it's insane how much of an inspiration nausicaa was for so many massive games. watching it for the first time had me mentally dart between it and early final fantasies like oh, i see.

playing crystalis and it is funny to me that games going "wow cool aesthetics" about ghibil is basically as old as ghibli

The protagonist of Crystalis for the NES fighting an enormous green bug with large bulbous red eyes.

The protagonist of Nausicaa fleeing from an enormous green bug with large bulbous red eyes.

track 7 sounds somewhat like a dungeon/cave level, it's genuinely rather creepy if you're just browsing sonic OSTs and stumble across it lmao.

i find unused tracks on old games fascinating. sonic drift has *seven* seemingly unrelated songs on the cartridge, i went on a whole cohost journey with that. it's most likely just leftovers from cartridge rewrites but cmon, there's a creepypasta just waiting to be unearthed.

this is good! this is exactly what you'd want to see out of this. the full post has more details, but this snippet covers the policy change.

[a quote from the linked post, with custom styling to make the text brighter, and to make bold and italicized text stand out; emphasis is not included in the following alt text]

Hate speech does not belong on RetroAchievements.
Even when disguised as a joke, it normalises real-world hate and harms our community. There is a difference between juvenile humor and outright hate speech. What Pokémon Clover calls humor is hate speech. RetroAchievements will not legitimize bigotry by hosting an achievement set for it.

Content Policy for Achievement Sets
RetroAchievements will no longer approve achievement sets for games that contain:
* Illegal content. Content that is illegal to own or distribute in major jurisdictions.
* Glorified hate speech. Content that intentionally targets individuals or groups based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or other protected characteristics.
* Sexual exploitation. Glorification of sexual assault, non-consensual acts, or child sexual abuse material.
* Extreme or abhorrent content. Content that violates community standards in a way that undermines RetroAchievements’ values.

Games that have been rated by official ratings boards (ESRB, PEGI, or similar organizations) are considered acceptable, as these games have undergone professional content review. The only exception is if a game contains content that is illegal to own or distribute, regardless of its rating status.

Hacks, homebrew, and unlicensed games do not undergo ratings board review and will receive additional scrutiny to ensure compliance with this new policy.

This policy provides guidance, but is not exhaustive. The RA team reserves the right to evaluate games on a case-by-case basis and make determinations in the best interest of maintaining a safe, legal, welcoming, and inclusive community.

it's also fully subsidized which is a fucking relief. estrogen itself always burns but at least i can do butt stuff for free.

leave that "always use best attack" option alone too, you're gonna exercise that mouse hand and you're gonna like it.
