had to make a video for this one because it's pretty wild visually. love that you can zoom in and out so far with these vector graphics, neat stuff! (music is unrelated because i couldn't get the in-game music working right and it was pain inducing lol)

It appears that despite telling it not to go in my room which has a mess of cables, Shodan (my Roomba) has tried to kill my 3DS

Guys, if you aren't already supporting the Internet Archive, please consider doing so. They are way more than just the Wayback Machine. They have a massive library of texts, audio, films, video games, and more media available. I'm downloading the 1933 OED right now as pdfs. It's insane.

The frustrating thing about the industry I work in is that I currently make *almost* enough money And by that I mean it's like, not a lot, but I can stretch a budget pretty well all things considered. But like, almost isn't necessarily *enough*, I'm still at a deficit here -_-

Mike Morhaime - and at least a few of the execs and directors, and even some ICs on the dev teams - would occasionally do "QA for a Day" and "CS for a Day", supposedly to improve understanding of (empathy for) support teams. Never saw a news article about it BECAUSE IT WASN'T A PUBLICITY STUNT.

Volunteer moderators are a big part of why some corners of the internet still feel human, writes Sarah Gilbert of Cornell's Citizens and Technology Lab. Without them, she argues, we face intertwined crises of knowledge and community.

Ever get one of those pre-paid debit cards that has an odd amount of money on it and you're not sure how to use it? GOG allows you to replenish funds in your wallet in exact amounts. So I just used some class action settlement payout to add $24.52 to my account.

I think the new OoT looks cool, the changes look like they make for a good excuse to replay it. The only thing I don't think I'm going to like is the voice acting, but I'm gonna assume I can just do what I did in the new DK game and just set the voice to a different language lol

While I am biased for it already being one of my favorite games, I gotta say, "Half Life"? One of the best titles for a game ever. Cool-ass science word in a cool-ass game where you play as a scientist. Same with the expansions - "Blue Shift", "Opposing Force", "Decay"

See I understand the sentiment, but the argument breaks down because this describes what consuming something is. Like what is to eat other than to experience food, engage with it, or live with it? Maybe we do consume art, but we should pay attention to the gravity of "consumption"

After seeing genAI game trailers appear even before Gamescom, I reached out to a few trailer editors to see how they feel about its use. Derek Lieu gave me this winner of a quote, among many others in the article.

A quote from the article, said by Derek Lieu. "Even without considering the negative ethical, ecological, or legal implications of using genAI (of which there are MANY), I think it's utterly ridiculous to even consider using it in creative works because even a little bit will make people question everything else in the game or trailer. You can’t put a tiny little bit of poop in a dinner and expect people to eat it."
