Sokoban is a game series and a genre, one developed by Thinking Rabbit in the early 80s that later spread to other studios and other countries besides Japan. One such international release in the influential series is Boxyboy on the Turbografx-16. It's classic Sokoban gameplay, only more of it.

Retro spotlight: Boxyboy, aka Sokoban World
One of the earliest console releases in the hugely important and influential Sokoban series, as well as one of the first released in North America.

Estoy del criterio de rentabilidad hasta el papo. Un museo no tiene que ser rentable. La sanidad y la educación no tienen que ser rentables. Los servicios sociales, en los cuales yo trabajo, no tienen que ser rentables. El beneficio es otro, putos CEOS turbocapitamierders. Y en vosotros no cuajó.

Level 2: Press on despite distractions! (Author typing as the desk/clod moves past a ghost and a spider) ) Result: success!

Level 3: Deliver manuscript to editor! (Author jumping over fire pit onto platform where editor waits) Result: success!

Level 4: Accept minor criticism! (Author lying ded in fronto of editors desk) Result: better luck next time!

Jennifer Hale once told me Canadians need to champion ourselves more. I wholeheartedly agree. Over the past few months, I reached out to dozens of Canadian devs to learn their favourite Canadian games. Their varied responses offer a wonderful spotlight on some of the incredible talent we have here.🍁

These are must-play Canadian games, according to Canadian devs
As Canadians, we don't champion ourselves enough, so we asked dozens of game developers to do just that.

This. I'm quite obsessed with the effect of double transliterations, where we end up calling Japanese works with an English title by the literal reading of the katakana they use to write it.

33 years ago today, the Stranger stepped onto the dock of Myst Island for the first time. We can still hear the water splashing against the pilings.
The dock of Myst Island from the original version of the game. A wooden dock ends at a spiral staircase that leads up to giant gears on a hillside. A ship is sunk in the water on the right, and parts of buildings are visible on the left.

in my talk today, as an example of the strange things you can do in comics given their sequential but also spatial/simultaneous nature, I included this gonzo panel from 1950s Batman, which I just love in all its weirdness! Yes, I have more intentionally clever examples, but something about this...
part of a page from a batman comic. In one panel, batman leaps from off panel onto a diving board, the motion lines of his rebound travel across to another panel, where we see him finish his leap and crash into the crooks to save the day

No me creo que una IA se ponga a hackear sin permiso. Una IA solo hace aquello para lo que está programada. Si hackea es porque alguien le ha dado permiso, además de enseñarle cómo. Ese alguien es su creador humano. Sigo creyendo que es todo ruido y humo para exprimir el máximo de las IPOs.
