I haven’t really had a chance to play games lately because I’ve been weaving baby blankets for some expecting friends! Today, finally, dawn of the final blanket!!
A blanket being woven on a floor loom. The warp is white and the weft is a peacockish color. The pattern is sort of checkerboard. A blanket being woven on a floor loom. The warp is white and the weft is a light green, like a pea shoots color. A cherry wood shuttle sits on the cloth. A top down, close up view of a blanket being woven on a floor loom. The warp is white and the weft is a dark purple. The pattern is sort of checkerboard. A blanket being woven on a floor loom. The warp is white and the weft is periwinkle blue. Towards the bottom of the image there’s an all white section of cloth that will become the hem. At the top of the image you can see the reed of the loom and, on the left, the tip of a wooden shuttle.

I also finished #atelierayesha! Super duper different than my usual fare but fun. Managed to get all the endings right before the deadline 💪🏽 !

You should eat at least one slice of cake with us.” A screenshot from Atelier Ayesha DX. A gray-haired girl with a giant sword, a warmer-gray haired guy, and a blond girl in a green dress sit on the ground. They all look like they’ve just accomplished something taxing.

Vacation is over, so I guess I should post…I played through #supermariosunshine for the first time over the break! I really enjoyed my time with it (even, sort of, the white-knuckle adrenaline tension of the secret levels). Lovely tropical vibes for my chilly winter holiday 🌴 #scanlinesunday

Last week I wanted a really chill JRPG to play, so I started my first Atelier game — Atelier Ayesha DX! It is VERY chill (though some of the characters are extremely annoying) and a lot of fun. But why KT watermarks screenshots I’ll never understand…
The title screen for Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dust DX. There is a Koei Tecmo copyright text watermark on the bottom left of the screenshot. Ayesha stands in front of a coffee table reading a letter from Bell’s Teacher. The text box reads, “I wish you much success as a young alchemist…”. There is a Koei Tecmo copyright text watermark on the bottom left of the screenshot. A screenshot from the intro movie for Atelier Ayesha DX. Ayesha floats in the air in the middle of a crumbling stone arch. Wind rushes towards her. There are a few faint names of plants on the screen. There is a Koei Tecmo copyright text watermark on the bottom left of the screenshot. Ayesha kneels in a circle of colored glass flowers. Regina stands behind her, saying, “She disappeared…”

I’m always happy to see Criterion adding more Indian films but I wish we could get s/t other than Ray or Nair. Guru Dutt, Bimal Roy, even Yash Chopra (that’s just the Hindi ones)…& there’s so many modern directors / films that would be amazing to showcase on disc! Ratnam, Bhansali, Akhtar, Ranjith…!
A screenshot of the Criterion Collection announcing the release of Mira Nair’a Salaam Bombay! on disc. Text reads: “Salaam Bombay! A kaleidoscopic portrait of Bombay's street life, Mira Nair's first narrative feature is an intimate human drama about a young outcast who encounters love, friendship, and tragedy amid the chaos and extreme poverty of the city.”
