Has anyone reminded to Bandai Namco to make Switch 2 Editions of Little Nightmares & Little Nightmares II in time for this Halloween season?

Bullet Witch, the now defunct studio behind it was Cavia, best known for the Drakengard (Drag-On Dragoon) series and original spin-off Nier as well as Wii's Resident Evil rail shooters "The Umbrella Chronicles" & "The Darkside Chronicles".
Cover art for Bullet Witch, an Xbox 360 game (currently available on Steam by Marvelous, if I'm not mistaken) developed by Cavia, published by Atari. The art shows the titular Bullet Witch Alicia holding her enormous magical gun-weapon, while staring towards the player. The background art features a small bit of a town location but mostly some in game enemies, all of that done by mostly using yellow.

This may have brought some "too cute and precious to me" tears in my eyes... 🥹😺
Photograph with the physical disc of "Stray" being the main subject. It's the PS5 release, the protagonist cat of the game is shown in the art of the disck and it's kind of curled up around the fingerhole present on the Blu-ray disc. It's a a super cute sleepy orange cat and it's precious precious precious!!! Various informations in regards to the game are present as well on top of this gorgeous image. Lastly, with this physical release there are also included a few gorgeous looking cards with in game art, normally they are located on the left side of the case but for the purposes of this photo, and because I wanted to have just the disc as the center of attention while at the same time acknowledging the existence of the gorgeous cards, I've put the cards behind the blue see-through casing of the game. A small part of the front card art is peeking behind the blu-ray disc, with the hooded CRT monitor head and a raised hand of an in-game robot person that sort-of has a speech bubble above them (written with in game pseudolanguage I think), peeking from the top left side of the disc (left from our prospective)!

I would like to take this opportunity to remind people of a few details, so I'm posting here some screen crops from online articles, in regards to the pen names used by Joanne Rowling.
Screen crop from online article reads: But before Harry Potter there was no K in JK Rowling. Her publishers were afraid the target audience of young boys would not want to read a book written by a woman. So they insisted that she use her first to initials. Having no middle name, Rowling opted for Kathleen, from her favorite grandmother, Kathleen Ada Bulgen Rowling. The nom de plume only held cover for a short while, as the meteoric success of Harry Potter meant Rowling attracted more than her fair share of interest from tabloid newspapers. Her middle name has definitely become a lasting part of her identity though: during the UK Leveson Inquiry, she gave evidence under the name of Joanne Kathleen Rowling. Screen crop from online article reads: Subsequently, Rowling represented not just another letter but specifically a tribute to her paternal grandmother Kathleen; this, she's not called J.K. Rowling, even though she has never legally adopted her middle name. Another interesting detail is that secretive yet another pseudonym - Robert Galbraith - for the writing of A Cuckoo's Calling, a crime fiction novel published in 2013. She used its pseudonym so that she distance her work from the Harry Potter series, therefore freeing herself to pursue this type of writing without the baggage of fame. Screen crop from online article reads: While explaining why she writes under her initials, J.K. - whose real name is Joanne - revealed: "My publisher, who published Harry Potter, they said to me, we think this is a book that will appeal to boys and girls. And I said, oh, great. And they said, so could we use your initials?" The author went on to explain that the publishers were basically trying to "disguise" the fact that she was a woman simply because her book might appeal to all genders. But, as J.K. noted, that didn't lasts for long. "The book won an award and I got a big advance from America and I got a lot of publicity," she added. "So I was outed as a woman." Screen crop from online article reads: Despite the fact that she likes her initials, J.K. pointed out that she wouldn't have chosen them for that same reason. At the same time, she was just happy to be published that she was willing to write under any name she had to. "If they told me to call myself Rupert, I probably would have done to be honest with you," she told Christiane Amanpour, adding: "But now, I actually quite like having a pen name, because I feel that's...like an identity and then in private life, I'm Jo Murray. And it feels like quite a nice separation."

After quite some time of completely ignoring my dating profile I was like "You know what, cute photo for dating profile, let me put it up in there. Why not?"!
And then... I made the mistake of spending like 15 extra seconds there reading posts. Enough time to find someone bummed by peoples rights.
Just a decent selfie of myself while wearing a cute new brown sweater. I need to lose weight and get my hair & eyebrows done. Screen crop of a post that some jackass posted on a dating app. It's written in Greek and it loosely translates to: #chill Dating apps [note from me:it's required in that app to have a tag and a title for each post] You see profiles with some fine ass pussy around here, as well as tinder, or bumble, and then when you see that coincidentally (!!!) 95% of them are into talking about human rights, supposed social injustices etc, you understand that ANYTHING THAT GLOWS ISN'T GOLD... [note from me: what I translated as "fine ass pussy", was a Greek vulgar word for vagina, which in this case was contextualy similar to how someone would use the phrase "fine ass pussy" 🙄 also they used asterisks ** to sensor that term in their original post] Βάζω και το πρότυπο εδώ: #χαλαρή Dating apps [σημείωση από εμένα: είναι υποχρεωτικό σε εκείνη την εφαρμογή να βάζεις tag και τίτλο στην κάθε ανάρτηση] Βλέπεις κάτι προφίλ με **ναρες είτε εδώ, είτε tinder, είτε bumble, κι όταν βλέπεις ότι όλως τυχαίως (!!!) το 95% αυτών γουστάρει να μιλάει για ανθρώπινα δικαιώματα, δήθεν για κοινωνικές αδικίες κλπ, καταλαβαίνεις ότι Ο,ΤΙ ΛΑΜΠΕΙ ΔΕΝ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΧΡΥΣΟΣ...

