FUCK IT, MISSING DOS WEDNESDAY

Trying to locate an Australian DOS game from ≈ 1988, 𝐋𝐞𝐱, 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐅𝐮𝐧 𝟏.

The game was part of a series of four Edutainment games by Reckon Software/John Grimley.

Here's the box cover art, a text ad, and screenshots of 2 other games in the series! Help a gal out!?

Abstinence From Asbestos Is Not the Answer
AI sits in billions of phones. Refusing to engage won't stop it, just leaves vulnerable people without knowledge. Demand ownership and control, not abstinence.
Abstinence From AI Is Not the Answer
Opinion | Refusing to use AI won’t protect society. Responsible resistance must include gaining knowledge about it.

Can we talk about how the time picker for BlueSky's new live feature resembles a YandereDev if statement?

Like what happened here?

Our statement concerning the decision to not grant interim pay relief to the member's fired by Rockstar. We remain confident in the strength of our case against Rockstar Games and we reiterate our firm belief that Rockstar broke the law when it summarily dismissed 31 union members.

One very important point to note: interim relief is REAL FUCKIN HARD to get and does not mean that the actual final hearing will go against the folk fired.

It still sucks that R* is wriggling out of paying people what they should be due though

Quote this with your favourite game from 2023 NOW, and what your favourite was THEN (if you had one)

Localisations/early access/expansions count, remasters/ports don't. Remakes depend.

Two-way ties count.

fine with this patent existing because it will discourage people from doing it
Sony has patented an AI gaming ghost that will play PlayStation games for you when you get stuck www.eurogamer.net/sony-has-pat...

such is the brand-searing power of microsoft's marketing division that they actually did this a year ago and everyone forgot or failed to notice
Microsoft is so fucking stupid.

Microsoft renamed Microsoft Office to Microsoft 365 Copilot App

I'm not joking

idk man those sound like really bad ideas even before we decide how to categorise it
As the backlash to generative AI in video games continues to pick up steam heading into 2026, it'll be fascinating to see what is considered "made with generative AI." Can a dev team say they're not using AI if they're writing design docs with Copilot or using chatGPT to make schedules and budgets?
