Lunar Threads

Ahh this one is really good!

I've been playing this gem lately:
Cloudpunk (launch trailer)

My relative understanding of the hardware as well is that quads on the Saturn were almost always more difficult to draw than the triangles on the PS1. ... Thanks for this context! Now that we're so far removed from console wars (or at least, way past my ability to care about them) knowing about the...

I'm not much of an anime fan these days, but I revisited Utena not too long ago. It feels more relevant now than ever before. Utena is a masterpiece. It's Femminism and Gender roles: the anime! Jenner is basically summoned at the very mention of Utena. I've only watched a bit but yes, it's extraord...

This is great!! I saw that this even got re-tweeted by Kei Shigema!

Just FYI, being almost done with the three days doesn't mean you're almost done with the game XD

I'm not sure how true this is, but one often-cited thing about the Saturn is that it was designed for 2D graphics and arcade ports of existing Sega properties, while Playstation was designed more for 3D. That's often given as a reason why Saturn didn't make it when games started going much more 3D a...

Track list's complete, and no, it didn't take me 10+ years to do it. XD This is great btw, and for real given how old this site is, I don't think anyone's in a position to give you flak over getting back to something 10 years later. ......(I say looking in the mirror and feeling bad about never get...

Finished Horizon: Zero Dawn, including the Frozen Wilds DLC. Total time... somewhere north of 200 hours. Now I'm going through New Game+ mode XD It's definitely one of my favorite games now, and I'm really glad I was able to completely avoid spoilers until I finally played. I think I'll go through N...

Hey so not commenting on the script itself (it's a tremendous task and ask, I'm sure you're aware of the size of this kind of a project!). But just regarding being able to attach something: I'd suggest something like a Google Document that you can link here. The forum... ancient as it is... isn't re...

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.
