getting eight whole real life streetpass hits at #Otakuthon this weekend has reawakened my compulsion to bring the 3DS *everywhere* again. it was great to not just receive these, but also to meet some of these folks face to face!

GTA 6 feels less like a game and more some kind of totem for a certain kind of dying gamer identity, that cannot economically or culturally sustain itself anymore. it represents a million different things and seemingly the least important of them is that it is an open world mission based video game

there are lots of popular things that aren't for me. that's normal. but watching the GTA 6 hype from outside the bubble feels different. what do you mean there's a gameplay reveal exclusive to netflix. why is the tone of every announcement if this game doesn't sell 100 million copies we're all dead

Kamaitachi no Yoru is simply one of the most important Japanese games in history, period. In the historical trajectory of novel games, if Otogirisou, Chunsoft's previous gane, is Pac-Land, this is Super Mario Brothers. It is that foundational in the storytelling and design paradigms it codified.

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.

I'm realizing holding contemporary dating sims up against Amagami is completely unfair, but only because Amagami led me to expect more games to force you to live through an agonizing, weeks long implosion of all your friendships because you made some really dumb choices.

look I'm happy he's out here and all, all I'm saying is it's really funny to see everyone out here sit down when bieber showed up. even the guy waving the argentina flag decided now's a good smoke break
