TIL there is apparently no way to emulate the CD-i version of The 7th Guest on PC because it requires a CD-i add-on called the Digital Video Cartridge. I checked three different emulators and none of them support DVC.

It's a real shame, too, because it looks like they re-rendered all the walking transitions in a much higher framerate than the DOS version, and I'd love to get some hi-res footage of that. It's fucking smooth as butter!

a capitalist would look at the doujin art scene that has sprung up around Touhou, encouraged and cultivated by its author with his permissive licensing, and say that, despite ZUN being famous/beloved and easily making enough to live off of, that he's a failure, as he hasn't turned Touhou into a paperclip maximizer

but if your goal is the enrichment of culture and the arts, upholding storytelling traditions and inventing new ones, of inspiring and bringing together the next generation around a shared medium, then Touhou and ZUN have succeeded beyond all expectations, in its own niche way

capitalism is a thought-terminating cliche that cannot fathom people valuing things other than monetary growth

ZUN's author notes of Touhou 19: Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost are, once again, inspiring

in a world that demands perfection and efficiency, imperfection and the flow of creativity within art scenes amount to an act of rebellion

Boy it's hard to get around the modern internet without anything like a scroll wheel. Everything's designed around just being a quick swipe. Scroll bars are too narrow to grab, arrow keys are often interpreted as "next/prev item", pgup/pgdn go...well, an entire page at once.

Humans outlive their ability to drive safely by ten years, yet most cities are built on the assumption they’ll do it forever.

To allow for successful aging in place, we must rethink our car-first streets and provide amenities within a short walk or roll.
