ICYMI, I was able to finish a video that I was close to deleting because for two months, I was depressed and had writer's block. I guess sometimes publishing a video is its own reward. Come visit The Museum of Anything Goes, a capsule of the internet... before the internet??

Y'know there's plenty of things where this site seems to get more traction, but I'm fascinated that my posts about music get *far* more people chatting over on the fediverse. It semes legitimately hard to get people to care as much over here, not sure why.

KIRO 7 ran an article and two TV pieces on the theft of a box truck full of arcade PCBs, artwork, and machines from my workplace yesterday. If anyone in the Seattle area sees someone offloading a ton of CPS2/NAOMI/Neo Geo PCBs, stuff of that nature, please reach out. www.kiro7.com/news/local/g...

I see Polygon is trying to bait me into spreading their article via angry quote tweet but I won’t give in. Even though I’m legit annoyed at them calling a movie that’s out on DVD & on YouTube “lost media”

New game! Earth: a Game, a Country. I've started to make a game every two weeks for a different country. The first one, Earth: Russia is here. Keep tuned for the rest! kevindu.itch.io/russia

I really hope no one's reading these stupid commit messages

So what percentage of people back in the day realized “Zophar’s Domain” was a reference to something do you figure

Growing up in a time when “selling out” was the most shameful thing you could do and then being forced to live through the 2020s feels like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

423: fringe festival director. Opposed. Chamber of commerce shows B.C. punched above weight. Genuinely concerned about cuts. Told grants are safe but how can we be sure. Grants effectively declined in last 15 years. Concerned as a resident at cost of staff. Try not to be cynical, but feels like

Taito is searching for a working Crown 602 crane game. soranews24.com/2025/11/12/m... I have to note that this was not the first crane game in Japan, and the design itself was based on an Italian model (see @cpi.pinball.horse): earlyarcadesjapan.blogspot.com/2024/03/jagu...

Going through my tea drawer and realized I had one last little sample packet from Sebz… rip

Went to post an Amiga mod, only to discover that rather than an original it's a loving 1:1 recreation of this jungle track for Amiga hardware? So here's the original. beatsinspace.bandcamp.com/track/dance-...

btw if anyone wants to watch a cavalcade of hundreds of vancouver residents show up / call in to berate our mayor for his awful budget, here you go www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMmI...

arts festival president saying "half our grants go back to city in police costs" is beyond infuriating. the police run a protection racket. they are a literal mob, dude

Vancouver residents are having a huge, negative reaction to Mayor Ken Sim's proposed 2026 budget and alleged plans to eliminate the city's sustainbility department. More than 630 people registered to speak and the meetings will likely stretch into next week www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/13/n...

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

two days i pointed out sean was still moonlighting as a reply guy on twitter and he's responded with 13 hours of live-skying a budget meeting and he might be actually dying and if so this is on me

Oh my god, what a cool website. People are still making cool websites in this day and age... I'm so happy... kendalls.garden/coropata

I hate this guy. Downplaying *631* signing up to oppose the budget; clear he's just planning to do what he wants even if it's clear the city's against him. www.bowenislandundercurrent.com/economy-law-... #bcpoli #vanpoli

Fond memories of this scene being the bane of every SNES emulator in 1997

That’s right, I got the new Nintendo handheld everyone’s been talking about

Looking up half-remembered episodes of CODCO (CBC Halifax's early-90s sketch comedy show) for reasons,

I love seeing how curled-up oolong tea balls open up when steeping.

WE WON! After 42 days of striking we have a tentative agreement in hand that protects our existing 4 day work week, establishes a minimum salary, and adds protections against AI replacing jobs at our workplace!

Btw I think it’s pretty pathetic the Vancouver city clerk uses *twitter* to post updates about speaking order, so you can’t even check if you don’t have an account now. If not for @seanorr.bsky.social’s liveskeeting I’d have trouble keeping track.

I’m the 600-oddth speaker scheduled to call into today’s city meeting. They just called speaker 9. Maybe they’ll get to me by next week.

the decision to really just abandon moderation and let it rip suggests that this is what meta wants for its platform. this is the final, idealized form of the product

NOW: Staff presenting results of City Budget Survey. By a more than 4-to-1 margin residents prefer tax increases sufficient to maintain public services over the 0% option and service cuts. Zero mandate for Ken Sim's cuts. Watch live here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Gvb... #vanpoli #StopTheCuts

Speaking of Chrono Trigger, I lucked into a copy of the Brink of Time CD for $10 so I couldn’t resist getting it. Very, very influential album on a young Misty. One of the ones that helped me discover the bigger world of fusion jazz.

Made an incredible discovery for language learning: Chrono Trigger DS lets you access the options menu to change the langauge *mid-dialogue box*. If you're having trouble with a line you can double-check the official localization without even closing the dialogue box. Feels very rare.

Question for the retro PC people out there: does this "PC2MAC" tool look like one you've seen before? I'm trying to figure out if it's bespoke to the environment I got it from or if it's a pre-existing general purpose tool.

I wrote more words about how it feels to be a translator watching the games press report on AI and labor, coming from a field that's fought these battles for decades. It may look like I'm beating up on one outlet, but it's not about them; I've been trying to write this for me and my peers all year.

NEW: Over 400 people and counting have signed up to speak out on Ken Sim's brutal budget cuts. Join the fight back. Deadline is 5pm TODAY to get on the speakers' list. Sign up: vancouver.ca/your-governm... #vanpoli

Worth noting that because Sim brought forward his proposal for a property tax freeze requiring millions in cuts with just weeks left in the budget process, this is not up for public debate and is not outlined in the documents available to councillors when they vote on this

Say what you will about old vs new Apple but at least the iPod sock wasn’t $150

re: sales chart discourse - I don't think people know how easily manipulatable charts are these days, especially digital sales charts. Been seeing stories about people astroturfing stuff to the top of digital sales charts for years; it's even common withs the NYT bestseller list.

So for everyone flipping out like this is the end of the world: That's what AI people want you to think. No one actually likes or wants this, or at least there's no evidence of it yet. Please stop making this a big deal

I've been seeing this headline floating around. To be clear: 1) This is "No. 1" on a miniscule chart, The "Country Digital Song Sales" chart, as in people actually paying money to download country songs which is a tiny amount of people 2) The actual consumers are almost certainly fake
