So I'm having a very normal recording day.

A few weeks back some friends and I started working on a "Super Metroid from Memory" project. It's coming along decently well (we're at about 10% right now, roomwise).

A room from Red Brinstar in Super Metroid with an item hidden below the floor, recreated from memory.

It's one of those days where I resent my brain's compulsion to constantly be checking the same 6 websites I always do, rather than being productive or social or active or relaxing or anything else.

Due to some new IRL responsibilities and some planning mishaps, my yearly ZZT game for Oktrollberfest won't be as full-featured as I was planning on it being, but it should still have my trademark Decent Textmode Art.

Peering into my crystal ball, I see a future where Xbox has virtually no market share, no employees, and no productive capacity besides making barebones rereleases of IP they somehow have in their rummage drawer.

Me: "This OoT remake, while a seemingly cromulent physical product, is an affront to the very notion of videogames as art." Also me: "Hmm... if I were to rearrange the map like so, I think I would be able to fit a demake Super Metroid into Metroid 1's engine..."

It says "No Brain Drain" but they're showing a brain being drained of toxic waste. I'm getting mixed messages from this ad for Bible Pogs.

The top half of page 7 of 44 of the document linked in the quoted post.

It's an ad (?) in a Christian gaming magazine with "NO BRAIN DRAIN!" in large text up at the top. The text of the ad is telling you that Bible CAPS (pogs) and video games will help you glorify God. There is an illustration of two people in hazmat suits siphoning something from a brain into a barrel labelled "Mental Toxic Waste!" These product were available from you local Christian Bookstore or the Christian Comics Catalog.

For all these companies hyping their 'agentic AI', it's telling that none of them have demonstrate use cases like "Cancel predatory gym membership" or "Opt out of arbitration clause" or "Cancel streaming subscriptions when they're not used". This is because their interests are aligned with capital.

Hey y'all. I just got off the phone with my uncle who works at Zelda. He's telling me that the new remake is gonna have DLC that will let you play as the Bombchu Bowling Alley Operator. It will cost $200. Pass it on.
