No 555 today, but I still spent a good chunk of time over coffee trying for one this morning. Nice to start the week with a little Lumines. :)

It will never stop being funny to me that the street fighter subreddit has a much better, well reasoned ai policy vis a vis literally all universities.

A busy day meant some late-night Lumines, but I still got my Quick Burst in for the day:

Here's a little bit of Lumines Quick Burst for Saturday. 531 was the best I got while sipping down my coffee this morning:

Happy Friday, y'all. ☕️ Here's today's clip from the Lumines & coffee portion of my morning:

This doesn't happen often, but I got 555 first try this morning! Getting there usually takes me quite a few tries. I bet Goldfish Tango's slower metronome speed helped a bit with this. :)

Lumines and coffee time :)

It's such a relief using Kagi and not having Amazon at the top of the search results shilling me stuff.

More Lumines & coffee — 538 was my best today!

Today's Lumines & coffee Quick Burst score. Chameleon Groove is a faster level, so I find it much tougher to get a score up over 500 before the burst's metronome-clears run out.

Lumines got pushed to after this morning's coffee, but I'll be darned if this isn't one of the luckiest piece queues I've ever gotten for a burst; *eight* 4x4 blocks of the burst color. Insane!

More Lumines & coffee this morning. I bet I can still hop on and get the “555” later today, too…

Morning Lumines & coffee. Here’s the best I got inbetween sips:

Also from today, some of Lumines Arise’s “Quick Burst” mode: (sorry for no sound, tech difficulties…)

Today: Bugs, and the resulting Bug sword (a favorite of mine for years now) :)

There's a video game coming out which used generative AI to make assets but is also "protected by Denuvo" which is just such a perfect encapsulation of how intellectual property law works and who it is for

Monster Hunter Wilds confirmed to be in development for Switch 2.

sony doesn't need to do a State of Play, they already announced Lumines Arise last time. it's fine

You used to be able to google the time of the sunset, and Google would give you the exact time right on top every single time. Thankfully, with artificial intelligence, you can now ask Google what time the sun will set and it will conveniently tell you "I don't know."

it is sort of grimly funny to watch google commit suicide by turning search into slop. unfortunately, google will be taking most of the open web with it

Hey Sektori community! I made a cross-platform leaderboard site that shows the top 10 scores from each platform's leaderboards. If you're chasing global high scores, I hope this helps! sektori.electrotuned.com #sektori

Okay I need you all to go and pick up Sektori (by @gimblll.com) right now. I've been playing it for the last two hours straight and I do not say this lightly: it might even be better than Geometry Wars 2? It has bits of GW2, Nova Drift, Thumper, Waves 2, and Jeff Minter and it's *incredible*

Yes, this is Sektori on Switch 2 now.

Great thread.

Hovercraft is how I always wanted to share my slides. So I made it. It’s a virtual camera for macOS. No more disembodied voice. No more “can you see my screen?” Just me, tossing around my windows like it’s 2027. sandwich.vision/hovercraft

"The Switch is so old," you all said. "I need better graphics," you demanded. "Wah wah," you cried. And now, you sit here before Slippy Toad, the slippiest he's ever been, slippier than a fucking banana peel under a kart wheel, all thanks to the raw power of the Nintendo Switch 2—and you reject him?
