Having played "Arzette," I kind of want to see these two make a comeback.

Somewhere in the chords of an old game…
the kid you were is still there.

Hit play…and time folds.
The screen glow, the controller, the sense that magic was real.

Video game music doesn’t fade…it saves.
A checkpoint in your heart.
A melody that still knows the way back to your childhood 😊💙

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

I kept saying Switch's Joycons would be perfect for Rodea, but I guess nobody listened...

First they came for the immigrants...

And people ARE speaking out!
And people ARE chasing ICE out of their neighborhoods!
And people ARE trying to help the victimized!

Because we know how the rest of the paraphrasing goes.

Call me old-fashioned, but if @glitchprod.com put out a DVD or Blu-Ray of #TheAmazingDigitalCircus when it's all finished, I'd probably buy it.

When you hear about Big Tech companies lobbying the federal government to stifle AI regulation in the states, this is one reason why.

More Perfect Union @moreperfectunion.bsky.social · 3d

California has now banned algorithmic price fixing.

The state has outlawed the practice of landlords colluding to raise prices using rental software and AI.

This is a huge victory for renters in the biggest state in the country.

Oracle of the Obvious @oracleobvious.bsky.social · 3d

(Future tense)

A digital drawing combined with video game elements from Final Fantasy VI and Brave Exius.

The drawing is a trace of a meme screenshot from the Incredibles where Mr Incredible is pointing outside (at the viewer) while glaring at his shorter boss. Mr Incredible has been drawn as Locke Cole, and the boss as Edgar Figaro. In the background is a grassy battle backdrop from FFVI and a rotated, blurry, T-posing model of Terra.

The top has dialog that says "That man is getting MUGGED!!", and the bottom has the battle menu, with the commands:

Fight
Mug

Item

And the character names and their hit points.

TERRA 123
LOCKE 456
EDGAR 789
