Forgot to post yesterday’s haul. Haven’t read anything yet, but I’m pretty excited for @christophcondon.bsky.social & @thatjacobphillips.bsky.social That Texas Blood!

I cleared #The_King_of_Dragons on #Default difficulty using just a single credit! Aka a 1 credit clear! Full run in the replies! I estimate that this took about 15 - 20 hours. I did only light save state practice and mainly played runs. #1cc #Arcade

Society as a whole would've been much healthier if racing games had the same level of prominence as in late 2000s, for sure! There're still good games coming out though, like super woden series, or Nightrunners/TXR. Heatwarped demo seems pretty cool, although the music is kinda ass...

The other reason is that a lot of so-called “gamers” hate art and don’t want for video games to be art, so they view video game creators more as toy manufacturers

Alex from LWS Studio @longwintershadows.com · 13/09/2026
I think the main reason why people don’t apply “scene” lens to video games is that there aren’t many mainstream auteur kind of creators in the medium. It’s all just big soulless corps. However, this situation might change in the near future as the industry is imploding

My thoughts exactly! One of the biggest reasons for the hate on wolverine is that it made the contradiction between aesthetics(hardcore,gamer,manly,brutal,etc) and the actual gameplay(pandering, shallow,braindead,etc) inherent to almost all action games just a little too obvious, imo

Pretty excited for this! I’ve been kinda not 100% on board for the bad seeds event initially, but it’s been pretty fun so far, so I might end up collecting all of the tie-ins. Not that I’d miss a Gotham Central anyway

A new version of ChatGPT is about to drop. Academics like @alexhanna.bsky.social and Emily Bender have been pointing out for literal years that these scare tactics about how powerful and scary AI is actually work as marketing. At this point, being this gullible is a choice.

But also, that's not the "crux of the debate". AI is NOT "doing mimicry" nor is it "doing reasoning"

All this sounds promising tbh, but it's also giving me strong PoP the lost crown vibes... Which wasn't a bad game, but it had some glaring issue

Uhh, if I understood correctly, a good example of the former is shrine puzzles in Zelda TOTK (and BOTW, to a bit lesser extent), while a good example of the latter is being fucked in Shiren?

You're a vertical shooter. Translating the entirety of the first Darius collection was a job that took me two days and cost Taito or whoever footed my bill like $500 back in the day. If you wanna save money, just don't hire generalist agencies where like half the fee is pure profit margins lol

Book of Fuligin is a weird sci-fantasy comics anthology in honor of Gene Wolfe that me and a bunch of excellent artists created in 2022-24. I realized that many people who follow me here don't know about it, so it's time to change that.
