I'm joining the war on slop with cheap, fast flyer commissions. If you know someone who is asking the computer for event posters, tell them to ask me instead. Get the guarantee!

A poster mocked up as if it was offset printed in black and red roughly 60 years ago. The header reads "AVAILABLE NOW! FLYERS DESIGNED BY A HUMAN BEING!" and the subsequent text is pitching $50 flyer designs with a "SLOP-FREE GUARANTEE," incorporating some vintage Henry Volk clipart of people looking at a poster and saying how well it reflects on the event organizer.

Clicking Google's fun whimsical throwback logo today sends you to an AI chat pre-filled with a goofy prompt and immediately hits you with a warning that it is potentially dangerous to continue. You couldn't make a better commentary on how badly they have fucked up the internet if you tried.

TLDR * "AI will kill us all" messaging in the press will last *exactly* as long as it benefits the tech companies, then stop * You will *not* be killed by a skynet super-AI * You are somewhat likely to be killed by AI-related global warming * You are very, very likely to be killed by an AI taxi

About to start working on a new book, but I still think this one panel from Fake Blood might be the best thing I've ever drawn in my life. For the uninitiated: Fake Blood is about a kid who pretends to be a vampire to impress his vampire-obsessed crush, which goes about as well as you'd expect.

Two comic book panels with a girl in plaid and a red hat with ear flaps on the left, and a boy with purple hair on the right. They sit at a lunch table and the girl says, "Dude, you went all out. It's a big improvement." Indicating the boy's new outfit. The second panel the boy shouts, "THANKS!" As he shows off his fake plastic fangs. The word thanks looks like spit flying from his mouth.

Random things I remember from 9/11: -Rumsfeld's Unknown Unknowns -first every car had a flag on it, then it became an asshole signifier -Hans Blix. Just his name -instant hero for Giuliani for as far as I could tell, being there -really cheap fares on 9/11 for a few years -Get Your War On

Oh my god, there really is no such thing as meeting a game publisher's expectations.

Clip from article: "One major factor behind the decision was the commercial performance of Kojima’s previous two games, Death Stranding and its sequel, which didn’t meet PlayStation’s revenue expectations"

Another article, headline: Death Stranding has sold 5 million copies on PS4 and PC

Technology is becoming infantilization — push the button when you want, never develop the capacity to create, ask the machine to answer for you and think for you and live for you. Always be dependent on the corporate body. Subscription-enabled wire mother.

The return to physical media is a radical act. A book in your hand or a record on the turntable belong to a world beyond subscriptions, licenses, and corporate permission, and they can be lent, inherited, annotated, repaired, and loved. They remain when the platform fails and the servers die.

Making some progress in my modding backlog, here's Voultar's SNES Edge Enhancer installed in my Super Famicom RGB-01. SNES video tends to horizontally smear sharp transitions, now it's indistinguishable from MiSTer! The thorough guide made this complex install a breeze!

My Super Famicom on the operating table.

The underside of the SFC motherboard with a large black PCB placed on top of the bottom right quadrant, layered with a smaller red PCB. The black PCB is specific for my hardware variant, providing connections to RGB, amplification, and filtering. The red one replaces some of the video processing chain: several components are removed allowing this to it in the middle. It's connected to a third PCB at the video connector via a long FFC ribbon. Three short jumper wires re-inject the cleaned RGB back into the SFC's composite mixer.

Before photo of Yoshi's Island on a CRT. The trees exhibit horizontal smearing and ghosting around the black outlines and the white highlights.

After photo of roughly the same area, now with very sharp outlines. Super minor ringing visible around the tree highlights is just my consumer CRT doing image sharpening.

This sat on my shelf for like a year 😔 but fixed the power supply on this Lynx 2, then did a LCD screen replacement. The Lynx screen is miserable—it was the first colour backlit screen on a game console in 1989, so no shade—but the difference is incredible. The kit even has HDMI out 😳

An Atari Lynx 2, a wide-ass portable game console with the unique feature that it's flippable and ambidextrous (OK maybe the wonderswan did this too). Playing Rampage off of DC power, you can see the screen is really washed out. It's actually got a CFL tube backlight in there.

The same Lynx now with a modern LCD screen upgrade. The colours are vivid and bright. Showing the Gates of Zendocon title screen.

New batches of Floopy Drives are hitting the store in small waves as I build them. Available now. US buyers may want to defer as it's probably the worst time in history to import from Canada due to US imperialism/demented king. The option remains open, though, I dropped the price to try and help.
