There are like seven revisions of PCE Tokimemo. Most just have bugfixes, but later ones contain an extremely obscure piece of hidden content I'm not sure is documented anywhere in English. The only hint of it is in a new magazine ad that obliquely refers to something known only as "boot job #37." 🧵

a pixel art portrait of Frieren (from Frieren: Beyond Journeys End), following the format of a painting by Johannes Vermeer, named "Girl with a Pearl Earring". Frieren closely follows the reference image in pose, and gaze.

In "Eric's Ultimate Solitaire", entering your name as "Weasel" changes every single card face into a Joker. They still retain their ranks and suits, though, so this effectively blindfolds the game.

For years I thought this was a bug. It'd literally only happen to me.
A game of Klondike, in Eric's Ultimate Solitaire 1.3 for Mac OS classic. Every face-up card on screen is a Joker, featuring the game's weasel mascot.

For random game Saturday, here is a brand new homebrew turbografx collection I got in the mail today. It contains @aetherbyte.bsky.social's reflectron and nantetatte engine on one cart. More info here www.aetherbyte.com/aetherbyte-a...
My hand is holding a home made turbografx hucard with an alien and an anime girl on it. Has a yellow and pink label that says aethermix. Behind it is a cassette tape of music from the games (and others) with a swirly pastel cover, with robots and a green hand drawn logo saying aether mix on it, this time as two words.

Namako does not want to touch the frog! A little Faye and Namako we commissioned from @wildrumpus.bsky.social a while back~
Two of our characters are shown in stylized 3D made to look like clay figures. A Chibi Faye, with red hair, a dark shirt, and white overalls open at the waist, is holding a dopey looking frog. She's smiling widely and showing it to a Chibi namako, with blue hair and a lighter blue skirt suit and shoes. Namako is making an expression indicating maybe she's not so excited about that frog.

I spoke with people role-playing ICE raids in video games to help educate people on their rights and what to do in real-life situations. Tonight, they're holding an event in Fortnite www.wired.com/story/activi...
New Save Collective plans to continue holding future events and organizing gamers. The fight for these communities online is far from over. “Gaming wasn't kind of a random genre that we chose,” says Siggelkow. “We've been tracking anti-immigrant myths and disinformation digitally for years. We really grounded this campaign in a lot of data and research. This really is a space that is critical for immigration narrative.”

On the day the House of Representatives voted to denounce the "horrors of socialism," here's a small thread of Trump just absolutely loving Mamdani. What a wild time we live in.

Reporter: Are you affirming that you think the president is a fascist?

Mamdani: I've spoken about --

Trump: Just say yes, it's easier than explaining.
