the atomiswave board and cart also goes hard, to this day
A photo of SEGA’s Atomiswave arcade board system. A bunch of connectors and ports stick out of a small bright red plastic housing. There’s a mounting plate to screw it down to an arcade cabinet. It also has a cavity on the top with a multi-pin connector so a cartridge with a game can be seated and connected to the board without having to open up the housing. A close up shot of an Atomiswave cart inserted into the Atomiswave board housing. On top of the cart there’s a sticker that identifies the game as SNK PLAYMORE’S arcade version of Metal Slug 6, complete with a key art image of some of the game’s playable characters.

IANAL or a journalist. PP 35,36

‘Kim [used AI to] brainstorm ways to avoid paying the earnout. ChatGPT likewise advised that it would be "difficult to cancel
the earn-out."’

assoc’d footnote: Krafton did not produce the ChatGPT conversations and, when pressed, confirmed that they no longer exist
Page 36/67 of the brief: “earnout. Id. at 811-12. ChatGPT likewise advised that it would be "difficult to cancel the earn-out.". Id. at 812. But Kim was undeterred. The solution was obvious: push the early access release for Subnautica 2 outside the earnout window. That way, Krafton could avoid paying the earnout, but still profit from the game's eventual hit sales. But how? Krafton's first attempt came with the May 27, 2025 Milestone Review-a meeting between Krafton and Unknown Worlds leadership to discuss the game's planned August release. PTO 190-92. On May 21, Thiago Oliveira, Krafton's Studio Support and Production Management Director, informed Krafton publishing's Chris Wyatt that Krafton's "decision is already going to be made before the milestone review": "Jin [Oh] will be presenting it to CH tomorrow, and giving the opinion from Publishing that the release should be delayed at least until Ql 2026." JX734-KRAFTON05981979. One week later, on the day of Subnautica 2's final Milestone Review, Oliveira informed Wyatt that he believed Krafton was "trying to create excuses not to pay the earn outs, and Wyatt agreed. Id. at 983. But Krafton leadership had not told Unknown Worlds that Krafton had already decided to delay Subnautica 2. 3 Krafton did not produce the ChatGPT conversations and, when pressed, confirmed that they no longer exist” Page 35/67 of the brief “[s] 35 / 67 agreed with, but the problem is being a pushover even after that.... being a pushover really is an unpleasant feeling.

Park told Kim that "it seems to be highly likely that the car-out will still be paid if the sales goal is achieved regardless of the dismissal with cause." JX1188-KRAFTON06085811. Kim turned to artificial intelligence to help him brainstorm ways to avoid paying the earnout. Id. at 811-12. ChatGPT likewise advised that it would be "difficult to cancel the earn-out." Id. at 812.

oh boy a new 1200-page novel from mark z danielewski just dropped
Tom from the cartoon “Tom and Jerry” puts a shotgun through hole in the wall, the barrel curves back towards him and is aiming at his head. Tom looks very pleased, thinking he’s going to shoot Jerry, who’s presumed to be inside the wall.

Thanks for reading this far! In the spirit of the game, you’ve made it quite a distance, so here’s your Art Direction Delight:
Hell is Us screenshot. The game’s protagonist is standing in a cavern with carved sections of cave wall in front of him. A light shines down on a hulking carving of a man’s face. Pitons have been hammered into the stone face and jut out in all directions. This is an effigy of a false god that religious sect adherents must deface in a ritualistic initiation to prove their fervour.

Finished Hell Is Us last night. As a new IP this is great. I have so many good things to say about it but I think the best way I can sum it up is that this game is for explorers, first and foremost — and that’s a great thing. Playing this rewards anthropologist and archaeologist tendencies.
A screenshot from Hell Is Us (2025, Rogue Factor) which shows a misty exterior environment. A stone arch is near the player character in the foreground. Beyond lay a flooded marsh, flanked by large stone figures seemingly erupting from the earth but still half-buried at the waist.

A screenshot of an excerpt of a news article about the Toronto Blue Jays. TORONTO — A couple hours before Davis Schneider sent a high fastball over the wall for his 11th home run of the 2025 season, he ate a pre-game bowl of what his Toronto Blue Jays teammate Myles Straw calls "nasty soup." The ingredients were Reese's Pieces, blackberries, protein powder and chocolate milk, all stirred together. "I tell him all the time that you couldn't pay me a lot of money to eat what he eats," Straw says, crinkling his nose. "It's hard to watch."
