I don't really care about the Discourse but it's worth keeping in mind that the other side of the "everyone plays videogames" marketing point is "but that doesn't mean everyone is a Videogame Hobbyist who buys and/or plays multiple games a year," and the costs of said hobby will reflect that

We all have our blind spots in the culture, like how I can go a year or two without thinking about how Valve runs a massive gambling marketplace for reselling Counterstrike skins because I don't play that game and don't know anyone who does

you ok bro? there were some pretty old clips in the Previously On - like they were reminding us of a conflict we thought had been resolved that's about to resurface, possibly with a fiendish new twist

it's honestly refreshing to see a good old fashioned mob betting scandal. somehow more dignified than one star player getting addicted to draftkings
More from the NBA poker game indictments:

* mob used a card shuffler that predicted who had the best hand, then sent data to off-site operator, who texted to a player at the table.
-- Chauncey Billups and Damon Jones were "face cards" to real in the "fish," or big-$ players destined to lose.

pov: you've just clicked on an unassuming youtube link in 2005
The first Vampire Survivors-like game I played was Holocure, and that pretty much ruined the genre for me. It features the extremely rare combination of "having an art style" and "having gameplay", and also it's free

The devs added this disclaimer which might be my favorite game disclaimer ever 😅
Just trying to block her it feels like she has a LOT of strong mixup options right out of the gate, and they cover tons of space so it's hard to move back to a range I can work in. And *really* hard to get her to whiff
Eltnum Under Night is designed to punish the opponent for thinking they could ever try to walk backward to create space

I think the president should try to annoint an antipope, just for the love of the game
Not AFAIK, though my understanding is the Trails 1 remake was handled by a different publisher and probably skewed "closer to the source material"
Hey, y'all remember the time a few years ago an Ys game shipped with an English translation so busted, they had to apologize and eventually rewrote and re-recorded the dub for it? Anyway, the company responsible kept getting deals to translate Falcom's games for years

The whole elephant in the room wrt localization is that “adequate and cheap” is good enough for 90% of companies, and they really don’t care about what the audience outside of Japan gets as long as they make some profit
As the threat of AI translations and subtitles keeps rising, at some point we need to have the conversation about how the push for these are coming more from JP producers and publishers rather than western ones because the reality is Japan generally doesn't care that much about localization quality

Actual thing that happened at work today

Several characters say things in the Memory Garden that are so loaded I wonder if the lines change with the player's progression in the main story. Because that seems like a thing they'd do

As usual 90s era Onion had this dynamic nailed
If you need help writing commit messages like that, I do not want you touching the codebase in the first place
Screensharing with one of the junior developers and seeing what a base Visual Studio Code setup looks like now is always fun. Each time I get to see a new place where ""AI"" tries to ""help"" -- autofilling commit messages like "merged changes from main"
