Jurassic Park computers in excruciating detail by @fabinou.bsky.social fabiensanglard.net/jurrasic_par...

hot take: we fucked up when we let computers get so important to society that developers had to stop putting easter eggs into software because they were seen as unprofessional and untrustworthy

This is totally fun. "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" (1991), Modern Trailer by Michael Edwards youtu.be/GMejQs5Q5_4

game devs: what are the myths that a lot of players of games think are true about making games that are completely untrue? If you could snap your fingers and they suddenly all knew the truth about it what would it be?

A sad day today. Thoughts go out to those affected, and those left behind. #idsoftware

PlayStation says new physical game discs end Jan 2028. For disabled gamers, that removes a key way to avoid the “disability tax” when a game isn’t accessible. PR/marketing/comms folks: please share; this needs to be seen.

Statement from VGHF director Frank Cifaldi on the discontinuation of physical PlayStation media, and the closure of the PS3 and PSP digital storefronts.

Today is a great day to point out that the Journeyman Project trilogy is available on GOG.com, right now, DRM-free: www.gog.com/en/game/jour...

(now would be a great time for gog & itch to boast about how they give you games without DRM and you can play them forever, just saying)

RIP Bobby Prince. His music legacy will live on, making inspired music for Commander Keen, Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM, countless others. A true legend. And such a nice man, great musician, wonderful, fun-loving man, nothing but happy memories of him. A loss to the world.

the real generational divide is whether bash.org was formative to you. gen z thinks we're the ones who didn't grow up online. i put on my robe and wizard hat.

I had to see this for myself and YES IT'S REAL And that insert shot of Shatner from "Star Trek II" is one of my favorite closeups ever. The shot preceding it is Shatner saying "KIRK. Admiral James T." with a sly smile on his face. The cutaway insert looks like he's sweating through a mugshot.

Do I have any engineers in my network at Valve who work on the Steamworks SDK for Mac? I’ve got an issue uploading Mac-specific content for which either there is no workaround (and therefore it’s a bug), or it’s very poorly documented. Really don’t want to have to buy a plane ticket to SEA again… 😩

Almost there ya'll! Excited about the future of gaming in... *squints*...um, 2027?

you probably never stopped to consider that some ABBA instrumentals work perfectly as a Castlevania soundtrack.

Michael Abrash was right. Those were the good old days.

Is John Ternus a gamer? 🤔

all the crew members have exited the vehicle, feeling well, and are even eating a little food.

An extremely funny thing about retro rereleases that use unlicensed emulators is that you are basically committing the exact same crime (using software outside of the terms of its license) that has you so scared of downloading roms in the first place but now someone has monetized it.

Violating an emulator's terms of use for your commercial product is really, really gross. That it's happened to endrift at least twice now is awful.

Okay, it's time for me to make my occasional rant. I don't like stirring the pot in communities but sometimes people pull stunts I can't endorse and have to advise others to exercise caution. I'll make this a thread so that if you want to disregard this it's pretty easy. Here we go... MacinCord

Autre truc, grâce à @blitter.bsky.social , un LaserDisc Apple avec un CD-ROM et de l'HyperCard ! Et j'ai même une coie du disque avec un Domesday !

dang, the final lost MST3K episode was JUST found at a garage sale, and now it's on YouTube for all to enjoy. watch and be astounded that a 38-year-old VHS recording held up so nicely: youtu.be/u_Z4hnagGLE?...

This is the best product review I’ve read: samhenri.gold/blog/2026031... It doesn’t matter if you’re interested in the MacBook Neo or not; this is the kind of essay that makes you think about the potential of technology and the joys of exploration.

Transfer Point is a point-and-click adventure game for Macintosh. It was made in World Builder and MacPaint, and it fits on an 800K floppy disk. It also has an egret. Coming soon for most web browsers, or as a download to play on your classic Mac. robotspacer.software/transfer-poi... #MARCHintosh

I think this is a great argument, beautifully constructed

its amazing how chatgpt knows everything about subjects I know nothing about, but is wrong like 40% of the time in things im an expert on. not going to think about this any further

You haven’t truly played Quake until you’ve played it on a Bandai Pippin at 5 frames per second. @vcfsocal.bsky.social #vcfsocal2026

Day one of VCF SoCal was a resounding success! Come visit me tomorrow for the second day of Mac hacks, featuring preproduction “Twiggy Mac” materials, music notation software, and Quake running on a Bandai Pippin. Hotel Fera in Anaheim, CA from 9-6. 😎

In Anaheim over Valentine’s Day weekend? Come by VCF SoCal at the Hotel Fera for the latest iteration of my “Mac Hacks” exhibit, and play with some very early Mac software that hasn’t seen the light of day in over 40 years. www.vcfsocal.com Here’s a little teaser:

“It’s a machine, Schroeder, it doesn’t get pissed off. It doesn’t get happy, it doesn’t get sad, it doesn’t laugh at your jokes, *it just runs programs.*” 😉

This is really not the point, but this is a rather funny way to learn that the ff in ffmpeg stands for fast forward

This has been going on since at least as far back as 2024. Eagle-eyed fans may notice that the banner for GoG’s The Journeyman Project: Pegasus Prime store page is set against an environment that can be found nowhere in the game, and looks suspiciously like something out of System Shock… 🤔

The hell I’m not! 🤓

Peter Cartwright, the creator of beloved classic Mac game Escape Velocity: Override, has died. He'd been working for years on a remaster called Cosmic Frontier with help from a fellow called Tom Hancocks, who vows to push through and finish the game in his memory. www.kickstarter.com/projects/cos...

*LMA Manager 2006* for PS2/Xbox expected you to call a pay-per-minute hotline to get "bonus codes" that were tied to your "unique ID." The hotline is gone, so are the cheats? No - I derived the RSA key that was used to generate them from the game data! 32bits.substack.com/p/under-the-...

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been dissolved, ending its 58 years as the primary funder for PBS, NPR and local TV and radio stations

I also enjoy that they renamed Remote Desktop to Windows App and the Windows App is available in the App Store for Mac where the tab title becomes "Windows App App - App Store" apps.apple.com/us/app/windo...
