I read this because I got fed up with recs I got from relatives and needed to clear my head (note to self: don't bother when the author mentions booktok in the preface)

we all know I have no life, so:
I love that Pragmata reviews basically fall into two categories:
9/10: This is a videogame-ass videogame and doesn't let overlong cutscenes get in the way of action and flow.
7/10: The cutscenes and storytelling let the game down and remind us that this is just another videogame-ass videogame.
torn between "we need to soften IP law to stop the calcification of the culture" and "we need to give the Tolkien estate the right to extrajudicially execute these clowns at will"
I think I've said this on the old site too but anyway getting to hear Jamieson Price and Liam O'Brien bicker like an old married couple was one of reasons why I loved that version of the game, lol
guess I should play pragmata especially bc upcoming nier anni is reminding me of how much I miss papa nier
Kamiina Botan has the movie taste of an infant but refined sensibilities for literature and music. You say she's a layered woman who contains multitudes, I say she uses that range to seduce all sorts of women

unironically a beautiful and effective way to keep grifters out. if you get filtered by an anime catgirl popping up for 2 seconds because it's too cringe and gay for you was your heart really in the systems programming?
"Could you turn me into a cat?" the man asked.
The witch gave him a long look. "Why?"
"So I could be your familiar," he said with a grin.
"What an interesting idea! Let me try."
*poof*
"Oops!" the witch said.
She picked up the frog. "Let's get you to a pond."
I made a stream overlay that lets Twitch chat draw my new vtuber into existence.
Each time they tap a section on the screen, they sketch out more of the vtuber.
After being fully colored, the model pops out of the paper and comes to life.

54% - That's the percentage of translators (out of 235 respondents) who only receive minimal or no reference material whatsoever for the games they're working on.
Remember that figure next time you read a translation that sounds off in context!
Japanese garden farmers became Filipino, Chinese laundries became Korean, etc. A number of times racist whites successfully removed or chased away hardworking, successful immigrants, but they couldn't change that they were useless racists who had no stomach for the hard work of building a livelihood
and find some way to stop those immigrants from showing up anymore, e.g. Japanese internment, Chinese exclusion act, but what ultimately happened every time was, rather than taking over this work they coveted and stole, inevitably another wave of different immigrants had to show up to do them
thinking about how historically useless the white supremacists of the West Coast were where, like, a wave of immigrants would show to do a bunch of low paying and difficult jobs and create tons of economic value and build a bunch of businesses, and the white ppl would get mad and steal it all...
“We felt that there were not enough yuri visual novels with extreme themes we were particularly into, so we decided to take it into our own hands.”
Meet 17 queer developers working on "less sugary" and, yes, even "toxic" and "bleak" wlw romance games:
Kojima: I first met Matsuno at the 1998 Tokyo Fantastic International Movie Festival. I was standing in line to see the premiere of Vampires at the Shibuya Parthenon… I was waiting on that spiral staircase there for 8 almost hours. (laughs) Matsuno: That’s right. I never imagined I’d meet you at a place like that! Kojima: We talked movies on that staircase for hours. You said you didn’t mind waiting if it was a movie you really wanted to see. I guessed then, that here’s a guy with the same DNA as me. (laughs) (Translation by Shmuplations)
Hideo Kojima and Yasumi Matsuno (FF Tactics, Tactics Ogre, Vagrant Story) first met while waiting in a long line to see John Carpenter's Vampires on opening night.
