Toby Fox: My goal with these days wasn't to show you a new hidden truth you will never be able to access - my goal is to remind you that you have always been able to go if you just hold the key of asking what's there

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.

ChatGPT Translated An Article About Space Harrier, Then Suggested "Tailoring" It For Retro Gamer The threat of Generative AI is very real

We're at the stage where ChatGPT is actively encouraging its users to take copyrighted (translated) work, add their name to it, and submit it to specific magazines. It truly is an automated theft machine.

More developers need to do this and push the announcement of games back until they're ready.

They used that extra 20 minutes very well and the game looks great.

A List Of Games By Trans People Before 2010

Happy pride folks

I'm still fleshing out the entries, but here's a list of over 200 retro games (pre-2010) which were made by trans people or which had trans people on the dev team.

We have always been here.

SΓ©amas O'Reilly: We have elevated AI that almost never works as well as what it replaces I could write an article just like this one every single day, each filled with brand-new examples of AI’s constant enshittification of the media we consume

It’s been two months since I wrote about AI which, as someone who detests having to write about AI, feels like not much time at all.

On fake books, cash traps and magic beans, and why I continue to hate every vapid tentacle AI thrusts in our direction.

The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion at 15 - The Ted Peterson Interview We chat to the series' co-creator as we look back on one of that generation's defining games and those that came before it.

Since everyone's back on Oblivion, it seems like a good time to re-up my interview with Ted Peterson for @vg247.bsky.social from the 15th anniversary. He gave me the guts of two hours and we could've gone several more. www.vg247.com/the-elder-sc...

Noting Rowling’s vast financial success, Barker felt that Rowling’s newfound position of fame ought to exclude her from discussing trans rights. He added, β€œIt really just seems redundant for a woman as successful, as validated in the world, as Ms Rowling, to be negative, to be disruptive if you will, to a very beaten up subculture. These are human beings. She has no right to opine, I think, upon the lives of human beings that she does not know.”

β€œI feel very protective of people who are on the edge of our culture as gay people still are,” Barker continued. β€œAnd certainly transgender people are on the edge of our culture. And here you have one of the most successful people in the frigging world – Ms Rowling. Going after a very emotionally vulnerable portion of our culture. It just seems unnecessary and unfair.”
