Maeda Jun's life in general is very tragic. Not only he didn't think much of himself (always saw himself below others - example being he doesn't consider Kanon to be his work. He considers himself to be inferior to Hisaya Naoki despite putting effort into creating Kanon as much as Hisaya did…)

From being screwed over with all his anime original content, being bullied on internet over some of them even to the point he deactivated his account… Even considered suicide after backlash over one of HBR's events. Then all heart issues a decade ago over which forced him to cancel AB! VNs.

It's all so tragic and honestly I think he deserves better. I hope he enjoys what he was rest of his life doing what he loves… and I hope he knows that his works changed a lot of people and that he's in no way inferior compared to anyone…

Waking up to this is devastating...

MAGES seems to have some sort of new division christened "The Future Gadget Laboratory" that appears to do nothing but shit out AI shovelware like that 100%-genAI-coded FPS game ("Juggernaut") and "How to AI Coding." Beyond fascinating game.mages.co.jp/topics/2008/

Out of all sixth generation consoles, video output wise, the PlayStation 2 aged the worst. Even with a video upscaler you'll still get a blurry output. The Xbox, GameCube, and even heck the Dreamcast too, have such a great video output when set to 480p.

Such is a way when vast majority of PS2 games are basically 480i. The hardware was really weak compared to competition. Sadly though it was the most successful one too...

It's my great pleasure to give a long overdue progress update on our fully human-translated and human-coded English patch for the legendary Tokimeki Memorial 2!

Today is the 25th anniversary of the Ace Attorney series! The first game was released in Japan on October 12, 2001 for the Game Boy Advance.

The Ever17 PlayStation 2 patch is still a thing and WIP~ If everything goes according to the plan, a public release will be out this year hopefully.

You can’t even comprehend how important Eien ni Hen’s work is to the fan translation community. Romancing SaGa, Fire Emblem, Sakura Wars, Tear Ring Saga, Glory of Heracles, Dragon Force II, Dark Half, Beyond Oasis, Psi-O-Blade, Arabian Nights, and so much more. What a loss. Rest in peace.

In memory of the translator, Eien ni Hen. May she rest in peace.

I'm trembling while writing this: Kamaitachi no yoru—not the PC remake, not the iOS port, but the actual original SFC version—has been translated at last by ButThouMust, who graciously brought us an English patch for Otogirisou in the past. This is HISTORICAL.

[Official TL] FAKKU aqcuired Fairytale's entire catalogue Plan is to bring old PC-98 games to modern OS The list includes: Dengeki Nurse, Pia Carrot e Youkoso, Shinjuku Monogatari, Ballade for Maria, Jinmon Yuugi, Count Dracula, Necronomicon, Marine Philt, Dead of the Brain 1&2

One fascinating thing about difference between Dreamcast and other versions of Ever17 is that in the DC ver. Sora's stole isn't transparent at all. This is exclusive to Dreamcast for some reason.

I wonder why is that the case… I assumed it's because perhaps the Sega developed filesystem (PVR) doesn't support transparency? The sprites that are dumped from the Dreamcast version don't have a transparent background for are rather green entirely. In the PS2 version, they are transparent.
