You think these servers are JBOD or are they running ZFS?

Some great PC representation in Resident Evil Requiem. We've got some off-brand Dell Optiplexes, some Lenovo "ThankCenters" ... and does that beige one have 5¹/⁴ *and* 3¹/²-inch floppy drives??

Sure the island isn't as good as the village or castle, but it still has some killer stuff -- the Iron Maiden enemies, the cat-and-mouse boss fight among the shipping containers, Krauser... RE4 at its worst is still better than most action games at their peak

afaik you just have to use the thing and root around as it suggests an assortment of "experts" based on context (or, perhaps, arbitrarily). Maybe someone with programmer smarts could access its whole database idk

It is a funny irony of the situation that presumably none of the AI editors are based on writing we've edited

So far with some digging we’ve found Grammarly AI editors based on:

@brandon.insertcredit.com
@mackeza.bsky.social
@ramiismail.com
@jasonschreier.bsky.social
@xoxogossipgita.blacksky.app
@stephentotilo.bsky.social

How flattering :^)

Grammarly is using our identities without permission Grammarly’s AI stole my boss’s identity.

I happened to be in downtown SF today, so I tried stopping by the Superhuman AI office to ask about the AI β€œeditor” based on me. Unfortunately just got a very nice office manager who said no one was in.

Lots of games people in Grammarly’s pool too besides me…

I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this πŸ˜‰

I grew up listening to MCC via my mom as well and still have so many songs from her early 90s albums I wholeheartedly love. Maybe John Doe Number 24 if I had to pick a single fave??

Hard disagree with the above, Double Team and Knock off are a killer double feature. Some amazing Tsui Hark camerawork and some legit stunts in Knock Off. More importantly, Van Damme is clearly on cocaine for the entire movie

A golf game @mackeza.bsky.social described as "about as far away from the sobriety of Tiger Woods as it is possible to get" in a 2008 Eurogamer review I'm very surprised exists www.eurogamer.net/pangya-review

I've become obsessed with this totally ridiculous old anime golf MMO I've never been this confused, or this entertained, by golf.

Thinking about PangYa today. Its final official servers, in Thailand, went offline 5 years after I wrote this πŸ₯²

Finally someone has threaded the needle between survival game and horse girl sim The Legend of Khiimori is a surprisingly detailed horse courier sim that I'm actually loving more than just in solidarity with my horse girl gamer friends.

I think Khiimori might finally be the horse girl game I can wholeheartedly get behind. Once it makes it out of early access, anyway.

Nice. I had a gifted NEX-3 ages ago, and after it got stolen I bought an A6000 which was my camera until I finally upgraded to the much more powerful A6700 last year... but I kinda miss how much lighter those older models were. πŸ₯²

A fisherman with his head down and a cap covering his eyes as he repairs a net. A bright blue wooden boat is in the background behind him and the water is very light.

Kate these are phenomenal photographs and immediately reminded me of one of the best my dad ever took, which my family still has a print of up on the wall 40+ years later. Yours will have the same longevity, I think.

Great report from @jacksonwryan.com about this mess. To show you all how frustrating this has been -- ClickOut Media's GamesHub still lists me as an active "Games & Tech Editor", and I'm placed alongside their fake AI 'writers'. I've asked them to stop, but these sites are desperate for credibility.
