Toad sipped his tea. “Frog,” he asked, “are you making this up?” “Maybe yes and maybe no,” said Frog.

Toad leans forward in his chair, sipping tea, transfixed by Frog's ghost story.

Guy literally got run out of his own chair & space station by a little Invader who knew the pattern needed to beat him. He's not all that🤔😉

What's hard about public policy is weighing the trade offs. For example, something sucks really bad and everyone hates it, but on the other hand several evil trillionaires think it's good. What are you supposed to do in that situation

one aspect regarding retro gaming scenes that genAI has been blazingly efficient at is in trust erosion whether it’s fan TLs, FPGA cores, or recomp scenes, within the past year so much optimism and excitement regarding new projects has been swiftly replaced with doubt and suspicion thank you genAI

12 years ago, in the run-up to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, people were wondering if mobile games were going to kill traditional console ones. But with hindsight, clearly Sony and Microsoft were capable of killing their own platforms, their own legacies without help from anybody else all along.

Perhaps the biggest tragedy with the current state of both PlayStation and Xbox on a cultural level once you get past the bloodbaths—and you shouldn't, to be clear—is just the sheer disinterest they share in maintaining any sense of a cohesive, healthy ecosystem, both internally and externally.

In Mario Kart Wii, asphalt is slightly shiny, reflecting a band of light ahead of the player. This is implemented cleverly by leveraging something that the Wii is already doing, allowing it to not need to use any sort of additional lighting or post-processing.

It's been the case for a long time the Japanese side has stopped calling most shots on PlayStation's management, but you can extra tell the western side is in charge because no sensible businessman here would spurn one of their most enduring partnerships, let alone give Xbox a PR win *now*.

Games are engines that run assets; the further you get from this simple truth, the more complex your tech gets. Trying to do code when you could just make assets to do the same thing just makes for more complicated, and less flexible, code.

Insincerity in writing is just boring and the lowest effort you can put in to make something look polished. There's no discernible voice because all it takes to write such material is surface level research and basic technical competency every working writer has. The bar is beneath the damn ground.

To this point, I will also reiterate that PS3 and PS Vita digital download preservation remains incomplete, particularly for Japanese games and DLC, where I imagine the bulk of that work has taken place abroad. This essentially gives a one-year deadline to plug some sizeable, yet quite tricky holes.

Sony operates thier own disc-pressing factories in Japan (Sony Music Solutions) and Austria (Sony DADC). Sony also operates their own vinyl factory in Japan. For a company that can just press their own discs, and then bring back a format like vinyl, this is just sad and kind of frustrating.

Musk’s trillionaire status undermines one of the central myths held dear by post-Cold War liberals: that modern capitalism reinforces the liberal order. Instead, the richest man in history spends his days talking about demographic decline, racial grievances and civilisational collapse.

The mistake is to treat Musk as a corruption of capitalism rather than its product. Vast concentrations of private power do not create liberals. Why would they? They create people with unlimited confidence in their own judgement, and freedom from democratic constraint. They create oligarchs. That is why Musk is not the exception. He is the proof. The real shock is not that Elon Musk thinks this way. It is that so many people assumed he never would.
