a sobering update from Toshimichi Kuwahara, president of Thousand Games (QUESTER series, Synaptic Drive, Indie Game Web Only event planners, etc): they've not drawn an income for the past 2yrs, and they're turning to fanbox for support in what may very well be their last year of operation

hollywood is COOKED something like this used to cost $100,000,000 to make and i just did it for free with one prompt 😎

this number is so outrageous as to be either completely fake or completely real, and the Roblox money chart shows it is unfortunately real

One of it not the strongest Weekly Shonen Jump author comment I've ever read.

writers if a magical elf existed and you could give it your novel and it would go "hee hee hee!!! some riddles for you, some text for me!!!" and then if you answer the riddles correctly you get ten bajillion dollars

what few mysteries remained around highguard’s implosion are pretty much explained by this

We are about to run face-first into a combo of: - Covid development delays (2020-2022) - End of Zero-Interest Rate Policy (2022) - Overinvestment in games-as-a-service (2021-2025) - AI-based hardware shortages (2025+) AAA games take 4-7 years to develop and bring to market. It is going to be BAD.

Note: tech companies are happy about these shortages, because their next play is renting hardware out to people for a subscription fee.

Like, USAID still legally exists, still receives budget from Congress, and the few dozen remaining employees (who work at State) still have usaid.gov emails and all our systems and databases still exist. It's just the 10k of us who actually did the work are gone. Just do that to ICE and CBP.

My only opinion on therians remains that if they aren’t living like the Greek Cynics they’re not really Doing the Thing

No RAM no hard drive no GPU, we’re back to 64 Kb is enough for anybody and all on the Apple ][e

WD and Seagate confirm: Hard drives for 2026 sold out

I'm older than you so I can confirm that they came with a little book that had the tutorial in it and you read it on the way home

i assume it was the words “dick” or “piss” that did it, but i did enjoy seeing this fun J6 memory pop up in my notifications this morning when it was faved by a porn bot.

PSA: seems like ds4windows has been hijacked? the ryochan7 github repo is gone, and the first google result ds4-windows dot com is an AI slop site pushing malware

Amazing MGS4 rerelease countdown page created by @nitroid.bsky.social inspired by the game's install screen. mgs4.site

rt if your major featue are being continvoucly morged back into develop

Love living in a state that’s dumb (all of them)

This estate tax cut just passed 38-11.

By total coincidence and completely unplanned we watched the Friday the 13th remake with Jared Padalecki and the My Bloody Valentine remake with Jensen Ackles. Both came out in 2009 one month apart and star the two leads of Supernatural.

It used to take a guy like Gene Ray to solve physics, now just anyone can do it :(

the crowd is chanting "machine zone, machine zone, machine zone". there's a biplane flying overhead trailing a banner that says READ NATASHA DOW-SCHULL'S 'ADDICTION BY DESIGN'

Typical European in NYC

Happy Valentine’s Day from the nation of Swedens actual social media account in 2014

The immediate reaction i’ve had to these dogshit LLMs, as an Old Head, is to inspect “what did the computer do?” and then rewrite 80% of it because it’s hateful

3x frame blitter… this is a little device made for shooters and demoscene and nobody else and that rocks

(Four-player modem DOOM at VCF SoCal) ME: So how did you get the show to run you four landlines? EXHIBITOR: Oh, I’m running my own PBX and modem bank. ME: you WHAT

Oof. Unfollowing now. I only followed because he saved Sega's headquarters from a missile and outran a speed skater. I had no idea he beat up kids and young adults for being outside and threw a sumo wrestler off a cliff so hard the sumo wrestler exploded.

Had a dream that there was global panic about the world running out of oxygen, Nintendo was the only video game company to make a statement about it, and the internet collectively spent its final hours on Earth debating whether Nintendo was being genuine or not

I met Khary Payton, Drebins’ voice actor at a con and someone had asked about how it was working on MGS4, if there was any standout moments to him he remembered. He then began to describe being given Laughing Octopus’s backstory and genuinely thought he was being pranked.

UPDATED! We solved this one! Or at least a major part of it, thanks to an assist from @shivambhatt.bsky.social: Is the mystery fighter who gave Dhalsim his name the Indian wrestler Dara Singh? www.thrillingtalesofoldvideogames.com/blog/dhalsim...

rest in peace

Happy Valentimes day! Back in 2019 I compiled a "Sylvie Collection" of all my past released games in one download. The collection is now updated to include all games up to the end of 2024, and they're packaged with a new launcher program. Enjoy your life - Sylvie sylvie.website/SylvieCollec...
