Remembering Chien Shiung Wu on International Women's Day! Physicists thought the universe was perfectly symmetrical. By freezing radioactive atoms near absolute zero, Wu proved them wrong! She found nature is actually "left-handed," fundamentally shattering the Law of Parity! 🧲⚛️ #WomenInScience

Remembering Alice Ball on International Women's Day! At just 24, this brilliant chemist developed the first effective treatment for leprosy. Her 'Ball Method' made Chaulmoogra oil injectable, saving thousands of people from lifelong isolation and exile. 🧪💉 #WomenInScience

Thinking about low res pikachu.

Old photo from the PSM days. Debug PS2s were so temperamental that we had to give them names to reflect their personalities. They all had their own quirks and flaws and weird sounds they made. Some would run certain games, others wouldn't. Not pictured: Tom Cruise, the one that always worked.

Finally, the bug is back with a round of the Guinness.

Finally got round to writing about my favourite PlayStation One game case - the hot mess that is Epidemic... #PS1 #PSX #PlatStation1 #GameCollecting #RetroGames www.psxpaldb.com/blog/epidemi...

Watched Stargate (1994) and this mf is 100% the ref for Otacon in MGS: ✅ Same haircut and glasses ✅ Partnered with a spec ops military guy played by Kurt Russell (who played Snake Plissken,known inspiration for Solid Snake) ✅ Named "Hal Emmerich" same surname as Roland Emmerich, director of Stargate

Thoughts after replaying a couple of the SimCity games, and how a single, straightforward decision can change the entire feel of a game

"Piss artist formally known is Prince Andrew arrested" is the best I came up with and I'm surprised no one used it or made something better than my effort. www.ft.com/content/786c...

I did my own commentary on the Olympics live on Twitch in 2021 and within two hours of starting with a grand total of about 100 viewers my stream was cancelled after a complaint by the IOC, I had received a legal warning and was banned from streaming for 72 hours.

That's how you get zero stutters in your game. You're welcome, game industry. #uetips

www.psxpaldb.com/blog/psp_hol... I recently found some Platinum releases of Final Fantasy VIII and IX have the PSP hologram stuck on the case, so I had to get myself a copy! #PlayStation #PSX #RetroGaming #GameCollecting

Last chance to book tickets (in person or online) for my CCS lecture tomorrow on Compaq! I'll cover their rise to be IBM's biggest rival, and the extraordinary story of the industry rebellion they led to prevent IBM taking over the PC industry. www.computerconservationsociety.org/lectures/202...

Happy Friday 13th! To celebrate the success of the UK establishment's continued "clarity" on trans exclusion, I am delighted to share a major update to my blog post "What's wrong with the Cass Review?" The biggest change is an entirely new section on harms caused. ruthpearce.net/2024/04/16/w...

The entire British media fabricated a "scandal" at Tavistock and there were only 8 complaints over an entire decade. Yet the most actual common issues were about access to care and waiting lists. www.thepinknews.com/2026/02/11/n...

“I’ve reviewed over 50 sticky toffee puddings” is an incredibly powerful way to begin a video

Fuck Otis.

So I am running the London Lea Valley 50km in March and trying to raise some money for Step Forward - a youth centre in Tower Hamlets, Kiddo attends their LGBTQIA+ group and it's been such a brilliant and supportive space for them, which feels so important when trans youth are under constant attack.

The www.paxpaldb.com is tracking so many different release types for PS1 games! Still only a little over 62% complete so far, but have been redeveloping a lot of bits and pieces to improve the site... #ps1 #playstation #retrocollecting #psx

Newspapers will still print whatever the hell comes out of this idiots mouth because the big $$$ are involved. Why yes, let's put data centers - that have high cooling requirements - into space where it's really difficult to cool things without massive heavy radiators...

vholume's environment design is kind of incredible.

I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself! bluesky-map.theo.io I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

Introducing the “AI-BOROS”: the few companies at the ‘top’ of the economy handing each other billions of (debt-ridden) dollars for a product that both doesn’t exist AND doesn’t make any money. and we ALL get to go broke when it inevitably implodes ha ha i love it here!!! youtu.be/ifyaI4TOsDM?...

Guess what? Umbrellas! Actually, NPCs can now hold any type of item in either hand. Umbrellas are just the first thing I gave them. #indiegame #gamedev #procgen

(seen a bunch of people sharing this/talking in general about how "normal" Mamdani is but imo this doesn't show a normal person, but an *exceptionally* skilled communicator - a normal person wouldn't react like that to having a speech interrupted by a child! give him his due!)

500 years of Frasier repeats on C4 and only just noticed that the delivery man who brings in Martin's chair in the first episode is the same guy who takes it away in the finale.

made a big decision today: gonna start dressing like Peter O'Toole in Troy. hot King Priam summer is nigh.

Reminded to post this by @stephpaton.bsky.social Sarwar showing his arse, again. (From channel four news)

It happened. The future of Scotland's #videogames sector was debated in the Scottish Parliament yesterday. Watch along. You'll be amazed at the depth and insight of some of the MSPs. We have real allies across the chamber: scottishgames.net/2026/02/04/l...

One of my absolute favorite genre of older game is "barely holding together bleeding edge technology" and Vertexter always scratches that itch when I see it. Just such a bizarre thing to (barely) exist.

Incredible article for a newspaper with the initials SMH to publish

what happened to that www.jmail.world site? Seems like it's been taken down - flagged as malware...

Throwing another piece of lived experience into the current production discourse: you would be SHOCKED how little people talk to each other. Like, even in small teams. It beggars belief how poor communication is between people working on a shared project without someone there to encourage it.
