One of the best fighting games ever made. I just wish I'd been able to experience it earlier in my life, as opposed to just last year.
I wanted to get it on Dreamcast back in the day but lacked the cash. What a world that would have been.
Still, I can play it now, and so can you!

I haven’t been this excited for a bubble to burst since I was a toddler.
MIT’s NANDA initiative found that 95% of generative AI deployments fail after interviewing 150 execs, surveying 350 workers, and analyzing 300 projects. The real “productivity gains” seem to come from layoffs and squeezing more work from fewer people not AI.
MIT report: 95% of generative AI pilots at companies are failing
There’s a stark difference in success rates between companies that purchase AI tools from vendors and those that build them internally.

"The Cheapest Muppet Movie Ever Made" which is still RIGHT THERE in the Henson Archives and is clever and hilarious.
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

This was my white whale for a long time, but the sourced audio sample during Xenogears' "Blazing Knights" boss fight track was taken from Christian Brando's manslaughter trial in 1990!

I just beat #Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, and that was a helluva game! It's almost shocking how much of a leap it is from the other GBA titles.
It's a game that truly steps out from behind Symphony's shadow and carves its own path. One of the best in the franchise, as far as I'm concerned.

Have we considered the possibility that the "67" meme is caused by Data sending information out of the time loop in an attempt to stop America from crashing into the USS Bozeman?

New from me: I talked to CDC staffers about the new vaccines and autism page. They said things like:
“The best way I can put it is it feels like we’re on a hijacked airplane.”
“I think people are starting to see that we can’t fulfill our mission here.”
