I’m a pointless human being with no insight worth a damn. I’m a fraud with no history to speak of other than several chances I wasted and mistakes I’ve made.
My only saving grace is that I’m trying my best, and I doubt I’m even doing that anymore.
Douglas, my cat, doesn’t care about any of that.

A great deep dive on RE4's translation, and the conclusion that... very little was changed in tone or meaning from Japanese.
All it takes is one weird nerd starting a rumor of 'bad localization' to get Reddit riled up, but it takes this kind of borderline-obsessive comparison to disprove anything.

I first played RE4 in 2023 and instantly fell in love with Leon's character. But apparently, when the OG came out, some fans blamed the EN translation for changing his character. In this month's blog, I set out to uncover if this was truly the case.

Did Resident Evil 4’s English Translation Really Butcher Leon’s Character?
A huge part of the original Resident Evil 4’s charm lies in its dialogue. Its script is chock-full of corny one-liners and cheesy comebacks, courtesy of its wisecracking protagonist, Leon S. Kenned…

Oh hey, it was the 30th anniversary of the release of Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness yesterday! It's an important milestone game, especially for the further popularisation of RTS games and for mid-90s PC multiplayer gaming.
I have a lot of love for Warcraft II, mostly from the PS1 version.

I’m in two minds over the Battlefield winter event.
It’s apparent a lot of work has gone into it from new mechanics design through to ample environment and sound work. It’s good fun and should be applauded.
But it does feel that doing this on two infantry only maps misses the point of BF a bit.

Oh, wow, apparently the third Quake Brutalist Jam got over SIXTY maps submitted. And one of them is a three-hour-long monster. And there's some other beefy ones in there too.
For comparison, the original Quake was 30 maps long and none were especially big. Easily the biggest community project yet.
