this is a good read on rgg's insistence on pointless and often worse remakes, but to have a highlight of the article be the recasting of rikiya and not once mention the recasting of hamazaki to proven fucking sex pest teruyuki kagawa is bewildering

Yakuza Kiwami 3 and the Case Against Game Remakes

Yakuza Kiwami 3's changes to Rikiya is another sign that the games industry is too quick to rewrite its past through remakes.

It would take a million years of evolution – or a total reversal in the condition of the world – for your pain to end.

YOU'RE RIGHT

if something cannot be appreciated/enjoyed with prior knowledge of its twists, then the twists probably aren't great

100 Meters is very easily comparable to Look Back. But I think it touches on something more universal—not just for athletes, but for anyone with the courage to pick themselves up from success and failure and try again.

My review:

Like Look Back, 100 Meters scratches the itch of watching two people from wildly different walks of life wrestle with maintaining their passion. But where Tatsuki Fujimoto’s work spirals into grief and artistic obsession, 100 Meters stays grounded in the purity of the 100-meter dash, a brutally simple sport where runners have just ten seconds to prove they’re the fastest and etch their name into history. If someone’s a hair quicker, or your body fails you, you’re forgotten in the blink of an eye.

Although 100 Meters flirts with the ephemeral glory of being the best in a sport predicated on “who’s on top right now” over who once was, it never wallows in the futility of the Sisyphean pursuit of greatness. Even in its most agonizing defeats and major setbacks, it refuses to become grim. Instead, it finds beauty in the act of picking yourself back up and starting again—to compete not for legacy, but for love. For the joy of movement, and to run shoulder to shoulder with the like-minded people beside you.

Stop Caring covers indie games (sometimes)

we have no pull in the industry but we're passionate writers with an equally passionate audience. Also, we hate fascists and pull no punches.

Stop Caring

A publication about video games focused on the ways they evoke unique cultural conversations as well as the personal lessons we can learn from them as artistic media.

repost this if an editor has ever saved you from yourself

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.
