Sixty years ago today, Ralph Baer wrote his initial proposal for a game device that would plug into a standard television set. While his initial ideas are not what became the Odyssey, this moment was highly consequential for the future of video games. 🧵

The first four pages of Ralph Baer's "Disclosure Backup Data -TVGD" dated September 1, 1966. This became the basis for the technology that powered the first video game console, the Odyssey.

The Trump administration has filed 36 emergency applications since last February, which have generated 31 conclusive rulings. In those 31 rulings, the Court has voted *for* Trump in whole or in part 27 times (87.1%), and against him four times (12.9%). Here's a chart covering all of these rulings:

We’re not going to be able to “just go back to normal” in 2029. At this point, abolishing ICE, followed by free, fair trials for treason for ICE agents & their collaborators is the bare minimum. We must do whatever it takes to make sure nothing like ICE can ever exist again.

Video appears to show no damage to the vehicle of the man ICE killed in Houston, who had lived in America peacefully for 35 years, despite ICE's claim that he "rammed" an ICE vehicle and "tried to run over" an agent. These people are not credible.

As the director of a historical video game preservation institution, and someone who has dedicated his entire adult life to this cause, this is accurate. We have attempted to work with the industry's trade organization to find a legal path forward, but they refuse to offer a meaningful alternative.

there isn't a problem with the game's industry. there's a problem with every industry and every publicly traded company. getting a "nice CEO who cares" or whatever won't fix anything until things are addressed at a more fundamental societal level. the system will always drive towards this behavior.

I don't think people realized the extent to which the current push for age-verification everywhere has been powered by the for-profit age-verification industry. At every legislative hearing. Partnerships with censors. Wild, unsubstantiated claims of efficacy and ease. All to create a market.

A core part of the Supreme Court’s stated rationale for gutting the Voting Rights Act is that racism isn’t a problem anymore, so former Confederate states would never disenfranchise Black voters the way those states are doing right now.

This is the take I keep coming back to. NVIDIA is going to vomit on itself to impress shareholders and that's fine, that's what corporations do, but I'm hurt by how much Digital Foundry has lost my trust over this. It feels like the worst parts of "access journalism," it's PR disguised as reporting.
