So I'm taking the plunge and ordering some PC parts over Black Friday.

If you appreciate what @startmenu.bsky.social has done over the years, like @rewinder.co.uk/my freelance work, or thought I didn't sound like an idiot on Game Mess Mornings, now would be a great time to show your appreciation.

@dark1x.bsky.social I think Corey asked on the podcast that went up today, but I remember one of the devs in this video mentioning that Sneak King was the only commercial dual system disc, and that it wasn't done by anyone else because you were basically trying to cram two games onto one disc.

I rarely use GOG, but I love it dearly because it means that I have instant access to high-quality Yakuza PS2 renders.

Legal NGO Adalah said that the discriminatory nature of the bill has been evident throughout the legislative process, “during which lawmakers have repeatedly stated that the law is intended to apply to Palestinians as punishment for the killing of Israelis”.

Israel's parliament is working on a death penalty law, but only for Palestinians
The sentence is to be death by hanging.

The best thing about dual screen Android devices is it's caused loads of work within the emulation community to get dual screen output stuff working but once you get past the Wii U/DS/3DS it's just batshit stuff like the PPSSPP creators making it so you can zoom in on a random section of a screen.

Ultimately you're not supposed to believe it. It not mattering is the point. The bolder the lie, the greater the impunity. The ultimate victory for evil is not convincing you, it's the truth being irrelevant.
We’re supposed to believe this is a domestic terrorist attacking ICE with a gun

i have gotten some surprisingly adverse reactions over the years to calling CoD/Battlefield etc "american military propaganda" even though I don't even think that's a very cutting statement as much as it is just a literal statement.

lot of people just, really unprepared to reckon with that idea lol

No because any black scholar, feminist scholar, (writer, thinker) could tell you it’s never been about gun rights, constitutionalism, states rights, or whatever other bs

The only consistent underlying ideology of the right is the violent and material oppression of marginalized people. Period.
The right is arguing that federal agents should be allowed to summarily execute you if you are carrying a firearm—after years of warning crazy people that federal agents would come and seize your guns.

Did a deep dive into Mishima and its decade-long wait for a Japanese release
Decades after its planned premiere was canceled, Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters has finally screened in Japan. Paul Schrader’s film blends biography and staged fiction to examine how Yukio Mishima shaped his life, beliefs, and public image into a form of performance.
