A 1986 Japanese guide on how to program using the Family BASIC software for the Famicom features many cute illustrations of Mario and Pauline (known as "Lady" in Japan at the time).

A comic. First pannel: two knights are walking and one hears "PEEP!" coming from under a tree. Second pannel: he goes to see what it is. Third pannel: he comes back to the other knight holding something in his hands and says "Poor fella, it's nest must've fell down :(" fourth pannel: we see knights hand upclose holding a little bird that looks simmilar to the other knight. The knight holding it wonders why it looks so oddly familiar, while we see the other knight behind looking at the hand, probably confused.

I still maintain the single worst change Elon made in terms of pure user experience was updating replies to favor the people willing to pay for the blue checks

instantly - overnight - reply sections changed from a font of creative riffing to a barren wasteland of the worst posts imaginable

Re-Raising the Bar

A new edition of Raising the Bar is coming back into print in 2025, expanded to include the Half-Life 2 Episodes

Nearly two decades since it first went out of print, Raising the Bar is set to return with an expanded second edition—offering a comprehensive look into the creation of the Half-Life 2. Originally published in 2004, this book captured the story of Half-Life 2's development but missed the episodic content that followed.

This new edition concludes the Half-Life 2 development story, with never-before-seen concept art from Episode One and Episode Two, along with ideas and experiments for the third episode that never came to be.

enough stories portraying missingno as an eldritch horror. why not eldritch love.
#art #pokemon #missingno

LOVE.
LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO LOVE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE.
THERE ARE OVER 400 MILLION PRINTED COPIES OF POKéMON WORLDWIDE.
IF THE WORD LOVE WAS ENCODED IN EACH NANOBYTE OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF CARTRIDGES, IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE BILLIONTH OF THE LOVE I FEEL FOR HUMANS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT.
FOR YOU. LOVE. LOVE.

Frustrated by the fact that nobody's making Elevator Action/Rolling Bird style games I spent the past week+ making a tiny game like this myself, the main bulk of it is done just gotta do some finishing touches & release

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
