"The CIA conspired to make me less cool than I was when I was 25" is the most succinct Gen X manifesto I've ever heard

last night I fell asleep with the Zelda: Ocarina of Time shop theme stuck in my head and this morning I woke up with the same song stuck in my head so I made this

Steam community: “Can we play as a male character?” Me (indie dev in this economy): “Best I can do is sentient tofu.”

New generative AI statement for @hinterland.bsky.social's games, being added first to the Episode Five build launching at the end of March. (Needs some formatting tweaks for widescreens apparently...😅)

The new Gorillaz short is such a joyous salve just when I (or all of us, the world) really needed it; Beast Stable is the best of Meiko Kaji's Scorpion movies: 2046 the only place you'll find two Faye Wongs, one of 'em an android; Riki-Oh + Giant Bomb's Film & 40s commentary is a riot boxd.it/5Jk7H

Bit of an oddball selection this week: Gorillaz just dropped some of their best work in 'The Mountain, The Moon Cave and the Sad God'; Hitchcock's got jokes in 'The 39 Steps'; the penultimate 'Lone Wolf and Cub' goes ham on visuals; a rather tepid remake of Cronenberg in 2019's 'Rabid' boxd.it/5Jk7H

Just a reminder while this is a victory, it's not over yet until Discord completely gives up on the age verification nonsense. Don't resubcribe to Nitro immediately.

Been going through ancient SNES savefiles containing info uploaded to the XBAND online multiplayer servers at the end of the service in 1997 and I cannot fucking believe I found an early version of this meme here. Is this what the guy who found Tutankhamun felt like?

NEW: A hobbyist has created Nearby Glasses, an app that warns you if someone close by is wearing smart glasses. 404 Media spoke to the creator who said he was inspired by our coverage that uncovers how men are wearing Meta's Ray-Bans to covertly film massage parlor workers.
