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.
An 18 year old Ukrainian named Mykola Lemyk killed a Soviet agent in Lviv to make the world see the Holodomor that Moscow was hiding.

Cosas como:

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

Simplemente deja de seguirme, por favor, sin ningún problema.
Te invito amablemente a que me dejes de seguir, sin preguntas absurdas ni perder el tiempo, si apoyas en lo más mínimo a rusia, o tienes el más mínimo odio hacia Ucrania.

Escribiré a partir de ahora en inglés/ucraniano principalmente, si eso te molesta, por favor, deja de seguirme sin más.

No me puedo tomar en serio los Golden Joystick Awards cuando han sido mejor juego del año cosas como Fortnite y Wukong, mejor juego de todos los tiempos Dark Souls, o mejor hardware una NVIDA GeForce.

Al menos el Geoff va a calzón quitao, al puro show, sin máscaras, dando todo igual.

This is the city I've wanted to live in for years, and a place where I know families living through hell.

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.

Expedition 33 is basically a 10/10 for me.
I will start to play DK Bananza this week

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.

Odiar a rusia, sin embargo, es de personas con sentido común y hace de este mundo un lugar más coherente.
