If you run a networking event pls dont hire a DJ or pump up the music.
Its. A. Networking. Event.
We need to hear what people say.
And esp for creative industries we have a room full of neirodivergents trying to balance overstimulation. It shows us neurodivergent needs are not being considered.

Fellow artists, be careful at events and exhibitions. Some run your work through gen AI without your consent.

If we see it happening, be vocal, call it out, or spread the word.
May such abusive and exploitative businesses die swiftly.

Keep a blacklist.

Fortune's Weave

Unexpected Pros:
the sprinting speed is satisfying

Unexpected Cons:
We can't pet the cats! :(
September 19, 2026 at 5:17 PM
Fortune's Weave is beautiful.

Plus i love when theres a musician bard character in these sorts of games where we dive deep into their stories :)

I still think auditions should be evaluated in a controlled and closed setting and should not be an IG popularity contest. Its to find a voice that most closely embodies the character - not the voice that the general public thinks sounds coolest.

Do what you want but it feels like hobbification.

Zelda OoT was one of the first, most impactful game for a lot of millenials.

So for the remake to be coming out, there truly is a collective sense of coming full circle as a gamer to get to experience it anew as an adult :)
September 10, 2026 at 2:27 AM
Ocarina of Time Remake is looking amazing :)

Can't wait for all the dark adult link themes and how they handle it.

Finished Dawnwalker
Loved everything about it
Epilogue was satisfying too
Excited for this universe to expand with its planned sequels
One of the best new IPs of late :)

Dawnwalker:
Great VO
Great facial animation detail
Combat system is prob the most engaging I've exp so far

Time mechanic is so good, more games should do it. V immersive to make choices on quests to do and miss out on others, other games so far have often been too obvious making replays redundant

Im worried cos if the gaming community's biggest gripe about generative AI is that its uncanny and ugly, someday gen AI might develop to look good.

If the public cares more about the quality than the ethics of art theft, environmental damage, capitalist exploitation - will they betray the cause?

Normalize reporting Gen AI flyers and ads as false advertising.
Cos it quite literally is.

They better be ready to sell us trypophobia burritos and alien mystery meat with an uncomfortable amount of holes and nodules

Existence is traumatizing because the ruling class openly commits the same acts of abuse we faced in the past, but at a societal level.
Plus seeing people around us enable or accept it.

Gaslighting
Pretending to listen
Transparent Dishonesty
Using people
Surveillance Stalking
Disregard of consent

Getting into "Minds Beneath Us"
Similar near future East Asia Vibes to "Kill the Shadow".
Believable names i.e. English or Chinese firstnames, Chinese lastnames.
Accurate speculative portrayal of multicultural Taiwan in 2050s.

Its Cyberpunk.
In a way that makes you realise IRL is now also.
August 21, 2026 at 1:43 AM
Just finished "Kill the Shadow"
Highly recommended

Pros:
Braindance-like investigation
Elysium-like dialogue
Alan wake board deduction
Strong class consciousness themes
Beautiful art, music, direction
Great (mandarin) VO

Cons:
East Asia but nobody has asian names
Iffy queer character portrayals.

If you are not an indie dev and can afford to pay fairly but dont, use the hard work of VO, AND refuse to credit THEN you relent after you realize that nobody will audition for you, your intentions have already been observed. We do not applaud you. We will remember that you used us as assets.

I better not see a single fucking person pay for this dogshit game. You fire your writers for AI? Your game flops on an unimaginable fucking scale. Fuck you.

8SEN:MELUNA has been fully funded !!! THANK YOU !!! This means I can pay all voice actors and the sound department accordingly... Still carrying the entire animation department on my own, HOWEVER

We are 15 USD away from reaching the first stretch goal which will help speed the process along!!!

"Kill the Shadow" around 10 hours in - art, art direction (mandarin) vo, gameplay, fun, vibes all amazing.

But again why in the 4kids-entertainment-pokemon-jellydoughnut did the localization team choose to erase the chinese culture out of it?

An "English" Textbook??
August 8, 2026 at 9:27 PM
Double whammy but I'm holding off on Expeditions Samurai, got "Kill the Shadow" instead which has amazing art, direction & gameplay mechanics. Set in a fictionalized asia (trad. Chinese). Great game

...so why in the Stone-Johannsen do the characters have YT full names?
Mr Smith, Irene Carter, etc.
August 8, 2026 at 2:11 AM
Making stories set in Asia and always centring the perspective on European perpetuates the othering of BIPOC cultures and orientalism.
As much as im still gonna try the game.
The historical basis has also been overdone so its not like they couldnt have chosen a different story that features jp ppl
August 7, 2026 at 5:34 PM
Im excited for Expeditions Samurai.
But can we stop making the Europeans the protagonists in every setting?
