Retail launch of Pokémon Legends: Z-A in Japan is slightly higher than that of Legends: Arceus

It's the 3rd biggest Pokémon launch for the past decade, only behind Scarlet/Violet & Sun/Moon

+2 million with digital is expected, it'll likely be the best selling game of the year

For my Silent Hill f review, I interview a therapist. She beat the game twice.

We talk about how this masterpiece is about the horror of navigating the self, and the shedding and rebuilding of the self until you no longer recognize who remains.

Review | ‘Silent Hill f’ is social horror that works. A therapist explains why.

“Silent Hill f,” examining the social pressures on a girl in 1960s Japan, is one of the psychological horror series’ most confident and resonant installments.

i think we're in a position now where the vast majority of people are flat-out hostile to criticism. I've even seen other critics -people you would think would be resistant to this - become very nasty when something they like is criticised, because it's their identity too. none of us are immune.

Our identities have been forcibly tied to the products we consume in such a way that the people manufacturing them has successfully convinced pretty much everyone that criticism is an attack on the product, which is by extension an attack on you, and therefore critics exist only to hurt you

On the criticism debate, it's literally the reason I don't write anymore, at least not in public. I still do it in private, because I need a support to remember things, but I don't think there's any point in doing it in public in such an adverse environment.

On FataMoru through the lens of Umineko (SPOILERS for those who haven't read it):

My big problem is that the opening of the catbox and the search for truth is set up as the puzzle challenge in a shin honkaku story. The point is to subvert that expectation, like Christie in And Then There Were None.

not even getting into 'obviously the franchise should pivot away from shit that clearly isn't fucking working' the genre you're in changes how money must be spent which changes how the story has to be structured and presented. You cannot seperate these two ideas

Final Fantasy Doesn't Need Turn-Based Combat Back, It Needs Better Stories

There’s been an undercurrent of opinion, ever since Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 took audiences by surprise earlier this year, that the approach taken by the turn-based fantasy RPG is the cure for everything that ails Final Fantasy. It delivers an old-school take on the genre that’s much less flawed than both Final… Read more...

Fragments d'espoir, ou Nanohana, de Moto Hagio est un chouette recueil. Contexte de publication faisant, ça part dans toutes les directions avec un aspect référentiel très pointé, mais je trouve toujours que ça marche.

J'y reviendrai en détail un peu plus tard, mais quelques remarques.

Ce n'est pas l'idée qui est mise en avant dans le clip, puisque le fleuve est beaucoup plus écrasé et le décor moins pictoresque. Certes, il y a des cerisiers qui bordent les rives, mais le parc Hikari manque d'ombres, la promenade est resserrée et la vue n'est pas aussi harmonieuse qu'en amont.

Ces terrasses font partie de l'esthétisme du Kyōto des loisirs, car elles fondent le 京都鴨川納涼床, cette appréciation de l'été près de Kamo-gawa. Depuis le XVIIe siècle, il était possible d'apprécier les festivités depuis les terrasses, globalement entre le premier mai et le mois d'octobre.

Je comprends sa logique ; son design même (d'un monde purgatoire, sans maîtrise). Je les respecte - mais rien n'y fait. Je partage la même expérience.

De fait, je ne sais pas si cela vaut le coup de pousser davantage : je ne pense pas que ton appréciation changera, même après avoir obtenu un Skell

Même sensation, rien ne me plaît vraiment - ce n'est pas mauvais, juste pas pour moi.

Je suis habituellement réceptif à ce que fait Takahashi : une grande affection pour "Xenogears" ; idem pour les épisodes numérotés des "Chronicles" (en dépit de l'esthétisme déplorable du 2). "X" ne passe pas.
