Getting PSO onto something modern should be everyone’s mission

ミルキージェームズ (Remastered) @milkman.bsky.social · 14h

This story is one of my favorite ever features I got to out together on one of my favorite games. My mission is to get #PSO (OG version) onto something modern. Follow @designroom.bsky.social for more shenanigans. www.polygon.com/interviews/2...

Phantasy Star Online devs on the story, the graphics, and the angry fans that used to call the office

We continue our retrospective interview series for the game’s 20th anniversary

Ever notice how the folks chasing that bag already got too many bags? They're just hoarding bags.

The only folks following me on Mastodon are the same person with what I assume is a Five Nights at Freddy's avatar making multiple accounts across various instances.

Hayao Nakayama gave Kalinske too much freedom, which can be somewhat reflected in that leaked fiscal year document from a while back. If we had a few more of those that could get leaked, we could see the full extent of that.

I think it was also a lot of hubris from the success of the Genesis.

Not that these sort of interviews and such aren’t important. I just like noticing historical trends.

MercuryCDX @mercurycdx.bsky.social · 17h

Based on how a lot of these oral histories go, I can't wait for some new info to come out ten or twenty years from now that discredits this claim, such as a conflicting report from a different former Sega of America employee or another Sega of America fiscal year report leak.

It is as though they heard my complaints regarding Mejiro Ryan’s design compared to her character and had to play catch up.

New Cinderella Gray chapter dropped in Young Jump, and something tells me people are going to be very normal about Mejiro Ryan's redesign.

If you are willing to throw away entire groups of people to protect your insular strategy that will only protect you instead of protecting everyone then I don’t want your leaders and I sure as hell don’t want to be associated with you.

I hate to say it but the majority of the country is not going to die on the hill of trans rights. We can’t protect ANY groups if we can’t win a national election, so purity tests only serve to make specific groups feel triumphant. That’s not “erasing” them; it’s long-horizon strategy.

Whoever they could license for the otherwise generic sports games (except Ozaki Naomichi no Super Masters, in which case they just replaced Ozaki Naomichi with Arnold Palmer).

Final Blow getting localized and published by Sega is wild when you consider it was a Taito game. Double licensing.

Game Informer wasn't any kinder, describing the game as "A Depressing Mid-Life Crisis" and scoring a 6.5, on a page where Karaoke Revolution, Ultra Bust-A-Move, and DDR Ultramix 2 all outscored it. 😞

Game Informer magazine issue #140 Page 183 showing a review of SEGA's Outrun 2 for Microsoft Xbox, with a score of 6.5 out of 10.

I’ve never forgiven EGM for their OutRun 2 review scores… 👀

Also, OutRun 3 is late… 🚘

Last boost for tonight

My rent is paid, so October starts now for my finances.

Of course, disability pretty much runs out immediately once rent is paid, so I'm going into the month on the ropes.

Plus, it's my birthday month. (The 8th!)

So here's the fundraising.

Making a reminder note that I'm using Mastodon a bit more in the event shit gets worse here than it already is. Do I expect folks to migrate over? No, but as I've mentioned, backup plans. Probably also shouldn't be on mastodon dot social but hopefully it is temporary.

If my sources looked like this for my senior thesis, they would've printed out my BA History diploma only to set it on fire in front of me. But apparently this is good enough to get a book published and sold for real money.

I watched a lot of WCW back in the 90s and let me tell you that Cody Rhodes burning Disco Inferno on Twitter is the only thing I remember about Disco Inferno's career.
