Yuji Horii and Koichi Nakamura wanted an RPG combining Ultima exploration and Wizardry combat. Torishima united the team: Toriyama designed characters, Shōnen Jump followed development, and Sugiyama composed the music. youtu.be/bExRebz0zlY #DragonQuest #JRPG #VideoGameHistory #Famicom

Its common knowledge in midwestern punk scenes. Ive heard mentions of that Replacements adjacent sound since the 90s. Those records were really hard to find around that time.

What you are looking at here is a #homebrew tech demo for #NES / #Famicom By "YunomiFactory" Yes, as in the 8-bit 1983 console. Or so they claim at least, cause cannot wrap my head around how something like this is even remotely possible on NES hardware! #gaming #retrogaming #NESDev #Nintendo

I feel like we don’t talk about millennials in particular, hitting our 40s - in earlier generations many of us would be reaching the peak of our careers, but because of disaster after disaster, locust after locust eating our industries, many of us are on our 3rd or 4th fresh start.

Leiji Matsumoto's Space Battleship Yamato, one of the most influential anime series ever, started 52 years ago today. "In the year 2199, the space battleship Yamato embarks on a voyage to the planet Iscandar, to retrieve a device that will rejuvenate a war-ravaged Earth."

Im on that same train with NES homebrew. Currently feels like standing in the tide. Don't know what the answer is but youre certainly not alone in your feelings.

All retro gaming communities are awash in this bullshit. Im about committed to walking away from the NES homebrew scene for good. The players all hate it but the devs are like "i can fix him". Its all gross and disappointing.

I don't know if there's ever been a culture more in love with charlatans than ours. "Success" defined entirely by how good you are at tricking people into giving you money. An entire country of aspiring slop merchants

Its been awhile since i've seen it, but remember feeling mostly contempt for the creator character. Seems pretty obvious he was trying to satisfy his narcissism by creating the perfect companion. Speilberg's Ai hit my compassion because its seen through our perception of what a child is

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

Phil, a balding caucasian man, points at some CG on a CRT computer monitor, as a younger man looks on. The screen shows a model of a dinosaur attacking a jeep, while there's an actual physical model of that event in the foreground for reference.

Yeah, but it's not human, its literally a murderous widget. Its like kneeling down and looking into a reflecting pool, seeing a human face and the assuming the pool has a soul. HAL is a sequence of circuits designed by humans to accomplish a task. Not a precious life form deserving of empathy

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

I found your guest's empathy for HAL's death to be particularly upsetting to hear in today's political climate. I was pleased how quickly you pointed out how many people HAL had murdered up to that point. Im baffled by Boomer glee around this murderous tech Anyway, great show!

I've been looking to decorate the wooden piano box used in my western band. We built a wooden box to hide the modern plastic piano keyboard. Looks way better on the stage! I can use these stencils to add some horses to the case 🤗 i may duplicate them first so i can preserve the OGS
