Coolest thread I've seen lately. :)

another thread of assets i recognize but this time it's from Lumines and Meteos

Been enjoying starting some recent mornings with coffee & a session of Lumines. Quite satisfying to feel my brain getting just a little bit better at droppin' blocks. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z74h...

What I'm listening to today: "jazz jungle mix at Japanese rice field", Takuya Nakamura The composer of Virtua Fighter and Lumines goes out in an actual rice field with a Pioneer deck and trumpet and spins D&B with occasional trumpet solos. Unbelievably charming www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVvr...

The countdown begins! Just seven days until Lumines Arise launches! カウントダウン開始！『Lumines Arise』発売まであと7日！ #LuminesArise #ルミネス lumines.game

Really quite excited for Lumines Arise's launch (just under 2 weeks now)! One of the few games I've been actively looking forward to, and I'm super grateful/delighted with how well the demo runs on macOS using the Crossover app. Some footage of that here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBxx...

shoutout to the ayn thor for allowing me to discover entirely new levels of depraved bullshit to test out

Valve being privately owned and not publicly traded is 100% the reason they haven't shat themselves fatally. Every publicly traded company ends up shitting themselves to death to get more and more profit at the expense of existing. Like a tumor.

makes me weep to think of the gifts robbed from us because unaffordable housing has made it difficult for people to pursue their passions and hobbies

Humans of New York has taken over all of Grand Central Terminal for a huge art installation called Dear New York. “For the first time possibly ever, there is not a single ad to be seen in Grand Central Terminal.” [news.artnet.com]

Apparently someone made a fucking Umineko video featuring Giant Bomb

Anyway — Anamanaguchi has decided to break our 20 year silence as a band. The time in history is now. The time in our own lives is now. The dehumanizing machines of war, of poverty, of psycho-technological subjugation have won an ever-tightening grip over the entire world.

Finally had my first one, and… the Big Mac is McDonald’s worst burger.

I spent seven years writing a book on this and she just… said it in three succinct paragraphs to politico.

Yeah I’m a Gamer

t's amazing how this is from more than 20 years ago but very well could have been from today.

Longplay for Mac Launches with Powerful AI and Shortcuts Integration https://www.macstories.net/reviews/longplay-for-mac-launches-with-powerful-ai-and-shortcuts-integration/

Finally! After 3+ years of development, Longplay for Mac is shipping today. The journey from "let's try Catalyst" to "wait, stuttering playback?" to "updating the dock icon fixes it?!" was... quite something. I love the result though. My developer's commentary: adrian.schoenig.me/blog/2025/07...

The martial arts scenes in It’s A Wonderful Life were a key influence on The Matrix

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Do you wanna know the difference between a weak burger and a burger that has strength?

the PS4 almost did PS2 numbers and had multiple first party games over 10m sales and then sony blew it all up cause they thought they'd somehow have fifteen fortnites

Screw AI, I’m going to use MORE em-dashes & MORE “delve,” Emily Dickinson would want me to

Strawberry-peach Lacroix? Good. 👌🍑🍓

This short but sweet video about the many eras and people who defined Giant Bomb over the years is beautiful. Got me right in the feels www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVvU...

Giant Bomb <3 Thanks for everything, duders

I was thinking about this Joe and Tracy anecdote from the supply chain crisis on gummy bears. Things are probably going to get really weird in a few weeks in unexpected ways:

my most player-hating video game opinion is that cut content isn't full of secret mysteries and people are killing the conversation by insisting that data-mining is a good way to approach a narrative. when you're baking a cake, licking the batter off the spoon is a real pleasure, but it ain't cake.

YOU GUYS.
