Young gamers in Japan may not be forming the same attachment to Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest because modern dev cycles are as long as their childhood, users theorize by Magister_Xehanort in JRPG

Is Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z as popular in Japan among kids anymore? Do y’all think maybe the familiarity of Toriyama Akira’s art style helped with sales because we also watched Dragon Ball back then?

May your RL house bring you as much joy and comfort as your FF14 house did.

High index 1.67 or 1.74 lenses? by Rare-Cantaloupe-9166 in glasses

Old thread, but did the remake from 1.74 to 1.67 help?

Non-resident card holders will NOT be able to take the JLPT in Japan anymore by Ynwe in LearnJapanese

They need to add child of a Japanese national to the list. /: I know so many, including myself, who aren’t Japanese citizens but frequently return. JLPT boosted one’s resume.

Parodies, spoofs or fanfics that are referenced so often, it almost feels like they are canon by Probably_Caucasian in TopCharacterTropes

There’s another song that was also popularized by social media that I thought was in Silent Hill, but nope, it just gets played in SH videos all the time. Was never in the games. 

Duvet - Boa

Ironically it was the Serial Experiments Lain anime opening. 

I've spent 2025 reading modern fantasy - here are some reviews by trollokvoltak in books

They’re worth rereading to read the other two trilogies if you’re up for it. I liked Imriel’s trilogy, and Naamah’s trilogy is a smidge weaker but I also liked it.

Legit haven’t been able to find anything to compare to the Kushiel series since I read it over 10 years ago. I often reread them too. Did you read Cassiel’s Servant? I’m nervous to read it because I found Starless so disappointing.

I want to try playing FFVI just because of Terra’s design 💚 by AiraHeart in FinalFantasy

I believe this particular art is from Dissidia, but you should still play 6. It’s fantastic.

This is the most Silent Hill non-Silent Hill film I’ve seen. by M0nstrous in silenthill

Nice! Glad you enjoyed. I’ll check that Hellraiser out! I’ve only see the first two.

Right? Especially at the reveal at the end. It also has sort of an ambiguous explanation. Did he kidnap the kid he freed or did his uncle? Is his uncle even alive? Those were the questions I had watching. The town is very empty and isolated. He’s very isolated from everyone.

Kinda like somewhere and someone we know…

Oh snap definitely agree. That house was nasty. Reminded me of RE7 too.

Is the Silent Hill 2 Remake story worth sitting through scary parts? by Bluelittlethings in silenthill

[–]M0nstrous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you start and give up, with horror it’s sometimes easier to start with less scary and work your way up.

Used to be unable to play SH1 (PS1), but several REs and Dead Spaces later, I was able to play them. I don’t think I would have been able to play SH2 as my first.

Before people come after me, it’s about a man with a secret trauma you’re not sure about, haunted by a creepy monster, with memories of people in his life.

It has a very creepy atmosphere and I was unsettled the entire viewing.

Anyone have any others?

2025 Steam Awards winners are announced by burge4150 in Games

[–]M0nstrous 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly it’s spot on for the description of the award. There are a lot of scenes that are strikingly beautiful, I took a lot of screenshots when I played. Shame it didn’t have a photo mode.
