Not sure how you'd exactly stop a staff member acting maliciously. Suppose if you have mind control tech, you could do it.

It absolutely shut everything down. No buses, no trains, everyone was shitting bricks hahaha. Landlord was coming to the door and asking if I was going to be OK. Asking that to the guy from Scotland!

The most snow I've ever seen while living in Fukuoka.

Unfortunately not much can be done regarding a supreme court decision. Though trans women can't be a member, they're opening up a quasi-membership role that trans women can join under.

Edge of Fate is a new saga as they say, and they completely changed up their development schedule with it. Two smaller expansions a year with a little update in the middle between each expansion. Lets em breathe more, allows them to fully sit content within the game.

I think the Japanese names work better for how they sound and look in English. Xin looks goofy and alien, and pronunciation of it doesn't come to mind easy. Piao is even worse, looks goofy as hell and sounds like a sound effect in an Adam West Batman episode.

They don't remove anything from the game anymore. They've moved to slower content releases so they don't have to end up ditching stuff to keep the ship afloat.

Sucks that they've used the Chinese names in this translation, but its actually decent so far. Haven't noticed any of the...issues that they had with Steel Ball Run.

However, games can be submitted to EGS without a rating. So did the dev lie about the M, or is it true? Can't view a non-existent page anymore, and the game has no rating on GOG or Itch. In the end, it has an AO rating now, and can't be on EGS.

The Horses situation gets weirder. The game got removed from EGS after being re-rated as AO, which EGS wont host (unless its AO because of NFTs or Blockchain shit lol). Dev claims they were given an M rating, but now its got an AO. IARC can reclassify a game and it gets auto-updated on stores.

shut it

711 here in Japan were doing Black Friday "sales" on their takeaway snack chicken. Felt like I was going mental seeing it.

I'll need to hope for an on-the-day sale and get lucky, I guess. Or maybe mug someone for theirs. Or if all else fails, just buy the SSH Akaranger they've got in the shop itself.

Aye, they've been a bit sly about mentioning it. Its only if you actually read into it that you'd know, which as we know, most folk won't do.
