Microsoft Kin but revived (2026)

Essentially if the Kin line managed to survive to the current day, albeit it's now yet another Android phone.

Panel 1: Exec: "Ok guys ok ok we won't kill Adobe Animate." Crowd: "Phew" "thank fuck" "That's better" "I'm still switching to something else." "No yeah you really should"
Panel 2: Exec: "Unfortunately we will also stop adding new features to it." Crowd: "WOO!!!" "It's a dream come true!" "Yeah!" "Finally!" Exec: "... um. Why are they cheering"

Adobe appears to have reversed course on this. Animate is safe, at least for the immediate future.

a comic. sinkdog sits on the countertop, broken dishes on the floor around her. she apologizes to a dog character (let's call her daisy) sweeping up the broken glass, who responds "it's okay!"
in the next panel daisy is washing dishes in sinkdog, who is laying on the counter, looking away with tears running down her face. 
"it will get like this again." sinkdog comments. 
"and i'll help you again." daisy replies. 
"even if i never get better?"
"of course."
in the next couple of panels we see a clean, normal sink, and sinkdog rising up from the counter, now a regular intact dog character, freed from the mental block that was the dirty dishes.
daisy clasps sinkdog (who is now wearing a hoodie and pj pants) on the shoulders and says "i hope i could unstick you a little bit." sinkdog smiles tearfully back. 
in the final panel they hug. daisy says "i love you." sinkdog looks relieved.

Essentially what a mix between various 90s online services (e.g. Dream Passport, Randnet, XBAND) plus PSBBN and the PS1 would look like.

with this excuse, why not discontinue Photoshop? it's been around for ~10 years longer than flash and there's been no notable features that I'm aware of since CS6

they're 4k AI upscaling you in the qrts bro. yeah you're really smooth and HD now and all your intricate details are kind of blurred. You're at 60fps and have interpolated in-between frames dude.

fuck all of the creatives that have their workflow adapted to flash I guess. makes me wonder if adobe plans to have a replacement app in the future or if they are just killing their premiere animation app (outside of after effects... ig) for the vaguest of reasons.

Jerry Lawson, the inventor of the video game cartridge.

Jerry Lawson, the inventor of the video game cartridge.

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm.

The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him.

Happy Black History Month.

It's a good time to remind you about Jerry Lawson's influence in the video game industry.
