Last week I wanted a really chill JRPG to play, so I started my first Atelier game — Atelier Ayesha DX! It is VERY chill (though some of the characters are extremely annoying) and a lot of fun. But why KT watermarks screenshots I’ll never understand…

I’m always happy to see Criterion adding more Indian films but I wish we could get s/t other than Ray or Nair. Guru Dutt, Bimal Roy, even Yash Chopra (that’s just the Hindi ones)…& there’s so many modern directors / films that would be amazing to showcase on disc! Ratnam, Bhansali, Akhtar, Ranjith…!

TIL the name of this game is Sektori and not Sekitori like I thought bc I’m too sumo-pilled…
Sektori is one of the best games I’ve played all year. Design perfection, a fantastic soundtrack, it’s almost impossible for me to put down. I need every sicko reading this to play it. For @aftermath.site aftermath.site/sektori-shoo...

I need every sicko reading this to play Sektori right now.

Terrible weekend but I did play some Air Riders. Weird and chaotic and confusing so naturally I like it.

I’d like to have the 3DS home menu as the main way to emulate and run 3DS games on the Thor, but in practice it’s a little annoying / inefficient. Plus if you want to play games from different regions you have to have two emulators set up…it looks super cool, though.

A tour de force of minimalist design! Absolute marvelous exercise in the power of ellipsis! Also? Just really fun!

Cannot recommend this game enough to anyone who wants to see some of the best JRPG designers narrow the genre down to the very core pieces. Amazing, amazing, amazing.
