.I appreciate everyone who follows me on this platform. Thank you. I don't think I'm anyone special but I like that I can spout off about games (positively & negatively) and interact with a peer group who are equally passionate 🎮👍😊 #VideoGamesAreGreat

.This has personally been a good weekend. To celebrate, I'm going out to destroy public works and set a bus in fire. That's how this works, right? Am I celebrating correctly?

.💯 Agree! Anytime geeks/nerds/otaku create a space to gather and share what they love, it's invaded by grifters, scammers, tourists, activists and liars. They hated your hobbies then and they hate your hobbies now. They love your money and will destroy your hobby to get it.
カードオタク、ジメジメした岩の下でひっそりカードやってただけなのに、金の匂いに焚き付けられた半グレにパック価格を釣り上げられ、高額シングルは詐欺に利用され、オリパは盗品の洗浄に使われている 俺たちはただカードで遊んでいたいだけなのに…どうしてこうなった

.This was my favorite game announcement! #Muramasa
"In the shadows of myth dwell the dreaded demon blades..." Vanillaware's classic, Muramasa: Revenant Blades, triumphantly re-emerges in early 2027 on Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and for the first time ever, PC! #muramasa #revenantblades

.If the 'PC Gaming Show' represents the "pc master race", I will gladly stay a filthy console gamer. What massive pile of garbage.

.Watching a live stream of Torigoe Matsuri ⛩️ 😁 Japan is fighting hard to keep its traditions alive...while my country can't seem to destroy its traditions fast enough. 😔

.PSA: If you have a work issued computer, just be aware your IT team can see everything you look at on it. Everything.

.Stranger than Heaven is kind of losing me. Might be the very first RGG game that I skip.

.Maybe I was hearing things, but did the biggest cheers happen for Eastern developed games at Summer Game Fest? This bodes well 👍

.State of Play: Onimusha 👍 Kemuri...maybe 🤔 Wolverine: Ugly character designs. Creative director should be ashamed. Who at Insomniac thought these are commensurate?

.When I see someone's video or hear them talk about their first experience in Japan 🗾, it hits hard. There are restless pieces of my soul still floating around Tokyo 🗼. If you feel them looking 👀 over your shoulder, I apologize.

Jason's wrong, wow. Spoiler- It's the consultancy firms. Localizers. Activist speakers. Sensitivity consultants. Mo-Cap actors. Face models. Body models. Dub actors for 8 languages. The game awards. Hollywood actors. CGI trailers. Youtuber cameos. Corpo-press goody-bribes. It's the hiring of multiple social media interns. It's the presence on social media at all. It's the purchasing of rights to popular I.P. It's the purchasing of rights to licensed music. It's the purchasing of rights to celebrity likenesses. It's the constant need to produce five-hundred cosmetics for live-service games. The constant need to maintain servers and infrastructure for live-service games. The constant need to work on new future content for live-service games. The constant need to moderate and police communities for live-service games. The constant need to push out marketing and trailers for live-service games. The constant need to maintain new content for live-service games. I could go on forever, but this more than covers it. "Labor costs" my ass. Stop wasting your labor costs on irrelevant nonsense and get back to making great, solid video games that real people want to buy and play, and suddenly your "labor costs" aren't an issue anymore.
🚨 NEW: Game journalist Jason Schreier explains why game development budgets cost so much money. (Spoiler: It's labor costs, it was always labor costs) “The biggest factor is economic reality in the US.” youtu.be/nvhmBqRjtBQ?is=wqIT…

.A sad but true statement 😔
May 29
とらのあなは終わったんだ…もうあの頃の一際目を引くデカい看板とオタクでごった返す通路、売り場一面に並べられた同人誌にひときわ狭い階段と薄い本を入れるための黒いビニール袋はいくら呼んでも帰っては来ないんだ、もうあの時間は終わって、君も人生と向き合う時なんだ

.My 50 hours Oblivion save contains a game breaking bug that cannot be reversed and the only solution is to start over. I uninstalled NTE after seeing at least 6 different systems to progress through, just to play the game. I think I'm done with these massive time sinks.

秋葉原は新宿や渋谷みたいな陽キャの街に馴染めない陰キャ民が長い時間かけてちょっとづつ作ってきた楽しい街なんだよ。 陽キャ相手にやってた客引きは場違いだから来ないでほしい(和)
