The prototype "Project Dream" developed by Rare and recently dumped, contains data from the baseball game Ken Griffey Jr.'s Winning Run. Namely the tilemaps and tilesets for messages like "Strike", "Ball" etc. (address 0x10000).

Maybe the trailer is not representative of the final work and was only put together to garner wish lists, there's no reason not to use a proportional font or at least 8x16 nowadays.

Based on that trailer, it is definitely the 1995 translation.

Not all marketing words are buzzwords. These are useful qualifiers. If a game dev says to me "I'm making a fighting game", it narrows it down well (Street Fighter, Final Fight, Smash Bros...). If they say "I'm making a cozy game", I have no idea what it means and no relevant follow up questions.

"cozy game" is not a video game genre, it's a marketing buzzword. Don't change my mind.

Sharing this video by Not Malcom because I care about other creators. If you accept game keys, sponsorships, payments, etc. to play / talk about a product you need to make that relationship clear to your audience. Failing to do so could result in legal consequences. www.youtube.com/watch?v=l84V...

The only good thing about their business is that they don't ship outside the UK. Their shitty designs are contained to the British Isles.

The website on the label of their tee is player-clothing.com, which is a Japanese tee printer. So they either got their own website wrong or they're just dropshipping tee from that Japanese company. Either way, not a good look. Once you've seen all that, their "about us" page is quite funny.

The Bowser tee has the dumbest mistake: Bowser's name is written as 給水タンク which means "water supply tank". It should be クッパ (kuppa) or バウザー (bauzā).

The Yoshi tee is meant to read "Since 1990" but reads "It's 1990" (です 1990). The most iconic food Yoshi eats is called ヨッシーフルーツ (Yoshi Fruit, from SMW) but they chose to name grapes (葡萄) and honeydew (甘露)?! I don't know if it's meant to be a goomba but the rightmost fruit looks like a buttplug.

The Princess Peach tee has the wrong name: they wrote 王女桃, princess peach (the fruit) instead of ピーチ姫 (Pīchi-hime), her name in Japanese.

The people who run the AI slop news site retroshell, also sell gaming T-shirts on playerclothing.com. They claim that "each tee is the result of almost 10 years of development." Here's their mission statement. Let's take a look at the tees.

Player Clothing strives to produce the finest clothes made by passionate gamers to the absolute highest quality. We are not just another printed T-Shirt company, who put our designs on generic blanks. We have taken years to develop the finest quality garments that will age as well as some of the retro classics that inspired our designs and fuel our passion.

Co-founder of Graveyard Keeper dev Lazy Bear Games regularly posts AI art & asks for help with AI gen code Going as far as feeding his own games art into the slop machine The game itself is from 2018 so it predates the stuff, but they announced a sequel & I expect it to be full of AI-gen slop

Twitter post of Slava Cherk happily posting his own games art that's been put through an AI image generator to make it simpsons themed while another user named Javi Lopez is praising him for doing so while calling for people to embrace Gen AI

Wikipedia articles about matcha tea in EN and FR. One focuses more on Japan and the other on China. It goes to show that multiple sources are always better than one and learning multiple languages offers invaluable advantages. This is not about green tea.

While I agree with the sentiment, how is it a "random bush"? It's the only bush on the entire map that's clearly blocking a path. A very suspicious looking bush if you ask me. I think it's very good and very intentional level design, that's the opposite of random.

I can't wait for your take on Super Bomberman 5! It was my favorite of the SNES bomberman games. When I was a student, 20 years ago, I even made a PC clone of it with characters from other games, a la Super Smash Bros. The game is lost but the site seems up at superbomberman5.free.fr

Looking up Mega Drive games, I just stumbled onto a content farm channel called Retro Pocket. The thumbnails, the scripts, the audio, the descriptions, all of it is AI generated. 1000 videos in exactly 2 years. The few non-bot comments are eating this like it's their last meal. We're so cooked.

YouTube channel BrewSolves is still doing the James Somerton method of turning old books into videos. On top of barely paraphrasing the book and the FBI report, I noted 3 errors in 3 min. Also, on-screen quotes and b-roll footage add no value to the story. Just read Wikipedia or the fucking book.

Live your life without an audience.

"I was born in 1990 and I was sort of raised in America when it was a cult of self-expression, and I was just taught, you know: express myself and have things to say and everyone will care about them. And I think everyone was taught that, and most of us found out that no one gives a shit what we think...They say it’s the ‘me’ generation. It’s not. The arrogance is taught or it was cultivated. It’s self-conscious. That’s what it is, it’s conscious of self. Social media is just the market’s answer to a generation that demanded to perform, so the market said “Here, perform everything, to each other, all the time for no other reason.” It’s prison, it’s horrific. It’s performer and audience melded together. What do we want more than to lie in bed at the end of the day and just watch our lives as a satisfied audience member? I know very little about anything, but I do know this: that if you can live your life without an audience, you should do it." - Bo Burnham
