In the span of 30 years I've seen the discourse go from "cartoons are for children" -> "Japanese cartoons are inferior" -> "Japanese cartoons are awesome" to finally, "Western cartoons are calling themselves anime to let you know they're good"
The ‘TOMB RAIDER’ anime will release on October 10 on Netflix.
Starring Hayley Atwell as Lara Croft.

Every time I see Angela Anaconda, I can only think about that kid who went to see the Digimon movie and it resulted in his parents getting a divorce because of the Angela Anaconda advert

Fun fact, these are all of Wizardry 1's playable races
The fact we don't see other common DnD races like half orc or half elf makes me think it's the Wizardry fan in her

Honestly, this kind of makes me want to watch an anime whose comedy is reliant on pop-culture references and cutaway gags.
Just so I can see how Japan's pop culture differs

Seeing as how people seem to think all indies are either Roguelikes, Metroidvanias or Horror games, how about a nice list of good Indie games launched between 2023-2024 that don't fall into that category, starting with:
NIGHTMARE KART, a PS1-styled horror themed Car Combat game

In Wizardry 8 there's a questline that can only be completed if you're carrying an item that you can only get in Wizardry 6.
This means you have to use and import said party across 3 games and keep that item on your inventory

Is this why so many cartoons from the 70s and 80s seemed to have a musical interjection almost every other episode?
They were hoping to be replicate Sugar's success?
Welcome to 1969:
- “Sugar, Sugar”, the number one song in America is credited to a fictional band - The Archies.
- Apollo 12 is headed to the moon, and the same bubblegum tune is playing on board.

I can think of no great example than this episode of Batman TAS
Even as a Kid, you could tell when a cartoon was animated in Japan. You'd watch something like Tiny Toons, & suddenly the animation quality would skyrocket. I see the stuff TMS did in the 80s &, it's so fluid it makes me wonder how it ended up being made in the first place.

It's crazy how so many reviews of retro first person dungeon crawlers that were written in the 2000s / 2010s basically amount to
"I keep getting lost and there's traps everywhere. This game sucks. It's just too old and archaic"

"But he's a Jedi Master"

"But he had time to think. They even meditated"

15 years from now we'll have Gen Alpha youtubers and social media users treating Half-Life 2 as if it were some obscure game that had zero impact on the industry
You can quote me on this
When Valve created Half-Life 2, I’m not sure this is a future anyone could have predicted. Yet, here we are.

Have you seen how often trained athletes fumble a ball or make plays that leave everyone scratching their heads? Including the highest grossing athletes?
And Obi-wan was a padawan straight out of Jedi bootcamp

This game has now gotten hundreds of negative reviews because it's missing a language.
Imagine review bombing an indie dev because of this
There are many ways to ask tiny indie devs to add localization to their game. These requests can be polite or rude, but leaving a negative review for missing localization is one of the worst approaches.
I pay localizations from my pocket, and I hate blackmail practices!🤬🥺🤢

Megaman legends only got 3 games released back-to-back in the late 90s and I still see it on my timeline at least once a week.

The N64 did not lay the foundations of 3D gaming. The sooner we end this myth, the sooner people will stop calling the N64 "overrated"
You don't get to justify being a knee-jerk edgelord on the back of something that single-handedly laid the foundations of 3D gaming.
I was there. In the industry. Mario 64 was beyond a synergy. It was a true creative vision.
The flaws only highlight its genius.

You know, you could just enjoy a game and not care if it gets GOTY nomination or if the reviews are even good to begin with
Not a single “mixed” review. Looks like it’s probably going to settle in around an 89/90.
Lower than I expected, but still one of the top reviewed games of the year. Unfortunately it may not be good enough for a GOTY nomination.
For Nintendo games, that means the last hope is Prime 4.

I love how indie games started out with vector graphics, then moved to 8-bit, 16-bit and now 32-bit.
I'm all for this. Can't wait until we start seeing indie PS2/Dreamcast/PSP graphics
Cold and Afraid | My PS1-Style detective game, is approaching 2 years of development. I'm working hard for a 2025 release... Can't wait for you to play it.
