I was a little spooked when some of these were actually pretty good and then a minute passed and they all looked like garbage lol

I can't help but smile a little every time I am not in Hawaii (which is, alas, most of the time) and see a vehicle with Hawaiian license plates

Hirohisa Komanome, programmer at Ikegami Tsushinki, who were contracted to make the Donkey Kong arcade: Once we received a telex from an overseas company inquiring about the program of Donkey Kong. [...] I remember that it was a request to modify the program, to change Donkey Kong to their company's brand. It was easy to disassemble program ROMs and dump them in ASCII code with the development tools available then. Knowing that the bootleggers would begin their analysis of the hardware by disassembling and dumping the code, we inserted the following message at the end of the program as a joke: CONGRATULATION ! IF YOU ANALYSE DIFFICULT THIS PROGRAM,WE WOULD TEACH YOU.***** TEL.TOKYO-JAPAN 044(244)2151 EXTENTION 304 SYSTEM DESIGN IKEGAMI CO. LIM. The company that sent us that telex had read this message, and they contacted us directly. All four of us were surprised. Naturally, we refused the request. Source: shmuplations.com/donkeykong

The programmers of the Donkey Kong arcade left a message in the code to hackers mockingly congratulating them and offering to teach them as a joke. A group of bootleggers actually took this seriously and contacted the company asking for help pirating their own game.

This game is a very cool take on a precision platformer where you can't jump in the traditional sense but you do have a baseball bat and Newton's Third Law.

It's somewhat open but not metroidvania (iirc) and is worth giving a shot before you see people absolutely blow this game up in a few months

Bat to the Heavens is part of AGDQ 2026 and RTA in Japan!!
A celebratory SALE!!! yay!!!
try it before the speedrunners go crazy and enjoy the runs!!

And in that pause between pitch and contact - longer than logic, shorter than hope - we remembered why baseball existed long before we judged a sport's value by viral moments and betting apps. It is the romance of failure. The mortal beauty of trying and missing seven times out of 10 and still being considered great. It is the only sport where patience is a weapon, and panic the surest death. You cannot simply run out the clock in baseball; you must face it, pitch by terrifying pitch, until it finally releases you.

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper

Though to be fair, the birth of the smartphone made access to brain rot a lot more ubiquitous

How is albinoblacksheep still updating btw

If you're a millennial like me and think modern brain rot is ruining our society remember that our generation was raised on things like all your base and badger badger badger and peanut butter jelly time so I for one welcome our new 67 overlords

I'm so mad that this was actually just Saruman what the fuck this was supposed to be an off-brand wizard

ok so if you skip past the ending in the 9th the game will continue reading innings as normal; eventually this overflows the score buffer and you'll see by the pitch diagram that we've been writing very precise locations to memory aaand (Bad Apple suddenly manifests in the stadium, audience claps)
