29 long years have passed since I founded the emulation archive, Zophar's Domain, on 11.9.96. To this very day, the site still stands as a testament to an era that never actually disappeared but continues to live in the hearts of retrogamers all over the word. Emulation Forever!

the advanced bluesky moderation page. I've turned most settings to "warn"because I'm surious so see what they consider "extreme" or "threats" and completely turned off the "rude" moderation, because it's stupid

theres posts going around to turn off the "rude poster" moderation in your settings, and I decided to also set everything else to "warn" (bc bsky had them auto set to "hide") and ive encountered some posts with these "warnings" that were so innocuous they made me laugh out loud

No, but seriously? Over 30 people supposedly leaking information? All "coincidentally" from workers trying to unionize? With no widespread release of information in the rumor mills? The more you think about it the more it just cannot add up.

WWE is expected to generate $4.7 billion in revenue in FY 2025. But now-released WWE wrestler Ridge Holland needs a GoFundMe? Absolutely disgusting. Even worse: Chelsea Green posted this on X, then had to delete. The top two donations (after her) are from AEW's Nick Jackson & Kyle Fletcher too.

For some reason the media is not mentioning that the reason GTA6 is being delayed is they fired 40 staff over threats of unionization and now the rest of their staff are revolting

Anyway I hadn't heard anyone talking about this, so I guess I'm gonna talk about it. Spread the word if you're thinking about doing an nsfw KS project, Stripe apparently might pull your funding at literally any step of the process, with zero warning!

Gauntlet Arcade splash screen (1985)

Gauntlet, the four-player arcade game, is 40 years old. Its release saw it showing up in arcades in the later part of 1985, but when it showed up at your local arcade, you knew it. Long lines, big crowds, and a lot of fun, it ate most of my quarters for months.

Gamefaqs was where I cut my teeth hanging out on forums and also looking at guides
I will never forget trying to figure out which codes did or didn't work and how much fun it was when it turns out they didn't actually lie to you. About it!

Long live Gamefaqs, keep using it

Censorship is now coming for your dnd and your warhammer and your farming sim, they don't care if it's not adult content. They wanted everything

please vote. please.
please. please. please.

show these fascists and billionaires we're fucking done.

show the corporations and universities that we're against this and if they stand up to fascism, the public will be there.

do what we failed to do last year.

please.

Short version because people aren't reading the blog

- "dislikes", essentially just a "not interested" button, private, doesn't effect anyone but yourself

- "Social proximity", puts people you know at the top of comments

- "Reply context", shows people full thread before they reply

Hey everyone, here's a real simple way to disable "Super Resolution" on your channels:

• YouTube Studio
• Settings
• Channel
• Advanced settings
• Uncheck "Let YouTube enhance visual quality"
• Uncheck "Let YouTube enhance audio quality"

you can opt out in your channel settings!

worth noting that this doesn't apply to quality settings that already exist (i.e. if a video is in 240p, the actual original 240p version is still viewable)

this change sucks but it is so much easier to navigate around than people are pretending it is

I propose November 1st as resurgence day. Halloween ends, and we all pick up the phones again. MasterCard and Visa, bare minimum, once per day. Every day. All of us. They are only hiring the usual number of holiday workers, this would frighten credit card companies. “It’s not going away”

They are also intentionally conflating machine-learning and generative AI slop to confuse and try to make GenAI seem necessary. Google Maps traffic stuff is machine learning, not GenAI, for example. Auto-correct is too. Don't let them make you lose the thread. GenAI slop is slop.

Set your country to Antarctica or somewhere similar in the "language and location" settings if you, or someone you know, uses or has a pixiv account so nothing will be censored on your end moving forward. They even tell you to do it. They WANT you to do it. Don't make your location your own country.

still thinking about this article today. so many societal ills are caused by people white-washing what actually happens. it's awful to see games do it too.

Paypal is now playing harder ball on artists, going after anyone even mentioning commissions.

Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail.

Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos.

Everyone: INCREASE THE CALLS.
