TRON: ARES post credit scene is dividing audiences… how do we feel about this?

hup

do you desire a world where indie developers are able to succeed financially and make additional indie games? prove it by buying my dang ol' game for half price

This is an Xbox

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

did you know: the major character in this game besides the ball is a whale animated by Jay Benson, who you might know from the first and last pages of The Final Hours Of Half-Life Alyx!

if YOU found this piece of trivia sort of weird and left field, consider buying InFlux Redux

This is that “deprofessionalization” shit front and center. Devaluing developer labor so everyone around the studio can profit in some way.

Rage-bait content creators, Outsourcers, localization companies, toolmakers, publishers, platforms, investors—they all have a lot to gain!

Quote by Akira "Akiman" Yasuda, head of Capcom illustration. "Okamoto was so angry with the game that the CEO of Incredible Technologies tried to patch things up by inviting us over to her home. The house was humongous — it had a basement area, a huge 200-inch projection screen TV, a game room ... it was an impressively luxurious house. Seeing that house actually made my heart sink further, just with how big it was, and how little money I had myself. I mean, we'd created this huge hit with Street Fighter 2, but I didn't get rich off of it. It wasn't until much later, long after the development of Street Fighter 2, that we actually started to see some money come in. It wasn't until it looked like we all might quit, and then Capcom brought in a consulting group and we were finally given raises. But before that, we didn't see a lot of money from the games we made."

This sobering quote from Akiman about the time some of the street fighter team visited the home of the president of Incredible Technologies, the subcontracted US studio that made the Street Fighter: The Movie game

rayman rayman 2 as well. why not

Yesterday, I uploaded the ISO image of one of the rarest videogames known to exist, of which a single copy is known to exist in the online world. After years of appeals, its owner finally agreed to share it with me so that I could in turn share it with the world.

Hmmmm time to get a 5th gen me thinks

The speed at which corporations shed their respectable reputations cultivated over decades and transformed into predatory werewolves is stunning. It is a betrayal and an all-out war on artists.

Bluesky UI concept

Japanese politician Shinji Oguma cuts through the doublespeak and calls what Trump is doing with tariffs exactly what it is - extortion. Countries yield to such thuggery at their own existential peril.

From NYT article about the increasing use of AI in the classroom: “Writing is one of the most challenging tasks for students, which is why it is so tempting for some to ask A.I. to do it for them. In turn, A.I. can be useful for teachers who would like to assign more writing, but are limited in their time to grade it.”

Why even have a brain, any ideas, any ability to express them, any kind of communication with other people, any desire to solve problems or invent anything, any reason to learn, any use for your eyes or your heart, or any reason to teach or create

like just look at this six-year run. nearly every one of these is an immense banger. insane stretch of features.
