Bonus points for anything that is not a JRPG
While I respect the genre, is not one of my favorites. I like games I can play in bite-sized sessions if possible

Get a mixed-pack from your chemist. 0s & 1s are good for twirling greebles out of a USB-C socket, 2 & 3 for Lightning, 5 for USB-A & HDMI. Get some!

I sometimes wonder why many in my generation are really weird and then I am reminded that we grew up playing a game that launched clowns into the air to pop balloons until said clowns inevitably fell to their deaths on the ground. #Atari

βClaude Code has become the go-to choice for coders everywhere, and so it was no surprise to learn OpenAI's own technical staff were also using our coding tools ahead of the launch of GPT-5,β Anthropic spokesperson Christopher Nulty said in a statement to WIRED. βUnfortunately, this is a direct violation of our terms of service.β According to Anthropicβs commercial terms of service, customers are barred from using the service to βbuild a competing product or service, including to train competing AI modelsβ or βreverse engineer or duplicateβ the services. This change in OpenAIβs access to Claude comes as the ChatGPT-maker is reportedly preparing to release a new AI model, GPT-5, which is rumored to be better at coding.
Scoop: Anthropic revoked OpenAIβs API access to its models on Tuesday, multiple sources familiar with the matter tell WIRED. OpenAI was informed that its access was cut off due to violating the terms of service. www.wired.com/story/anthro...
