After a few hours with the beta, my impression of DQ Smash/Grow is that a gacha Vampire Survivors clone is not a particularly easy sell, because the real thing is only $5. In this case, they do not really even have an interesting story to latch on to. It's 2010 era mobile game design still.

every time I meet a new digimon, I feel like I'm being trolled by the names

I'm not very familiar with Digimon at all; I played a bit of Cyber Sleuth, and that's it. Time Stranger is honestly really cool. It's got extreme PS2 B-grade RPG energy (positive). Like what if we never stopped making games like that and kept improving within that mold.

While playing through Ghost of Yotei, the PS App sent me several notifications along the way congratulating me on making various points of progress. It felt weird and I didn't like it.

Trying not to be negative, but why does the
"feeder" appear to be segregating each color?
The dark haired one eats from a lower platform than the other two. Is it a subservient calico?
I'm reading into this too much. Why can't I just enjoy the video! It's the new norm our current culture promotes.

Look I like this place, the convos i have are mostly productive, there’s a lot of thoughtful posters, but like everyone once in a while someone will say something like accusing me of being racist against my darker furred cat

On the DQ7 live stream, they confirmed that the Grondal/Krage, El Ciclo/Litorud, and Providence/Probina islands have been removed from the game. They are adding more things, though, including a scenario about the MC and Maribel's childhood.

Absolutely devastated by this news. SpaceDrake was no doubt a huge influence in drumming up interest for Japanese indie games localized into English and pushing for them on digital distribution storefronts like steam. Huge loss. Might be time for another playthrough of Recettear in his honour.

A tweet from Robin Light-Williams (@BlondRobin) stating the following: Hello to anyone reading this. I am Robin Light-Williams, formerly lead translator for Carpe Fulgur. I am very sorry to announce that my friend and business partner Andrew Dice, @SpaceDrakeCF, has passed away. Pursuant to that, Carpe Fulgur will be ceasing operations.

Oh man I love knowing my goals and completing them

Ghost of Yōtei has an effective and incredibly satisfying setup, and its core idea – the joy of knowing your goals and completing them – extends to every element of the game creating a consistently satisfying experience that is difficult to put down.

The people involved with this project are well known in the MSX scene with many previous projects under their belts. I haven’t played this translation yet, but I have no reason to assume it isn’t well done.
