The hero who disarmed one of the terrorists in Sydney turned out to be 43-year-old Ahmed al-Ahmed — a fruit shop owner and father of two.

He was shot twice and is currently in hospital. He is scheduled to undergo surgery.

He had no experience with weapons of any kind.

Using this to give a PSA: 3DS carts not being read are likely because of solder joints being stressed. It happens most often with Pokemon carts (usually Gen6/ORAS) but any game is susceptible

You can reflow and resuscitate them if you have the tools and know-how

I wrote a long article about Rieko Kodama, her career at Sega, the evolution of her company, the games she worked on (including some canceled games and/or games for which she is not credited), the status of women and working conditions in the video game industry, etc.

Illustration: a portrait of Rieko Kodama with some of the games she has worked on. The dominant colors are yellow, purple and red. Counterclockwise from top left: Rieko Kodama, Alis and Lutz from Phantasy Star, Sonic in a maze, Alex Kidd and his motorbike next to Flicky on a waterfront pier, Joe Musashi and his dog near the Statue of Liberty facing a skyline, the three playable characters from Golden Axe seen from behind on the edge of a cliff, and one of the flying ships from Skies of Arcadia.

Found some old photoshopped translations for one of the Kojima Tokimemo games while digging around my hard drive. I'm tellin' y'all, ya don't know what you're missing out on until this trilogy finally gets its day in English. Some of the folks who worked on MGS knew how to make world-class galge.
Tokimeki Memorial's Ayako looks at your character while resting her head on the back of her hand as you both sit in a burger joint in the second Tokimeki Memorial Drama Series game. You: I'm curious. How would you describe yourself when you were little? Ayako: When I was little? Well, you said it yourself. I was smaller than I am now.

My Cousin Vinny: Ace Attorney

Had to finally release this from my head
Vinny from "My Cousin Vinny" in Ace Attorney style. Dialog reads "Everything that guy said is bullshit" The Judge from "My Cousin Vinny" in Ace Attorney style. Dialog reads: "Are you on drugs?" Mr. Tipton from "My Cousin Vinny" in Ace Attorney style. Dialog reads: "I don't know, I'm a fast cook, I guess." Mona Lisa from "My Cousin Vinny" in Ace Attorney style. Dialog reads: "A little? You've been thrown in jail twice!"

Action for Australian folks:

register a concern about Collective Shout's wrongful listing as a charity, do so on the Australian Charity and Non-Profit Commission website

Collective shout's profile + ABN: www.acnc.gov.au/charity/char...

Raise a concern with the ACNC: www.acnc.gov.au/raise-concern
Message from a user called BBBen on discord: Collective Shout, who have been provoking this latest wave of trouble are registered as a charity in Australia, but their work seems to be purely as a political activist organisation generating moral panic. This is against the rules for registering as a charity. If any Australians (Aussies only, please! It's counter-productive for people from elsewhere to do this) want to register a concern about their wrongful listing as a charity, then you can do so on the Australian Charity and Non-Profit Commission website. Here's the relevant links. Collective shout's profile, including their ABN: https://www.acnc.gov.au/charity/charities/8f14b7df-39af-e811-a963-000d3ad24077/profile Raise a concern with the ACNC: https://www.acnc.gov.au/raise-concern You can also attach evidence, which would probably help, though any concern is a valid one to post. Just explain the situation and try to call attention to the fact that political lobbying is not charitable work. You can go into other relevant details if you wish. All of this only takes a minute.

Completely redefined my view of video games as an artistic and narrative medium as a kid. Also irreversibly ruined my sense of humour and connection to online culture. Thanks Toby.

with all due respect to the Bluesky community, I do really think that it really has to try and move out of the America-centric mindset that it has carried over from Twitter

by this I mean that you should be specifying whether something applies to mostly the US or not

Ultraman says: It's Wash Your Water Bottle Wednesday!

If you've forgotten for a while to give your water bottle a good scrub, today's the perfect day for a fresh start 💜
A drawing of a nalgene water bottle that is full of water, with Ultraman kaiju Gubila, Guesra, and Eleking swimming inside of it. In the upper right-hand corner of the composition is Ultraman pointing directly at the viewer. Underneath it says, "Ultraman says, 'It's was your water bottle Wednesday! You never know what monsters are growing in there!" A small watermark saying @bennygesserit appears next to the water bottle.

Out of all the random servers I've made over the years, all four of these appeared to be secretly inside every single one, even ones I haven't used in ages, with the exception of only one server.

Some of them are servers of only like 2-4 people as well.

I genuinely feel like my calling in life was to be a helpful video store clerk and I was simply born too late for that to happen.
