Always thinking about how one of the major reasons Nintendo stuck with cartridges for the N64 was that CD drives were still kinda expensive during its development, but then the N64 got delayed just long enough that once it came out CD drives started getting cheaper.
A neat Easter Egg for this San Francisco Rush 2049 U.S. magazine ad? The store is called Logg's TV Emporium, after Ed Logg (Asteroids and Centipede co-designer & co-creator of the Rush series!)
A screenshot from Pokemon Red version where the main character stands in the burnt lab on Cinnabar Island reading a diary. The diary says, “Feb. 6 Mew gave birth.”
Happy Birthday Mewtwo!!!!
Video game intros and voice acting peaked in this moment

Five-year-old me: Oooh, that Batman cartoon! What adventures will he go on today?
*the villain is left in tears, unable to process their fears and obsessions. And Batman, a looming presence born of the inability to rationalize terror, is the only one there to comfort them*
Me: Oh. Huh.
Chotiner: Tell me what you found interesting about these vampires.
Documentarian: Well, it's just -- the group dynamics, I guess.
Chotiner: I can see that. I can see finding Nandor, Laszlo and Nadia entertaining.
Documentarian: Exactly.
Chotiner: So. How many people did you watch them murder?
been playing the Link's Awakening remake with my kids — that thing thing is such a great example of bringing an old classic into the modern era.
That 'ladies, if your man' meme but made to be about Buckinghamshire Archives. It has four images: 'is tall' with an image of the county hall 'is old' with an image of the old archive in 1938 when it first opened 'is a little bit sporty' with an image of some wheelchair athletes 'is organised' with an image of archive boxes on a shelf then it has the following text 'that's not your man, that's Buckinghamshire Archives, home to over 800 years of records of the historic county of Buckinghamshire'
The followers can have little meme, as a treat
A lot of people are pointing out that handwriting isn't for everyone and typing is faster, and this is my plea for someone to reboot this beautiful and neglected classroom device
Hello! Would you like a long, distracting read about chasing a dream, perfecting analog video, battling AI-driven manufacturing shortages, and sticking to the principle of doing right by the open source MiSTer community? Here's that
This seems like a maliciously put headline to make people feel a certain way.
Wikipedia is not partaking in generative AI. They are making AI companies and scrappers having to pay for training their modules off wikipedia texts. And having an AI (not that ai) tasked with updating dead links.
I was telling one of my kids that it was physically impossible for an ad to play between songs on any of the records I own, and they asked "and you only have to pay for it once?" and you could see how strange that seemed. You cannot overstate how many basic rules of media consumption have changed.
you will have to pry the millennial “lol” from my cold dead hands. i don’t know how else to express minor despair. if i didn’t say “lol” after admitting i’m a husk inside, i’d have to develop emotional resilience, and i simply don’t have time for that
wikipedia turns 25 today! the last unenshittified major website! backbone of online info! triumph of humanity! powered by urge of unpaid randos to correct each other! somehow mostly reliable! "good thing wikipedia works in practice, because it sure doesn't work in theory" - old wiki adage

This was probably one of the last games to ship with old-style physical copy protection.
The disc had no DRM, no CD install key, you could rip it or make as many copies as you wanted.
if you didn't have the CD case liner with the number grid though, you weren't getting into the game!

One of the save slots in the WCES ‘95 Earthbound demo was called “EVENT HIGHLIGHTS” (the other three were empty for attendees to use). Sadly the guy who was playing when I was taking video got as far as highlighting it but he never selected it… @obscuremother.bsky.social @clydemandelin.bsky.social
OverClocked ReMix has just posted it's 5000th ReMix, which also happens to be my first new OCR track in a decade. If you like video game music and/or classic rock, check it out!

John McTiernan explaining that most of the people of color in prison with him hadn’t don’t anything wrong and comparing the modern prison system to Jim Crow
my favorite thing about McTiernan is that going to prison made him woke www.theguardian.com/film/2023/ju...
someone’s gotta give John McTiernan like $200m for one last job before he dies. he could save action movies and redeem himself for his criminal past
People have historically, and rightfully, seen the evil of Guantanamo, Abu Gharib, and now CECOT for what it is, but I wish more people would also see the evil in our domestic prisons too. How we treat our most vulnerable, including prisoners, really sets the tone for our whole society.
that the Whos celebrate Christmas suggests some knowledge of Christ, but whether this is our anthropic Christ or a distinctive Who-Christ remains obscure; some have argued Christianity was introduced to them during their refuge with Horton, which of course turns us to the matter of Elephant Religion
