One of the most well-written game-related articles I've read in quite a while: www.loekalization.com/blog/blog/20...

About the Silksong Chinese translation issues.

I got great feedback from my fellow game developers that dropped by my booth at devcom Cologne these past two days. Thanks for dropping by!

My voice is toast; I'm still having to explain too much, the game should do that on its own!

Tumblr post:

do-you-have-a-flag:

"technology related sensory memories from my childhood

sliding the metal cover on floppy disks

the slight resistance of inserting cassette and video tapes

ripping off the strips of holed paper off of dot matrix printer paper

rolling the wheel on a disposable camera to take another photo"

mm-imagerie:

"The heaviness and rubber texture of the roller ball in a computer
mouse, and the little ring of lint

Unkinking the curly cord of a telephone while you talked

The -peww sound and slowly fading image of a crt monitor turning off, and then running your finger through the static on the dusty glass

The crunch of opening or closing a plastic Disney vhs cover

The sound effects in kidpix

Extending and collapsing metal antennas and using them as magic wands"

sahdirah:
"...God, it is so weird these things aren't around any more. Cause it's true, the sensations are so distinct. It's bizarre to think about missing these tiny relics."
