King of Them All: The Story of King Records | Full Documentary | PBS

'"King of Them All" is a feature-length documentary about King Records, the scrappy Cincinnati label that reshaped American music. Founded in the 1940s by Syd Nathan, a brash outsider dismissed by the industry, King dared to put everything under one roof. In a single building, records were written, recorded, pressed, and shipped — capturing performances with an urgency the industry giants couldn’t match.

The results were transformative. James Brown’s fiery soul, Little Willie John’s smooth R&B, Hank Ballard’s rock ’n’ roll anthems, and the Stanley Brothers’ bluegrass harmonies all came through King, together forming a catalog that rewrote the sound of the 20th century. What began as “records for the little man” became a cultural force.'

'Doki Doki Poyatchio'

[PS1] [JAPAN] [MAGAZINE] [1998]

"Doki Doki Poyatchio is an early example of a “slow life” RPG, which focus on idyllic rural life and character interaction, similar to Harvest Moon. You take on the role of a young boy named Jean on his summer vacation, sent to work for a month at his cousin’s bakery in the town of Puel Cordan. On a day-by-day basis, you’ll be delivering bread and running other errands, but you can also stop and talk to the townsfolk. There are twenty-five other characters living in the town, each with their personalities and daily schedules, and different attitudes towards you depending on how you treat them. The game boasts more than 1,000 different events, depending on the day, time, and character, making for a rich adventure that can work out differently every time you play it. Of the citizens, six of them are girls around Jean’s age, who you can engage in an innocent summer romance. Among these are Luffee, who’s studying to be a witch; Chain, who loves tinkering with machines; Marin, a tomboy who loves fishing; Lina, a sickly girl who likes reading; Piaa, an arrogant girl who sees herself as Luffy’s rival; and Cynthia, a serious girl studying to be a judicial officer. The artwork is by Umihara Kawase illustrator (and Studio Saizensen founder) Toshinobu Kondo; Marin also resembles the titular protagonist from that game." ~Kurt Kalata, @hardcore-gaming-101
