SEGA SATURN, SHIRO! @segasaturnshiro.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
Is there any harm in using AI to work on — or entirely create — projects for the Sega Saturn and elsewhere in the retro gaming scene? Yes, PandaMonium says in this opinion column, equating such work to digital asbestos: www.segasaturnshiro.com/2026/09/24/c... #sega #saturn #segasaturn #retrogaming

Column: All A.I. Projects Are Digital Asbestos
The views expressed in this article do not necessarily represent the views of all SHIRO! Media Group contributors. The cost of modern day video game consoles and personal computers have skyrocketed…

Same. The point of porting Doom to weird hardware is rarely “hey, this a new option to play Doom!” but more as a technical flex and demonstration of mastery of that hardware. When an AI does it, it’s a reflection of neither of those two.

I adore old computer books where the author insists on adding illustrations + cartoons everywhere. E.g., in "Starting FORTH", you get to meet this cute two-headed dragon that swaps the top two items on the stack!

Project Zomboid players are dismayed because the exploit for 'battle milk' just got patched out. You mix 51% water with whiskey and milk. The whiskey combats the stress debuff, milk provides raw calories/weight maintenance and the water quotient is just enough to trigger the auto drink mechanic.

Yesterday I was reading a book from the 1920s, and a character mentioned something called "shirred eggs." Never heard of it, so I looked it up, and ended up cooking some that night. They really should be more popular. It's like getting a savory eggy custard thing quickly for zero effort.
