What is the most savage fail quote in Rhythm Heaven Groove?

In Rhythm Heaven Fever, you would get the phrase "Keep Trying" only if you failed the game but you were close to OK.

I wanted to share this to objectively scale up "Try Again" and "Keep Trying" against each other in terms of positivity according to previous localization decisions in past Rhythm Heaven games.

In the Groove equivalent of this:

"Try Again" is replaced by "Keep Trying"

"Keep Trying" in the green speech bubble is replaced by "Keep at it! You'll do better next time!"

River City Girls 2 will be free on Epic Games on July 2-9!

Out of the revealed freebies for the next 2 weeks, RCG2 appears to be the most valuable by far with 40 dollars.

This is the perfect opportunity to add RCG2 to your library and play it if its price tag was turning you off!

Well-deserved flex for Unity and other C#-based gamedevs

It isn't that tough, really. The secret is to use >!invariant culture for methods that accept floats or strings.!<

What does creation of new rating words imply for a potential international re-release of the first Rhythm Tengoku game in the future?

I am referring to a future official re-release, not the fan translation.

In my opinion, the new ratings in Groove (Keep Trying, Really Good, and Amazing) change the future possibilities quite a bit. If Rhythm Tengoku gets an official international re-release, it is now more likely to be created as an enhanced version from scratch with the new rating words rather than a direct translation of the original game, which still includes the old ratings.

How many VAs with Wikipedia pages are aware of this? Are their agencies taking care of this stuff?

I have recently seen Paul Castro Jr. complain about his Wikipedia photo in X, and other VAs have responded to him by saying the same about their own Wikipedia photos.

When I asked Wikipedians, though, they redirected me to this very clearly-written page with examples:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:A_picture_of_you

I am not a VA, but I simply want to help out the community by pointing this out if it's obscure. Because the requirements seem pretty simple to me, and even if VAs themselves are too busy to research this, surely their agencies could help them?

Is Lawrence Loudmouth good or meh? Does he appear in the reboot or other media?

I think he appears only in the "Masked Mallard" episode in DuckTales 1987 series. I honestly thought he was a pretty clever villain and I had found it pretty cool how he had managed to keep Scrooge and Gizmoduck on their toes even though he is just a crooked journalist and doesn't have any superpowers like Magica and the other recurring villains.

Also curious why he uses his "Incidentally, love the X" phrase only early in that episode and stops using it later lol

The Support Ticket From the Future

It was June. A support ticket was sorry it had missed Halloween, so it went back in time.

It wanted a well-made costume from the tailor, who was sharp enough to tell it was a time traveler.

The tailor dressed the ticket's head up as ToUpper, its body as ToLower, and tied its shoes with ToString.

The ticket replied: "That's not a costume! That's what I already am!"

Amazing attention to detail: In the "Scroogerello" episode of DuckTales 1987, Huey (red) is consistently transformed into a blue coachman and vice versa,

Considering how these transformations have such brief animations, I wouldn't expect the animators to make them consistent. That's the legendary DuckTales cartoon for me, I guess :)

Still curious why they didn't keep the triplets' original color scheme during the transformations, though. Maybe to make the transformation more obvious?

What do you think about Devolver's dare of releasing their game on the same day as GTA 6?

Since they define themselves as an "indie video game publisher", I thought this sub would be suitable to discuss them. Link to the tweet:

https://x.com/devolverdigital/status/2062169621931631041?s=20

If you've had any, how was your experience with Devolver Digital? Do they live up to their PR stunt here? (which honestly impressed me as a non-dev gamer, hence my like. I also had enjoyed a couple of games published by them)

Do game dev companies (indie, triple-A etc.) have similar work culture to white-collar jobs in other branches of engineering? (non-game CS, mechanical design, etc.)

  • Is there a strict hierarchy or bureaucracy among the different layers of administration? (leads, managers, directors, vice presidents?)
  • How often do CEOs or other suits visit the actual game dev environments?
  • Does it take long for newcomers to have the same level of influence as seniors? Both in technical access privileges and culture-wise?
  • How do seniors treat newcomers? Is there the same unwritten rule of "tell them just enough to let them figure things out by themselves"? Does this change according to department?
  • What are the common departments? QA, Programming, Visuals and Music, Project Management, and Marketing?
  • Are visuals and music usually outsourced or done by permanent staff?
  • Are publishers the equivalent of internal customers?
  • Do you do bonding activities like going out for dinner or picnic together often?

Thanks for your time, and sorry for this barrage of questions!

Has anyone checked the River City Girls comic at the SCV collectibles show?

I took this pic from WayForward's social media post yesterday.

Has anyone visited the SCV collectibles show and checked this comic?

I am curious how they have adapted the animated in-game manga panels to printed media. And more importantly, will this comic become a series? The number "#0" at top right and the word "debut" in WayForward's post below makes me cautiously hopeful, to be honest. Link to the post below:
