I'll admit I'm curious about the acclaim for Urban Myth Dissolution Center, but I've started to get word that the official English TL is bad…
Saw a thread asking people what their favourite game was when they were alive in 2005. Straining the ol' rememberbellum makes me realise, even though I was playing Thousand Year Door, Smash Bros. Melee, and a LOT of NetHack, the truest answer… is probably Sexy Parodius in MAME…
I haven't really thought about Umineko or spun it around in my head in about a year and a half, but I will give Uni Akiyama credit: one listen of Black Liliana from the OST is enough to drop me right back in there.
I feel like what people think of "Umineko", what they mostly think of is Umineko episode 2 – and Black Liliana is the "episode 2 theme" to me.
They just did an RPG Maker default assets classical music game from Freem on RTA in Japan - you love to see it.
I'm this close to finally making a damn userscript that just automatically clicks over to the "Following" tab when the timeline loads. And then reusing it for clicking over to "Latest" in Bluesky search results.
I am somewhat dismayed to report that on X fka Twitter, the "For you" tab has gone into overdrive. *doesn't clarify what this means*
Idly speculating about how many "level-ups" I've dutifully earned across a copious lifetime of game-playing. If we exclude all Pokémon it's still gotta be in the low ten thousands.

Was casually reading the announcement for Python 3.15 when I stumble on this line. I don't use the language too frequently, but it's nice to know all those times I was compulsively splashing encoding="utf8" everywhere were actually freaking required until now.
I feel like HTML is such a goofy language that even this many years on, it's still hard to take it seriously. It's never going to have the straight-spined dignity of C or Java or Rust, or even the respectability of another layout language like LaTeX.
One thing I think about in Angeline Era is that forcing you to only use food items *before* entering a dungeon, to gain the healing in advance as overheal, feels like how food should've been implemented in videogames all this time, instead of just being equivalent to medicine.
No, the true originator of indie games is the team behind Chair Chase (2002). What? You haven't heard of it? Why, that's because its primacy and momentousness is so obvious as to be beneath even the scarcest passing mention.
Just saw someone calling out using object emojis as bullet points in a product description or announcement as "GitHub aesthetic"
Huge Servo milestone: thanks to a swift response to a bug I reported, the Servo browser (https://servo.org) can now play Deltarune Dot Com's 404 page correctly.
Recently I got dissatisfied with how flat Firefox looks under high-contrast mode, so I went into userChrome.css and added a border-top colour to hovered and selected tabs. It's remarkable how effectively that one addition combined with border-radius can un-flatten the design.
I'm blowing open ludology with a new theory. I propose whenever a game has a character with a distinctive theme tune that plays whenever they appear, that's meant to represent the character having a remarkable scent (games sadly being limited to a scant 2.1 of the senses).
Wikipedia article editors have gotten really good at comedic delivery
"In Link's Awakening's true ending, Marin is granted her wish to leave the island by becoming a seagull. Unfortunately, her dream of singing for people is ironically thwarted when she arrives at the island of Rokkenjima, because when the seagulls cried, no one was left aliv
