It's funny how much the Nintendo 3DS has one core gimmick and then Nintendo slapped on a ton of bullshit just incase lol. It's like "3D screen + 3D cameras + gyroscope for AR gaming" but also slap IR communication on it and a pedometer just because nothing else in gaming has these now.

this was a fun weekend. seems like simpler times.

GOG @gog.com is getting acquired by its original co-founder Michał Kicińsk the idea for GOG in 2007 “bring classic games back to players, and make sure that once you buy a game, it truly belongs to you, forever.” www.gog.com/blog/gog-is-...

a lot happening here, and my own knowledge base isn't enough to say one way or another there are interesting ideas here that could be great, but i think it's important to have a healthy skepticism

I am a child of the AOL era. From AIM to Germ DM, what a trip

I think they have trained their audience that "Final Fantasy" is a certain way. If they want to do something different then they should use a new name so it don't have the baggage of that brand.

Square Enix has gotten their audience used/attuned to a certain type of JRPG, and if a game deviates from that it won't sell well. Though marketing is very important, this has to be addressed.

Seeking advice. I have many services that require cert renewal for HTTPS. My usual workflow for nginx is: 1) set up a cron job to call certbot monthly (strictly more often than needed for a 90 day cert but I'm lazy) 2) 91 days later, re-cert fails, realize that there was a bug in my script, fix […]

One of the worst things that we've done as a society is push the idea that all viewpoints are valid and up for debate. This is legit why so many people think those bullshit jubilee debates are a form of education and not just a way to socially manipulate people into being open to fascism.

Great article on @aftermath.site by @nathangrayson.bsky.social. As E3 was crumbling, it thought for the briefest second, maybe Keighley and the Game Awards could be the yearly event that brought gamers\developers together in celebration...but nah. aftermath.site/game-awards-...

Don't need to imagine, Sinatra had something to say about multicultural liberal democracies 🧵

are you allowed to get any clarification? hahaha no. you're supposed to know about allergies, tastes, dietary restrictions, quantities, seasonality of the dish, are there any traditions involved?. men do, though. the what chair? where do you want the chair?

men get very clear, straightforward instructions. like "bring your foldable chair in the car and put it exactly here". women get "figure out a side dish for 30 people" that sprawls into an incredibly deep decision tree

Merry Christmas!!! Also Happy Holidays to the rest!!! (I don't know what today is for everyone else)

i have a stupid question do they make games like parasite eve anymore

this article isn't about tartakovsky's 2003 clone wars series but i personally love that show and his stance on AI is worth noting. "the more unique that we can make things, the more it makes it anti-AI. it makes it AI-proof." - genndy tartakovsky

Ohio legislators passed a law ending the state’s practice of counting mail ballots that are postmarked prior to Election Day but that arrive up to four days after polls. This is a priority for President Trump, and the state is following his lead.

All the demos in my videos are done in the browser - honesty is important here. I want it to be real. When you're demonstrating something in the web platform, why fake it? It shows a lack of confidence in the product.

It's really sad that Chrome laid off one of the world's best CSS developer-designers, and now they have to fake demos of web features. youtu.be/d8J0vs-bEPE?...

makes you wonder the extent to which the loser behavior of a lot of Democratic electeds is just downstream of the loser behavior of apparently a bunch of Democratic voters

The comments on this video on TikTok are so interesting to me because it is a lot of people saying that we can’t do this because what if Republicans try it to or what if Republicans reverse it. “We have to change the court the traditional way.”

It appears the link above finally stopped worrying. If you want to watch the story Bari spiked, you can see it in five parts here:

Oh and a torrent for a full HD 1.3Gb version, if that's your thing archive.org/download/60m...

I highly recommend watching this segment, not just because the CBS News execs and the White House didn’t want you to, but because these men were tortured and they deserved to have their voices heard.

In Capitalist America, the neat tenderizes you.

Ok. Now had a chance to check and, well, at least some docs do appear to be straight up classic redaction fail. And there are some *interesting* bits here. www.justice.gov/multimedia/C...

Just a heads up to anyone on bsky that might be interested. I'm going ahead with the roguelite dreidel game haha. My wife approved me spending a small amount on a godot programmer and 3d artists for ps1/psx/n64 style graphics, so lemme know if interested! It's paid work, more details in replies. 🕎 💜

Tragic news in the gaming community: VINCE ZAMPELLA, VIDEO GAME DEVELOPER BEHIND 'CALL OF DUTY' FRANCHISE, KILLED IN FERRARI CRASH: www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/v... #ripvincezampella #losangeles #indiedev #gamedev

Call of Duty co-creator Vince Zampella killed in a car crash Game developer Vince Zampella, known for his work on many popular first-person shooter franchises, has died. According to Los Angeles news channel NBC4, Zampella was killed in a single-vehicle car crash on Sunday along with one other…

Lupe Fiasco be like: "A pattern in the hood - like a tile on a Tial, from yesteryear - I've got a file on the Fial, neighboring our land - I'm in the aisle by the isle" And he'd end with some bar saying "it's gon' be a while" but I didn't think that far here.

I think this strengthens the case for Stancilism. Immediate post pandemic economy was *weird* in a way that made it hard to compare it to similar years. But we've got low unemployment and low inflation now. Very hard to make the case that now is worse than the Volcker shock.

Holy smokes the quotes here are deranged. He's pro-housing and pro-immigration but people on here are fantasizing about executing him because they can't read

A report from the advocacy group Everytown For Gun Safety analyzed data from local police departments on nearly 350,000 guns used in crimes from 2020 to 2024, including where they came from.

"For Dickinson, to imagine herself in the position of a Black person is to imagine herself being dispossessed by a Black person."

the deal involved the pursuit of shared policy goals (violent subjugation of Palestinians/violent subjugation of Black people/violent subjugation of women), political power and often a lot of money.

Shapiro and Bari Weiss and a range of other Jews on the right believed that they could make a deal with the christofascists on the basis of shared whiteness/ shared hatred of Palestinians/Muslims/shared hatred of the left. 1

part of the problem is that Ds have spent decades now refusing to stand up for their values, leaving partisans confused and the floor open for fascists.

this is going to dominate mainstream media AND the right wing bubble for weeks. if they thought they were avoiding negative press...well, we already know they're incredibly incompetent.

I was playing Fortnite back when it was still fight zombies and build stuff to keep the zombies out. There wasn’t even any multiplayer lol. Anyway fuck Fortnite.

Gonna stop looking at the Epstein Files in a second because I'm frankly way too skeeved out to keep going but I will say this: the CSAM isn't blacked out nearly enough while the faces of guys in ties are obscured by vanta black rectangles the size of the sun.

these documents are more blacked out than Pete Hegseth on New Years Eve

Remember, his children’s grandparents are refugees. When I say this man’s a piece of shit, it’s impossible to overstate the depth of my sincerity.

Halo fans stunned as old mixed reality game vanishes from the Store. Digital ownership strikes again. Do you think Microsoft should be more transparent about removals like this, or is it just part of the digital era we live in? #GamingNews
