When you've got a day of jumping barrels ahead of you, but your heart just isn't in it.

Random thought before I go to bed: Store employees smiling at customers, asking how they're doing, being all friendly... would make me shudder. I'm too European for this shit. Just be normal to me. And if *I* ask you something but your day sucks, say you don't know and I should ask someone else.

Much of my previous work history is in the service industry, and I actually enjoyed it sometimes. Sure, customers can be dicks, but they’re usually easy to diffuse. The problem was management. They think up the stupidest shit and insist it’s what the customers want. I just couldn’t deal.

In Super Mario Galaxy 2, the Wigglers on the Tall Trunk Galaxy slide are special slide-only Wigglers that literally cannot exist outside of it. If one of them is allowed to make it all the way up the slide, he will lose his head and become a singularity.

Suddenly thinking back on the game where an agency different than the one I was localizing it with came to me by sheer luck with a request to translate marketing assets and as reference, gave me an entire PDF full of character profiles the client just never deigned to give us for the game proper.

Gideon Zhi is a master at his very specific craft of hacking binary ROMs to change their scripts, Jiro Dreams of Sushi level shit and I am not exaggerating, we'd have a killer documentary to watch if we lived in a better world

In 1997 Steve Jobs returned to Apple and silently killed this unreleased version of Mac OS. It remained a mystery... until NOW! 💿 www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbIo...

A reminder: Despite being a 40-something veteran games journalist and regular in PC Gamer, printed globally, I do not have access to much of the Steam store, because they cannot prove that I am over 18. I could provide a drivers license, passport, birth certificate. I have talked to their staff.

IT IS RESURRECTED! www.youtube.com/watch?v=BilL... And then some, this is really more of an artistic tribute to the original Halikan industrial design with better materials and some fancy flair. Check it out, it's some of the best work by @polymatt.bsky.social yet!

For #RandomGameSaturday, a not so great photo but, from what I can tell, a fine adaption of the TCG at the time, and one of the system's vertical games -- Bandai's 2002 Digital Monster Card Game Ver. WonderSwan Color, for, well, the WSC~

Today's #RandomGameSaturday gives us one of my personal favourite Zelda games - Link's Awakening. This is probably my joint favourite alongside Majora's Mask. I think it's no coincidence that both of my favourites are slightly surreal and dreamlike.

This is the worst soldering job I've seen in a while. Good lord. 'F' to pay respects to this 1.6a OG XBox board. www.reddit.com/r/originalxb...

This is exactly what's been on my mind when people say AI has prevented a US recession. If perceived economic strength is predicated upon ONE industry's round-tripping, it seems more logical to exclude that industry to find the actual ground truth and that truth is grim. It's means vs. averages.

New video up! Just finished the massive project of restoring/rebuilding @lgr-yt.bsky.social’s destroyed Chaplet Halikan LA-30A. This was a big one 😅. Enjoy! youtu.be/BilLgXkR_Kw

"Forcing your ideology" is *definitely* not one of those red flag phrases, nope; we totally haven't seen this before from primarily right-wing run projects... Just more to be aware of from KPXC.

Good morning

We're socialized to constantly apologize for being too outwardly excited about things, but this world is so full of terror and misery that I'd rather see those bursts of light and passion shine through the cracks wherever you can find them.

I'm imagining traveling somewhere remote, spending my whole days outside doing bird fieldwork, and then in the evening in the cozy log cabin... just connecting online with this setup and chatting on IRC.

New article about the Wantame Card Scanner is live: https://shonumi.github.io/articles/art39.html This one details the inner workings of a Nintendo DS barcode scanner. It was used for a game called Wantame Doko Demo Style. It's one of the rare DS peripherals that send data as microphone input […]

GP Advance was a 3D GBA racing game in development at Italian studio Prograph in 2003. Marketed as having "Psx-level graphics", using an in-house engine, the game featured up to 45k polygons on screen, running smoothly. In the end, no publisher could be found and the game was cancelled.

Been improving my old "English mode enable hack" for Digimon Tamers Battle Spirit Ver 1.5 (what a mouthful!) for the WonderSwan Color a bit the last few days. I'm pretty positive I got all instances of the GPIO check remnants, fixed a bug in the original localization, tweaked some graphics, etc...

Senior illustrator, with 20 years of experience and a specialty in game art. I haven't been able to find a paying project for months. Can you help? Every share is appreciated.

No. And especially considering what I've seen some professional translators say on here ex. about MTPE as mentioned in the article, what that means for their livelihood, etc? A resounding FUCK NO.

Another night, another nightmare. Also didn't sleep well unrelated to that, but that's like a given these days it seems. Meh.

The company says it’s heartbreaking, they promise improvements, new guardrails. Anything but shutting it down. Suicide is just a metric in their ongoing beta test. Sam Altman and everyone like him should be in fucking jail.

If you're wondering how this will go Square Enix handed off their mobile Octopath game to NetEase who immediately started using ChatGPT to translate everything resulting in text like this. When players complained they started asking fans to fix their translations in exchange for in-game currency

You don't need me to tell you this is yet more good money being burned after bad. But as someone who's worked with that QA team, I'll say they're unsung heroes who truly play a huge role in maintaining SE's reputation for high quality locs and to attempt to replace them with AI is deeply insulting.

ワープわくわく!!

I have scanned and uploaded the extremely rare Nintendo company guide from 2000: archive.org/details/nint... This is my first attempt at archiving my collection so I expect the quality will improve as my process does

God, my C is reeeeeeally rusty... but here, have an emulated WonderSwan Color, err...fading from black to green, and black to green, and black to green...over and over. ... hey, it's something, leave my high-level C#-using self alone! 😅
