We got gen-AI dubs from Amazon and gen-AI subs from Crunchyroll, but if you torrent a fansub that real people worked to translate, code, and stylize, you're the piece of shit.

Haven't discounted my games on itch, but if you buy a copy of Virtue's Heaven at full price, you're effectively gifting a free copy to someone who cannot afford it (=buying the game adds a community copy):

finally played Salamander III last night and had a good time, but it felt much more like a Gradius Rebirth 2

it revisited so many Gradius ideas you can kind of tell they made a Salamander game out of time constraints

something that made a lot of Japanese game design fall into place for me was learning that a lot of arcades had a "communication notebook" so you could share messages with other players

they became essential for obtuse games like Tower of Druaga, which required community effort

Not related to anything but I sometimes think abt how one of the stated reasons why Kaizoku subs left nakama as this untranslatable word with no appropriate English equivalent was because "comrade" sounded Too Communist
