if you played sonic the hedgehog and put down the controller, sonic would look at you and tap his foot impatiently. this was proof that sega genesis cartridges had souls. the decision was made to make the storage cases a lot larger than the cartridges so they would have room to move around in there

they want to compare genAI to sci fi thats concerned w the selfhood of robots but in those stories we dont know the mechanics of C3PO or Bender. theyre written like ppl and essentially have brains so they Are. we know how genAI works and its facade is bare, its incomparable. we Know it doesnt Think.

Indie game devs be like

i want turn based back in FF but i think my core issue is actually that i miss PARTIES. the team is the core of what i adore about my fave rpgs, FF esp, and while the newer characters r still cool, i dont get to know them thru play, i dont get to understand them thru their role in the party.

figured out how to make this website usable, finally

Hey y'all. A South African dev released a blackity black game during BHM and it's currently getting the usual suspects in the reviews. Imma grab this up myself anyway, but can we all be some chums and help push the racists out of the reviews? 🙂

hey guys great news i just discovered while in my media tab that my appeal went through so sailor moon crucifix panty shot is no longer adult content

Discord posted an update abt their age verification - I feel the need to inform people that all of these things were already true last year when they had that data breach that exposed people's IDs. Bad actors got into a customer support account that had access to tickets with people's IDs in them.

smoke break #art | #docal

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

In the wake of a massive confirmation that the tech industry’s run by deranged pedophiles, not a single tech platform should have the balls to start demanding ID and enacting invasive policies. Yet they continue. They’re the ones being outed as dangerous and we’re the ones being regulated.

There’s a sentiment among some locals that eyes on Minnesota are waning. The situation has NOT changed here. Local resistance is tired, but of course never giving up. Please stay plugged into the news of the Minneapolis ICE occupation and donate where able. We need endurance in this moment.

Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Quite simply one of the most beautiful things ever to run on the PS1.

Final Fantasy 14’s Wuk Lamat won the patreon poll so here she is~ I haven’t gotten to Dawntrail myself yet but all the art I’ve seen of this lady has been amazing. Love me a big buff kitty! I bet she gives great hugs… #ffxiv

one thing I'd really like to attempt this year is divesting from Google entirely. It'd be a chore for sure, but man there's just nothing redeemable about this company anymore

im so tired but i kinda just Know i wont be able to nap

eugh. no thank uuuuu

Super CD ROM error message screen (as in, seen when trying to play it on a non-super PCE system) from the special CD demo of Bomberman '94 (the final game turned up on HuCard):

Fran (Final Fantasy XII) is the next figure that Square Enix will release in partnership with Good Smile Company. Pre-orders have begun for the planned June 2027 release. na.store.square-enix-games.com/final-fantas... 📷 SQEX

I did this thing the week I found out how to get models from MGS2, no fancy rigs, but yes fancy compositing setup

it's genuinely stunning to me you'd keep a game in the hopper for a decade and then do huge layoffs after a single month. a month is nothing in live service terms. less than nothing.

got my copy of Drogune Fortunes Lap!!! GORGEOUS comic by Ian Flynn and Adam Bryce Thomas, super fun the whole time, cant wait to get more of it

Grab physical copies of #Drogune: Fortune's Lap for 15% off! (Digital copies are already cheaper, so it's win-win!) Head to Drogune.com/Read for links, then use the code "NONFICTION15" at checkout! (Drogune is very much fiction. I won't tell if you don't. SHHH!)

Kemono Love Story (1994, Mega Drive, Unreleased)

pointing out that they can do this just makes me want to leave discord regardless

if you harassed someone over a ship in the year 2026 when it has been proven our world is run by pedophiles and rapists then you’re too stupid to have a platform and youre not helping anyone, only hurting

my tier list of books read for my book club. if you disagree pretend i can't read and i'm ranking the covers

last srs post today but i will unfollow and disconnect if u compare human made art to genAI. idc how bland or boring or boiler plate it is, it is not appropriate and muddies important waters. critique it as bland, it earned that by being made by a person, but dont degrade it by bringing genAI in

my headcanon is that casinos are a naturally occuring biome in sonic world

ugh! posting too much

we’re slowly building a rigid labyrinth for kids and teenagers that is separating them from the adult world in which they will eventually spend the rest of their lives. shrinking opportunities for adults and kids to develop healthy relationships.

worth noting that even if you refuse the age verification process, you won’t be locked out of talking to your friends on discord even if you can’t access certain servers. add folks now if you want to keep in touch and coordinate moving to a different platform

kids deserve education and information and above all freedom and its frustrating to see counterpoints to censorship advocate for banning kids or for parents to control what their kid sees and hears, both of which suck (and are also censorship).

trying to find abusivi by tinturia but this album is apparently only on spotify and amazon and there doesn't seem to be any official way to buy it and i'm losing my mind

Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month - all accounts set to "teen-appropriate experience" by default www.theverge.com/tech/875309/... discord.com/press-releas...
