“Concerns over an AI bubble bursting have grown lately, with analysts recently finding that it’s 17 times the size of the dotcom-era bubble and four times bigger than the 2008 financial crisis.”

Hang onto your butts. This “correction” is gonna hurt.

I really wish there wasn't a Random option for picking a CrossWorld in, well, CrossWorlds. It undermines the whole choice thing when every freaking race, 1st place just picks Random.

So, so close to having roughs done for Ch. 2. 4 pages to hold, then I can finally begin prepping the next batch for Patreon.

Was fighting off some burnout for a bit, but now I'm back at it, on both my own art and commissions.

I WAS considering streaming after the Mariners game ended, but the time for that has passed, lmao

Also, I've been looking for a good option to use as a portable mouse pad for Switch 2 mouse games, and a tablet cover works great. Lightweight, but sturdy, and the controller easily slides across it

Mario's face is usually obscured, but the way it's drawn here really reminds me of Paper Mario.

2 worlds done in Mario & Wario. I dunno how long the later levels are gonna get, but I'll probably finish it over the weekend.

Honestly, this might be some of my favorite Mario pixel art on the SNES. It comes so close to matching the 2D Mario art of the era, it's great!

(Not really related, but as much as I prefer the original Strikers, it's been really funny watching people play it for the first time and realize how identical in scope it is to Battle League, lmao. I was saying that for YEARS, man. People mainly remember the Wii one.)

Dalton | SmashToons @smashtoons.com · 12h

Still thinking about a "Worst sequels ever" list I saw that included *every* Switch Mario Sports game and like... including Tennis Aces already makes that wrong, but the other two are still fun games that just aren't worth their price. Letdowns, sure, but worst *ever*? Really...?

When you play a lot of games, you quickly learn that the ones people claim are the worst are often just... mediocre.

You tend to be more forgiving when you see how bad games can actually get.

Jon Cartwright @jon.gvg.io · 16h

How many games considered to be the worst of all time are actually pretty good

Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

This is actually what is going to happen.

That’s already what’s happening in Lebanon. Israel kills regularly, violates the ceasefire agreement on an hourly basis.

It’s just not on the news anymore.

This is why pressure against Israel mustn’t just continue, but increase.

I know I'm the farm sim guy, but honestly? Grand Bazaar.

Blows all previous remakes in the series out of the water. It's the originator of the genre re-establishing what made it so special to begin with.

And it's just dang fun!

More hard-hitting journalism from yours truly.

io9: Was the scene where Zero makes motorcycle noises in the premiere scripted, or was it improvised?

Yanaka: It was improvised by the voice actor.

Kamen Rider ZEZTZ still of Zero revving like a motorcycle with Baku on his back.

In Donkey Kong Bananza, DK's banana awareness is tied to how far the camera is zoomed out. If the bananas are offscreen, this can create the impression of him playing a silly game with the camera where he makes a funny face only when the player isn't looking closely.

Looking through binoculars around Moo Moo Meadows in Mario Kart World has a small chance of activating a "cute jumpscare" Easter egg whereby a group of Para-Biddybuds will suddenly look into the binoculars from the other side.
