New article from me in the New Socialist on how AI is the aesthetic of postmodern fascism.

Seeing a lot of "No Kings" protests groups using AI images lately

You aren't resisting fascism by using their tools

Be better than that

Finally! I’ve broken through the glass ceiling for old, white men hoping to work in animation.
Be sure to tune in. As I tell all my lovers, this might just be the best 20 seconds of your life.

Lads, lots of people still struggle to afford a PS5. Plenty of high profile games over the last few years have continued to launch as PS4 / PS5 dual releases. Yakuza Kiwami 3 is going to release on PS4 in 2026, a year before you're launching a console two generations forward. What are we doing here?

VGC @videogameschronicle.com · 18h

Both PS6 and the next Xbox are planned for a 2027 release, according to separate reports.

Happy Columbus Day! today we honor Christopher Columbus, the cinematic genius who brought us such timeless classics as Home Alone and Mrs. Doubtfire.

(and also the Harry Potter movies. but, hey. nobody's perfect.)

Dragon Quest, Ultima, and Parodius!

A tri-force of adventure for this issue of MSX FAN from 1988, whose covers remain some of my favourites.

Psst! You'll also receive information on some of Hydlide 3's secrets too. *whisper*

A scan of March 1988's issue of MSX FAN with three little figurines with anime-ey aesthetic, one wielding sword and shield and wearing a flight cap and goggles, the other a rapier and buckler, and a magic user with robe and staff.

Make the Democrats atone for the next 20 years.
This is not an extreme position. It is the ONLY WAY that the people living on this land will survive.
Not "compromise". Atone.
