Reposted by tainlibby watson @libbycwatson.com · 19hi don't imagine there are news outlets that would be interested since it only affects twitch streamers and we are lower than dirt, but the new AI "content warnings" that twitch has introduced for sponsored streams are crazy. it monitors what you're saying and pings you if you say a word like "beer" 833134

Reposted by tainMisty De Méo @cdrom.ca · 30/09/2026Whenever I write about old software, it still strikes me how absurd it is that it’s easier to run software from the 90s and 2000s on a modern computer than it is to run an iOS app from 15 years ago. 714118

tain @kntain.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Hope you're right. I figured 3D/G would be on the table given PS1-based hardware has been done in ACA1 + I assume they're looking for reasons to move away from it but I'd be happy to be wrong 110

tain @kntain.bsky.social · 17/09/2026played like 7.5 hours of guwange today and didn't re-secure the clear. couldn't walk away, game too good did make it to the final boss a couple times 160
tain @kntain.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I've been bracing for the price when they said it "won't cost more than Index" pre-rampocalypse. I'm excited to mess with this thing. They should send me a dev kit so I can make Horizon Vanguard extra nice and certification-worthy for standalone play on it :] 110
