been braced for a punch for months but I never expected them to hit this hard
apparently this has been interpreted wrong.
as in, that part of the plotline isnât any worse than it was in the original.
no one should buy this

Iâve seen that, but itâs still worse
It does seem to be less disgusting than reported but I am still processing how I feel
yeah this has kept me in a perpetual state of unease and anger for 12 hours
is anyone more out of touch with their audience than Atlus
I donât know anyone who plays these games who isnât really invested in queer representation

I donât think Atlus takes Western audiences into consideration at all when making their games, so as far as theyâre concerned, they are in touch with their audience, because this kind of thinking is rampant in Japan

that had crossed my mind, it just seems egregious to spite what I have to imagine is 80%+ of the overseas fanbase
dealing with a lot of anime avatars and white dudes in red baseball caps on the birdsite, so it looks like the game will be a huge success

I looked into this some more. According to a speedrunning wiki, Pieces of Power drop from every 30th to 40th enemy (depending on the amount of heart containers you have) regardless of whether or not youâve gotten hit. Guardian Acorns spawn if you successfully kill 12 consecutive enemies without getting hit (strange design decision, as you noted). It doesnât seem like thereâs any difference between the vanilla and DX versions in this respect.
(the only reason i was aware of any of this is because a speedrunner back in the early SDA days was caught cheating (several years after his run was obsoleted lol) because his drop rates had some inconsistencies)

Apparently the Sega Ages version of Alex Kidd will have some new illustrated scenes set to unused music or some such thing:

it should come with a robot hand that plays rock, paper scissors with you for eternity or until the many cheap motors running it give out

Also I just realised that the symbols at the top and bottom of the wallpaper here are showing the solutions to all the janken boss battles

I just learned that the woman who did the french translation for Linkâs Awakening (among other games) has died of cancer six years ago and I canât sleep?
She translated the way no person who actually plays videogames could, and the game exuded her kindness
In that game you get some hidden developer messages if you talk to a cukeman (which cĂ only be found by sprinkling one of the electric slimes with magic powder) She used that space to send kisses from Kyoto and praise the Nintendo hotline girls who helped her with the translation, while in the english version that space was used to talk about polygons instead
RIP

Iâd rather see Kamiya get to do something else since ânot good enough to be an xbox one exclusiveâ doesnât get me super excited but hey Iâll try it.
Going forwards there are no Xbox One exclusivesâŚ
You know how that rumoured Star Fox racing game may have just ended up being part of the new Starlink DLC? Similar to that, I wonder if the new Platinum game Astral Chain for Switch is what has become of Scalebound? The robo-police helpers in that game seem like they work like the dragon would have in Scalebound.
Someone at my local Best Buy will be thrilled their marketing will become valid again!
