Listening to @jparish.bsky.social try to figure out how Master System's ALF could have been good, I'm reminded of this @vgapocalypse.bsky.social game pitch I made a few years ago. TL;DR -- Whole new concept. Reskin Reggie Jackson Baseball to bring Melmac's favorite sport, Bouillabaseball, to life.

I'm having a real hard time on level 47. Highest I've been able to get so far is 84%. I feel like I could nail it if I could lock the screen to keep it from scrolling.

if you say shit like "creators" instead of authors or writers or directors, and "content" instead of movies, books, series, etc..you shouldn't be able to say anything about art >i just don't like mozart's content get into the locker, freak

I never knew there was a BBC radio play of Neuromancer. This is really good. Very close to the book.

Against my better judgment, I watched the whole video and… yeah, I gotta agree. I was fully expecting a ChatGPT fluff piece, but it ended up being a masterful use of satire.

A very good friend of mine was on the Xbox team from 2000 until around 2003 and still has his development unit, and I am desperate for him to let me open it up and recap it. I worry a lot about any damage from leaked electrolyte there may be in it.

It's not my absolute favourite game of all time, but I think it's about as close to perfect as it gets. What video game do you consider perfect?

If you're a fan of the movie Sneakers, the late Robert Redford (RIP) or just geeky things, you can ssh into [email protected] and watch the movie in glorious 24-bit colour ANSI :) Enjoy!

we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there

This is what solidarity looks like!

It can't be good that all these time traveling historians are here.

Going down a research rabbithole unrelated to this post this afternoon and just learned that Working Designs was planning to launch a puzzle and strategy game-focused sub-label called Aneurysm in the mid-90's

An old study of Billie Holiday. Always thankful to Fallout and Bioshock for introducing me to Billie Holiday and other wonderful artists of that era. #pixelart #billieholiday

33 years ago this month, the movie Sneakers hit theaters. 🕵️‍♂️💻 The studio even shipped a floppy disk press kit that reporters had to "hack" into for bios & production materials. www.mentalfloss.com/article/5029... 💾 Explore this rare relic on the Internet Archive: archive.org/details/Snea...

Playing Batman: Revenge of the Joker was a mistake. I'll be seeing this face in my nightmares now. #retrogaming

It's true — I never did grow out of it.

The best part is that it comes with the world's tiniest violins, which you can use to play sad songs for people.

Around 25 years ago there was an MMO called Cosmic Rift which I played the hell out of. There'd previously been a similar game in the '90s—designed by the same person—called Subspace. Both games are VERY similar to Continuum, and in fact a clone of the Subspace client shares its name. Coincidence?

Seattle area folks, please keep an eye out. Our beloved local game store owner Maitreya (Game Gurus) has been missing since 12am. He is the one on the left in the photo, with the eyepatch.

Oh why the hell not? (In no particular order.) * Taxi * Secret Agent (what they called Danger Man when broadcast in the US) * The Greatest American Hero * The Jeffersons * The Rockford Files Honourable mention for Halt and Catch Fire, which has a banger of a theme, but I had to limit it to five.

microblogging platforms are for making little posts that later you go on your actual blog, your macroblog, and write a proper post about, to get it out of your system. y'all's problem is you don't have blogs so you're all clogged up. that's how you get cancer

are they gonna pull this off the shelves too and fire the writer or does that only happen when the writer is trans

I feel it is my responsibility as your mainstream comic book friend to further explain that what dc is doing to Gretchen is unprecedented They haven’t only cancelled the series, they are refunding the comics that are already created and recalling the issue that is already sold.

Today, we learn one of life's greatest mysteries... who was Chris Houlihan! youtu.be/SY00ri_a9y4?...

Wow, apparently NetZero's dialup service is still working.

Never became as popular as "ET Phone Home" did it

The acronym for the Senior Housing Authority Group will never not make me laugh.

Say what you will about the writing of Star Trek: Generations, the cinematography in it was great. John Alonzo knew what he was doing.

I love that I've noticed a lot of people who do vintage tech repairs on YouTube have discovered Meguiar's PlastX plastic polish I've been using it for years. Pretty sure I'm still on the same bottle I bought in like 2017

All I know is that it's only been a few hours and I'm already sick of Apple's ad blitz.

say what you will about the phantom menace, but they didn’t use AI

in a way aren't we all holding a barrel in the darkness

They finally updated Apache a few hours after Micah's public disclosure. That's better than never, but a developer who acts this way in response to vulnerability reports is not someone whose software anyone should feel comfortable using. And that's to say nothing of the app's false positive problem.

One of the coolest video game preservation stories I have ever covered arstechnica.com/gaming/2025/...

Eating a whole can of baked beans while the chorus to 'Piggy' repeats in my head.

I told @joshua.stealingheather.com, developer of @iceblock.app, that he was running a vulnerable version of Apache on his server. He ignored my vulnerability report and blocked me, and his service is still vulnerable today micahflee.com/iceblock-han...

What is the origin of the private network address 192.168.*.*? A company used it in some early documentation, people literally copied the same while setting up their networks, and that eventually became the standard. lists.ding.net/othersite/is...

YouTube: Fucking things up for everyone since 2005.

People keep asking me stuff as if it should be obvious. "Does a bear shit in the woods?" I don't know, probably? I'm not really a Bear Facts guy. Maybe bears emerge from the woods, shit, then go back in? Maybe it's some kind of trick question because Polar Bears?? Getting really mad about this.

bitches will be like “we need to kill the computer” and then not kill the computer

That's not an actor; that's just what people in New Jersey are like.

Really fascinating title here; taking advantage of features Nintendo tried to remove from the SGB!
