What is the lifespan of software? What if you make software that's silly and full of whimsy? Will people remember it? Anyway, here's a video someone recently posted of “Good Luck, Babe!” by Chappell Roan performed through the composer feature in Mario Paint, a game released on Super Nintendo in 1992

Happy 30th Anniversary to the Nintendo 64 (in North America), which was almost going to be called the "Nintendo Ultra 64" (as teased here in Killer Instinct (arcade), with a 1995 release date).

September 29 1996, The Nintendo 64 debuted in the Americas WITH Super Mario 64 and Pilot Wings 64! The N64 was originally to be called the Ultra 64, then changed. Konami owned the trademark for "Ultra Games", ironically because Nintendo limited 3rd party NES game production years before! 🕹️1/2🕹️

The ongoing framing that actually owning your media is "low-tech" is disingenuous and sad. In a world where the powers that be are trying to destroy media ownership, we should be embracing and supporting it instead of snarking about how it's "outdated"

I also really love this infographic we did. The magazine archive is a collaborative effort. We've scanned thousands of magazines, but we're also relying on years of scanning work by the community and partnerships with the industry. It takes a village!
30% of our magazines were provided by Retromags. 33.4% were scanned by the Video Game History Foundation. Magazine publishers and staff provided another 10.8%. In declining order, other contributor groups are "Various Internet Archive users," CGW Museum, Out-of-Print Archive, and other community groups.

I don't know if this gets talked about too much, but we are starting to get a lot of archive requests that feel like LLM-generated research slop. The second one was a real bummer, I pulled the book and tried to help them, then got a second near-identical email a week later from a different address.

Supposedly, low end AI data centers use about 100,000 households worth of electricity. On the upper end, 2,000,000 households. What I'm saying is "but YOU use electronics!" isn't much of a "gotcha!" when we're each less than 0.00001% of a small AI data center.

It's impossible to really explain HOW far off the rails American media, especially, got in the wake of 9/11. Even innocuous stuff got the S&P "no" bat, out of "fears of upsetting the American public."

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows a brain. The brain is saying "I'm 30 and YOUNG! I only recently fully developed!"
The second panel shows a heart. The heart says "I hear ya! I can keep going for DECADES more!"
The third panel shows a spine's face. It weakly says, "I am old".
We zoom out and the spine is using a walker. It continues, "so very old".

this response is so funny "we have to use ai because our developers are spread so thin it'd be impossible to do it all by hand" okay hear me out maybe instead just don't make 9 pc ports at once??? you could just make one so you're not spread so thin
“One of the reasons I think we are accepting of AI contributions is that our developers are spread thin,” said Jeod in the group’s Discord server. “When Ship of Harkinian began, it was apparently a dream; now, with so many ports and a decade later, devs have come and gone; some don’t have interest in specific games, others have real life to deal with. We always welcome talent, and if you’re willing to learn how things work here, then the door is open.”

I've made so many Sailor Moon wallpapers. SO MANY. But this one ranks in my all-time favourites. I was really cooking with gas, as the kids say. (And yes, there are hundreds more here: sailorsoapbox.com/wallpapers/)
A desktop wallpaper of the 4 Outer Senshi from Sailor Moon. Drawn by Naoko Takeuchi, the four women are wearing haute couture outfits and posing like professional models. I added a vaporwave-inspired aesthetic to the artwork, with a neon pink and purple gradient colour scheme and some bright geometric waves swooping behind and overlapping the characters.

No one is *forcing* anyone to do a shitload of recomps. Recomps are great, but the whole point of them isn't to just have an assembly line to pump out poor quality ones just to have them; it's a way to preserve older games, understand them better, and make them more accessible to new audiences.

panel 1: a weird creep pokes at a laptop and says “Finally, through the aid of machine translation and google, I have removed the taint of woke western localization from this video game!”
panel 2: two anime boys say “Hello” “It is”
panel 3: “You must go there” “yes”
panel 4: “When the executive manager is downed, can you believe it?” “There is!” the weird creep sheds a tear and says “Ah, as the developers intended!”

I still find it incredible that they would have had FAR LESS blowback if they just... paid to license the stuff they're actively stealing right now. Most of us would still tell them to piss off, but we wouldn't be burning this shit to the ground over the theft. Just the pollution and poisoning.
