Thompson's new outfit
Everyone is so weird about people who cry easily. Fellas, is it evil and manipulative to *checks notes* have an involuntary stress response?
actually a coworker of mine said something interesting about this. I was saying that I truly can’t help how easily I cry, and I hate when people assume I do it on purpose.
and he paused for a second and then said, “when you’ve been taught from a young age that crying is weak and you should train yourself never to cry for any reason, you assume that everyone else has trained themselves too, so anyone who cries has to be doing it on purpose. it took me a long time to realize that wasn’t true.”
listen we’re never gonna run out of ways the patriarchy hurts all of us.

So. Looks like ol' Naka really does got the awful reputation
You could have linked the actual Sega-16 post instead of the quote dunk:
This is an interview conducted by Ken Horowitz of Sega-16, in what are a long line of really great interviews. (Look up his other posts; not only does he translate old interviews he conducts lots of new ones with the old Sega guard. I recall a very juicy and hotly debated interview with Tom Kalinske, and a really fantastic one about Sony Imagesoft's role in creating the 32X)
But this particular interview is with Sega of America's old Product Manager, Mike Fischer, and it's just chock full of lots of really fun and interesting anecdotes. He has a lot of frankly very humble stories about his time at Sega of America handling products like the Game Gear and Pico, but it also leads to a lot of fly-on-the-wall moments where he talks about seeing the Sega America vs. Sega Japan divide from his perspective.
Which is, generally, that Sega of Japan was just as busy fighting with each other as they were with fighting against America. I've long said that Sega is its own worst enemy, and that appears to be more true than I could have ever realized. SOJ consistently thought they knew the right way to do everything and refused to take advice from anyone about anything, including other employees at Sega, and especially from Americans.
One particular story stood out to me, and that's Mike mentioning seeing an early prototype of the Sega Saturn where they wanted to give it kind of an iridescent, sparkling, candy apple style finish (but black, not red). Mike apparently tried to offer advice that you can't really do that with plastic injection molding, because the plastic has flow points that will ruin the pattern. If I remember right, Mike had a background in toys and gadgets, so he knew what he was talking about. The guys in Japan basically told him to piss off... only to later find out he was right and trying to injection mold that kind of glittered plastic looked like garbage.
Notably, yes, he does talk about Yuji Naka more than a few times in this, and it's mostly to mention that dealing with Naka-san was always a nightmare. He tells one particular story of trying to convey that "mature" games like GTA were on the rise in America and maybe the teams in Japan could think about games to target that wave. Yuji Naka blew up at him about how Sega doesn't make "porno" games, only to get smug about it later on and suggest they rename Billy Hatcher to "Giant Cock" because it's a game featuring chickens.
There's easily two dozen stories like that in the article and it's a great read for Sega historians.
i am cringe but i am not free 💔 im cringe and extremely self conscious
"biblical angels" you do realise there are angels in the old testament that are literally just regular looking guys, right? you do know that the hallucinogenic incoherent descriptions are in like. two books. and the rest of the time angels are just guys. you know that, right?
and I'm not saying don't have fun with weird angels. I'm saying, either the eldritch forms are for special occasions, or the society of the angels is Many-Eyed-Many-Winged-Interlocking-Circles, Four-Faces-Six-Wings, and Mike.
Literally Raphael is just a normal person!
this is what the heavenly breakroom is like
Oh no now I love the water cooler angel
best new game character thank you sony

Nobody in Hollywood has the stones to do full Kangaroo Jack -style false advertising anymore.
If the Minecraft Movie came out in 2003, it would've been a regular live-action comedy about a father and son learning to bond in the suburbs. The scenes used in the trailer of walking around Minecraft world would've been a 1-minute dream sequence.
i love that sakurai on two separate occasions has been like "what the fuck are those? i dont know. no one knows. they simply are"
Galko-Chan is still a blessing
