The SNES and DS versions also run at different aspect ratios (but almost the same resolution). The SNES is 4:3 with non-square pixels, so the DS version looks thinner. This exaggerates the effect of the DS version’s thinner font even more.

I always felt like the DS version was harder to read; looking at them side by side, I see I wasn’t making things up! The SNES version’s font genuinely has bolder lines that are a bit easier to read.

I’ve been replaying Chrono Trigger lately! First time playing with the original translation in a long time.

The DS version uses a different font from the original - the same one used in the GBA Final Fantasy ports. It’s a thin, very compact varaible-width font.

The SNES version also uses a variable-width font, but it’s a wider font that budgets two pixels for major lines.

Sorry I haven't been on much lately. Turns out getting married is really busy??? And I've been very tired.

The wedding is over, the wedding party is over now too... I guess all the big planning stuff is actually in the past?!

My city pop album playlist for last night's wedding party:

Toshiki Kadomatsu - Sea is a Lady
CBS Sound Image - The Aegean Sea
CBS Sound Image - New York
CBS Sound Image - Pacific
Seaside Lovers - Memories In Beach House

Mega Duck and Cougar Boy is my favourite Robert Rodriguez film

It turns out planning even a small low key wedding takes a ton of work and is stressful???

Please, please appreciate how wonderful the Creamy Mami opening is. It’s an 80s music-themed magical girl show, and they really play up the 80s aesthetics in a great way. youtu.be/8zIsD32pNDg

Jun Togawa once did a song over a loop from a Casio keyboard. I love her. youtu.be/UInWQiDGnZ8
