God I'm so tired of my job, kinda want them to laid me off but also there's no jobs so no I want to keep it but I'm so tired. The storms need to stop because people can't stop calling please stop for a minute.

I'm trembling while writing this: Kamaitachi no yoru—not the PC remake, not the iOS port, but the actual original SFC version—has been translated at last by ButThouMust, who graciously brought us an English patch for Otogirisou in the past. This is HISTORICAL.

Got Type Lumina because it was cheap and I was curious, though I've never played a Melty Blood game and... THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE.

Screenshot of the game Melty Blood: Type Lumina. It shows the character select screen, with the character The Count Of Monte Cristo selected.

I love Jobless Siblings/Hatarakanai Futari. Most of the time it's poop jokes, but sometimes it just hits me straight in the heart. In the last few chapters it introduced Tae, who is depressed after failing her exams. This page is her reconnecting with Haruko after not seeing each other for years.

Panel 8: Camera is behind Tae, you can see her mom looking at her, surprised.

Apart from DOOM, any computer game before 1995 is basically long-forgotten arcane knowledge. I remember when they made a book with 1001 games you must play and it didn't have a single King's Quest but listed all the GTAs & Mario Karts.

i think one of the biggest underlinings in just how bad the western industry has been about its own legacy is like. myst isnt just an old game. it was final fantasy vii before final fantasy vii. it was that fucking huge.
