Discord wants to know how you feel about AI. Go tell them: discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

i honestly wonder if the sycophantic nature of llms echos the sycophantic nature of the people the wealthy and powerful surround them with, and thats actually the operative toxin

Reopening of my shop 🎺 Fusion MVS to AES converters, ESL Blasters and most NeoGeo reproduction chips are back in stock furrtek.org/shop/ Everything original and designed on my own with love and tears as always, no resale or dropshipping crap !

Sitting a stewing in frustration isn't nearly as cathartic as just designing a poster. Let's see how often I remember that in 2026.

More than half of VC funding goes to AI companies that pay OpenAI and Anthropic, who then pay the hyperscalers, and at some point somebody is going to run out of money to pay somebody else. When that happens, the bubble bursts. www.wheresyoured.at/the-enshitti...

In light of recent Ai related nonsense in the creative industry, I wanted to present some easy-to-digest facts about Generative Ai

Me engatusó @eufrasiodev.bsky.social para su game jam y aquí va mi aportación. Too Many Croquetas es un endless runner para Game Boy Color creado en 72h que va de alienígenas preadolescentes, un ejército de abuelitas y comer hasta reventar. Mira, yo que sé. elrosso.itch.io/too-many-cro...

Have at least this much Iconoclasts stuff (not just Vita games) that I stupidly held on to for this long, but maybe there's still interested buyers or something, thatvwould be cool. We're thinking of ways!

Did you receive 8BitDo, Retro-Bit, or Switch Online controllers this holiday? Sweet, enjoy them! If you're looking for a nice way to store the controller and the dongle, you can find a variety of controller display stand styles and colors in my store. kytor.com/store/produc...

Was sick with the stomach flu from Sunday, finally feeling a bit better last night so late to post. My amazing wife and son gifted me a copy of Changeable Guardian Estique, a Lego Bumblebee brick head, and an ultrasonic cleaner 🤯 I must have really been good this year 😇

I’m surprised and appalled that TETRIS is okay with being associated with this deplorable product. Everyone pls pressure TETRIS to take the necessary steps to extract their license with a very public announcement - or TETRIS will be as dead as the future victims of this lunatic’s killer machines.

Going to need any fans of the sweeper stuff to show their support big time next year! Im going to be super annoying and be spamming you all with what we are doing, but we are gonna need to get as many eyes on this as possible to help make it a success! Get ready!

We need support for more projects like this! github.com/codykociemba...

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

Anyone interested in being a moderator of a retro gaming subreddit? I had inherited 100+ subreddits. DM me if interested. It's a decent amount of work for me to become an "active" moderator to add new mods, so serious replies only please. List of subreddits:

From top AI coding user globally to completely stop using it because it's so much harder to review AI code than write it myself. And they say all software developers jobs will be replaced by LLM. Life comes fast at you. 🤣

The Mega CD boots! Just to the sky image and never finishes. But it boots! So CPU must be good. Bad BIOS? Possibly, or bad traces maybe? Leaky caps? 95% sure they are 🙃 I should probably order a cap kit and replacement rubber for the CD to work on over the holidays. Sooo thrilled about this 😁

Appreciate this is aimed at a narrow audience but... On Jan 11 2026 I will be talking about electronic games from the 1980s at the Video Game History Museum in Zagreb, Croatia. Based on my book, From Coin-Ops to Table-Tops. Would love to take this same talk elsewhere... to UK museums?

Yesterday had the chance to play Death Came from Verminest again. Third different cab I've played on so far. This game kicks my butt so hard it's not even funny 😵 Thanks @locomalito.com @gryzor87.bsky.social

gotta go fast

Heads up to my Spanish friends: someone is sending spoofed SMS' pretending to be DHL requesting payment for a package. The url is dumb, but the site isn't horrible. Easy to miss as it gets bundled with legitimate messages. And ofc everyone is ordering stuff for Black Friday/early Christmas gifts 😳

As @rusty.todayintabs.com pointed out a while back, this is why tech bros need poststructuralism. Language is a tool for thought that we mistake for thought itself

So remember how I said I was done with my Mega Drive? I seem to have acquired a Japanese MegaCD. Advertised not working but boots to menu ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Seller was pretty far and would not ship, so a friend picked it up for me. Will get it in about a week and we'll see what the status is. Wish me luck!

