This reader top 100 from @rockpapershotgun.bsky.social is STUNNING. www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-rps-100-... I cannot believe what a superb selection has come out, barely touched by recency bias (Clair Obscur will be gone next year, but that's about it). That site still has great readers!

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have shown Alzheimer’s disease can be REVERSED- not just prevented. Using a potent neuroprotective compound called P7C3-A20, they found RESTORING balance to a central cellular energy molecule (NAD+) not only PREVENTED disease features but REVERSED them, EVEN at late stages.

This is just going to always be my go-to response to this kind of thing anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

This video is so good, a true new standard. As someone who's tired of "game history" as people parroting trivia on Nintendo in the US, it's so refreshing to see how a tired topic can still be interesting when it's properly researched & contextualized. And also reminds us why any of this matters :)

RIP Claudia Cardinale. Much like Robert Redford, she was a rare case of a beautiful performer with a filmography full of bangers who did NOT become right-wing later in life. Here she is punching fascist Brigitte Bardot in the face in Les Pétroleuses (1971).

Anyone interested in reading a 7,000-word deep dive on the creation of the first Sega Rally Game? Well, you'll soon have your chance! It's going to be our next "Behind the Design" entry and should be up at the end of January!

With Bardot's passing, the only named individuals in Billy Joel's We Didn't Start The Fire that are still alive are Bob Dylan, Chubby Checker, and Bernie Goetz. The last one standing will claim The Prize.

This is the funniest shit I have ever seen. He kicks the dude in the beans and then mocks him

I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

Just try to contemplate that those who marched in protest of such murders occurring (in much greater numbers) are now being blamed by the Liberal Party for the Bondi Massacre.

say what you will about Andrew Tate, but his decision to not have a chin likely saved his life in that fight. Just one of those uppercuts would've killed Bruce Campbell.

I am so deeply sorry to be in the position to have to pull this lever again, but I just watched my car get towed away and I don't really know what else to do anymore. More details in the update & description, but if you're able to help out or share, we would be grateful beyond words.

interesting to have a memorial center for a guy who is alive but maybe they know something i don't

Keep going. Be meaner. Aim whatever lizard-brain impulse you have towards cruelty and violence in this direction.

Please do not purchase Luck be a Landlord on Xbox. I will be making a $10,000 donation to The Palestine Children's Relief Fund to (hopefully) help offset the revenue the game has generated for Microsoft.

We got all the hits: - purchased by private equity firm - hid a bunch of layoffs - invested a bunch of money in AI - tried to make that money back by ruining the best product it now owned

Many years ago I went on a search for the creator of the 1982 arcade game BurgerTime. I located him as part of my own research project that unfortunately was postponed. His name is Yuji Gondo. Here is a list of games designed by Mr. Gondo presented here for the first time as part of my research. A🧵

Since Polygon is leaving it out of the headline: Epic Games partnered with The Game Awards to put money into the pocket of a bigot who uses her wealth to further the genocide of trans people through lawsuits and legislation. Every 'free' game gives money directly to JKR, and they are complicit.

And how did that work out?

"What are you in for?" "Wanting to be able to complete more than one task a day"

i stand by this statement every year

Computers have like two USB-C ports and you’re supposed to use hubs (in your monitor for example) but then accessories don’t work reliably with the hubs, and the manufacturers rejoin you to plug the devices directly into the computer instead, which you’d absolutely do if it had more than two ports.

Yes it's true! Instead of the Game Awards I recommend watching my GDC lecture on the state of video game preservation. I put my entire ass into this and it would mean a lot if you watched. youtu.be/_00AjQNjgDk

We're doing a series of behind the scenes style devlogs where we discuss how and why we came upon certain systems in Demonschool. This first one is about our battle system. We want to be more transparent about our process, and this is one step toward that! www.youtube.com/watch?v=wN3p...
