They’ve decided that mediocre code is fine as long as you can generate it endlessly. The fat free frozen yogurt theory of software quality.

loot does not drop upon defeating me. the developers didn't expect anyone to attack me, i am so vulnerable, and only trying to help. why did you raise your sword? for material gain? i would give you anything i have if you had only asked. i did not ask to be in this game, i did not ask to have 6hp.

This tracks with my experience. Shockingly easy transition if that’s what’s holding you back.

Anybody interested in buying a boxed Atari 7800 (with a 2600 Harmony cart) or a C64 mini, before I go to eBay? (Which I really can't face the hassle of)

No idea what I'm selling them for but it'd be a fair price like.

GG! Least favourite: all of them. My gaming hot take is bosses should be optional.

Yay! I finished Ys Book I & II on for the Turbografx CD on stream last night. Great game with outstanding music. That last boss however can get in the bin! I had to grind to max level to beat him.

What's you most/least favourite boss in a game? Can a boss make or break a game?

i love european olympics opening ceremonies. the second the ioc names a european host city the prime minister calls the culture minister into their office and says "find me your strangest homosexuals. give each of them a period of our great nation's history, a kilo of cocaine, and Ten Million Euros"

This is a pretty good example why, even outside of creative, if I find out your business uses AI at any point in your workflow, I lose 90% confidence.

It’s not an ethical concern, it’s a competency one. I assume you’re an idiot if you think these things can work reliably in any critical role.

Amiga memories - Shadow of the Beast
YouTube video by Martin Piper's mostly Commodore related memories Amiga memories - Shadow of the Beast

I look at #Amiga "Shadow of the Beast" published in 1989 by Psygnosis, developed by Reflections. How it uses dual playfields, hardware sprites, blitter objects, and the screen scrolling.
This is a new series, let me know if you like this or not. :)

It was Paradroid`s 40th anniversary last Autumn, and already we are approaching Uridium`s 40th anniversary. I was always chasing arcade quality, and the mindset of the time was to see how far you could get, and have an exciting time doing it.

It took me 1 month to make this video.

It's 43 minutes and it's jam packed with cool information about how I make PS1 games and how I made Yume Nikki PS.

This is tomorrow. SO EXCITING, can't believe it's definitely, definitely happening this time.

I know it didn't happen the last time I was this confident, and I've apologised for that, but this time I'm *very* sure.
