Heavens FeelIn one of his recent broadcasts, RGE observed that consumers are not buying DEI/woke games. This article from substack looks at the phenomenon and finds some other reasons for this development (DEI/woke is a contributing factor but it is not the sole cause, at least according to the article.)
The article has a NSFW image so don't look at it if you're at work.
I made a PDF of the article but I'm including a link to the original resource.
@Kyonko802 It's amazing to see people translating a project that think it's a good idea to add stuff that's not in the original work. At most they could include optional notes for the target audience (example: they're eating ozoni, a Japanese New Year's soup made with a light miso or kombu dashi broth, vegetables and mochi rice cakes, or 22C = 71.6F, etc.)
Too many people think the finished works of anime, manga and Asian videogames are canvases ready for them to scribe their retarded fanfiction or woke politics onto.
@deadheat The announcement I read suggested that instead of shutting down, Baest will be ported to revolver by p@fsebugoutzone.org. But even so, I think it's good to bring my alts up to speed. To quote KCDC from The FP, "It's like toothpaste. Just in case." revolver.png
@j >Edit: it seems revolver will be ready before then so @p will migrate Baest to revolver so nothing will go away.
Papa bless! I really like the chill vibes here. I want it to stick around for a long, long time.
@mikuphile you don't need a bleeding edge computer to emulate PSP. It's fine. He was talking about controller latency (input lag).

Heavens FeelI knew i'd be waiting a while for my car repair so when i went to the dealership I brought an old laptop, a cheapo pair of headphones, an Xbox controller, and an 8bitdo adapter (to wirelessly connnect the controller to the computer). I got in some good progress with K-on! Houkago Live, the To Aru Kagaku Railgun VN, and a bit of holocure. Later on the auto tech asked me questions about how I paired the controller to the laptop and if there was any latency. IMG_20240826_075937564.jpg

Heavens FeelSo, before I get too into my review, I should fess up to being one of the few people who actually enjoyed Alien Covenant. I never had an issue with the creatures being BOWs, and that explanation was enough to account for the bizarre bio-organic morphology. The writers found a way to include some of the material from
Covenant and Prometheus in this interquel movie (it's set before Aliens and takes place after Prometheus and after Alien.)
Having seen Alien Romulus, I can say that the people involved in
it genuinely love the Alien franchise. This includes all the
movies as well as the videogame Alien Isolation. Their presence is felt strongly in this film which in a way is a "greatest hits" compilation of things from the Alien series of films. The sets of the Romulus and Remus modules on the space station will probably take you back to your high-tension runs through the Sevastapol or remind you of the Nostromo's layout
in the first film. Character beats and nods to existing continuity are scattered throughout the film which will be enjoyable for many fans looking for a return to classic form.
The crew is disposable (this is a body count film set in outer space, with the heroes being in the worst place at the worst time, which is
to be expected) but there were no annoying girlbosses or awful woke moments that took me out of the film. With that out of the way, there was one thing I found incredibly annoying about the promotion for the film. The trailers for Alien Romulus showed off too much of the film. If I'm going to see a horror film, I shouldn't see who gets attacked and/or killed by the monster in the trailer. This should be common sense.
Is Alien Romulus worth seeing in the theater? Ultimately no. Think of it as a better-than-expected rental from Blockbuster back in the day. It'll hit Hulu (and also torrents) in a few months and you can see it then. But as it's a horror film, set the mood right by watching it with headphones on at night in a darkened room.
Final Rating: B, but fans the Alien franchise will get more
out of it. For them, the rating would be a B+.
