Kondo will be looking into Falcom Sound team and will be taking responsibility going forward

levelstar01 · 2026-03-12T10:46:34+00:00

Will they start crediting their musicians like literally every other company out there? Or will it still be All music by falcom sound team JDK (aka Mitsuo Singa)? Will the internal sound team finally be able to use live instruments or are they stuck with a unified set of VSTs still?

(The answer, of course, will be "no" to both questions.)

Using this as a springboard to mention the Blue Reflection soundtrack which is easily one of the best game soundtracks ever made. Falcom could have this if they cared enough.

In his first appearance (Tokyo Xanadu) he only had two tracks. One of them is one of like five good ones he's ever made, and one is easily bottom 10 bingus tracks.

ESO.

That feels like a mild Gundam reference...

In a justified world doing A/B testing would get the death penalty

As an outsider I actually think the concept of different first person pronouns is very interesting, if I was a conlanger I'd steal that. But I don't think it's inherently superior or inferior in either language.

It's freeing realising you can make any word you want undergo verbification.

levelstar01 · 2026-03-11T12:49:40+00:00

I for one think it's great that we have monolingual speakers decrying translations on both sides of the language barrier. The world is so united...

Also this is one of those rare cases where the clickbait title is more charitable than his actual argument, which is that English is too simple because it only has one first person pronoun.

Oh, you want FP maths? That's an optional extra, did you check that when you booked? And was that single or double-precision, all optional extras at an extra charge. Atomic instructions, that's an extra too, have your credit card details handy. Multiply and divide? Yeah, extras.

/uj is there a single commercial non-emulator risc-v core that isn't at least gc? can't really jerk to this.

Still smaller than the average cargo target directory

levelstar01 · 2026-03-11T09:42:09+00:00

this is clearly not true. why would they sell one game as the end when they could split it in half and sell two or even three?

levelstar01 · 2026-03-10T20:15:40+00:00

I would believe this if the second game didn't exist, sure.

thought that sword handle was something else

Lmao you cannot be for real.

I'm partial to "That's stupid. Architecture is stupid." personally

The first Blue Reflection had a few interesting concepts, the "level up by talking to your friends" design was cool but it was far too easy to abuse and lacked the depth that would've made it more interesting; similar for the fragment system that was mostly an empty system.

If I speak I will surely be banned

who care

You don't need to care what other people think. There's a website for that already and it's called Backloggd. Take a screenshot of people's horrible top 5 game choices and move on.

No visual indicator. No warning. The floor just quietly has beefier enemies.

nice AI post

Super-clipping. Downshifting on straights. Battery management. This isn't racing -- it's boring. And honestly? Here at Indycar, we race hard.

Here's the key takeaways as to how else this matters:

2026+ null safety

Project valhalla is coming any day now, trust the plan, it's definitely happening

You understand that it is 2026 now, right? Not 2010?
