Good day of recording today. Got the first new "Patrons Only S" video recorded, too, and that's currently rendering — should hopefully be with S-Rank patrons tomorrow assuming all goes well. You'll have to wait and see what that's all about!
Other stuff you can look forward to this week includes English Software's Xenon Raid on Atari 8-bit, a public domain version of Q*Bert for Atari ST, Jill Goes Underground (aka Jill of the Jungle episode 2) for MS-DOS PC and Super Asteroids and Super Missile Command for Atari Lynx via Evercade. Quite a nice mix of stuff, I'm sure you'll agree — and you'll be pleased to hear the Jill Goes Underground vid is a full playthrough again.
The weekend's been a strange mix of quiet and chaotic, largely due to the fact it's been fairly calm and peaceful for me, but I'm also quite aware of some of the shit my friends in the localisation biz have been having to deal with recently. It's all been rather coming to a head recently — hence an article I wrote on Rice this week — and I think a lot of people have had their eyes opened to the behaviour of… shall we say, the more toxic end of the community.
Thankfully I've remained free from any harassment or having to deal with any shit, so it's mostly just been kind of baffling, amusing and horrifying by turns to witness. I mean, we're talking about one dude who literally equated the author of a Japanese VN deciding that he doesn't want to do 18+ works any more… to the Holocaust. All because he decided to coincide his decision to go all-ages with the work's localisation to English.
The Internet was a force for good. But I don't think that whole "everyone has a voice" thing is working out quite as well as people intended.
