this is a… stunningly ideal outcome
Northern District of California judges have gotten pretty sharp on tech-related cases, they see a lot of them
Specifically, they named like, 3 characters after places in Orange County: Laguna, Irvine, and [Aya] Brea.
I made a name generator that I was calling the Squaresoft Late 90s Character Name Generator that creates a name out of two random California cities since there’s a million of them, but they all wound up sounding more like Las Vegas scumbags than Squaresoft characters. I think I need to mix in random names and words instead of just using cities.
Some of my favorites:

![]()

Beverly Beverly Hills is a great name
do you still have this name generator up anywhere? I could use more NPC names
Yeah – it doesn’t seem to really like to cycle through the whole dictionary, though, so it might be worth refreshing every so often if you’re getting the same handful of names. I never saw “Firebaugh” even though that would be a wicked surname. I also added some unincorporated communities.
ETA: Because I needed more names that sound like first names, I broke apart some names, so “Emeryville” became “Emery” and “Loma Linda” became “Linda”, etc. Tracy is just Tracy, though.
who was that actress from the exorcist? i think it was… that’s right!

no, no! you’re thinking of

on the other hand, i did just watch the new god of war trailer. im not really interested in this series for any other reason but i feel like they have done a good job of making characters with kind of interesting looking faces at least. got to give credit where it’s due.
call me when they give up on this kiddie shit and make god of gwar
never has the uncomfortable facial geometry of an early teenage boy been better captured in a game

The uh, people that made the Panzer Dragoon remake are going to remake… Night Slashers?
With a bit more time to chew on it, this ruling seems too pro-Apple. They plopped themselves down at an extreme end of the Overton window and the judge nibbled away at the most indefensible details while leaving the rest untouched. It seems to have been their legal/policy strategy from the beginning for it to play out like this, similar to how Amazon viewed not charging sales tax as a temporary advantage and didn’t complain too hard when they were finally forced to.
Took me a second to realize this wasn’t Night Trap and in that second anything seemed possible.
mgs3 on pc sounds pretty nice
if any of you play the final fantasy tactics remaster instead of my version I will be inconsolable
Someone at Square Enix is going to be lazy and just grab a translation off the internet and it’s going to end up being yours.
