With age verification, we talk more about privacy and surveillance concerns, and some of us don't remember what it's like to be a minor, but that quote summarizes the other side of the coin. Personally I'm concerned about how sheltering children will make bad childhoods even worse.
History needs to be a team effort. Formal and polite corrections on each other's work should be normalized for the benefit of us all ^v^
Then make sure to watch Jeremy Parish cover the NES game: youtube.com/watch?v=P1b7...
I'm working on an English translation patch for the Pokémon GS Spaceworld 1997 demo!

The vibes (animations, music, sfx) remind me of Clubhouse Games (DS, also known as 42 All Time Classics). Same developer possibly?
In Keitai Denjuu Telefang, the currency in the Denjuu world is called chiru. We always thought it's because of how it scatters from the grass when you run through it. Guess there isn't much more to it still.
This is an awesome feature!
That's what I did in 2048-gb to seed the PRNG
I think they're buying and selling characters, not sonas xD seems some people just enjoy having a ton of them and coming up with different personalities and stories for them, though I lack the imagination. I also think buying adoptables is often more a proxy for supporting the artist than anything

Think I'm gonna go wash some of my clothes today (laundratory)
Today, I have conducted a full two-and-a-half hour interview inside a text-based virtual world from the 90s... and only at the cost of waking up at 6 am!
Yaaaay congratulations ^v^
Underrated work
Not only it's utterly broken on all clients I use, it feels like there are two disjointed implementations of the topics feature with different UI?? I'm still confused
In English, if you can't figure it out, you can always "wing it" instead! ^v^
I've been researching the early online history of transformation fans. I got access to the archive of a popular mailing list, and I skimmed it for themes and topics of interest. I was astonished to find a serious discussion on species dysphoria back then, and their comment on the topic was notable.
I contacted somebody last night with an inquiry about an email they had sent in 1997. I found their writing poignant and before its time, so I wanted to ask for permission to quote it. They replied positively. I bet it was unexpected! Part of my learning to be a responsible archivist and historian.
They relocated the entire bridge? That is pretty bonkers.

I implemented dark mode for the Czechoslovak Game Archive website. It also has English text on more pages than ever!

You'd need to redo the graphics, but I think it would look interesting!
That is after all exactly what my Master's thesis was about, hehe.
While researching early internet culture, I get the feeling that communities these days just don't chronicle their history. No rich FAQs, no wikis. I see there was pride in mailing lists and websites; maybe running a Discord server just isn't the same? Telegram groups may as well be fast fashion...
Screenshot of a Sega Game Gear emulator. In-game, Pokémon Red, text states "SANQUI is playing the SMD!".

Glitchy in-battle screenshot. "CHARMANDER used SCRATCH!"
Ten years after I last worked on it, people are still writing me emails asking for my unfinished Sega Game Gear port of Pokémon Red. So I published it in its glitchy state:

Love the three of you!!

Tiles from Pokémon Gold are arranged in a linear manner, revealing blocks of graphics pertaining to the intro, the title screen, the menus, and the overworld.
A little expirement-slash-art-project, this image displays the individual tile graphics used in Pokémon Gold for the Game Boy Color. They are arranged in chronological order as they appear during regular gameplay. You could read it left to right, top to bottom, page by page, like a book.
I'm imagining traveling somewhere remote, spending my whole days outside doing bird fieldwork, and then in the evening in the cozy log cabin... just connecting online with this setup and chatting on IRC.
Excellent! Stunning!!
Enjoyed playing this one on my old Sony Ericsson three years ago until I seemingly got stuck in a softlock. One of my favorite western JRPGs
