As the Nintendo 64 celebrates its 30th anniversary I'm reminded of the surprising fact that Animal Crrosing (or rather, Dōbutsu no Mori) got its start on the system before later being remade and released worldwide on GameCube.

33 years ago today, the Stranger stepped onto the dock of Myst Island for the first time. We can still hear the water splashing against the pilings.

The dock of Myst Island from the original version of the game. A wooden dock ends at a spiral staircase that leads up to giant gears on a hillside. A ship is sunk in the water on the right, and parts of buildings are visible on the left.

Wish #Xbox would do other things to make money instead of cutting people's jobs. Why not sell off IP rights to games/characters you aren't using? Imagine a new Banjo-Kazooie or Conker from @fabraz.bsky.social? A new Perfect Dark from @replicantd6.bsky.social? Battletoads from @tributegames.com?

My technological privacy journey started almost one year ago. I can say with confidence: Waterfox is one of the best applications I've switched to. This essay further reenforced that feeling. I don't want the work you do to be thankless, friend. You make the web a better place. Thank you, Alex!

I know this'll ruffle feathers but I agree with this Food/Water watch analysis. Diverting renewable energy away from fossil phase-out and climate adaptation and towards melting graphics card to power chatbots is the formal end of moral purpose for clean technology.

Data Centers With Renewables Aren’t the Answer
So all these power plants and “temporary” turbines are raising power prices and polluting our communities. Why don’t we just power data centers with renewables?

Many data center companies are pledging to (eventually) do just that. But even if these pledges weren’t just empty greenwashing promises, powering data centers with clean energy is utterly unrealistic. It also threatens the progress of our already dangerously slow energy transition.

Continuously powering a 1 GW data center would require nearly 20,000 acres of solar panels or 185,000 acres of onshore wind power. We cannot afford to waste the time, space, or money to build renewables for Big Tech’s profit machines.

Already, data center growth is outstripping available renewable energy supply and redirecting renewables from other industries. It’s drawing urgently needed renewables from existing technologies and resources. We need to focus our renewable energy resources toward thos

Happy birthday to Star Trek, the franchise that has inspired me since childhood. My mother raised me on Next Gen, but I decided to experiment in college and discovered a passionate love for any and all Trek. Now, as my wife will attest, I have too many Trek blu-rays, comics, and PBs! ❤️🏳️‍🌈📖 #StarTrek60

After watching all the stuff coming out of Gamescom, the majority of which seems to be Unreal Engine games with that same Unreal Engine realistic lighting/rendering approach, I realize I've really slid entirely over to "I'd rather play random 6 dollar illustrative indie games on Steam".

The Empire State Building went pink at exactly 9:25pm for Dolly Parton. Because of course they made it 9 to 5. That’s how you honor an icon. 🩷

My local pinball spot put out their Dolly Parton machine. Needs work and otherwise wouldn't be in shape to be on location, but was set to free play and everyone got a chance to play tonight.

I mean, those numbers feel a little hinky. What was a theater ticket in '97/'98? Like, objectively on paper, MK64 outgrossed those films but WAY more people paid for a movie ticket than bought an N64 cart. Still a fascinating stat, though!

You ever see the price tag on a retro game and say, "Damn, that's expensive." And then you play it and go, "Ok, THAT'S why. This rules." Paper Mario for the Nintendo 64.

Last night was baseball's "field of dreams" game, an homage to a movie revolving around men banned for life from baseball for match-fixing on behalf of gambling syndicates, brought to you by *checks notes* the gambling company Fanduel. Why DO people think Americans don't understand irony? :)

i really like the movie Field of Dreams. it’s a kind of beautiful portrait of midwestern life that captures the spirit of baseball pretty well. great James Horner score too. seeing FanDuel ads in front of the cornfield makes me want to die

Anyone upset over Google killing Assistant should consider moving from stock Android to @grapheneos.org. Alphabet wants Gemini to have access to EVERYTHING on your phone, even if you don't use it. Graphine shuts that down at the source by removing any AI assistants from the OS.

Upset over the news of cuts at Obsidian, id Software, and Bethesda? Want to make sure Sharma and the rest of Microsoft know how you feel? STOP USING WINDOWS. If you haven't transitioned to Linux yet, now is the time. The more we move the needle in the Steam hardware survey, the better. 👍

Anti-porn, anti-sex worker, and anti-sex censorship directly corresponds to a tilt downward into a more ideologically conservative and oppressive society. Regardless of your personal comfort with nsfw content on the internet, it's absolutely critical to support it right now.

This lines up with a lot of my thoughts on it. I also think the speed with which Roblox developers jack concepts from each other to further optimize their games for monetization is fascinating and shouldn't be in something that gets pushed to kids. It's like the worst version of best practices.
