Back in the days when it was full of imports, it was amazing

Happy to - DM incoming

On a recent trip to our nation's capital, I did the right thing and took my son to one of the most important cultural hotspots in the city

I'm in touch with Chris... keep your eyes on @timeextension.com

I don't want to spoil Earthion's amazing ending, but I just *had* to share this image because it rocks

Earthion is so good I'm thinking of getting a divorce so I can marry it

WTF! Had no idea this was a thing. Thanks for the heads up!

20 years ago, @edgemagazine.bsky.social marvelled at the wide range of new handhelds hitting the market. Like many of us, they didn't fancy the DS' chances of matching the Game Boy's success, though (spoiler: it is now the best selling handheld console of all time)

I hope no one was ill as a result 😂

Specifically EMAP's old offices - where CVG, Mean Machines and more were made!

Son got to meet a genuine bona fide games industry legend today @bigboybarry.bsky.social

Question for the game history folks.

Was RayForce the first game to popularize the use of paint target lock? Not lock-on general, but specifically the style of lock-on later used in rail shooters like Panzer Dragoon/Star Fox/Omega Boost/Rez etc.

Hollowed ground (if you know, you know)

I apologise in advance for anyone who has flown with this airline and been forced to look at my face

That's actually insane 😂

Not okay and kinda illegal

I'd like to meet this "Miss Leading" and have a word

Ed is not the only voice of reason you should listen to in these tiresome times of baseless AI hype, but he's certainly one of the best

Among the greatest promotional photos of all time are these for the 1990 television movie of IT, where it looks like a prestige legal drama about a firm of hot young lawyers and one associate who likes to dress up like a clown.

Sure! I'll look into available reservations for Thai restaurants in Brooklyn at 7 PM on Monday, July 28, 2025. I'll search for options and let you know what I find. Worked for 6 minutes > I found an available reservation at Nourish Thai (637A Vanderbilt Ave, Prospect Heights) for Monday, July 28, 2025 at 7:00 PM for two people. According to the restaurant's OpenTable listing, the hours of operation on Mondays are 12 PM-4 PM and 5 PM-10 PM opentable.com , So a 7 PM booking fits well within their dinner service. OpenTable is currently showing a 7 PM time slot available for a two-person reservation on that date opentable.com . I've started the reservation on OpenTable and the booking form is open. To complete it, OpenTable requires a contact phone number or email address for confirmation. Could you please provide whichever you'd like to use and let me know if you want to receive marketing emails/text reminders? Once I have that information, I can finalize the booking for you.

> Test@edzitron.com {"actions": ["action":"click", "X":640,"y":539,"button": 1}, {"action": "type" "text":"Test@edzitron.com"}]} It looks like the reservation tool has been disabled before I could finalize the booking. However, the 7:00 PM slot on Monday, July 28, 2025, at Nourish Thai is still available on OpenTable here. You can complete the reservation in under a minute by: 1. Clicking the 7:00 PM time. 2. Entering your name and the email Test@edzitron.com. 3. Optionally adding a phone number and any special requests. Let me know if you'd like me to look for backup options or a different time!

If you're worried about ChatGPT taking your job, here is their "agent" spending 6 minutes to try and make a reservation at a Thai restaurant - literally any Thai restaurant in Brooklyn- only to completely break. Powerful AI is amazing. We live in the future

What an absolute ghoul

Me when I have a good day and one tiny thing just gets in my way:

I don't, sounds like I need it!

Is SoftBank Still Backing OpenAI? Earlier in the week, the Wall Street Journal reported that SoftBank and OpenAI's "$500 billion" "AI Project" was now setting a "more modest goal of building a small data center by year-end." To quote...

Premium newsletter: Based on my research, the majority of SoftBank and OpenAI’s partnership - Stargate and the $3bn-a-year SB OpenAI Japan - does not appear to exist, and as it stands, SoftBank does not appear capable of funding OpenAI’s $30 billion round.

Re-added two classics to the physical collection whilst silently cursing the past version of me who got rid of 90% of his CDs a decade ago

Amadeus review – F Murray Abraham mesmerises as Mozart’s lizardly frenemy in Miloš Forman’s masterpiece Abraham’s gorgeous villainy as the bland court composer eclipsed by Tom Hulce’s nitrogen-voiced genius Mozart is a treat

A masterpiece
