Adventure 751 verges close to a finale (hopefully!) as I finally reach the castle I have seen since the start of the game.

Also, a puzzle challenge for you, the readers.

Last time at All the Adventures I gave the story of Sumlock, reaching through the history of calculators, up to where they were publishing VIC-20 games. I have now finished the game and I explain the details, including one puzzle I can only describe as "ludicrous".

I’ve been in game dev for 26 years and I can’t remember any other time where a specific tech was being insistently and persistently pushed on devs as a group in the public sphere.

Why would it? Cui bono? Why would any given dev have an interest in other devs using tech they don’t have a stake in?
My conspiracy theory about genAI in games blowing up more and more by big companies is that they’ve all got a ton of investors insisting they use genAI tools otherwise they(investors) won’t be able to bankroll em anymore

ROUTINE es una de esas ballenas blancas que llevamos más de una década persiguiendo. Un videojuego que anunciamos cuando teníamos pelo en la cabeza.

Lo sorprendente es que no sólo ha salido doce años después, sino que HA SALIDO BUENO. Lean a @juanmabs.bsky.social

Christmas miracle - guy called trap15 just began working on a translation for Busin 0 for PS2, arguably the coolest Japanese Wizardry ever.

La jodida mentira del crecimiento infinito ha alcanzado un punto en el que solo puede crecer en beneficios a través de los recortes de personal porque obviamente no van a palmar pasta ellos. Los objetivos son irreales pero sin esos objetivos no habría inversión externa que es lo que quieren siempre
Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
