I can just about file this under "Tidbits of Kingdom-Hearts-related news":
Hikaru Utada has a new song with Charlie Puth and it's pretty fantastic

...Alright, breathe, calm down 😅
Sonic Mania was made with Christian Whitehead's own Retro Engine, built for making 2D classic Sonic games. So I don't know why/how @tattorack.bsky.social read that it was made poorly with Godot
Including hyper-realistic natural townsperson dialogue such as
"Whether you're slaying ferocious dragons, exploring beautiful vistas, or simply helping the townspeople — you truly are the Final Fantasy Explorers the world needs in this epic story.
You're not just characters — you're adventurers."
I think I've only watched the KH Re:Coded cutscene movie twice in the last 12 years, but I distinctly remember that it had *multiple scenes* where they spend 5-10 minutes standing there talking about the enemy in detail, and how dangerous the battle will be
And then 10 seconds of fighting it
Sonic Mania wasn't made with Godot at all. It was pretty universally praised, apart from the common nitpick of "75% of it was older levels".
The only Sonic game made in Godot is Sonic Colours Ultimate, in 2021. Which is a fairly poor remaster of the 2010 Wii game which suffered technical issues
For me I've spent a lot longer with Unreal's Blueprints systems and I find Unity harder to use, but I'm a designer that likes making gameplay logic & UI+UX, so Unreal clicks with me more haha
I feel Unity is more comfortable for programmers as it's more reliant on writing loads of code scripts
All I wanted to do was have the model smoothly blend between additive poses... 🙃
(After 3 hours of experimenting, I got there in the end, and I got a smooth "tilting left and right" thing I was aiming for)
The Unreal Engine 5 human character editor. A robotic mannequin stands with its leg rotated outwards.
The Unreal Engine 5 character editor, but something went wrong, and the robotic mannequin's limbs are the size of a planet. They are warped and stretched outwards, and the fingers curve upwards like wings. There is no observable body in the middle.
Recently I've been learning new skills in Unreal Engine (I already know Blueprints + Materials a decent amount) so I thought, why not learn basic character posing/blendspaces
...Anyway I somehow multiplied the mannequin's proportions into itself and awakened some sort of biblically accurate angel

Happy birthday Elise! 🥳🙌
Okay if this version includes motion control aiming (which the PS5 version strangely lacks) I'm buying it again
Great game
Today in the UK, the weather has been... unexpectedly nice
The sky is blue, there's no cold wind, and the sun's actually out instead of it only appearing for ~14 total days between May-August
...Is this a glitch? This feels incorrect, it's March
Also I still won't forget the time where my delivery gave me Zelda BOTW but not the actual Switch console itself for 3 more days ("locked away in a van" even when I paid for next-day redelivery) and I had to send a few emails asking for my money back
That was... a time

Happy 9th birthday to the Nintendo Switch 🥳
...(Good heavens, *nine* years?!)
This was my original launch-day model (a few years ago I gave it to a family member)
Nowadays I have my Zelda Switch OLED from 2023, and my Switch 2 from last year
Still though, looking at this feels nostalgic now 😅

UHHHH I WASN'T EXPECTING THIS TO BE SOMEWHAT OF A HORROR GAME
You collect cereals? And it took you NINE YEAReals to collect the cereals?
I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.
Outer Wilds orange logo, on a space background. A dimly lit planet with a campfire is seen.
I started playing Outer Wilds for the first time earlier today. 👀
It's.... intriguing!
Take care of yourself Carly!
Just means it'll get a 7.8/10 from IGN
A screenshot of a new starter Pokémon, named Browt, who is a grass bird. He is a yellow colour with green leaf eyebrows and a tiny green beak.
Yep this Pokémon is one of my new favourites already
Meanwhile, the list of updates for Kingdom Hearts 4:
Utterly bizarre that this isn't an upgrade if you have the Switch 1 version.
It's free if you do, which is nice, and there's Mouse Mode now, but it downloads the game again as a separate app
And you can't carry over save data / play time
