New piece for start menu! I wrote about the history of Final Fantasy Tactics rom hacks, and where they now stand following the release of The Ivalice Chronicles.

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.

I'm honestly shocked to see this Kickstarter struggling. Everyone I know that has tried the demo has been gushing about this one.

I suggest you try that demo.

glad I watched some gialli beforehand, you can see how the filmmakers are taking influence while doing their own thing

Andes Chucky @wendeego.bsky.social · 9h

having watched black christmas last night, what sticks out to me is that it’s as much like duck amuck as it’s a horror movie. no rhyme, no reason, just a bunch of ordinary people killed in a supposedly safe place while the world around them does nothing

My playthrough of Hugo's House of Horrors is now up on YouTube! I remember seeing shareware copies of this one beside the register at Software Etc. back in the day, and I'm glad I finally got a chance to play it.

Makoto Yukimura was worried that Vinland Saga's farming arc and "I have no enemies" moment was a gamble that readers wouldn't like. I told him about the J. Cole meme from the Kendrick Lamar and Drake rap beef. This is how he reacted.

If “I have no enemies” has become a meme and people remember it, then maybe people will understand what I’m really trying to say through the story, which is that humans are immature, but we can mature. To become mature is to become kind. This is the foundation of what I’m trying to say, but it really has to be much shorter for people to remember. But it does give me hope that people remember these short phrases as memes. Then, one day, it will click in their mind what I was trying to really say in the first place.
