We're at the stage where ChatGPT is actively encouraging its users to take copyrighted (translated) work, add their name to it, and submit it to specific magazines. It truly is an automated theft machine. www.timeextension.com/features/cha... (via @timeextension.com)

I am not a fan of gatekeeping in retro stuff. We're long past the event horizon where people can hold even just the "major" stuff in their head. And only the most dedicated of obsessives can even assemble a "big picture". Not knowing a particular game is common, even if you like the old games.

Seen this going around but I’m Reposting it with the full alt text bc everyone deserves to read this glorious reply from Boy George

I grabbed this on a whim one day for my Switch last year and fell in love with it. If you’re looking for something cheap and cool to play, can’t recommend it enough.

Former Sega dev. manager Kenji Tosaki recently explained the impact the Nintendo 64's analog stick had at Sega. He said that while the Saturn 3D controller had a short development process, Sega had to restart it twice once they saw Mario 64. The analog control was clearly the future of gameplay.

All US media will describe Israel's declaration of war as "preemptive" and Iran's response as "unprovoked."

“BlueSky is dead” legitimately means “I can’t rile and control people with fear and hate and then sell them the magic bean solution to everything wrong”, it’s all a goddamn grift.
