Dislike using game review scores but everyone is agreeing every game is improvement from predecessor.

Another example of not doing layoffs leads to games getting better.
Fun fact - you get better at your work the more times you do.

Capcom's regional pricing is INSANE. They make a fool of everyone not in America or Europe.

Shout out to early pioneers of PC porting and localization.
Laid foundations for these companies to succeed.

(that's exactly me in 2010)
It's a fascinating thing to do. Added a hook/tension to the story that was refreshing, plus made me look up info.

I remember how much I edited the ini file for Witcher 3 just to make it playable on my laptop barely hanging for its life.

The Indian spirit of "jugaad".
Improvising with what you have.
Article described millions of college going kids in my time (and probably even now). Superbly written.

β€œThis Is Not The Computer For You” Β· Sam Henri Gold Sam Henri Gold is a product design engineer building playful, useful software.

This is the best product review I’ve read: samhenri.gold/blog/2026031...

It doesn’t matter if you’re interested in the MacBook Neo or not; this is the kind of essay that makes you think about the potential of technology and the joys of exploration.

Houser Brothers get inspired from Housemarque catalog so much, GTA6 is retooled to become a tough-as-nails arcade shooter.

Hate to admit, that's how I learnt all of this. It's a great way to learn it, instead of learning it academically tbh.

- I definitely played Trails in 2016 because that's when I found out about missable content and I dropped the game (more like my saves of 8-10 hours wiped off from pc memory refresh).

Around that time I read about Falcom as company and became really fascinated.

Memory has faded (that's why I'm tweeting frequently past few years so I thoughts remain archived)
- I think I played Faxanadu first because I was dabbling in NES library
- I played Ys Oath In Felghana in 2015, 2016

Armaan from @frostwood.bsky.social is sooo close to getting their next big game funded and can really use your help!

Shutter Story is a paranormal game about going through perfectly normal photos using early 2000s editing software. What could possibly go wrong!

I saw their NHK documentary (they did for SF6 DLC and RE4 releases) and I seriously commend their work ethic.

1. What are your thoughts on Tainted Grail?
2. Why are people celebrating KCD2 being on the low? I thought it would be most well received by Codex.

@bowloflentils.bsky.social
Falcom is including an Indian character in Kyoto Xanadu. Her name is "Rachna" (meaning = creation, context = divine or intellectual), which is so apt for her character.

Falcom did their homework, incredibly happy for some representation.

More than that, I think he seems unfamiliar with current localization works. This can be rectified through dialogue (and judging from his video interviews, he is very open to discussions).

As I bilingual (Hindi), I get where he's coming from.
There is a regional variations in first and second person pronouns in Hindi with no English parallels. You'll require extra phrases in ENG for what can be achieved in single word in Hindi.

Konami is currently more open than ever working with third party. Localization companies should pitch them.

Direct meaning of Rachna is creation, construction. The connotation is "artistic, divine, intellectual".

It's also used in context of strategizing too.

They named her "Rachna".
OH FALCOM did their homework!

They named their Indian smart girl character "Rachana".
OH Falcom did their research.