It bears repeating. As many times as it takes. m.youtube.com/watch?v=hdXT...

Good morning fellow wood people (especially of a US persuasion). My friend, who recently moved back from VA, brought back this rocker with him. The design, from S Bent & Bros, is exquisite. I particularly like the armrests. Does anyone know anything about this manufacturer & style? #woodworking

My fellow Europeans, I'm once again asking you to write or call your EU representatives and tell them this is unacceptable. They're essentially selling our sensitive data to companies, effectively destroying our privacy and risking our digital well-being. Check the site! fightchatcontrol.eu

Salut ! Dites voir, pour un projet de setup de conventions/salons/festivals je recherche une rareté qu'es le Sony BVM-D9H5E (U ou J) avec le cadre/bezel 4:3. C'est un moniteur cathodique. Si vous avez des plans ou autre pour l'obtenir n'hésitez pas, merci 😊

I don’t know who needs to hear this (yes I do it’s everyone) but you’re allowed to have fun with your own existence. You can enjoy it, make it art, take the piss out of yourself, laugh at and enjoy and be absurd strange little creatures all you want. In fact I recommend it.

Good morning! AI is being force-fed to you by a handful of billionaires who will lose a bunch of money if they fail to convince you that you need it. You do not need it 🫶

"who radicalized you" Nothing radicalized me, I was born with basic empathy. The world decided that was radical.

About a year into owning this cute thing it stopps powering on 😥 I thought it would be the cheap wall wart PSU, but it gives 12V and doesn't drop when powering in the PC. Power button has 3.3V... Anyone have any ideas on what could be dead? Nothing burnt/cracked. No high temp chips anywhere 🤔 BIOS?

I am proud to be a knobhead

10月29日は、メガドライブの誕生日！ 1988年10月29日に「メガドライブ」は発売されました。 #メガドライブ #MEGADRIVE

Leaders are support, not rockstars, of their teams. They function as shields and as tractors to clear blockers and support their efforts under a collective vision. Take the blame but share the wins. Listening without action is worse than not listening, bc it makes people feel lied to.

I have a PVM-14L1 (sept 2004) that someone seemingly dropped, the entire body of the TV is ruined, but the tube *appears* to be in decent shape. I'm not really looking to run power through it and find out, but if anyone out there wants this tube, I will happily ship/hand it off to you

"Creating value" should mean building housing for the houseless. Feeding the hungry. Free healthcare for all. A quality education for every child. It should mean human rights are a guaranteed reality and not some nice sentiments on a fucking piece of paper.🧵

techtrenches.substack.com/p/the-great-... Companies are replacing junior positions with AI tools, but senior developers don't emerge from thin air. They grow from juniors Stop hiding behind abstractions. Every layer between your code and hardware can result in a potential 20-30% performance loss.

I’m l not gonna lie, these questions suck but you should let them know how and why. We all need to tell them that this is mostly a grift. It is obvious by the way the questions are framed that they don’t know.

Ireland has approved plans to permanently implement a basic income program that will support up to 2,200 artists. A cost-benefit analysis found that for every €1 invested, society receives €1.39 back. Officials from other countries are now expressing interest in the program.

Due to canceled plans, I was able to put a few hours into my long running project: Dagashiya candy cab. I initially miscalculated the tube height so I had to remove the supports and sand down the glue to move them lower. Also successfully cut the tube mount to the proper size/angle. Took 10 cuts 😵‍💫

Currently at: — only buy tech too old to have AI built in — painstakingly disable AI every time they add it to something that used to work perfectly well — if it can't be switched off, abandon the platform or tool — if there are no good alternatives, avoid the AI parts — patiently wait for the crash

Watching Jay, I realize I am simply exhausted by folks in positions of leadership who are driven to distraction by critique. If you can't function with critique and pushback, a leadership position is not for you. Leadership REQUIRES you to absorb and process the critique of stakeholders.

This is so true

Never mind his Wikipedia page, I just found out the OFFICIAL MODRETRO WEBSITE makes the connection between its' products and human suffering plain as day. There really are absolutely no excuses for people saying "I didn't know!"

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.
