I really liked the artwork cards that were in Gaelco 2 and Jaleco 1.

I've been using Duolingo now for about 4 months. It is odd how it excels in some areas, such as variety and charm, and yet in other areas which you could see as being fundamental to learning, it seems to provide a lot of frustration. The "test before being taught" model is confusing to me. #ux

A screenshot of a game in progress, the game is similar to Sokoban where the player must navigate a maze while strategically moving certain blocks to escape. The pixel-art textures give a grim dungeon vibe.

Some visual tweaks and the crate texture now in place ๐Ÿ“ฆ

Progress of current Sokoban inspired web game. (Though really I blame countless ours of playing Kwirk on the Game Boy as a kid ๐Ÿ˜„)

Would you consider an AI generated image "slop" if it was created by a model that was only trained on images which obtained permission or were willingly donated by artists, illustrators and photographers? Trying to determine what extent the feeling of theft contributes to the labelling of slop.

If Tron makes an appearance in the final scene, voiced by Bruce Boxleitner, accompanied by the classic Tron melody, and defeats Ares in a disc duel... I'd 10/10 this movie in a heart beat.

I want a mobile phone with an old CRT display, as thick as it is tall. Let's also bring back the antenna but make it like a miniature satellite dish. Symbian OS.

Not sure how long these Duck Duck Go Easter eggs have been around for, but if you search for "Elvis" the duck is bestowed the iconic pompadourโ€‘style quiff and sequined jumpsuit.
I wonder how many more there are?

Got my copy yesterday! It's such a quality game, having so much fun with it ๐Ÿ™Œ

I'd also buy the soundtrack in a Heartbeat.

Ohhh Demon Attack, so good! The one game I was hoping to see on the original Atari Collections.

The editing, multi-layered fade transitions and title sequence of Alien Earth reminds me of Alien 3. Now I'm just waiting for it to take a leaf out of Resurrection's book and have a basketball action sequence. That'll be episode 4.

If it doesn't need to be racing, I'd love to see a GameBoy Spy game. No guns or combat, if you get seen you restart the level. Hide behind object and take different routes to reach your goal (steal files,data etc). Visually similar to Alien 3 GB, top down.

A mod for Hubs which lets us become fish in a customisable fish tank. The only way to move forward is to shout "Glub!" Repeatedly into the mic until you lose your voice.

Perfect. Would be marginally improved if, before saying "not a Vulcan't", he slowly turns to look directly into the camera.
