There's a period from about a month before a game launches until reviews come out when my anxiety builds and builds and builds. I start second-guessing every single decision and fearing that I let the fans down. Seeing this makes me so happy I could cry. We did it, team!

It's a little concerning that I even have to explain this, but here it goes anyway: having more LGBT+ visibility in pop culture does not turn straight kids gay, it makes already gay kids feel more confident and less ashamed.

Pewter always allowed AI-Balls to select their gender "according to settings". Marco must have selected non-binary using both they/them and he/him pronouns. Very inclusive, Pewter!

"Shouldn't have committed a crime"
has become
"Shouldn't have resisted arrest"
has become
"Shouldn't have been out after curfew"
has become
"Shouldn't have disobeyed the officer"
has become
"Shouldn't have been standing there"
That is now the justification. That is unacceptable.

it honestly never gets old watching streamers play AITSF or AINI when they pause the game, go on a rant about how something doesn't make sense/"well, that would mean-", only to unpause and have the VERY NEXT LINE of dialogue address their issue, I just love it

This is a perfect example of the difference between a "translation" and a "localization": Entrance-and-Exit is a technically correct translation, but no native English speaker would ever say it that way. The better translation would be Exit. That's localization, baby.

Reactionary "gotchas" are always fun. They shove some Corporate Wokeness in your face and say "Isn't this shallow? Don't you admit this won't accomplish anything?? Aren't all these companies still 'problematic'???" and you can just reply "Yes."

"Everything happened to make this happen.
And what is about to happen."
On June 24, 2022, we released AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES – nirvanA Initiative in North America. Thank you for making this happen. Tell us how the series impacted you. (no spoilers)

I can't believe I actually have to explain this, but criticising an aspect of media is NOT demanding that it be changed. "I don't like this" =/= "Change this until I like it". I don't even WANT to live in a world where I "like" everything, much less like everything equally.

I think the best possible endorsement of AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES is that someone obsessed with the idol youtuber character reviewbombed the game and people think it's some kind of 4D chess advertising because Uchikoshi is the kind of madman that just might do something like that.

nirvanA Initiative is like Terminator 2: it's a sequel but you don't have to know the original to get what's going on. It's the same genre but the themes and focus are different. It's bold rather than retreading already covered ground. And maybe...it's better than the original.

allow me to speak for the entire translation/localization industry, one who has extensive knowledge in machine-translation vs. native-speaker-translation, when I say:
this is a very, very bad idea
In coming months, Twitter will translate & recommend amazing tweets from people in other countries & cultures

@Uchikoshi_Eng
in all seriousness a "skrunkly" is the name given to a fan-favorite character, typically one that is weird/unorthodox/pathetic/vulnerable. It's sort of a meme, like instead of saying "he's my favorite character" you might say "he's my skrunkly"

do you think people like this will ever have that moment of realization, or is the sheer amount of times this exact pattern has played out proof that they never will?

btw AINI is a serious game that explores themes of destiny, identity, enlightenment, and the malleable nature of morality when faced with the infinity of chaos. There's just also scenes where the AI girl sits in the boobies

I don't "just want to fit in" or "be treated just like everybody else." I don't want to hide my identity for your comfort or approval, and I shouldn't have to.
I don't want you to treat me as though we are identical. I want you to respect how we are different.
Happy Pride.

My favorite video of his is about a "fucking disgrace" in MTG. Was he talking about pros caught cheating? The MPL's lack of direction? The price point excluding potential fans? Card quality?
No.
It's about using "they" instead of "he or she" in card text.
It's 12 minutes long.

If you're ever asking "why didn't they just do THAT?", they already thought of that, had meetings about that, planned that, sent emails about that, and talked to corporate about that, but then decided that wasn't possible, practical, and/or profitable, so they didn't do that.
Game devs, what's something that you wish the general public knew about making games?

to all Gamers whining about BG3 or Starfield or whatever for being too "woke", please put your money where your mouth is and never play a AAA release ever again. Don't stream them, don't review them, don't even mention them. Vanish from the fandom or forever be a hyporcite, thank

To paraphrase from Jenny Nicholson, I think the worst thing a series finale can do is to make you feel kind of stupid and embarrassed for ever being excited about it in the first place.

One fascinating thing about social media sites like reddit and twitter is that the conservatives there genuinely believe the prevalence of left-leaning content is some kind of conspiracy. They just cannot fathom the notion that their ideas are simply unpopular.

This is exactly what I meant when I said that conservatives seem unaware (or in denial) that their ideas are simply unpopular. No, there's not some grand conspiracy "silencing" the right and "amplifying" the left. You're not being cheated, you're literally just outnumbered.

People hypothetically complaining about a journalist they hadn't previously heard of: grounds for mockery.

supermarkets intentionally have shitty service/wifi so that you can't look up competing prices or an online grocery list so you end up accidentally buying more than you need
what’s the lowest stakes conspiracy theory you have? i think airplane mode is a hoax because they don’t want you texting your friends and telling them you’re not having fun on the plane
