Join musicians Laura McAndrew, Sara Tea, & Kyler Wilkins alongside media members Daniel Long (WEMU) & Lori Stratton (Pulp) in a rare conversation about the joys, challenges, & future of the Ann Arbor music scene. Tuesday, April 14 at 6 PM at the Downtown Library. 🎼 aadl.org/node/663994

Incidentally if you ever want an example of how ingrained a myth gets in reporting, the notion in the original article that the 1983 crash was caused by "low quality software" is absolute bunk that makes no sense if you think about it for more than 10 minutes but has been repeated since the 80s

We’re in a video game crash. You can’t look at 45K jobs lost, games in dev for 5-10 years shuttered in a week or a month, jacked prices on hardware to 30%+ vs launch, and component prices through the roof due to garbage SlopTech and tariffs and draw any different conclusion.

found some of that good ass hi-res 1999 shit. these are the pictures that would be on the wall at subway if subway were about computer

Do you think the cenobite shooting CDs in Hellraiser 3 kept upgrading the discs he was using as technology improved?

Unfortunately I have reached peak middle age and watch British murder mysteries on PBS now

they should remake Ocarina of Time and improve the graphics but by that I mean have it look like Virtual Hydlide www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1U1...

Can confirm you can listen to my favorite stations on this: WDET in Detroit, WPRB in Princeton, New Jersey and WCBN-FM in Ann Arbor, Michigan

Guy that says indie films will save the industry and really just means he likes A24 a lot

the 8 year old has become WarioWare pilled. She came across it while trying random stuff in the virtual library on Switch. It's all she plays now, while jumping around the room while playing because she gets so fired up

Hey yall - unfortunately the rest of the very, very talented wanderstop team was laid off today and the studio shuttered. I'm no longer in need of work, but please, hire these peeps in the thread below! They're all absurdly good at what they do.

Transfer Point is now available! It’s a point-and-click adventure game about regret, forgiveness, and email. It was made in World Builder, a Mac app from 1986. You can play it free in your web browser. InvisiClues are available if you need a hint! robotspacer.software/transfer-poi... #MARCHintosh

job simulator game but it's just all the tedious and weird bits like a customer asking if you have a film that doesn't exist and you have to clean the break room trash can because someone pooped in it??

This is zuck one month after going on Rogan podcast claiming he would never takedown content based on government requests ever again

Well well well, who's laughing at the $700 3DO now

Was confronted with the fact that someone decided to feature Virtue's Heaven on itch's front page, so I did something very rare: For the next week, it will be 20% off over there: mokka.itch.io/virtues-heaven

I think it’s long past time to abandon the idea what we’ve seen from universities in the Trump era was a result of fear rather than a broad hegemonic consensus against liberal arts and the diversity associated with it.

I love the movies #LastFourWatched

they discontinued the Mac Pro because Apple knows it's The Year of the Linux Desktop

Shot; chaser

the only time I want to hear "Cryo run" and "Marathon" is when someone is doing a marathon session of Cryo's games Lost Eden, Commander Blood, and Dune

There’s a zine fest this Saturday in Ypsilanti at the freighthouse cityofypsilanti.com/Calendar.asp...

I think using AI to code should be mocked just as much as using it to make art or music 🤷

Obviously HBO should have given a multi-season show instead to the other children’s book favorite The Stinky Cheese Man

Because it came up on Game Mess this mornings: During the making of Uru, Cyan did something called Triple Thursdays, where they ate triple foods (It has since been corrected that they usually did triple-shot mocha rather than triple-scoop ice cream)

Over halfway through the Cole City campaign, we're not quite where I'd like to be. If you're up for a character-driven story of hope and rebellion styled after early 20th century labor movements but with giant robots, give a look and tell your friends! www.kickstarter.com/projects/fas... #comics

Been toying with the idea of writing a blog dedicated to the Atari ST for some time... gonna give it a go, first post up (done very little with layout etc so far): atari-st-tribute.blogspot.com #AtariST

Begging for someone who is petty enough to collect all the articles, statements, etc that Sora is the future and will destroy Hollywood so I can make fun of them

if you liked all the scenes in Myst III: Exile where Brad Dourif talks directly to you about how he misses his home on another world, then you will LOVE the 2005 Werner Herzog film The Wild Blue Yonder www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5wH...

Fantastic news! 🦋🦋 Link to full report in 🧵 www.worldwildlife.org/news/stories...

This was SUCH a fun time. Ben and Jess are wonderful hosts and the two hours just flew by. We chat about the early days of the AGS community, my shifting to (and from) the casual games space, the hell of getting Primordia through Greenlight, and why writing a time travel game will break your brain.

it's good this gets to wrap up on its own terms but it would have been funnier if they kept going, with the same cast, and all that characters continuing to age forever and ever
