I see Bluesky has pins now, so might as well do this again while I redo my carrd at some point. Hello! I like a lot of games, anime, manga, music, and various media and go by starpendle pretty much everywhere. Nice to meet you!
Oh the Expedition 33 update hit at a good time since I'm almost at the end.

There's *a lot* to find before going to the final battle.

At least, that’s the plan.
The gods are silent. Rivellon bleeds. New powers stir.

Built by the team who brought you Baldur's Gate 3, Larian Studios unchains its ambitions to bring you an RPG with greater breadth & depth than ever before.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 composer Lorien Testard went from getting discovered through online forums to having his music open the show and receiving Best Score from Lenny Kravitz during a show that 100+ million are watching around the world.
Well-deserved! 👏

Older Leon...

I'm also just glad for a new Resident Evil with no faceless protagonist again.

I'm a bit surprised Gustave was nominated to be honest. Jennifer English is deserved though.

Did we really need a close up of all that?

Divinity from Larian is hype though.
December 12, 2025 at 1:25 AM
Wait, that's it?

Star Wars already has a problem showing cinematic trailers and then no gameplay for who knows how long...
December 12, 2025 at 1:16 AM
Not too surprising I suppose. I been gaming much slower lately.

Jeez, My Hero Academia's final episode is next week, huh...

Had my problems with the series, but honestly it's the only recent shonen that actually ends well for me.

If as a developer/publisher you want to buy into AI gen for development, alright -- but if the result of using it is just your game feeling like you took a bunch of really shitty shortcuts, it can only hurt you and clearly isn't the future you think it is
I shouldn't have to write a lengthy critique of the use of genAI while discussing a series that, historically, has celebrated art & music. Do not buy Let It Die: Inferno, or realistically, any game that uses generative AI. Our review: www.rpgsite.net/review/19037...

If you’re curious about how our campaign livestream-fundraising strategy is going, @nathangrayson.bsky.social did a FANTASTIC deep dive.

Especially appreciate him giving my producer, @ashadotb.bsky.social, the credit she deserves.
Instead of relying on wealthy donors, congressional candidate @katmabu.bsky.social is using a Twitch stream to raise money – and fight a federal indictment

Honestly Expedition 33 might be the most gorgeous game I seen. It's a crime there's no proper photo mode or even a way to take screenshots without 'Pause' popping up in the middle each time.

The thing about fansubs is regardless of anything else that may be going on, ultimately fansubs are made by someone who *really cares about what they're making*. That actually was true at one time at Crunchyroll. It is not true now.

The Gintama dub is actually pretty nicely voiced, but CR what in the world is the point if you don't subtitle things like the thought bubbles and Elizabeth's signs when the series is heavy on that???

Was skeptical with the first episodes but enjoying the Gnosia anime a lot. Pleasantly surprised they just now finished introducing the cast seven episodes in.

Jennifer English realizing she's a lesbian and falling in love with one of her mocap directors (Aliona Baranova) over the course of making BG3 and seeing all the queer folks embracing Shadowheart and the impact the game had is genuinely one of the best stories in game production in a long time
Congrats to Jennifer English for winning the Best Lead Performer award at the 2025 #GoldenJoystickAwards!

And her acceptance speech about queer joy was a love letter to @aliona.bsky.social 🥹🌈
