Happy Birthday to Woyu Cao! 🎂🎁🎈

Born on this day in 1959, Woyu is one of the first people Ryo meets when arriving in Hong Kong, and challenges him to take part in an arm wrestling challenge! 💪

Wanted to feature some of my favorite capsule toys from this week's 6 Hour #Shenmue View 👍

Some find them disturbing I think they are quirky/fun haha 😆

Let's hear it for Shenhua! This week's #ThrowbackThursday is a gorgeous illustration of Shenmue's other leading character, and comes from the huge collection of design artwork that was uncovered earlier this year. Sketches like these bring us a lot of joy. ☺️

New job I began early summer requires an analogue wristwatch, so naturally I got a Timex Expedition! Found one pretty damn close to Ryo's from the original duology!

Bless her! Nozomi's grandmother Toki-san is still hard at work late into the night, sweeping up the pavement outside the flower shop and keeping things tidy. You've got to admire the dedication, but don't overwork yourself.

Good morning Shenmue fans! A new week brings new opportunities, but don't forget to take some time for yourself; even if it's a short walk enjoying the sounds of the outside world... and Ryo's footsteps, the man is an absolute unit! 😂

Shenhua takes Ryo to the stone pit, where Mr Yuan works hard as a stone mason. But when they get close, Shenhua feels that something isn't quite right...

Maybe she sensed she'd be stuck in that cave for the next 18 years? 😅

A screenshot from Shenmue II showing Ryo and Shenhua walking towards a cliff face. A large mine entrance leads within the cliff. On either side of the path is an old wooden fence.

I wrote a long article about Rieko Kodama, her career at Sega, the evolution of her company, the games she worked on (including some canceled games and/or games for which she is not credited), the status of women and working conditions in the video game industry, etc.
vgdensetsu.net/riekokodama/

Illustration: a portrait of Rieko Kodama with some of the games she has worked on. The dominant colors are yellow, purple and red. Counterclockwise from top left: Rieko Kodama, Alis and Lutz from Phantasy Star, Sonic in a maze, Alex Kidd and his motorbike next to Flicky on a waterfront pier, Joe Musashi and his dog near the Statue of Liberty facing a skyline, the three playable characters from Golden Axe seen from behind on the edge of a cliff, and one of the flying ships from Skies of Arcadia.
