Someone points out a localization that didn’t even try to retain the intention or spirit of the original line.

Apologist: But literal translation doesn’t work in some vague hypothetical with no relevance to this context.

Every… Fucking… Time

Just went and saw #theamazingdigitalcircusfanart finale. It was a good ending imo.

Vanillaware finally coming to PC is a BIG DEAL. Their games are made with a custom in-house engine, NOT Unity or Unreal, which means it's way more difficult for them to port to different platforms. So if you want more of their games on PC, wishlist Muramasa on Steam RIGHT NOW!

>They sent death threats to famous Manga Author

>Author replies with "fuck you, I'll make it even more problematic for you"

FUCKING BASED

@STGshmups @Etherwinter @RadianceAlesta @ShofuBeatdown Original PS2 version was my first Vanillaware experience and I loved it.

[STG Shmups @STGshmups]

This is the kind of thing that we might perhaps get on Steam if Vanillaware succeeds with Muramasa. This clip is of Odin Sphere Leifthrasir from player @RadianceAlesta (cool guy, community member and possibly future gamedev to follow).

Check this out @ShofuBeatdown

Back in my days devs crafted the experience for the player, now apparently it’s my job lol

it's crazy how demonized bonzi buddy was for harvesting your data and showing you ads, wish people still held that same energy for apps and websites today.

Whenever I hear

"You can visit thousands of planets"
"You can romance hundreds of npcs"
"The open world is near limitless"

All I hear is wide as an empty ocean, deep as a dried up puddle. I'll take a handful of actually crafted experiences over thousands or millions of randomly generated ones any day.

@merrivius @Staunch_heretic She’s barely even hiding it anymore.

@messedupfoods I think this should be the best reply cause wtf!?

[Emperor of Nothing @Null_N_Void0]

@antonio19xy @J_ROOST @BringBackBanjoK Never played a game with unlock-able story modes from other perspectives before eh?

@JohnnyUktena @renrin0852 I meant that she would be treated as a tomboy by Link rather than a boy.

[Emperor of Nothing @Null_N_Void0]

@JohnnyUktena @renrin0852 Or have Shiek as an option and have Link kinda figure it out as they get closer. then imply that he suspected her real identity once it is revealed.

THE UK JUST MADE PRIVACY A CRIME.

The government wants a scanner built inside every phone in the country.

Scanning every citizen becomes the law. Refusing becomes 5 years in prison.

- The scanners would inspect every photo, message and video on your device before encryption
- Signal threatened to leave the UK entirely rather than build the backdoor
- Europe's age verification app built to "keep children safe" was hacked in under 2 minutes
- Another verification system leaked 70,000 IDs and selfies in a single breach

Orwell wrote 1984 as a warning. His own country turned it into law

Scarlet Deer Inn is a gorgeous, embroidered medieval folk adventure game!

With hand-painted and traditional animation made from actual embroidery, Scarlet Deer Inn tells a dark medieval tale with colorful characters and era-specific folk music performed on traditional instruments!

@TAHK0 I had no issue with that until the gacha game. Which should have been a non-canon spinoff in the first place.

[BLACKSTAR @Art444Star]

The misuse of the concept of "coding" has destroyed so much discourse and warped so many people's minds

Because most of the time people use it to validate their very subjective interpretation of a piece of art

"I see orcs as black people" = subjective, weak, easy to pick apart

"orcs are black coded" = objective, strong, harder to counter

"I see this character as a child" becomes "this character is child coded"

"I see goblins as Jews" becomes "goblins are Jewish coded" etc.

"I'm touch-starved" becomes "Every single friendship between two characters of the same sex is secretly queer coded"

"I'm a narcissist with validation issues" becomes "Every single gender-non-conforming character is trans coded"

But the fact remains that more often than not, by a massive margin, this is still your subjective interpretation of the art, you've just couched it in stronger terms, for the sake of making it harder to argue against

And, again far more often than not, the reasoning is pure Rorschach test level bullshit, whether you're just primed to get mad over something or just wanting to culturally colonise something, or motivated reasoning to the point of schizophrenia (e.g. It doesn't feel like something exists, but because it doesn't exist, means that it does exist)

The irony being that, if you use this play, you must sacrifice the "all art is subjective" argument, because the two are irreconcilable

You don't get to say that all interpretations of a piece of work are valid and at the same time that your apophenia overrules someone else's meaningful, reasoned analysis of the actual content of the work

Of course when you press them in it they will crumble and admit that it is just interpretation or headcanon

At which point they use "all art is subjective" as a shield, because none of this was never about anything but whatever makes them feel good and forcing you to accept it
