matana completed RE: Code Veronica X
it's shit
I played it on PS2 and actual old TV and literally couldn't see the majority of locations because some gamedev decided to be particularly sadistic back in 1998
after struggling to find a fucking door in a save room for several times I switched to the emulator with cheats enabled and even in these conditions the game was a barely visible slogfest

I know that it's super early to call in any shots and predictions, but this looks really, really good
the upside of a long period of not playing: I can really feel Japanese lessons paying off
I am not skilled enough yet to play Three Houses entirely in Japanese, but I've become much better in detecting the typical localizer bullshit and then deciphering what was actually there either by ear or by visiting the Three Houses datamine website
and Petra is steadily solidifying her best waifu position, too, because her thing is simplified speech of a foreigner, her speech is indeed simple, full of desu/masu!
despite my better judgement, matana played Silent Hill 3
and well I'll be, this is actually a very well done game! It is spooky and scary and the sound design with the level design are able to make your skin crawl, and Heather has a character and she actively shows it
the madlads took two games, but they done it, it's a good game! I recommend it to everyone

I read 'The splashes of star seas', the book is so obscure that it has neither any official English translation nor a basic wiki page I could link
I have been quite literally moved to tears: I fucking hate this book, its authors, and even with my libre approach to creativity I think these two should've been banned from writing permanently
so, in short, it's very good but also very depressing, which is surprising for a hopeful space communism setting
I would recommend it, had it any English TL, but also would never recommend it and burn all its copies
also the heist apartment is straight up snatched from GTA V, same with several animations
want to change my pfp so it's been long overdue for me to provide the source for those who may not know
