Incredibly nervous to post this, but I do think it is as finished as I'll ever be happy with. My translation of Maijo Otaro's "The World Is Made Out of Closed Rooms" is out. Right now! koalatl.neocities.org/posts/2026-0...

Today’s my birthday! It’s been a hellish year but I’m hanging in there. I’d love if people checked out my podcasts for my birthday, or maybe shared some of their favorites with their own followers. I have bunches!
A new VoIP Life for all $10+ patrons! I’m joined by @yerfriendmolly.undertow.cards to weigh in on the characters of FE: Fortune’s Weave as shown to us by @poyfuh.bsky.social and it turns into two and a half hours of yapping! Enjoy! www.patreon.com/posts/173386...
I will elaborate on the Chrono Cross connections (one obvious, one not as much) in the SAG episode when it comes out in like 5 months, please look forward to it lmao
94. Zero Parades: For Dead Spies (2026, Video Game) A great game that is both mired and elevated by production controversies. It's kinda Chrono Cross-core, in *two* directions. The voice acting is phenomenal across the board. The narrator is a delight and I could listen to Mel probably forever

The more i see stuff like this from people heading projects the more i think that the ability to actually hit send on a work, warts and all, is a skill that is necessary lest the allure of "perfect" eat everything and everyone you love
Reading this Famitsu interview Uchikoshi did and it seems that the reason the Crash Keys game was canceled was because *Uchikoshi* wanted to use AI, not the publisher. This snippet is driving me nuts. Makes all the posturing with Hundred Line read extremely shallow.

Replying to @ponett.dog
which is a sentiment i actively see people express on here all the time. all the posts about how they've already got enough new games for a lifetime and might stop buying more, or they're just going to emulate ps2 games forever. don't let the slop make you afraid to engage with new art at all, man

Ended up writing a lot more, oops.
93. Castlevania: Belmont's Curse (2026, Video Game) An aggressively "Fine" game. Like a weird blend of Dead Cells, Circle of the Moon, and CV4 endgame. Castlevania's very own Metroid Dread (affectionate *and* derogatory) shoutout to making Portrait's story like 10x funnier lmao

I've said it in other words but Angeline era is about the joy of walking into a costco and seeing this and moving on with your life, while checklistvanias feel a bit more like checking off all the food stalls to eat at in a disneyworld
Thank you! We deliberately designed AE to contrast against the checklist-focused exploration of metroidvanias, in favor of something less guided, and more about players making meaning from "being in the middle of what is happening in the world even if confused" vs. "uncovering what happened"

Lately I've been seeing a lot of depressing posts about how people discard their own experiences in favor of efficiency and utility, and for some reason I needed to launch into a disjointed and pedantic rant about why useless is good.
