That's an interesting translation, wish English had kept it. "Mew gave birth" is a lot more gendered-sounding, esp in 1999

try to gender these things, like come on, I dare you

I mean I was also a child when the game came out, and a teenager when I started data hoarding 💀

Anything on digital media can be moved or salvaged, barring shit like disk rot, and to be clear, I'm not saying that wouldn't be an issue today, but rather just "come on man, what are we doing here"

I guess that makes sense, but it's hard for me to imagine as someone who still has files archived from like 2007 that travelled across multiple hard drives. So shortsighted

Honestly I always wondered why in rereleases like this they don't simply take the assets they rendered for the pre-rendered backgrounds and simply rerender them in 4K or even include those original assets in the rerelease

The DS Phoenix Wright games have beautiful spritework that I think looks better than the remakes, especially from the 2nd game onwards

Professor Layton, I know there's supposedly a new one coming but come on. Also TWEWY

honestly I think the metaphor works better with the rest of the world being 5.

5 year olds tend to be curious, open to learning, and recognize gaps in their knowledge. 12 year olds are starting to get angsty and moody and more defiant for no reason, and want to think they know more than they do.

I used to work a job with 12s overnight every night and it was miserable. Biggest things I would say helped were making sure the room was dark during the day so sleep was more restful and eating and showering quickly after work so I had more time to sleep.

It made it better, but not good.

B is very reminiscent of something like Hex Maniac, and I realize that... but I still like it more and is closer to what I imagined in the lineart pieces

Honestly I don't have strong enough opinions on it one way or another to really dive into the pedantry of the definition of the terms except in the context of clarifying what is beneficial. I wouldn't use those terms that way but I also wouldn't get angry if someone did, just confused at worst. 🤷‍♀️

I've always historically been an audiobooks count truther, but the difficulty so many have with reading and comprehension today means it now requires more nuance. It DOES activate many of the same brain regions, and is definitely beneficial, but for those who struggle to read, isn't as helpful.

They count as far as literacy, defined as "becoming more learned and knowledgeable about the world"

They don't count as literacy, defined as "the ability to read words on a page." Which is... actually a big issue for lots of kids and young adults right now.

Don't you know, it's only about states' rights to harm people, not states' rights to do good.

I've seen it written/spelled gig before, but I've never heard it spoken like anything except jig. I always just assumed it was a misspelling, but it could be a case of just language evolving

Would it be possible to share a redacted version of the email? I'm VERY curious what you mean by allies and calling them out, the phrasing would be interesting.

jfc i feel like that’s like. the equivalent to the entire enemy gauntlet in high halls (iykyk)

Ema @emalorule.bsky.social · 23d

since the gusts aren’t there to do that until a good amount through the fight i assumed that was the intended end?

How long does it go if you don’t do that???

oh damn yeah it didn’t do as well as i thought. while it wasn’t my thing, it WAS my best friend from the time’s system seller and iirc one other random person we knew too back then, so i figured it was like. big. guess that’s the problem with low sample sizes

Ema @emalorule.bsky.social · Sep 13

i mean, wasn’t Fire Emblem that? Like i personally have never been a fan of fire emblem but iirc it was a huge system seller for the 3DS, so why wouldn’t it be here?
