Is Gradius a transliteration error of Gladius? Weirdly enough came up in Boyfriend Dungeon

One of the developers said the similarity to ā€œgladiusā€ was coincidental, but didnā€™t provide any other information or source as to what the origin of the name was, and since the katakana for gladius is the same as for Gradius, itā€™s most like a deliberate or indeliberate futzing of ā€œgladiusā€.

The first time I ever realized this was on air in an sb podcast recording and it blew my mind

Is there a tech support thread?

I think that was the Tom of Finland or whatever thread, but I think the title changed or they made a new thread?

I really wish mods could tag threads for categorizing this kind of shit so it makes finding some of these threads easier, because it is definitely An Issue more often than not for me. (ETA: This is an option, apparently).

has there ever been a big open world rpg/fps hybrid like fallout 3/nv/4, but instead of being a modern-style full 3d game, itā€™s more like doom?

the nearest i can think of is exhumedā€™s semi-metrovania kinda setup, and even that has vertical aiming iirc

Thereā€™s got to be some recent indie game with this setup though right? The combo pieces are each individually too hot for the combo not to exist

Wasted is a little like this, but not open world in the Bethesda sense.
