Video Essayist Lindsay Ellis was talking about a movie production and said "the script is on Internet Archive" and I found it was hard to find, so I just assembled over 1,100 screenplays and scripts (and growing) and they have a collection now: archive.org/details/scri...

El PSOE se porta con Israel como un señorito de club exclusivo que se ofende ante el comportamiento soez de sus congéneres. Frunce el ceño ante sus excesos y proclama abiertamente lo indecoroso que le parece todo, pero no se plantea ni por un momento abandonar el club. Patético.

The entirety of screwball edutainment FPS I.M. Meen has now been recreated in the GZDoom engine. Effectively a full standalone remake/remaster. Just unpack the ZIP file into the same directory as your (freshly updated) GZDoom executable and run as normal. It'll be in the game list.

Today I discovered that people have been uploading old stock photo CD-ROMs to the Internet Archive and now I'm obsessed with the mid-'90s business-core aesthetic.

Google Alerts notified me of a youtube video called "What Is Japan's Stance On LGBTQ+ Rights? - Japan Past and Present", so I clicked on it thinking it might be related to @jppinfo.bsky.social, but it turned out to be AI-generated junk from a channel that churns out multiple videos an hour.

A lot of people hired to write the history of this moment are going to try to tell us that it was impossible to know what was going on in Gaza until approximately May 2025

I kept seeing people say that Final Fantasy XI still needed PS2 devkits to make new content, despite no longer being playable on PS2 for many years. The FF wiki claims it too, with no source. Well, here it is. It sounds like they scrounged dozens of devkits from around the world.

the modern conception of identity feels close to like what nationalism used to be. instead of there being a shared destiny with people in your country, it's people in your group. and like with nationalism, that idea is increasingly breaking down into violence and scapegoating of vulnerable groups

They think we're stupid and the worst part is that a ton of folks will take the defense at face value because they will never acknowledge western society's role in enabling this unless forced to.

Fourteen Thousand. The long campaign to dehumanize Palestinians is, fundamentally, about this. To provide cover for the annihilation of a people and their culture, from the youngest to the oldest, to shrugs from the most powerful nations in the world.

At some point you have to wonder what's even the point of having independent games criticism if all you're doing is following the same tired treadmill that literally every news outlet that's been hollowed out in the last 5 years has followed to its eventual death.

They are literally forcing all of Gazans into a concentration camp in what used to be Rafah in southern Gaza, after destroying it. They are now planning on annihilating Khan Younis. There’s never been a genocide so thoroughly documented as it was live-streamed straight to our phones.

Very interesting to see the game industry talk about this phenomenon as 'deprofessionalisation'. Definitely more visible now in the wake of all the layoffs, but really this has been unfolding for 15+ years now as both platformisation and gigification. www.gamedeveloper.com/business/-de...

Dug up by Jonny at GA, this look at the development of Namco's Metro-Cross (1985) is some of the BEST behind-the-scenes I've seen from this era. youtu.be/qoYlzQq9Eoc?... You get pixel art, music, and even showing an incomplete build! This is rare stuff.
