I've been feeling like this was gonna be coming at any point with the AI bubble.
As the generated content becomes even more pronounced, proudly proclaiming "hey our this is Actually Different, hand crafted and one of a kind" would become the new marketing bullet (which it should!)

The PS1 port of Strider 2 came with a bonus disc with a port of Strider 1, except the labels got mixed up at the printing plant. So if you get lucky and find a disc only copy of the game labelled "Strider 1" you can save a hilarious amount of money if the seller doesn't know what they have
i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago
so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

My local library finally ordered a copy of Expedition 33 so maybe I'll fast track playing that when my hold comes in, esp if it's over the holiday

I've never been a huge fan of clothes shopping at Costco cuz the menswear tends to be pretty conservative and dull. I remember seeing a pair of shoes like this and trying them on and immediately realized they were the most "I don't want to think about dressing myself" shoes ever

Microsoft missed that the entire point of powerpoint parties is the human touch of making the most chaotic slides with the most unhinged stock photos you can find. no computer will ever be able to tap into that on its own
Microsoft is so fucking desperate for anyone to give a shit about copilot.
![Tip of the month
Copilot + PowerPoint = Party mode activated
Just say, “Create a presentation about [your topic] hot takes” (maybe “pumpkin pie versus pecan”). Copilot whips up stylish slides with vibrant images so you can focus on winning the pie debate.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mls6ncpewotdpeacozk7lmdz/bafkreiav4csjpwmrealjcxwgx554gtws2kazyqhj7fr7x4xb3d3rukb2ua@jpeg)
