I'm always posting this quotation from Umberto Eco

It's impossible to watch certain, recent shows without thinking "they're fitting every plot point they can into the first season because they're fucking terrified of cancellation before they can tell their story"

anon, never change

Aimlessly flipping through Urusei Yatsura chapters this morning and I came across this absolute banger of a panel.

Cheering out loud for both of these kings

this man's face absolutely destroys me

holy shit yall lmao

don’t meet your heros. i finally saw the critters from redwall irl and they don’t even talk. they’re just pissing and shitting everywhere.

Last call for questions! We record in just under four hours, so if you have any Fatal Twelve/death game/Novel Not New questions you'd like us to answer, now's the time.

Doing this today and tomorrow btw twitch.tv/obsidian

Retro-bit was caught stealing fan-translation patches and selling them as repro carts. Absolutely disgusting.

God. The Haruka section of Yakuza 5 might have some of the best drama we’ve seen in the series. What a game

Goal: 635/750 One week to go. I just need a little bit more to get through the rest of it. 🙏 Donate: ko-fi.com/jebwrench 💕💸

Just two more days before we record! We’d love some questions about Fatal Twelve, death games as a genre, or anything else we’ve covered for Novel Not New before

Update: Miller and SAG-AFTRA have elaborated their positions in messages to Game Developer. "A game of HADES' size and notoriety leaves me vulnerable to AI cloning outside of their ecosystem, and a non-union contract gives me no teeth to enforce it unless I have money," Miller said.

This week in Xenosaga, @nocartridge.bsky.social and I gear up to go head to head against -- GRAPE FEMTO!! It's a boss fight extravaganza followed by some big revelations as we blast our way into the end game! youtu.be/VGGadyUmAZY?...

I am so excited to be on Divey this season. We talk about parenting styles, the objectification of women and the feminization of inanimate objects, the sex comedy as a trojan horse, and much more as we discuss the first six episodes of Clamp’s iconic Chobits! Please check it out!!

Less being hockey nationalists. More reading queer poetry.

Godddd. The Sun Ce mission in Dynasty Warriors Origins…the misdirection they use actually caught us by surprise. Great game

So now that the world is on fire you come knocking at my door

In semi-related Yakuza news, we played the demo for Rusty Rabbit, and Takaya Kuroda’s voice attached to this adorable but grumpy old rabbit is perfect. The way he casually tosses off McGregor as a swear amuses us to no end.

We’re on to our third character story in Yakuza 5, and it’s ridiculous how much better this game is than 4 (and to some extent, 3). Just like every other developer at the time, it feels like RGG struggled to find their footing during the PS3 years.

why, exactly, are your games not subject to union contracts? that seems like information that is very important here

During the few years where our self-hatred was in its most severe state, we bought and finished GTA V on five different platforms

the prince of all sickos!!!
