Lunar Threads

Not sure what I'll move onto after that... Maybe go back through much older games on my list (like Parasite Eve and the Arc the Lad collection). Though also the last time I played any Lunar game was when the EB Remake came out for the PSP... and the MS:L guide could use a cleanup from getting many ...

Finally getting to some games that've long been on my list. I finished The Last of Us last month. Played through it twice: once naturally (no guides or hints), and a second time getting all the small things I may have missed. I'm currently playing Horizon: Zero Dawn. I wanted to make sure I budgeted...

Oh snap that is really fascinating. Is there a link (YouTube, Twitch, anything) to either of those runs you mentioned?

The drunk in Meribia says "Ghaleon? No, I think I'm only on my second quart", to which Nall replies "I guess you're never too young to become a lush." In Japanese, the drunk thinks Ghaleon is the name of that well-known liquor he had when he was a kid, so Nall's response makes s...

Hey everyone -- sorry it seems that with a recent upgrade the direct links to YouTube videos no longer work (or are retained). May generally be best to just post the links directly. That said, Bloodywood (who's now my favorite metal band) released another song a short while ago that's a real emotion...

I will say, it can especially be fun to translate poetry that's already been translated before. Back when I was taking literary/classical Japanese (roughly, how Japanese was written between the Heian and Meiji periods), our professor showed an example of 20 different translations of one of the most ...

Yep, both Jenner and I have done a fair bit of it (Jenner much more than me, and she's still pretty actively doing so online). As for what I've played, some DnD 3.5 (which is where I got my start, albeit a bit later than most folks since I didn't start playing until after college), did just one or t...

Well, the rule on reviving old topics is more of a guideline -- we're fine with "reviving" old topics, just as long as people are aware that if they respond to a post in the thread (that was posted pre-"revival") that they may be replying to something >2 years old at that point. ...

Ah, I see -- you mean the differences are in what's regarded as music/sfx/etc., not the naming conventions. Thank you! Again I'm not sure when we could hope to make changes -- things like a full site modernization would kind of need to happen first (sorry... we know things are outdated) but it'd be ...

Hey welcome to the forums!

Good luck and hope you're able to play/replay it soon, whether fixing your Sega CD or via emulator.

Oh this matches the one we have here: https://lunar-net.com/tss/artwork/promo-tss10.jpg (in https://lunar-net.com/tss/artwork.php) This is always great to see! Where'd you find this one? I believe the one we have is a scan from GamePro, but I recall this ad ran in a lot of the gaming magazines way b...

However, as I worked on reviewing all the tracks, it quickly became clear that LunarNET's list was far from accurate with regard to music, SFX, etc. And beyond that there are a lot of judgment calls about what amount of voice is acceptable and how much is too much to include in the collection, and ...

Unfortunately my memory is a little rusty with audio and it's really hard for me also to place these. I can only get two of them clearly. For 27 / Unknown, I am equally stumped. I cannot place this *at all*. For 52 / Relax, I also can't place where this is played in game (especially the first time)....

I already nerded out over this elsewhere, but it's REALLY AWESOME you also captured the interviews and music video at the end! So much 90s JPop goodness.

Ok I'm reviving this because right now, for some reason, I really want to watch this movie. I've been watching scattered clips and it's so over-the-top that it looks delightfully absurd. This would've been such a fun "it's bad but it's good" movie to have seen, were it not for $15 tickets ...

One of the last events I went to before lockdowns/social distancing was with Lesley Nneka Arimah, author of What It Means When a Man Falls From the Sky (https://bookshop.org/books/what-it-means-when-a-man-falls-from-the-sky-stories/9780735211032). I picked up a signed copy while I was there. Arimah ...

Finally finished Journey (for the first time) weekend before last. I also had one of the most unique experiences that could only be had in a game like Journey. I played the first 2/3rds through one weekend, and picked it up the next, but sort of lost some skill at the controls. I finally joined up w...

So... how many of y'all are naming your islands Vane?

...or even Ien/Iyen?

For real if I played then I might go the Ien route and try to have MSL-themed decorations, for all the three people who might still catch that reference.

Oh... I'm not playing Animal Crossing myself (not my thing but I really enjoy watching others play it), this is just perfect. Those outfits are seriously amazing. KF

Glad to see you back!! KF
