NEW VIDEO: One of the designers of A Force More Powerful: The Game of Nonviolent Strategy reached out to me and we had a lovely discussion about how the game came to be, what nonviolent protest means, and whether any movements actually used the game as training. Please enjoy.

Touch grass or touchpads? The 2015 Steam Controller was maybe the most lovingly crafted hardware failure in video game history. But was it really a failure? Its insane history says otherwise. New episode of Punching Weight! Watch with your pets! RT's appreciated! 💀 youtu.be/xkMuoA88n4M 💀

I think it’s fun that all of the core id guys are now normal charming dorky dad types (Romero, Hall, Adrian Carmack) or ontologically evil freaks (John Carmack, Sandy) with American McGee, an ardent libertarian that now lives on a boat and makes plushies, somehow straddling the line.

Mamdani is 100% right here, despite some people reading into this things that are not said here. Antisemitism is a scourge upon the world. Doesn't need any qualification or quantification or caveats or what-abouts. Any antisemitism is too much antisemitism.

Before Portal, there was, well, Portal. Activision's 1986 'computer novel' is one of the examples of the kind of entertainment software being developed for the Commodore Amiga in its first year. High concept, artsy, and tapping into the creativity-focused marketing for the computer.

A scan of the box from Mobygames, with an almost completely glossy black cover and the worlds PORTAL and the computer novel tagline at the top. Ghost-like faces can be seen at the bottom of the cover. In the upper centre: an evocative premise.

Homer, A Biological Computer. The Final Link to the Past and the Only Conduit to the Future. But Homer is dying and access grows weaker moment by moment. Will you discover where everyone has gone or will to the doorway to humanity close forever, leaving you totally alone?

Now onto the big boys! First, what I assume to be a 286 IBM clone of some kind. It even has the big thocky power switch. No other identifiable markings on the outside.

A really old big computer, with both kinds of floppy drive.

Next, a decent looking Dell Inspiron 1150 with an Intel Celeron. Charger included, and a bizarre Compaq Presario that I think is kinda ripping off the iBook G3? The blue parts are sticky old melty rubber.
