Obscure Game #1

Innocent Tears is an odd one. It is an Xbox exclusive RPG from Japan. Why that is so interesting is that we associate aforementioned style of game with consoles like PS2.

It is more on the strategical side of the things. I have not played it fully due to the language barrier.

The art style for it is amazing, peak anime with the hints of dark atmosphere and from what I understand from the dialogue is that it is taking itself seriously which is up to my alley. I love it when a game takes itself seriously.

I wish it received a fan translation. Or released for the PS2.

From what I have heard is that it was supposed to be released for the Dreamcast. But moved to Xbox.

If you can emulate it why not give it a chance. Xbox emulation is getting better.

C'est Noël ! C'est une période où j'aime poster l'article d'un jeu #JapanOnly ! Cette année c'est Twilight Syndrome sur PS1 que j'ai choisi ! Souvent cité comme un des premiers jeux de Suda51, il est surtout un "Sound Novel" anthologique sur les récits de fantôme des années 90s. Il retranscrit si bien cette époque qu'il nous procure nostalgie pour une époque qu'on a pourtant pas connu !
Une belle plongée pour un jeu qui a fait plus d'écho qui n'y parait.

"Mechanical Violator Hakaider" would be a great name for a battery powered dildo.

PS: This guy is a biker, so they probably call him "violator" because he has collected all the 151 possible traffic violations. No sex involved here.

TikTok上的說書人,年輕人用30秒影片改變實體出版界 | DQ 地球圖輯隊

你有在用TikTok嗎?當多數人還以為TikTok上面只有追求娛樂的短影音時,TikTok正悄悄地改變實體出版界。自2020年開始,TikTok開始出現一個神祕的標籤——#BookTok,許多歐美或日本的年輕人將自己閱讀完書籍的心得拍成短影音,沒想到至今#BookTok標籤的觀看次數已經累積到980億。而只要在TikTok上面被推薦的小說,不管是即將出版抑或是堆在倉庫裡的滯銷書,都可能在一夕之間爆紅,衝上暢銷排行榜。
