i think konami media is cursed to forever Adapt The Wrong Entry.
Silent Hill really wanted to be SH2.
Netflixvania 1 really wanted to be Symphony.
Netflixvania 2 really wanted to be Bloodlines.

at this rate we should be getting a Metal Gear 1 adaptation that is gonna somehow be Snake’s Revenge.

Six years ago, I wrote most of the Tragedian dialogue for Pathologic 2 in iambic pentameter. I'm back now doing the same for Pathologic 3. I figured it was helpful to write a guide on *how* I did it – in case I get hit by a bus and the team has to carry on without me.

"if you account for inflation, game prices used to be m-"

silence. "accounting for inflation" is for economists and/or perverts and I will do no such thing.

The RPG bug bit me once more, so this time I'm gonna play through MOTHER 1 (using the Restored hack so the encounter rate is fixed)!

I never played it before, so let's see what being friends is all about!

Also Geigue is kinda hot ngl

Come on in!

also now i’m listening to both brave little toaster *and* the ferngully soundtrack, and i think it probably explains a lot about how i turned out.

(jimmy buffet wrote the tone loc song in ferngully?!?!)

THERE GOES THE SUN
HERE COMES THE NIGHT

SOMEBODY TELL ME THAT FATE HAS BEEN KIND

I love this song because it has a really tragic take on what makes some relationships end. It’s beautiful, nuanced, and it makes my heart ache every time I hear it.

Messing around with a translation of Cocco’s 樹海の糸, I stumble upon one of @katrinal10n.bsky.social’s favorite words: 許さない！

I went with this choice because this isn’t about forgiveness, but about letting someone go. Our singer has realized that her relationship and her lover’s goals are incompatible.

atranslated lyrics from Cocco’s Jukai no aito

信じていれば
if i believed,
恐れを知らず
i wouldn’t know fear
独り歩けると知った
I realized I knew how to walk alone

長い手足が
手探りのまま
Fumbling with my long limbs,
森へ迷い込んだ時
I was lost within the woods

深い樹海は暗く
deep within the ocean of trees
祈りのみ込んで
my prayers were swallowed by the darkness

この声を聴いたなら
if you can hear my voice,
泣き叫び目を閉じて
sobbing and shouting, then close your eyes

何ひとつ許さないで
Don’t let a single thing make you waver

あなたさえいなければ
この夢を守れるわ
If it weren’t for you,
i could protect this dream

溢れ出る憎しみを織りあげ
あなたを愛し歌うの
I’ll weave together that overwhelming hatred
and sing a song of love for you

me, not wanting to do chores: i'm the best house cleaner in all of japan

out of nowhere, ken hayakawa:

the character ken hayakawa from 70s show kaiketsu zubat. an ongoing part of the show is characters declaring they are the greatest (golfer, billiards player, trumpet musician, etc) in japan and ken stepping up to declare they are only the second, and he is the best

current verdict: brain lord good????

cannot wait for your reactions to it, and thank you for putting it on my radar. also now contemplating 7th saga, but 日本語で, because fuck that game’s “balance changes”

what’s fucking me up the worst is that Key Words are in the same font as normal text, but… without a blue outline. So it just looks wildly inconsistent.

Town music is groovy as shit, tho

i am a skeleton, not a telepath, buddy. you’re gonna have to look for at least a lich to understand what your watch history is without knowing you, all i can do is see my moot go “i don’t know about this” and respond with info. or huck bones at you, your choice.

okay, so: the dragon slayer games, for all uses and purposes, are just like final fantasy in that what connects them is A Vibe and that’s about it.

this video got me a few layers into regular Xanadu, but hoo boy is that game -hatefully- unforgiving.

Xanadu (PC-88 Paradise) Falcom's original classic, and Japan's must-have 8-bit action RPG of 1985!
