this analysis of Big Walk, through the lens of "men don't talk to each other anymore" and the cultural norms that have led us to where we are with that, is so lovely and i think will resonate with a lot of you

Today we have something special: a newly translated interview from July 1996 between Shigeru Miyamoto and Kenji Eno! Conducted just weeks after the launch of Mario 64, Eno takes Miyamoto to task (in a friendly way) with several fascinating critiques of its design. shmuplations.com/miyamotoxeno/

Og det sammenfaller jo greit med ryktene så langt om PS6. Kanskje de gambler på at merkevare og enkelheten (plug-n-play) kan kjøre lasset. Men PC-som-spillplattform blir mer og mer brukervennlig for hver dag som går nå.

Null fysiske PlayStation-spill fra 2028, ja. Sony visker dermed i stor grad ut skillet mellom konsoller og PC-er. Spent på hva planen deres er - utover eksklusive spill - for å vinne konkurransen. Tredjepartsspill er stort sett betydelig billigere på PC per dags dato (her i Norge i hvert fall).

Når folk først skal gjøre den litt sketchye øvelsen med å regne på hvor mye personer/grupper koster staten er det helt utrolig at det verken nyanseres eller medregnes sannsynlige følger/alternativkostnad. Det er lite konstruktivt å tegne opp slike budsjetter isolert fra helheten og langtidseffekten.

DAWN CHORUS -- demo out now! an interactive fiction story about two losers trying to make music and stay friends as the world is ending around them. after years of secrecy/procrastination i am proud to reveal the demo for my esoteric pre-apocalypse story :) PLAY → haraiva.itch.io/dawn-chorus-...
DAWN CHORUS key art: two characters facing away from each other. the title is overlaid on top of them.a central column with text in it. on each sides, placed diagonally from each other, lines of dialogue. there's a portrait of one of the characters on top of a background that shows a view of skyscrapers from street level.a screen that has a lot of minimalistic browser-like interface windows open in a lot of different colours and writing styles.a screen that looks like a screenplay with multiple dialogue choices. there's an image of the setting the scene is in, a river under two merging overpasses

Det er vel nettopp fordi at SNES-emulering har blitt perfeksjonert (RIP Near) at Super ZSNES prøver noe annerledes. Synes noe av funksjonaliteten de viser er interessant og kan føre til noe spennende, selv om jeg er enig i at måten det vises frem på ikke er optimal, spesielt tekstur/normal map.

Jeg skjønner poenget, men jeg stusser over valg av indikator. Headboard virker veldig situasjonasavhengig basert på soverom, og sier lite om huskomfort ellers. Stiller litt i samme kategori som tørketrommel. (f.o.s.: Har headboard nå og sikkert også etter kjøp av ny seng snart. Men ikke viktig.)

Audun Rodem @arodem.bsky.social · 20/04/2026
Litt på siden av hovedpoenget (idiot-grunder-hustle-tull er min mening, om noen lurer) men, har stusset litt på hvordan headboard ble livsviktig. Det ser fint ut, og har en viss nytte, men jeg ville trodd at det havnet temmelig langt nede på listen av indikatorer for et velstelt, komfortabelt hjem.

Ja, enig i det. Kanskje det er slik at nyere serieskapere er vokst opp med - og i stor grad ønsker at det de skaper skal være - prestisje à la den gyldne HBO-tiden, eller at det er gjort av investor/markedsføringshensyn for å ta en posisjon i et tricky marked.

Audun Rodem @arodem.bsky.social · 11/04/2026
Ikke sikker på om jeg er enig. Det var mange av den typen serier på den tiden. Kan det være at det ble laget flere serier totalt som vi har glemt, og at det var mer varierte muligheter til distribusjon/finansiering den gang, slik at det var flere lyspunkter når vi så på totalbildet? Vet ikke selv.
