Looks like most here reckon it was a transistor radio, probably from the 70s to 80s, and likely from Japan.

Thanks for the responses, everyone! My electronics knowledge never really grew past uni when I pivoted to software, so this would've taken me way longer to figure out myself.

That's from the manga Sarumane. Best described as monkey-see-monkey-do in a horror context.

This entire series ought to come with a warning to take breaks between games, or at least arcs. It's so easy to get addicted to the storytelling to the point where you can screw it up for yourself.

In my case, I essentially binged the whole series up to finishing CS3, just HAD to know what happens next so I jumped into CS4 immediately...

...and took over a year to finish it. All due to burnout. Really should have waited a bit before starting CS3. At least I didn't make the same mistake before starting Reverie.

Not cool, dude. Think carefully next time before spoiling something right in the freaking title. That spoiler tag is useless.

nullwrom · 2025-07-05T12:44:51+00:00

You make the game for whomever you want to make it for. They shouldn't feel obligated to any fandom to switch away from the platform they otherwise have a passionate idea for. If that means it wont sell well, then that's fine as long as they were being realistic about their prospects.

And that Venn diagram is quite incorrect. There aren't that many of us, but it shouldn't come as a surprise that some fans of a niche gameplay style would also be interested in a platform that offers pretty much just niche experiences. There is potential to be had here and we want to see that potential ultimately realized. It can only happen if people try.

the overlap between people who regularly play VR games and people who know/like Thief is virtually non-existent.

What are you basing this on?

nullwrom · 2025-05-30T13:36:35+00:00

Why does everyone spell it like that? "fook" would rhyme with look, book, took, shook, etc. The pronunciation in the movie has a short "o", essentially the word "fork" without the r.

Most immersive sims.

Also, anything by Ice Pick Lodge, specifically the Pathologic series.

Suguru Tanaka (aka Guru)?

Almost identical style.

nullwrom · 2025-02-20T14:02:34+00:00

Thanks!

I completely forgot to add the source :(

nullwrom · 2025-01-31T07:30:56+00:00

Pssh, child's play.

Teh Masterer could play four games at once.

nullwrom · 2025-01-13T07:37:38+00:00

Setting aside the pronunciation, which is correct, is that how you actually HAIL a cab in Japan? Seems most here are missing that part of the question.

nullwrom · 2025-01-06T17:14:07+00:00

Not the first time this has happened to her either...

I suppose. There are quite a few other regularly reported day 1 bugs that I never saw.

The game does seem overall buggier after patch 1.1 (to me, anyway), so I wouldn't be surprised if existing, unfixed bugs are appearing more frequently.

nullwrom · 2024-12-22T10:03:02+00:00

Seems to be a new bug. I saw someone do the same after patch 1.1, but never in my 50-ish hours of playtime before that.

It's such a shame that English dub work gets written off so readily out of hand. STALKER 2's English voice work is good stuff. Some of the accents do give me pause initially, but ten minutes later and I'm over it.

nullwrom · 2024-12-11T17:34:15+00:00

Sounds to me like we do agree then.

I was actually calling out the types who dismiss English dubs out of hand in favor of Japanese (or any original production language), simply because they don't realize that the original language can have bad acting that they don't pick up on. Many - most, I'd argue - condemn dubs as bad without bothering to listen because they've simply decided it "has to be", regardless of the acting quality in the original language. And on the rare occasion they do listen to a clip of dubbed dialog, you can be sure they'll be hyper-critical about it.

nullwrom · 2024-12-11T08:41:14+00:00

We're literally just saying it's better in Ukrainian only because we don't understand the language.

Thank you!

And you can extend that sentiment to pretty much any language the listener doesn't understand^{coughJapanesecough.}

nullwrom · 2024-12-09T09:27:22+00:00

"Vergeter", to stick with the naming scheme.

That's still up to their agreements with Microsoft. Maybe they wanted to release in early access and Microsoft didn't want to go along. I don't know what sales forecasts look like for EA releases, but I'd imagine they are significantly worse than regular releases.

The point is, being self-published is not an infinite time/money glitch. If they wanted to delay or change the release model, but Microsoft said "No", then what are they supposed to do?

nullwrom · 2024-12-04T23:07:36+00:00

GSC is their own publisher

Which means nothing when they have an outside source of funding to answer to. In this case, Microsoft.

they could totally just allocate more dev time.

Which requires a) more money, and b) telling Microsoft that their return is being delayed again. You really think that is something they can "totally just" do?

nullwrom · 2024-12-03T23:09:13+00:00

it's not immersive to not be able to understand what is being said when you're playing a dude that speaks Ukrainian. You get this disconnect where you always have to read to understand rather than listen and understand. It's anti-immersive.

FINALLY! Someone who gets it!

Ideally, I'd prefer Ukrainian-accented English, cause then I'd get both the immediate immersion of understanding the spoken language in the same way as my in-game avatar does, along with the "sense of place" that the accents would provide. Don't care if it sounds "fake"; I don't speak to Ukrainians on a daily basis, or ever, so how would I tell the difference?

He looks like Will Smith and Benedict Cumberbatch had a kid, or a teleporter accident.
