Alternately, you are old enough to have started decades ago when things were cheap. But you still aren't allowed to have good taste in decor

Proud to note my son and I had our first cooperative game clear last night when we finished TMNT Hyperstone Heist together before his bedtime. I had Leonardo and he had Raphael until partway through, when he asked to swap. Still managed to finish it without running out of lives and continues!

I remain pretty bummed out by the state of decompilations, ports, FPGA cores etc these days. The rise of GenAI has really flooded the whole scene with garbage and kinda poisoned the whole concept. Good piece from @pandamonium.bsky.social on it www.segasaturnshiro.com/2026/09/24/c...

As for Galaxy Game, it's on display at the ICM in Seattle, and is being restored up there: icm.museum/blog/?p=698

Learning that Galaxy Game is getting restored gave me cause to recall witnessing the Spacewar reunion that took place back in 2018. To date this is still the only public recording of the event I'm aware of, even though the Smithsonian video recorded it: www.atariarchive.org/the-spacewar...

I need the weather to cool off enough that I can justify making a batch of chili with the peppers we grew this year (and of which a lot of them have become quite ripe).

Every time i see something in numpad it takes me a good 3 seconds to translate what the heck that means in normal motions. But the fact that a lot of the modern FGC picked up the genre via emulation (eg keyboards) and anime games (which always used numpad) I've just accepted I'm a dinosaur

This has been the case literally every single time I've needed to look at a scientific journal article. At least, for any that isn't like 40 years old and the author is retired or deceased.

I get really annoyed seeing so many people say "Since everyone uses AI to write papers..." or "Referee reports now are just written by AI..." Look: Everything I have written has, for better or worse, been my own writing. Don't project your cynical expectations on my work. Seriously, screw gen-AI.

I'm just saying that if you're calling for newcomers my preference is that they're fully original, new characters. I have no opinion about Ed or Zeku in SFV

It's an existing character, if we're getting a newcomer I'd rather it be an actual newcomer

The fact that every major news outlet includes vocal tics and hesitations when it’s a woman saying “like” and not when it’s a man saying “um” is itself wicked telling.
