ve overstayed your welcome for the last time. The only reason I went back to this disaster of an OS is because of Wilds (which still runs like garbage on any setup) and Linux instability on RDNA 4 GPUs (should be fully fixed in CachyOS)

Hopping between three games with exceptional writing (Silksong, Hades 2, FFT) is kind of a crazy treat. A feast, even

They brought the post back lol. Finish the job. Ban Singal. Rescue your platform.

The actual post is still available in the repo. Normally, when a post is deleted, it's removed outright with no way to get it back. pdsls.dev/at://did:plc... It doesn't appear in the timeline feed or the post thread API. They may be actively blocking it in the most stupid way possible, lol.

Hey everyone. I’ll be honest, I’ve run out of rope on this “being a writer” business, to the point where my site either takes off, now, or I start applying for whatever local shop/cleaning jobs are available. This isn’t a “threat”, just an honest statement of where I am. Sorry. ko-fi.com/kimimi

Man, I love Final Fantasy Tactics (MILFFT)

You know, it was really Monster Hunter Wilds that pushed me to go back to Windows, but (and I hate to be A Gamer about this) I’m done with that game until they appreciably improve its performance. The sooner I can rid my life of Microsoft’s (and I hate to be A Nerd about this) poison, the better

No.1 Dutch cowboy booster @cleefouti.bsky.social said "what if Revolver Ocelot [Metal Gear Solid 1998-2015] really looked like Lee Van Cleef"

Wrote about the end of CITY: The Animation and how it once again raised the bar of brilliant animation, design, music, and sheer imagination to breathe life into Arawi's world. Many thoughts about an all-timer production & how it might connect to KyoAni's future blog.sakugabooru.com/2025/09/29/c...

I can’t believe CITY Sunday is over forever. Also go watch CITY if you haven’t

RIP Kaleb Horton kalebhorton.ghost.io/2025-so-far/

Struggling to find the words, but he was a huge inspiration to me when I began my localization journey, and was one of the very first people who encouraged me to break into the industry after the Danganronpa fan TL. I’d later have the opportunity to work alongside him. Rest well, buddy

Absolutely devastated by this news. SpaceDrake was no doubt a huge influence in drumming up interest for Japanese indie games localized into English and pushing for them on digital distribution storefronts like steam. Huge loss. Might be time for another playthrough of Recettear in his honour.

Fuck Microsoft regardless, but it’s about goddamn time

Microsoft will no longer allow Israel to use its cloud services to enable its mass surveillance of occupied Palestinians – "the first known case of a US technology company withdrawing services provided to the Israeli military since the beginning of its war on Gaza"

Sure, I’m sick to death of remakes and remasters, but MAN OH MAN I cannot wait to play Final Fantasy Tactics again

That’s what’s up

Whoa, Elder’s new EP whips www.youtube.com/watch?v=PavA...

I was BEYOND excited that Simon & Schuster chose me to do the copyediting on Kamala Harris's new book. I'm legally bound not to show you too much before its September release, but they allowed me to share a small sneak behind the curtain at the process of editing such a monumental work.

I’d been away from my geetars for about a week and a half and my fingers are really feelin’ it, but I’ve managed to learn how to play one of Nothing’s songs (“The Dead Are Dumb”) and that feels kiiiinda sick. Crazy how quickly muscle memory kicks in

If you really think about it, The Wizard of Oz was the world’s first vtuber

I am growing out what I can only describe as a “doom metal beard.” I am embracing the grey hairs as a symbol of wisdom and perseverance and monumental riffs

Wrote about the lengthy, bold production of CITY: The Animation. What Keiichi Arawi's active role in the process meant materially but also ideologically, the outstanding commitment to a style, and why this show kicks ass on levels rarely ever seen before blog.sakugabooru.com/2025/09/20/c...

Dudes rock

I typed "the ugly guy from radiohead" into my search bar and DuckDuckGo asked me "which one"

it feels so good to write again, to play games again, after the worst year of my life. i picked a ridiculous game (that i love!) to relearn controller skills with, but taking my time makes it possible aftermath.site/silksong-hol...

Apropos of not all that much, two of the most important lessons that have been hammered into my brain throughout my life: 1) it's never too late, and 2) there will never be a perfect time/place/opportunity so just fuckin' do it already

My weigh-in on game difficulty discourse is that difficulty, too, is aesthetic in nature. Everything in game design is about crafting an experience, including giving the players a struggle time; to make them feel hardship in a controlled environment. It's totally a valid way to make a game.

i need to move to a country that is experiencing mass religious psychosis, violent civil rights erosion, and a hyperconsolidation of economic and political power among the moneyed elite. But I ALSO need it to be opposed in name only by a coalition of feckless aristocrats. Does anyone know of one?

Welp, this is the second insanely good band I've discovered just before their sophomore album drops! I've gotta keep up this streak. All hail the Rat Queen www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWKm...

Whoops! I'm watching the 2015 Kotaro Uchikoshi anime Punch Line again, and it still rules
