Bumping this up as I've only gotten one so far (thank you to that person tho!) This goes directly to bills (including internet, website hosting & domain name renewals, car registration, gas, the two years of remaining payments on our electric rewire, etc) so again, any help is greatly appreciated!

On an unrelated note, and this is something I really hate doing, I'm still looking for a job and while I'm pulling in some money through my work with @retrobitgaming.bsky.social I'm behind on several bills at the moment and could really use a hand. Please consider donating!

Today is #IndigenousPeoplesDay, so I hope you'll play my work-in-progress game demo about #Choctaw language and culture:
tomatogame.itch.io/halito-tomato

OR if you'd just rather read about the backstory instead, it would make me very happy:
halito.tomato.game/about/

Thanks for your time! YAKOKE!

From the About page for my game/blog - there's a lot more on this page, so please check it out sometime!

From the game - there's not much to the game right now but the Nanih Waiya burial mound is at the center of it all

Fair enough, thanks for going to the trouble to explain. I appreciate knowing you've all tried to get in contact with him. Hopefully he's good and I'm just needlessly nosy! He's done a lot of good, I think a lot of people would hate to lose him.

I apologize if this is insensitive, but is this a tongue in cheek comment about his absence, or did something happen? It's been a while since he posted, but I was hoping he'd just been enjoying his time away from social media...

Whoa, nice! I hope the rest of the PS1 learning goes smoothly.

Curry Rice @courierrice.bsky.social · 6d

I think about this kind of thing constantly, and definitely lie in the "read/play all versions" of the third group. I feel like people want to see art as singular, concrete works, and reject their fluidity in culture. I've even seen people reject translations at all!

From my book about #Undertale 's official English-to-Japanese translation

I'd like to expand on this for an article on my site, so if you have any examples of "imprinting" situations in fandoms, please let me know

Some quick examples include FF4, FF6, Trails in the Sky, what else?

Very pleased with this statement! Hoping that the community becomes a healthier place than it was when I joined, because it certainly has the potential.

I think that transgressive art has a place to be discussed, but RA's reward-driven systems are not at all the ideal place to do so.

The 90s had a lot of missteps but the then-earnest belief in diversity and multiculturalism brought on by post-Cold War optimism was one of it better fruits

[Anime Central 2025] An Interview with Pili, the Puppet Studio Behind Thunderbolt Fantasy

At Anime Central 2025, I received an opportunity to interview Pili, the Taiwanese studio that co-produced Thunderbolt Fantasy. I hope that fans of Thunderbolt Fantasy, fans of Pili, and anyone curious about unique media and entertainment can learn from the in-depth answers they gave. 1) Taiwan has a celebrated tradition of puppet theater, something that is likely unfamiliar to much of the English-speaking audience.
