this junkballing Czech electrician is a folk hero in Japan for striking out Ohtani in the last WBC (stopped for photos/autographs etc) but he's retiring after this bc Czech league ball doesn't pay the bills. I love the way he took in in this one last surreal moment before going back to normalcy

I cannot emphasize enough that these people are being laid off for failing to do things that are literally impossible

"This probably sounds like nightmare fuel to many, but to wealthy VCs and AI and crypto entrepreneurs it’s the next gold rush." is the quote of our time

yes i assume all the japanese fans of the japanese books and games that are always avaliable in japan are fine with current distribution models. for true balance in this discourse we must bring in the patron saint of jp wrpg fans

I have been occasionally checking in on the developments with vulkan and Nvidia's drivers, and they seem to be close to eliminating the gaming performance gap on Linux entirely. Couldn't be more perfectly timed!

BREAKING: We've freed Cookie. Following an investigation by VGHF, Ukie and Web Capio have suspended DMCA takedowns for Cookie's Bustle on behalf of Graceware, SL. More info:

Lebanon has ~300k Palestinians refugees, the descendants of Palestinians that fled the Nabka in 1948. These people are locked in gated ghettos. They are not given work permits or citizenship. Half of these people are children born in the camps to parents born in those camps. And now this.

Give this proper sim physics, and I'm 100% down.

"AI" is a program of rooting out every little tiny bit of light in your life and extinguishing it bsky.app/profile/wsst...

On top of all the reporting that this war of aggression was planned well in advance, it seems that the reporting also indicates that the US political leadership are quite literally too stupid to understand basic diplomacy. I mean literally not smart enough.

Felt sour after all the discourse about AI translation, and wanted to go and do something positive as a mostly retired human translator. So I've decided to resume my dropped Wild ARMs 2 retranslation. Just familiarising myself with the workflow. (No, I'm not actually putting Yu-Gi-Oh references in)

Happy 24th to Xenosaga Episode 01. Game still rips, btw. Replayed it a few years back.

I wonder why they call the US the Great Satan

I'll be honest, I think even if the segagaga team hadn't admitted to using machine translation people would have figured it out pretty fast based on what I saw in the first 15 mins of play

THIS IS WHAT SAM ALTMAN WANTS TO TAKE FROM YOU

BREAKING: We're suing Kansas for a law that invalidates transgender people's updated driver's licenses and authorizes anyone to sue anyone they suspect of being trans for using the "wrong" bathroom.

I go back and forth between enjoying high-res emulation and the faithful CRT look. I started playing Tales of Symphonia recently blinged out via emulation because I was so disappointed by the PC release. But games like FF7 benefit so much from a CRT that I can't imagine playing it any other way.

The attempt to lay the "XBox Everywhere" initiative entirely on the hands of Bond is so transparently contrived. That Verge article said in passing one time that the initiative came at Phil Spencer's direction, and then it spent the entire rest of the time blaming Bond for it.

One of my least favorite things around AI in video games is when these LLM idiots try to say that "AI has been in video games for decades," as if the routines that tell ghosts to chase Pac-Man are exactly the same as the chat bot claiming there are nine Rs in strawberry.

Ten years later... The Legend is Reborn. I loooove this figurine dungeon diorama box cover for Sorcerian Forever (1997), sequel to the original popular Japanese CRPG that was the fifth game of the Dragon Slayer series.

I'm happy for this but am still waiting for the Xenoblade 2 upgrade. Any day now, right??

People are saying the upcoming Star Wars racer will be a worthy successor, but I'm struggling to see the hype. "Speeding down the desert in on a weird sci-fi vehicle" isn't nearly as exciting as "speeding down city streets in a cool car," sorry.

DOG AT THE OLYMPICS FULL COMPETITION HIGHLIGHTS

Burnout 3 is underrated as one of the very, very best games of all time because you can show Burnout 3 footage to people two decades later and their reaction will still be "hell yeah, this rules. I wanna play this right now."

I was in high school when this hit. I excitedly shared it with all my friends at the time. They were very confused. Still slaps, too

this RAM crisis feels like it’s going to ruin consumer electronics over the next decade. Bloomberg reports that Sony is considering pushing the PS6 release to 2028 or even 2029 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

genuinely legendary resume. rest in peace o7
