We are *so* far away from VR/AR being ready to replace computers and phones, it's not even funny 😂

This is a real brain-twister. You end up with some delightfully *wrong* feeling Tetris-like moves. :)

Here's my next game, ROTETRA, a tetromino stacker where you spin the whole board and juggle multiple pieces at once! It's a little bit cursed, but I've been having fun making it! Play the demo (and wishlist 👉👈): store.steampowered.com/app/4306820/... also, on web: sharkwithlasers.itch.io/rotetra

I like seeing the dev of the SNES core on the Pocket actually telling one of these dudes off. Holy shit.

If it works, that's pretty cool; I didn't think
would ever see this implemented (I also didn't
expect LLMs to exist).
However, this is not something you can PR
here, or anywhere. You sent me a nearly 50k
line diff, unasked for, completely LLM built, and
you somehow expect me to review it. There is
SO MUCH unrelated garbage here. Never
minding all of the docs and Python, you've
somehow touched basically all of the upstream
HDL, which already had MSU1 support, so idk
what in the world you're doing.
This kind of behavior is not acceptable. You are
infringing on the time and brainpower of people
by pushing "your" content that little/no of your
brainpower went into; completely unrequested.
I hope for the sake of all responsible
maintainers that you do not do such a thing
again.
Again, I think it's cool that you and your LLM
supposedly got this to work. It has no place in
my world.

Got my 555 first try today. Even after almost a year of Arise now, I can still feel my brain slowly improving on where to place individual pieces at-speed. Lumines rocks. :)

Played through Lumines Electronic Symphony's "Voyage" mode this morning. What a treat. :) I really hope Enhance takes on a huge multi-artist version of Lumines again someday. This game has *so* much sauce.

I hope they bring this to MH Wilds! Base PS5 could use a little boost in a few areas.

I'm pleased to inform True Gamers the spaghetti game du jour is, in fact, Retroid Pocket 6 compatible (and the Ayn Thor, by extension). No longer must you be confined to your personal computer to cook spaghetti for the masses. Now you can twirl noodles on the go on your favorite Android handheld. 😌🍝

I have so many questions about the "time as your boss" counter www.nytimes.com/2026/09/30/a...

While she is away, a large counter in the beige Xbox building on Microsoft’s campus tallies Sharma’s time as chief executive. Over the atrium where employees take their coffee breaks, a banner exclaims “RETURN OF XBOX.”

Mario Kart Tour wasn't my favourite game, but it did make me wish Nintendo had ditched mobile and given us a live service Mario Kart on Switch / Switch 2 instead. This game ended with 276 characters, 340 karts, 238 gliders and 546 courses. Imagine that in 'proper' Mario Kart.

Was playing Lumines a bit late tonight and ... I don't think I've had a 555 get so down to the wire. Seriously close call! :)

Some old school "charm runs" in Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate at the end of my day. Mining in MH is quite cozy.

Had coffee with friends at the best cafe today. Over a dozen beans to choose from for pour-over, pour-over *flights*, kick-butt mixed/flavored drinks. Ugh. I'm so grateful this place exists.

AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”

APStylebook @APStylebook

Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.

"nathan for you" on the 3DS was originally known as "nathan for G" in japan, because it expanded on the original nathan for, adding new G-rank nathan fielders to hunt

it’s particularly obvious here because of the game’s nature as a remake but this kind of thing is everywhere. the market demands you make something with systems and menus and content for one audience then design a whole separate game to bypass that for another and try to sell it to both
