I made a video revisiting American McGee’s Alice to see if it still holds up today: youtu.be/93cI4f1Z1P0

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

I'm reading the Witcher books for the first time and realising how I know so little of Slavic mythology compared to the mythologies of Western Europe. It's interesting.

I want LiveJournal to make a return. Just need to buy it back from the Russians first though.

Just listened to @philsalv.bsky.social's interview with @saharkin.bsky.social and remembered being at the supermarket and hearing a little boy tell his mum he wanted to buy a Total Girl magazine because it had Nintendo characters on the cover. His mum said "No!" because, "that's for girls". Boo! :(

I don't understand when people accuse other people of posting things online for "seeking attention", as if that's a bad thing? We're social animals. It's natural and healthy for us to want to be seen.

Oh, Jared Kushner and the Saudis own the Ultima series now. That's depressing :(

I see this and submit for consideration: Street Fighter stage set in Melbourne's Stalactites Greek Restaurant. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gG3p...

There should be a Street Fighter stage set in Newtown, Sydney, Australia, with the the connection being that Sagat's Aussie cousin owns a Thai restaurant on King Street. That would be iconic.

I'm following a game programming tutorial that's a bit like this drawing tutorial. I was going so good initially, and then...

Mark Duval @markduval.bsky.social · Sep 5

I found the location on Google Maps of the Sydney, Australia stage in International Karate. It's 1 Olympic Dr Milsons Point, just at the northern end of the Harbour Bridge.

Mark Duval @markduval.bsky.social · Sep 4

That looks very good. 🤤

I've just been using VICE inside RetroArch on Steam.

Reminiscing on Threads with other millennials about the early days of the internet pre 2001 made me realise why older people on Facebook community groups get nostalgic for happy times they remember from last century.

I've been going back to physical films too. The local libraries are especially a treasure trove of discs to borrow.

Mark Duval @markduval.bsky.social · Aug 27

Thank you for the idea Kickstarter, but I'll think I'll try making some other games first. If you want to play my buggy Global Game Jam game however where you're a robot who has to deliver mail, then you can play it here: markduval.itch.io/going-postbot

My 80-year-old aunt told me she "got tired of streaming" and is borrowing DVDs from her library again.

So I checked it out and they have an amazing selection. Blu-rays too, from Criterion, Kino Lorber and other boutique labels.

Look you just have to make the cool weird shit that excites you. You must. In this world besieged by bland, scrubbed boring, computer slop, you must. Make the thing you’re embarrassed to make, the thing that feels “too much” because otherwise we get drowned in a sea of cowardly work made by a button

In the #pico8 tutorial I'm following, the bullets I fire currently don't move, but just stay on the screen, so you can draw things. Bug or feature?
