Henry Gilbert (Beloved Podcast Personality)@talkinghenry.bsky.social · 2d agoWhy is Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures one of the most important shows in cartoon history? It was the entry point for folks behind Simpsons, Pixar, Batman, and more!

I just purchased a Nintendo Switch 2 for $449 because of this btw. I recommend you buy one now while it's $499. It's a great deal right now at just $599 and if you don't buy it now for $679, you might end up paying over $800.

This is not a drill! An English patch for the original Super Famicom version of Kamaitachi no Yoru has just been released! This was created by ButThouMust, who previously published one of two English patches for Otogirisou several years ago. Patch in the link below: github.com/ButThouMust/...
1564 Studio@1564studio.bsky.social · 2d agoI'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.
