I need to tell these kids discussing AI on the train to Prague that I am on VACATION from SF and that I need them to kindly shut the fuck up.

Take it from the @retronauts.bsky.social crew — having a good editor is essential! Hire me for your project and/or pick up @nadiaoxford.bsky.social's book from @retrogamebooks.com!

It's like they made a new Resident Evil game, but instead of a game, it's a movie. Here for it.

Did they…reference the frustratingly common mistransformed chest of the original Armada Jetfire?

At the 102:30 mark @nadiaoxford.bsky.social talks about her new book and the writing process. retrogamebooks.com/products/fro...

I continue to be head over heels for the Missing Link line.

Philip’s cover for From Pixels to Prose (pre-order now!) is 🔥! Here’s how he personalized it:

And here is the official social media thing for my book! Thanks to all of you who’ve pre-ordered so far! Don’t forget there’s an ebook version too, which is a good option in this age of [vicious static shrieking]

Pre-order Nadia's book! It's a touching, funny memoir, and it was my biggest project yet as an editor. Seeing my name associated with people whose work I've followed and admired for years (@nadiaoxford.bsky.social and @jparish.bsky.social) in the credits is surreal!

Being chosen as the kaiju-fighting human partner for a digital entity would fix me.

I love Spychangers and I’m delighted to have a rare item from my collection featured on the wiki.

Deeply upsetting that Segagaga of all games was subjected to an AI translation. This shit sucks.

I wish I could be a cool kid and say I knew about this game already, but I did not, and I'm pretty mad about it. I could've been playing it all this time????

the 3D cartoon robot who turns into a dinosaur and his name is dinobot has one of the greatest character arcs in any piece of media ever

So excited to see @nadiaoxford.bsky.social ‘s book nearing closer to release! I worked with Nadia as her editor on this and I can tell you it’s as funny and touching as you’d expect.

This is a very fun and cool deep dive. I feel very lucky to have been a Sega Channel subscriber pretty much throughout its availability in Northern California. Such a cool service. That menu is powerfully nostalgic.

Well so far I’m a big-time hater of the open desert bike stuff in Metroid Prime 4.

Transformers friends: I am but one Spychanger away from finishing my collection. Do you have a Jusco Ox to sell me? Please reach out if you do, or can introduce me to someone who does!

I asked Microsoft PR about this—specially the DHS using Halo IP to recruit for ICE—and the company declined to comment.

Getting a car to Mississippi Ave in Portland: “Did anyone warn you about this area?” Us: “????” Driver: “There’s a lot of political extremism there.”

They are called writers

Hey everyone! I've put a new composition reel together in hopes of better displaying a range of things I have done/can do with music for video games. I'm always open to new projects, so please feel free to contact me if you're interested in working together! ^_^ 🌐 satellitesound.net 🌐 elmore.design

Happy 40th birthday Super Mario Bros

lol, lmao

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

there are so many great things about generative AI! here are some of my favorites <3

Superior tech.

hell yeah new york

And you know what the talking heads seem to rarely use 'violent' to describe? The systemic destruction of families through ICE detentions and deportations. Breaking a window is framed *primarily* as violence, but taking a grandparent away from their kids or sending someone to a work camp isn't.

Mario Kart World is the best 3D Sonic game.

Decided to check out Expedition 33 to see what the hype was about, entered a fugue state, and a week later I had the platinum. I'm not even a trophy guy. I dunno if I'm gonna call it GOTY or anything, but it's the closest I've ever gotten to recapturing the feeling of the JRPGs of my youth.

In my low points, I try to be more like a friend and former colleague of mine who doesn't really even think about whether people like him or not. He's also the most likable person I've ever met, which makes it a hard comparison. But I try! Maybe if I try hard enough I'll be as likable too.

At no point during the existence of PlayStation Stars did I understand what it was or what it did for me.

Since the term AI has been poisoned by generative world-burning stuff, we're going to have to go back to calling video game AI routines "the computer." I couldn't beat the final boss because the computer was being cheap, etc.

we've witnessed nearly two years of livestreamed genocide and these ghouls want us to forget how they stood by and allowed it to happen. don't give them a moment's peace when they start making their little "solidarity" statements and try to retcon their own place in history.

Wtf is a pope

Was stickering up a reissue Stepper, and was stymied by sticker #7 — the instructions vaguely point to the back of the car, but nothing is highlighted. The sticker is split it two, with a slight curve to it, which implies the rear windows to match the one on the front, but the shape isn't right...

One of the better parts of being an adult is that nobody can tell you “no” because you’ve “already got Optimus Prime at home.” They’re different robots, MOM.

Sorry if you’ve not followed me for Transformers content, as the last two posts will be totally incomprehensible to you.

There’s a lot to like about the Haslab Omega Prime! These fake part shenanigans are not it, though. The original’s waist was formed by Magnus’ chest, but here they are two separate pieces just so they can be slightly different shapes in each mode, even though they end up in basically the same place.

the only “AI” that I want to hear about about is Alien Isolation
