The diminishing returns from 3d hardware bumps are more and more underwhelming. I wonder if we’ve basically pushed projection based 3d as far as it can go. Things just seem to get sharper (barely) and shinier (very).
Maybe the next step is funneling it all through a neural network or something.

North America releases of a bunch of games from Europe, some under alternate names. Except for Buggy Boy which is Japanese but seemed to only be popular in Europe (?), which is too bad because it’s awesome.
The Uridium gatefold is one of my favorite things in my collection.

A relic from my youth. Probably all freeware disk mag stuff. I was also fascinated with copying pd games into the ramdisk.

Twitter made a disgusting harassment tool widely accessible and easy to use. This feels like something that needs a proportionate response to make clear this can’t happen again.

Survival tip:
“How can you talk about football at a time like this?”
It’s easy. I’m either gonna doomscroll and waste the remaining days/months of somewhat normal life worrying about shit that nobody can/will change, or I can just spend that remaining time doing/talking about things that make me happy.

Reminder that if you like Alisia Dragoon that you will like Firehawk; same dev, same combat system, bigger and less linear levels. This is the DOS port but it’s originally on PC-88.

“This isn’t the first time the synagogue has burned. On September 18, 1967, Beth Israel’s temple was bombed by local Ku Klux Klan members, in part because of the congregation’s work in the civil rights movement”
Once again, we are shaken by an antisemitic attack, this time on Beth Israel Congregation in Jackson, MS.
Our hearts are with the entire community, including the Institute for Southern Jewish Life. We must meet this moment with action, education, and solidarity.

Have you ever tried Crossbow on 7800, where you have to protect doofuses from being killed as they saunter across the screen with no urgency. It’s actually pretty good and there’s a Sega Light Phaser adaptor you can use.
