Oh great, NOW there's this dumb Microsoft patent to add in-game advertisements AND commercials?

Buster Bunny, right after an important 'News Flash' interrupts him while playing the game 'Carrot Crunchers' on his television. From the season one episode of Tiny Toon Adventures (1990) called 'Cinemaniacs', during the 'SuperBabs' segment. "It must really be important to cut in on a video game."

I've seen people say that Gen AI is a tool. NO. Things like Photoshop, Blender, etc etc are tools used by artists. With Gen AI, the AI is the "artist". You're just the plebe commissioning the piece. I can't imagine anyone being proud of something they came up with using Gen AI.

Hybrid (1997, PS1) Despite being a big 90's FPS enjoyer, I don't think I'd heard of Hybrid before @lowpolyhighres.bsky.social sent me these shots. Feel like I gotta check it out now because it looks cool as hell. I linked his full thread here so you can take a look!

MusicNet (1995) was an early online music store that came on a CD with music samples. You could preview tracks, add items to your shopping list, and then call a toll-free number to order the CDs.

under communism, you wont own anything, it will all be subject to the whims of the State, who can just take it away whenever they want! that is unlike Capitalism, where you still wont own anything, cant afford anything, and whatever you do buy can be taken away by the whims of a CEO.

found this downloadable file from around the year 2000. anyone own a macintosh, wanna try this out? web.archive.org/web/20000818...

greta snider's punk rock dating game
this is a program written in director for the macintosh, which means it's quite large, some 8.8 megabytes to download. it's definitely worth it though, especially if you live in san francisco. it's almost too revealing... it's really great, and i hate computer games of all sorts. i've even left it running just to hear the music in the main page.
download here: punkdate.sit (8.8 mb). unstuffing it will create a directory containing the necessary two files. double-click "punkdate3-6-97" to run!

If I was making a slideshow spanning decades, it's easy to find backgrounds and patterns with 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s aesthetics. What would I even do for the first decade of the 2000s, the 2010s, and the 2020s, though?
