I have never ran to update the @nekodesu.radio music library so fast. nkd.su/scatman-ski-... #NekoDesu

Screenshot from Wondance episode 1 showing a PC opened up to a YouTube lookalike playing the music video for "Scatman (Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop)" by Scatman John. The subtitle at the top of the screen is "The singer Scatman John."

It's difficult to overstate the influence Recettear's surprise hit of a digital English release was in terms of getting the Japanese games industry to turn their heads towards PC as a viable release platform.

We all owe a lot to Andrew and his work and I'm so sad to hear this.

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.

A tweet from Robin Light-Williams (@BlondRobin) stating the following: Hello to anyone reading this. I am Robin Light-Williams, formerly lead translator for Carpe Fulgur. I am very sorry to announce that my friend and business partner Andrew Dice, @SpaceDrakeCF, has passed away. Pursuant to that, Carpe Fulgur will be ceasing operations.

First time I've been able to max-out all three of these. A rare moment where I feel like my party compositions aren't total shit, lol

I didn't think too much of this one, but I enjoyed the sequel quite a bit at the time. Curious if it holds up lol

That's correct. You also need to wear a tall hat.

If you activate his ultimate and don't pick a target immediately, he'll rattle off the entire "bone of my sword" nonsense. It's great.
