I really like The Bedroom Witch’s darkwave/synthpop music. It makes me feel things.

The crumbs though

One day I’ll genuinely wonder if I didn’t imagine those things.

I think it depends if you’re in Australia.

Clockwise or counterclockwise?

Start small. Like, really small. Don’t listen to the elitism about programming languages. Make stuff, fuss about the details later. Godot’s cool. Love2D’s cool. Nobody gives a fuck if you used a scripting language or an enterprise grade engine or if you wrote it in assembly like some cybermonk. Balatro was nominated for goty and was written in a “simplistic” scripting language (Lua with Love2D).

Stop Killing Games is about online components, relevant or not to the core gameplay, requiring the presence of a company server and acting as a remote kill switch. It’s not about putting the burden of preservation on the studios, but of reasonable “preservability”.

The argument that actually preserving video games is easy because we have preserved other forms of media does not hold. Digital data is problematic to preserve because most physical supports have ridiculously low shelf life compared to, say, paper. Storing it on computers which age even faster isn’t any better. Furthermore we have lost to time countless works from other media, some critical. Fortunately this all has little to do with what Stop Killing Games is about.

It clawed too 💅

No more bugs… but lots of humans. Time to return to primordial form.

Cat girls & boys are very sensitive to noise because they have two sets of ears. So remember to always whisper the gentle words you have for them ;3

I’m really happy to live in 2025 because that means I don’t have to cope with how the climate will be in a century. If I could bring something back it would be pre-industrial climate.

I recalled differently so I looked it up. Here’s a video of a random person claiming their points. No code-in-box, just the console phoning Nintendo with cartridge inserted.

Nothing is stored to tie carts to hardware or accounts.

Do you remember the discontinued gold points program? For any brand new physical cartridge you could claim equivalent to 1% the game’s price. Obviously the points could only be claimed once, by a single account. This seems to point pretty strongly to carts being uniquely identifiable and to Nintendo’s ability of keeping track of usage.

I preferred the first one’s contemplative side, the slow pace, the aesthetics… but I’ve yet to meet someone who feels the same so yeah

Yakuza: Like a Dragon does this and I’m grateful.

When the game is such a precious labour of love, so obviously cared for, and constantly improved, that there’s no way the dev has any time left for gaming.

Both translation and subtitles have highly efficient tooling when in the hands of a professional. Translators nowadays use a mix and will build up a dynamic database as they go through a corpus that needs coherence. What’s bad in this instance is not the usage of some AI, but of a badly adapted AI and ultimately of mediocre results which gives an amateurish impression.