I would like to voice the wish of a couple of amazing people I know, a) because I find them amazing and b) because I would be very very much interested on a remaster of that game as well (I have memories of my older brother playing that game).
Key Art of 3D mystery adventure "Gabriel Knight 3: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the damned"! Sierra & Troika studio logos are present. I still find it a "bit" sexy to this day and I am mildly judging me on that front.

New profile photo!
So I'm posting this in case anyone needs this as a reminder in order to understand which random profile, from the endless void of social media profiles, they recognize me as.
Kind of a close-up self-taken photo of myself while standing on a balcony during a sunny day. This was several kilos (or pounds) ago. And after a more recent trip (at the time) to the hairdresser. Kind of a distant, self-taken photo of myself, wearing my "Midnight Black" PlayStation Pulse (black color) and staring at the bluesky (Ha!Ha!Hu!!! I said the thing) while standing on a balcony during a windy & sunny weather. (Hello there lady, hefty to see ya!) P.S. I need to find a new hairdresser, the one I was going to has closed 😢... I wish them the best.

Behold!
The critical miss dice roll that resulted in this icon to be chosen for "Lost in Random" (RD)...
(I mean, it's certainly lovely for some UI's, but for Switch is quite hard to ignore one or two issues)
A screen capture of my Nintendo Switch (OLED) home menu. The famous Basic White theme is used here. The star of the show is the icon for the game "Lost in Random". The full title isn't present on the icon, instead "LR" with a crown on top is illustrated. Nicely stylized, with a moody dark background. Interestingly a white layout is present on the icon,a layout that attempts to give a presentation similar with what you could see in other UI's, where the icon would have carved/rounded "corners". It doesn't quite work here.... Some of my other purchased games are casually present as well, like "-Demo- MINA THE HOLLOWER", "The House of the Dead Remake", "Strange Brigade" and "51 Worldwide Games" A screen capture of my Nintendo Switch (OLED) home menu.

Actually, it's BAYONETTA, so it was 100% perfect to begin with.
Now it's 104%, more perfect than perfect 💜
So same as this new GVG video.
A scene from the series "The Good Place" is represented in four different panels. In the first panel a character says "Obviously, it's impossible for something to be more perfect than perfect-". In the subsequent three panels a different character replies: 2nd panel "Well, it isn't, actually." 3rd panel "Any place or thing in the universe can be up to 104% perfect." 4th panel "That's how you got to Beyonce.". End of story.

And once again here's a photo of the piece of paper I used in order to write down some of my favorites and figure out my top 10 PS4 games.

If you manage to look up what's left of the games Steam page, it's clear the developers were aware of the situation. I do really hope the people involved got or are going to get a chance to create more stuff with greater results.
A screenshot from "Chasing Dead" Steam page (mobile browser). Some of the info include: Developer & Publisher 2020 Venture, Released 3 Mar. 2016 Big price drop ($USD 24.99 to $USD 9.99) until we release a new version with more futures and fix a few issues. Chasing dead is a story-based, Sci-fi/Horror First-Person Action Shooter. [url][/url] The game begins with a strange phenomenon in which another Earth appears in our skies. Tags Action Adventure Indie Zombies Reviews Mixed (61% of 221 ALL TIME) A screenshot from "Chasing Dead" Steam page (mobile browser), a few screenshots of the game are present with the main one showing the inside of an airplane in bad conditions (it's from the first stage of the game). Various information and prompts are present as it's usual with this part of Steam pages, I would draw focus to the part in which usually you have a prompt to click and purchase the game, instead there's a label that says "Notice: Chasing Dead is no longer available on the Steam store.".

#Nintendo #Sumer #Pikmin
Screen crop from the Nintendo Today app, the date is 29/June/2025 and the art of the day depicts a Red Pikmin witch is calm, relaxed, chill just laying there.... While it's surrounded by a FIRE RING!!! (which to be fair, is a perfectly suited environment for a Red Pikmin, less so for humans who probably are able to relate to the fire ring depiction on a summer day)

For crying out loud...
I was looking up online for articles in English (so that I won't have to translate stuff myself) that mention/explain some of the right issues here in Greece.
And yet... I somehow managed to stumble across even more UK propaganda... Bloody hell!
Screen crop from letuspray.uk: What does it ban? The amendment makes it illegal to carry out ‘conversion practices’ on anyone under 18, or who is classed as vulnerable. It says that non-vulnerable adults receiving ‘conversion therapy’ must give their explicit consent in advance. Screen crop from letuspray.uk: Religious freedom This campaign defends the ordinary work of churches. The ordinary work of churches is not therapy. The ban in Greece is focused on what it calls 'treatments'. Nonetheless, it is unclear what the consequences of the ban will be for Christians in Greece. Greek campaign group ‘Orlando LGBT+’ claims that church representatives are not covered in some aspects of the ban. This is likely to be the case as they would presumably not be regarded as ‘professionals’ under its definitions. However, given the vagueness of the definition provided, it is unclear whether or not the ordinary work of churches could still be mistakenly considered ‘conversion practices’ for under-18s and vulnerable people. Screen crop from letuspray.uk: Activists continue campaign Orlando LGBT+ accused the Greek Government of using the amendment merely to produce an ‘inclusive image’, rather than actually doing what activists wanted. As the ban allows adults to consent to ‘conversion practices’, and due to the brevity of its definitions, the group has promised to continue to campaign for a replacement for the ban. It provides a warning for UK lawmakers. No one is pleased with a law that lacks clear definitions. And a ban will not satisfy the activists until it clearly applies to the ordinary work of churches. Of course, the ordinary work of churches is protected by human rights laws. So what the activists want is legally impossible. But that will not stop them from trying.
