Finally, I have become Video Games

So sorry to hear this, it's way too soon

your dead AI mother loves you so much ❤️

Shittification and shareholder return

A rehash of an old thread

Why is everything crap. Well, here we learn why Adam Smith was an early Marxist, in that though he had great faith in markets

He had zero faith in merchants

And the reason why, is why no one answers your helpline

True Shark emulation on the Switch, finally

Whereas the Star Wars game holds a special place in my heart for:

1. The Han Solo song

2. Being the one video game I got my grandpa to play. He was a sarlacc, destroying Mos Eisley, and had a great time

The worst game I ever reviewed was Michael Phelps: Push The Limit. Just an endless flailing limb catastrophe whose only redeeming feature was bribing the player with a steady stream of 50G-100G achievements within minutes of first boot.

I hired a cellist for the video review.

It also featured a guy peeing & not washing his hands before throwing you an apple you had to catch & eat.

As a Kinect reviewer back then (it made for fun videos), I still think it had its uses. However, it’s more fun to focus on the bad stuff.

Steel Battalion mechs had a self destruct button you would inadvertently push while flailing to hit the button that aired out exhaust from the steerhouse.

"I DON'T NEED YOU TO FUCKING REWRITE WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN!"

Video games are finally art

The entire release strategy for my upcoming single is exploiting this tiny dog for views until people love me.

Oh hey I wrote a song about a dog haunted by the Google Street View car, just in time for Halloween

Yes it's a niche haunting but please go listen, my daughter is doing the backing vocals (also doing ghost moves)

Remember when tools like Substance Painter or Zbrush came out and you didnt have to spend years trying to force them into pipelines or convince artists that they were good tools that facilitated new and improved methods of working on stuff?

Fingers crossed we get an update to this all-timer

Lo Fidelity Allstars! Dancepunkey genre-mashup ahead of its time. Happy I bought it on vinyl back then, because it has the original version of «Battle Flag» from before they removed the Prince interpolation and messed up the ending.

«Kasparov's Revenge» is good:

Got added to a public advisory board for video game culture in Norway, which of course feels very grown up

‘Amoral, evil’: vitriolic backlash builds against comics who played Riyadh festival Murder by bone-saw, lashings for rape victims, punishment amputation, jail for satirists … these are the Saudi human rights abuses fuelling the fury at the likes of Louis CK, Dave Chappelle and Jimmy ...

One of the better takedowns of the whole Riyadh thing, for how it details the actual conditions for comedy there www.theguardian.com/stage/2025/o...

Tron is such an 80s thing, it's hard to make relevant for the 21st century. It's all about arcade games and mainframes, and software that was written primarily by a single coder. The actual story of Tron is silly AF, which is one of its main joys.

But it should never have been revived.

45 minutes with the demo & I'm now pretty confident that Skate Story by @bysameng.com is gonna fill the Sayonara Wild Hearts sized hole in my life

Give me the game about the thing that would kill me if I tried it in real life, is what I’m saying

Like, I have never in my life actively waited & pined for a skating game before, and at this point it’s been years

I am so here for this it’s crazy, and I’m saying that a someone who never got into skating games

When I find myself in AI bubbles
LLM folks come to me
Prompting words of wisdom
Eat a brie

Let it burn
Let it burn

When I get older, losing my teeth
All too soon indeed
Will you still be phishing me with dodgy texts
AI emails promising sex
If I let your malware access my cam
Will you doxx my dick
Will you still phone me
Will you still pwn me
When I'm ninety six
