YAAAAAAAAAAAAY BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I have seen a lot of foreigners in Japan respond to the well-meaning「おはし上手ですね」with an indignant「ナイフとフォーク上手ですね！！」and I promise you this is not the burn you think it is

I am tired of being listless and am fully prepared to be listful, to be positively lousy with lists

Someone took the liberty of enfabulating my Komeda menu with colorful stickers 💎

1400 words on the death of the monoculture for my patrons, all of whom smell like a lavender breeze www.patreon.com/posts/139251...

oh not much, just sitting down to TERRY ITO'S CHACARONI

I hate that I've started to think of writing as a thing I should be "saving" for video essays, so I'm making an effort to do more blogging over on the Patreon... starting with these musings on a couple of upcoming games! (New X in 10 just dropped today too!!) patreon.com/pitohui

these cafes are insane

You don't need the Japan Post app to print int'l shipping labels at the Post Office, but I was a fool to think I wouldn't need it for domestic ones

My thoughts on the Switch Virtual Boy (but also limited editions with big fuck-off statues, box sets inside a 1:1 Olmec head, new video game hardware, anything that has mass really)

Kiefer looks like when they draw gaijin different in anime just to make absolutely sure you know they're not Japanese

Live now! Killing time with famous video game Superb Mario and ranking the Superhunks

I'll be live-streaming reactions to the Nintendo Direct in 6.5 hours! I don't even own a Switch 2 but I do love the energy of ANNOUNCEMENTS twitch.tv/hoodedpitohui

NoMoWo drop spotted in the wild (I actually didn't know it was from this)

Never became as popular as "ET Phone Home" did it

hey so I *did* just have a second child and while things aren't dire around here I still think it'd be cool if you bought the video game I made

This advertisement for the BOSS Dragon Quest tie-in campaign shows all the NPCs that help the player in Dragon Quest III. There are 583 characters in the mural. I wonder if we all encounter about 580 people that help us in our lives and if a significant number of them are canned coffee drinkers?

jeet yet kune do, the martial art you can do on an empty stomach

I borrowed this book on acting from the library and it's already got my attention

Have you been described by friends and loved ones as "different," "asinine," or just... "a lot?" The NoMoWo podcasts and discord are waiting for you! linktr.ee/NoMoreWhoppers

Finally watched this video from @pitohui.org after recommendation from @mcstronghuge.bsky.social FF11 was a game I wanted to love, and that I bouced off of so hard. Alex not only explains why, but still lets me feel the things I would have loved about it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=g37q...

Alex perfectly expresses what it means to "like two things", how that can enrich the experience of both XI and XIV, and give deeper understanding to the arc of Square's design philosophy. A must-watch whether you play the MMOs, you're on the fence, or you dismiss them outright as "the online ones"

Alex does good shit that I can't imagine anyone else doing. Well worth your time.

“Relics & Rock Stars: Appreciating Final Fantasy XI & XIV” is now available for all on YouTube! #FFXI sickos and #FFXIV weirdos are two sides of the same gil, yet some of us make up the whole-ass coin. This video essay reconciles the living fossil with the successor that yet hurtles into the future.

our new podcast about video game anime is three episodes old! please enjoy it on this official american holiday

I was out of the country when this Pokémon campaign started and now every Komeda in the city is out of Snorlax's salsa chicken katsu sandwich

I wish the freelance sites I use didn't bug you constantly to reply to bogus messages about shitty jobs because I am not giving the time of day to "URGENT youtube video narration amateurs and housewives welcome ¥1/word L@@K"

What are some of the go-tos for royalty-free BGM now that Kevin Macleod's drinking the AI blood from that Temple of Doom head chalice?

yakiniku on the river

every time we come to Ōtoya we joke about the ドリンクベー

I cannot overemphasize this to any studio using AI

"we need to make games quicker" motherfucker humanity could stop making video games tomorrow and I'd still have enough to play for the rest of my life, go generate a prompt asking how to eat shit

Come hang out while I gather clips for this video essay! Turtles in Time! Iron Tank! Super Punch-Out!! twitch.tv/hoodedpitohui
