The municipality of Zaragoza in Spain contains a "video game neighborhood" that began development in 2010 with a street called "Avenida de Súper Mario Bros" and has since expanded to 10 streets named after various video game franchises.

reminder that AI is bad and you are a bad person for using it yes, you, reading this post. you are enabling shit like this. fix your heart or die

oh fuck i forgot these were in a collection i know what im playing tonight

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas Everywhere you go 🎄 #DOSGaming

new (?) game (?) by me (kinda) just dropped please enjoy Eating Through The Week (2025), a web port of a DVD menu game from The Very Hungry Caterpillar And Other Stories (2006) based on an animated short (1993) based on a book (1969) by the late Eric Carle iznaut.itch.io/very-hungry-...

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.

anyone wanna play Magic with me i just got some new dice

thinking about my last IT job where the big boss wanted to enable AI on the ticketing system for one feature: automatically avoid reopening tickets where the customer replies with “thank you” “what if the email contains a follow up question after the thank you” i asked i received no answer

i miss my job

lorelei and the laser eyes (2024)

Anybody got a torrent. Apparently the only way to get journalism now is to pirate it

wishing all the fascists and genAI users a very “get punched into oblivion” tonight

Incidentally this is also why your boss and middle management tell you that discussing your salary is gauche and unprofessional, because if most of you learned about your salary gaps you might get mad as fuck at them. The only ones that benefit from decorum and professionalism are power brokers.

“I care too much about this broadcast to let it be dismantled without a fight.”

The Escapist accused Blue Prince developer Dogubomb of using generative AI. This is patently false and an utterly gross accusation. The story has since been amended, but the damage has been done. You can search out the current version if you want, but here’s the original. archive.ph/CKiOB

oops i'm watching One Piece and feeling like things are going to be okay

i am so thankful for One Piece

i don’t know if this scene works with no other context but i really cannot recommend the live action show enough as probably the most accessible entry point into One Piece to date this series truly is like, one of the most important things to me and i’m so thankful the live action does it justice

that’s right

unpopular opinion: you should be required to read 500 chapters of One Piece before you can run for office

nothing gets me going more than everyone you met along your journey joining forces against a common enemy e.g. Luffy breaking out of prison along with the underground queer resistance AND his past enemies that ostensibly are locked up bc of him

thinking about One Piece for no particular reason tonight

P.B. Slices (2001-circa 2004): Square "slices" of peanut butter, individually wrapped like Kraft singles. Meant to make it easier for kids to prepare a PB&J, or to get creative w/ snacks. Sold regionally at first, then saw a national release in '03.

what many do not realise is when it comes to video games, more than half the dipshits in charge don't see artists or writers or musicians as people in the first place so this "replace them with ai" thing is very intuitive to them. creative involvement was always an unfortunate drudgerous necessity

If you use generative AI to "explore ideas" you are mentally weaker than even the smallest child. If you feel that you need generative AI to "structure your thoughts" you lack the confidence of an 8 year old. If you feel shame about your diminished inner world, you should. You're bad at daydreaming

i think if you use genai for anything, even writing an email, you're both a moron and a huge baby, and i dont want to play your video game as a result. its not that hard!

watching the animated short and only just now realizing that the picnic basket choice on saturday isn’t canon they just name all the different foods in the book/animation. but they had to make it readable as a single choice in the game so all the stuff is in a picnic basket that’s game design baby

this is genius, like appending company names to your email address when you sign up to stuff but for real life. if anyone ever asks my deadname i will tell them their own name back to them to help me remember who is leaking what

tfw ur a CEO that pushes AI on your workers

tfw u just consumed all of human knowledge and all you can do is create slop

i don’t think anything makes me more depressed than thinking about how many ppl using AI still have jobs while the ones who actually WANT to do the work properly are unemployed

attn moms: just updated so you can install it as an “app” on your phone/tablet. load it once and it will work offline after that you’re welcome 💖

this is my old dishwasher sign

genAI is STOLEN WORK. Using genAI in *any* capacity is trafficking in stolen work, supporting the plunder. Period. These facts aren't even denied by the AI companies, they just find ways to make that plunder seem benevolent. Using their product enables that lie. Stop enabling the theft of our work.

a boardgame with hidden information. the information is never revealed to anyone.

now we’re talkin

finally, my beloved crime characters can be on the holiday card......... everyone look at Nifty with your eyes

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

It's the holidays, treat yourself! Draknek games are on sale across multiple platforms - spread a little cheer, why don't you? Steam Winter Sale: store.steampowered.com/publisher/dr... Playstation: www.draknek.org/playstation (Ends Dec 22nd!) Nintendo Switch: www.draknek.org/switch

fuck yeah, it’s up: the first deep-dive episode of our yearlong All Systems Brough series, on the trippy, seminal, inside-the-mainframe puzzlebox that is 868-HACK. a lively convo featuring @shawndoublea.bsky.social @colewehrle.bsky.social and @drewwehrle.bsky.social secretlives.games/all-systems-...

not sure when the move is happening now, most likely after christmas, and i need access to windows badly for a number of things i might have to free the beast

Reading @metallicaisrad.bsky.social's new book about Guitar Hero and Rock Band and apparently the games "doubled the world's need for drumsticks"
