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.

it's been my constant fascination since i was a teen how aggressively anti-communicative the formal style is in polish. notice downstairs from building management today: "on aug 4th, such-and-such company will commence mowing the grass, given favorable atmospheric conditions"

i keep thinking about the first half. we talk about queerbaiting today but sometimes the term feels inappropriate because there just isn't a visible cynical marketing impulse at all. to me what it reads like in some of these cases is self-censorship, self-erasure, enclosement of possibility
