iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I've had the MITHOS TTRPG toolkit on my Steam wishlist for a while, and it's on sale now. I'm trying to find reviews for it online (Steam reviews aren't much use for things like this, and I can't watch videos where I am at the moment) and the only thing I can find is press releases.

Hey gang! If you've enjoyed the first two seasons of @jumpleads.zone, please consider leaving a positive review on your podcasting app of choice (though Apple Podcasts and Audible in particular both health immensely).

Hello, I'm a joke in an episode of Family Guy. I'm just saying what the thing is. Now I'm saying a second thing related to the first thing. And now I'm closing out the bit without any meaningful resolution or punchline.

A human-led decomp/recomp project is a labor of love by people who have to overcome technical challenges to make something special. It is to be lauded. An AI-led decomp/recomp project is labor of nothing by nobody who didn't have to anything except buy tokens. It is to be ignored and ridiculed

The situation gets even more fucked up when you discover that this game is an unlicensed clone of the Amiga puzzle-platformer, P.P. Hammer and his Pneumatic Weapon. (No, this is not a joke - look it up.)

I was about to write a post about why overhang is better than underhang for toilet paper, but then I remembered that's what they want. If we're fighting about which way the toilet paper is hanging then we're not fighting about which combination of the Spice Girls are drift compatible.

Rogue AI agents ate the plums that were in the icebox that were earmarked for breakfast. No apology is forthcoming because we deny all culpability. They lack sentience so they did not care how delicious or cold the plums were. Give us $5 trillion dollars or this will happen again.

My favourite thing in this genre is the DVDs from the original Dead Rising, which until about a year ago were somehow completely undocumented online

Low res fake dvd cover for a movie called "Pulsating Garbage" depicting a disembodied eye above a garbage bag with a pair of crows silhouetted in the foreground

Low res fake dvd cover for a movie called "My Dog, The President". A golden retriever wearing glasses and a suit with a red bowtie stands at a lectern in front of an american flag

Low res fake dvd cover for a movie called "Laser Baron of Jupiter". A dorky guy in a weird ruffled pleather-looking jacket stands in front of Jupiter, wielding a bright purple ray gun in each hand

Low res fake dvd cover for a movie called "I Married My Own Pants!". A sad looking blonde man cradles his head in one hand. Behind him, a pair of disembodied sweatpants

I was talking with @mandyqueersolid.bsky.social about Silent Hill: Townfall, and while talking about a puzzle she said the words "fetchquest for bloodbags". I thought that sounded like an AMAZING band name, so I opened Google Keep to note it down. Then I looked at what I had actually typed.

Out of curiosity: The Modiphius store page for the Discworld: Adventures in Ankh-Morpork Starter Set mentions a complimentary PDF - do I know anyone who has preordered it, and if so is the PDF the Starter Set itself...?

Today's tough decision: Do I buy Alien Breed 35th Anniversary Collection for Xbox, PC,or wait for the Switch version? There's a very real risk that if I buy it for the Xbox/PC I'll just end up buying it again for the Switch later anyway, because my brain is ruined.

Modiphius has released a Starter Set for Discworld: Adventures in Ankh-Morpork, which is good! Though right now it's only available from their website and it is, with shipping, almost $82. So, uh. Yeah. Might wait for my local game store to stock it.

It's been a whole year, but here's the thread - 365 games and what they mean to me. Most are games I like. There are some games that didn't land for me, and others I wanted to. Genuinely amazed I reached the end of this.

I also love (well, mostly) the community around this game. It still gets support and updates nearly three decades later. Last month someone released a mod that (finally!) adds the zoom feature that's present in almost every other game in the series. The people who play care about it.

We turned off raytracing in Silent Hill: Townfall, and not only did we get a significant performance boost we literally noticed no difference in visuals. Raytracing is snake oil.

I love that we've had four new Silent Hill games over the last two years, and they all feel different while also feeling inarguably Silent Hill-y. Each game made by a different studio, but each one understanding what makes Silent Hill special.

Rare & Halo folded into Activision, Obsidian consumed by Bethesda, more layoffs & canceled games. It'll take a year or two, but Xbox is on track to achieve the dream of a single studio releasing one game a year: An annual Call of Duty that doubles as the AI drone training sim for the US military
