What is cyberspace?
From VirtualCity Issue 1 A welter, a babble, a thrumming in the ears. Listen: Internet. The Net. Online. Offline. Telnet. OJ Simpson, Bart Simpson. eWorld, Prodigy, Delphi, GEnie. Newt, Mother Teresa, Eudora. Fetch, Zip and Stuffit. Howard Stern, Michael Jackson, Ricki Lake, Colin Powell. V.32, V.34, V.fast. Email, hardware handshaking, flow control, x-on, x-off. Xmodem, Ymodem, Zmodem. Andy Warhol, Princess Di, Kate Moss, AOL, Pipeline, CIS, wwwbbsmsn... "Make me wanna holler," as Marvin Gaye observed so astutely in Inner City Blues. Is it any wonder some of us are still a little murky about the whole deal?

The last 14 years have been a bonanza for some.
News article text: And the most interesting news is that IMDB.com listed Benicio del Toro as not only being in Episode 8, which we already knew, but they listed his character name as "Sir Vicrum Fett" IMDB.com has since removed that name, but it may have been leaked accidentally. So does that mean that Benico del Toro is going to play a descendent or relative of Boba Fett? News article text: The Theory: Rey's Father is Benicio Del Toro as Ezra Bridger Darth Hodor on Reddit presents the following theory that Rey's father could be revealed to be Benicio Del Toro as Ezra Bridger: Simply put, I think Benicio Del Toro is going to be Rey's father. ... But that's not to say Del Toro will be playing a new character. I think he's playing an adult Ezra Bridger (from the Rebels TV show). He'd be about the right age, and there have been theories that Rebels will end with Ezra (and Kanan if he's still alive) joining Luke's new Jedi Academy. News article text: Star Wars 8 news: Is Benicio del Toro playing THRAWN in The Last Jedi? STAR WARS fan favourite Thrawn could be played by Benicio del Toro in The Last Jedi in the latest tantalising rumours circulating.

friendly reminder that the N64 conversion of Daikatana has all-new cutscenes courtesy of Kemco, who took it upon themselves to add additional action and character animations to compensate for the inability to include the original voice acting. needless to say, they are an Incredible Improvement

Iran has killed all connections to the outside. But in the early morning the regular internet works briefly. In that time, @hackimi.bsky.social sent me a letter about what it's like being a developer without the internet as the government tries to squash everyone:

A Game Developer Without Internet
Iran has been without internet for 9 days. Arash sent a letter as a developer without the internet, in the few moments when the great firewall faltered.

ART VS ARTIST 2025⚡️⭐️

Lots of work, little play. More boundaries, less disappointments. In all my years I am finally feeling my magic, and I think I am capable of great things. Thank you all, especially @chilluminatipod.fm , for supporting my silly little dreams. ❤️

Finally had time to compare the UK (screenbound) and US (liberation hall) releases of the Robocop TV series. The biggest difference of course being that the UK one is original 4:3, while the US one is cropped to 16:9, losing lots of visual info. I'm no expert but here's what I found.
I'm holding two Robocop TV series blu rays. They both depict Robocop in his standard silver and black with his gun raised upward. The one on the left (uk) has a fire orange background, while the right (us) has a slip case showing robo against a dark night cityscape.
