My Color Dreams Experience continues with a game that is genuinely legitimately good, and also with a game that is the single worst thing I have ever seen on the NES. In conclusion, Color Dreams is a land of contrasts: Crystal Mines & Robodemons | NES Works 176 youtu.be/Tb9fXrl6LJ4

That… is a lot of Castlevania music. Our poor mail carrier, a tiny older lady, had to ask me to come pick it up from her truck because it was too much for her to manage on her own. It’s a LOT of music
Seriously, a LOT of musicBut packaged well!

I'm on the latest episode of the SickboyPodcast, My P**nis Tried to Kill Me. I talk about how I overcame a terrible condition called Sleep Related Painful Erections, and the power of teddy bears. It gets heavy at times, but we inject some humor too. Give it a listen! www.sickboypodcast.com

I have not managed to get more than 3 hours of sleep any night since returning from Japan. A fitting punishment for committing the greatest crime of all: traveling while middle aged

Found an incredible deal on a designer light fixture for my office at a nearby charity shop, so now the ugly builder-grade fan is gone and only warm, comforting atmosphere remains. I think this space is just about where it needs to be

I have decided how I want to die: standing between these 5’ high, $13,000 speakers, listening to the “Seconds Out” version of “Firth of Fifth,” as the speakers slowly come together to recreate the Star Wars trash compactor scene

A few unsourced websites list TODAY as the Master System's 40th anniversary. Even if that is not correct, I say: Happy anniversary, you weird and wonderful little system. (I still think the gridded box design is pretty striking when you see it all displayed in force.)

For only $12,000, give or take, you too can own an earthquake-proof record player. Yes, the building is collapsing around you, but the cash registers in “Money” have never sounded better
Why pay your mortgage this year when you can own a military-grade turntable instead??

The bad part about flying at 7 a.m. on a Sunday is that I’m flying at 7 a.m. on a Sunday. The good part is that no one else is that depraved, so the airport is empty and I got a free upgrade to first class because all the sensible big-spender travelers are currently at home in bed

Had my say ec.europa.eu/info/law/bet...
Generative AI is a scourge on the world as a whole and the creative sector specifically. It is anti-creativity cynically masquerading as accessibility, rampant theft under the guise of democratising knowledge, erasure of information and a destructive homogenising of the world around us. It can do a small number of very specific things well, a large number of things badly and a lot of things not at all, yet it is being pushed as panacea and god by grifters and liars. The ecological and social impacts are enormous and it is criminally irresponsible to keep forging ahead with this terrible technology. We are in a climate emergency and every new data centre put up for this stuff is a slap in the face of humanity and our shared future. It is not progress, it is regression on a truly ludicrous scale, and every day we don't actively fight it is a day that we could have saved some of our children but instead condemned them to a burning planet where knowledge and creativity are actively set aside in favour of a beige slop and we learn nothing, make nothing, and do nothing. I for one do not wish to live in a world where we sit and stare while machines churn out content for other machines to consume until the burning land and rising sea ends us all, and I will resist every attempt to drag us towards that future in the name of "progress".
