Are there attempts to vibe code specifically for the SNES? I haven't seen any myself, but it wouldn't surprise me considering a vocal contingent of retro console-warmongers have existed since the dawn of internet forums, and seem like exactly the kind of people who would do this in a heartbeat.

No - vision is their duty only if we demand it. You are not a political victim, I am not a political victim. There is not going to be a political messiah. There is just us. And governments are the very essence of our collective action, and in Australia, have been since Federation.

I think it's possible the reality of governing involves being forced to pick the least dangerous responsibilities to hand to dangerous people who can't be forced out in the short term

A few years back I concluded anger is a drug. it's a great way to feel invincible for a time, but too much and the low makes you feel empty. Sometimes I look at chronically angry people and wonder if they're in some zone where anger or fury is the only way they have to feel alive.

my current hypothesis is, it's because they're enough of the global population that it's inevitable to have to interact with them at some point

It seems you're saying "inadequate" is no better than "nothing but lip service", which I'm not sure about. But, per my law student friend, the merits of passing something now and improving it later vs. trying to get things right the first time are surprisingly complex so you may have a point.

Rudd's account is that Wong hammered out a deal to pass the CPRS with Turnbull's Coalition, then Abbott knifed him as at the 11th hour, and it didn't pass. It's true that there doesn't appear to be any appetite to deal with the Greens, but I don't think it was good enough of them to just kill it.

hypothetical tech deets: the screen was designed for SNES Mode 2 where the boss is BG 1, using two palettes, and the background is BG 2 using column scrolling to produce a tilting effect. The players and UI elements are all sprites, although this would probably be impractical in an actual SNES game.

so I've been working on a downscaler for playing 3D games that were supposed to be played at a lower resolution, but there's still some very slight imperfections that are bugging me...
A snippet of a scene from Ocarina of Time, rendered at 1440p resolution. The 3D models are pretty distinct from the pre-rendered background that they're rendered on top of.The same snippet but downscaled to match the resolution of the backdrop. The scene looks a bit more coherent. Unfortunately, the downscaling introduced a very slight blur effect to the backdrop as well.

I knew my stash of googly eyes would be of use one day #MakeaTerribleComicDay2025
An analog, three panel comic sequence created using yellow sticky notes. It features a goose/duck like creature that has literal googly eyes. As the sticky notes progress, it looks as though the goose/duck is coming closer to the viewer by having the bird shape itself—as well as the googly eyes—grow larger in scale.

A combination chart with the rows named Gear and Slug while the columns are named Metal and Guilty.
Each square represents what game it's from:
Top Left: Metal Gear - Metal Gear Rex
Bottom Left: Metal Slug - one of the characters peers out of a tank holding binoculars
Top Right: Guilty Gear - one fo the game characters holding onto a sword stuck in the ground
Bottom Right: Guilty Slug - A hand drawn slug saying "oh no!"

everything seems fairly wrong and cruel right now. i don't think either Excessive Hope or Doom are useful. neither are really considerate to the world or the people around you, it's either just ignoring everything or giving up. be real and have each others backs. take care of each other
