Highly recommend reading this story about a reporter casually finding out his wife is a world Tetris champion: archive.boston.com/news/globe/m...

Yet another screenshot from the unreleased DOS version of what became Laser Lords in CD-i. I wish I had the raw BBS archives to find out how these made it online, given how little coverage there is of the DOS version. Was the company promoting it on a local BBS? An individual dev?

just a non-spoilery bit from The Stolen Soirée that i like (grabbing some screenshots)

This Newfoundland and Labrador website is a thing of beauty. Looks like it hasn't been updated since 2000 nfld.com

LRT: the other thing that's been occurring to me lately is that so much of social media is deliberately unmoderated, maybe unmoderatable at commercial scale, and the extensive targeted harrassment we're seeing lately is probably the death knell of social media writ large if that doesn't change.

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

David Rosen, who helped create Sega and changed the coin-op industry forever, has passed away. www.replaymag.com/segas-dave-r... An absolute titan in video game history. May he rest in peace.

That said it *is* kind of funny that Polymarket was able to just start a twitter account called "News Wire" that badly summarizes actual news stories from real orgs and get people to treat them like a real breaking news source. I guess the bar for "is this real" is "are they just named The News"

Learning about, “Santa Claus”

That "unusual whales" account isn't a real news source, stop retweeting them into my feed already

ok here's a challenge: without looking it up, what is this ad, which is featured on the sleeve for an Australian computer magazine's cover disc, for?

Gun boat diplomacy is wrong, no matter who it deposes. Today it is Venezuela. Will it be Canada tomorrow? Greenland? Standing up for Venezuela's sovereignty is standing up for our own.

I would very much like to see a BC reporter follow up on this. Is the party's official position to support US-led regime change abroad? And if so, where else?

Here's my first good photo of the year and here are a few others: bcj.pics/photos/17674...

The US attack on Venezuela is neither an act of self defence nor does it have UN Security Council authorization. It is therefore totally illegal and a breach of the UN covenants the US has agreed to uphold as a Member State.

This is the fakest book cover I've ever seen in my life.

It's well past time for Canadian government officials to get off of X, @jameswsthomson.com writes. This latest — disgusting — incident is just one more reason.

2025 was many things, but most of all let's remember it as the year I finally found Crosscountry BC: cdrom.ca/games/cancon...

Unbeknownst to pretty much everyone, the first-person shooter "Vigilant Paradise" was released for Saturn in November 2025; AFAIK the developer never teased this on SegaXtreme or anywhere else so it's really quite astonishing! It's currently on sale for $7 on itch.io www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXw2...

Good news! defector.com/what-would-y...

One of my fave experiences is checking the Backloggd reviews for a game I'm playing and finding out everyone else thinks it's mid while I think it's great

If you're still feeling uninformed about trans folks & sports, but understand that past lack of understanding about trans healthcare let hate gain steam—ACLU lawyer @chasestrangio.bsky.social has a good Insta summary of how anti-trans arguments both mislead & more broadly threaten everyone's rights:

I am really curious why no one in the Winnipeg media has chosen to ask some really basic questions re: the firing of Todd Mondor at U of W. It's pretty clear to me this is going to blow up in the relatively near future, not sure why no one wants to get ahead of the curve.

ya gotta draw a damn lemon pig its new years baby!!

Kind of fascinated that this article goes into a lot of detail and yet doesn't mention, at all, that a copy of Tripitaka on CD has been held by an archive since the early 00s? Not publicly available, but... seems relevant when writing about preservation. www.polygon.com/features/602...

Final gamedev post of 2025. Some items you pick up in Dungeon Gals will allow a character to take a trip down memory lane, and reflect on the road that led them to where they are now. It's not always a happy road, so it's important to have warnings in place for those who may not expect it.

Jessica got me a Master System flashcart for Christmas; finally time to catch up on all the 8-bit Sonic I’ve missed.

I should *probably* not wade into someone else's mentions to tell someone off for being rude, but... it's tempting sometimes. So tempting.
