Nothing new for my Patreon today but one fun fact for those who played Silent Hill f, so they know why I say this:
I think this classic SH4 moment was inspired by 'Yôkai hyaku monogatari' (1968). SH4 was the first Silent Hill to take inspiraton from Japanese art, so it would make a lot of sense.

I believe Super Mario Galaxy took inspiration from Final Fantasy VIII here. Observatory and Balamb Garden, both overworlds, have a similar design. Also the music is a waltz very much like... well, the Waltz for... yes, the Moon, from FFVIII. Even it takes a bit of the Balamb's theme.

Si conocéis gente de Ucrania, conocéis la memoria del Holodomor. Es la historia de sus abuelos y abuelas.
Si creéis que la guerra civil de España aún es relevante, imaginad millones y millones de personas muriendo de hambre por todas partes, forzadas a trabajar por soldados quitándoles la comida.

Negar/justificar el Holodomor.
Pensar que los ucranianos son nazis.
Justificar la invasión rusa diciendo que la OTAN blabla o cualquier otra variante.

The Kirby Air Riders reviews are proving once again most reviewers don't even bother to check wikipedia before writing.
It's insane, they obviously don't even know anything about the first Kirby Air Rider, they just don't care.
Even reviews who gives it a high score, this is not about scores.

Hopefully I can put my hands on Death Stranding 2, Silksong and Kingdom Come 2 very soon
Hades 2, I don't know, I still prefer Bastion to Hades 1.
