Come on down to beautiful Brighton and sign up for a summer holiday at the Eurogamer office, kids.

I worry that Square hasn't filed all of the edges off of Final Fantasy 7.
The Midgar in the old game was an unflinching representation of a real slum suffering real inequities.
I'm worried the new Midgar will be a family-safe Disney theme-park that just looks like a slum.

The Cyclists™ are acting like they didn't all have training wheels on their bicycles when they were 5 years old when training wheels are hella fun because you can't fall over see ya later losers <honk honk>

Dwight is a parody account but I laughed at the police anyway.

"Video game journalists are—"
camera cuts to a closeup of mombot's hideous scarecrow mouth as her rotten cucumber of a tongue masseuses, in slow motion, every syllable through a picket line of black road cones that might have been teeth
"ＥＸＴＲＥＭＥＬＹ
ＰＲＩＶＩＬＥＧＥＤ"

During the war, you weren't allowed to listen to jazz because it was the 'music of the enemy', so she listened to a gramophone under a pillow.
Interesting person.

ResetERA got caught hosting a bunch of lolicons in its private cryhole.
The mods have deleted all of the old chatlogs restricted access to chat logs.
Someone has already threatened to sue the leaker.

Nevermind, I found your portfolio.
Thank you for your time we'll be in touch.

The essay below provides a nuanced objection to the assertion of "男の娘-transgender interchangeability" by chronicling the 40-year history of 男の娘 subculture in Japan. Even the first few paragraphs are worth reading.

Glad I speak Japanese so I can still enjoy transphobic video games. In this house we raise gamers.

Every outrage spawned by ResetERA seems to be forgotten in days or hours, once the next "shiny" appears.
THQ Nordic posting on /v/? That was last week. Nobody cares now.
Catherine? Dead or Alive? Cyberpunk 2077? Xenoblade Chronicles? Kingdom Come? 2B's ass?
Nope.

The extradition protests in Hong Kong are wild.
"Tell Xi Jinping to send the tanks. I will be the first to block them."

Resetera had to lock their thread about the new Nintendo store in Israel because people were making inflammatory posts about the anti-Israel posters in the thread.

The Xbox version of DMC5 is uncensored in the United States, but has the same ESRB rating as the censored PS4 version.
Everything else written here can be safely ignored.

The Japanese government has already created an archive for the preservation of books and CDs, of which digitized copies can be accessed online.
Akamatsu hopes to expand this online archive to include games, envisioning a system that would allow users to play games remotely.

I translated a short Asahi Shimbun article.

I was recently told there is an entire industry of "news" sites that hire people in developing countries and pay them a few dollars to write clickbait targeted to western readers. Not just entertainment, but politics and even local news. No editors or fact checkers are involved.

Note, the Switch has surpassed the PlayStation 4 despite only being on the market for 2 years, whereas the PlayStation 4 has been on sale for about 5 years.

The game is good, by the way.
I hope that heightened western interest in the game helps to offset the sales lost from the 3 Chinese people who weren't planning to pirate it.

That's another anti-consumer practice: aggressively cracking down on fan works which may compete with official products.
Nintendo also cracks down on fan films, games, remakes, localizers, streamers, etc.
But a company protecting its IPs isn't censorship, even if they're mean. t.co/ZZ6BuvhECH
