I wrote a short story over the weekend. I submitted the premise to AI because I just wanted to read it, not write it. But it sucked and didn't really understand, so I practically wrote everything myself anyway trying to course correct. Now I gotta rewrite it from scratch to make it 100% my own. 🤬

[Shmup gets released] Shmup players: .... [Shmup goes off the market] Shmup players: SHIT! We weren't paying attention! [copies of shmup now costs a gazillion dollars] ---- I assume this is what happens.

Had a dream they made an AI assistant for watching movies that can explain what's going on and all the trivia and Easter eggs while you are watching it. You could also tell it to generate changes like "make this part sillier". It's so stupid, I can't believe they haven't done it already done it.

Got this book because it looked cool and I knew it at least had color photos of vintage wizardry minis...

There was an unreleased Wizardry game titled "Wizardry: Strange Tale of the Rising Sun" the only known details were that it was going to be released on Windows 95, and published by ASCII. The theme song was released. *Captain Picard quietly playing his little flute in space*

Was reading the October 9 1992 issue of Marukatsu Super Famicom on Archive. Looked up "Triff" and apparently no screenshots of this cancelled game are known to exist... Except I just found some right here...

Listened to Hour of the Dragon audiobook. Hearing about the dude they got to usurp Conan's throne becoming an even worse and spiteful leader purposely leading Aquilonia to ruin as he realizes his usefulness as a pawn is nearing an end. Not looking forward to the next few years.

Make the fog always be black and start about 10% closer to the player, and you would have the scariest game of all time IMO.

Who TF decided that the Bloop should look like the Alaskan Bull Worm?

Happy Alfred Chicken Day. All the magazines ran his paid advertisements.

AI and graphics cards doth not be shite unless you use it you can make something cool that cannot be done for all the money in the world and done in the lifetime of a laser-focused team of thousands of slave laborers. I'm talking seamless quantum rendering of an 80's OVA style w/ full 3D camera.

Suck dlss nutz. Why you gotta dlss the artists like that.

@kcg.bsky.social I feel like sideview Mallow is your kind of jam. bsky.app/profile/vgde...

Monday motivation to follow the treachery of daylight savings.

The monsters in your closet can see infrared light and see you through the blanket easily. The blanket industry tries to suppress this information.

A man who grew up not knowing what hammers are will learn to drive a nail with his fist. ... Is this anything?

Animal Crossing, but like... It's in an office building.

Weird that people have forgiven the Jim Carrey Grinch movie right after they legalized the food additive that makes lab mice think the Grinch is sexy.

You know what role Cody Rhodes was born to play?

The fact that there are so many free "retro video game sound effect" collections that I can't find the name of the one every indie game uses makes me hate it more.

Gacha game where you are the banner character that cute anime girls are trying to get in their gacha game of boring real people from the real world who spend too much time on their phones. You are rolling to appear on their phones.

I'm driving home in my isometrically oriented Japanese city. There's a shmup happening overhead. Stay safe, folks.

If you pull down the tootsie roll wrapper so it looks like a dude wearing a cape and make it fly around like a superhero, they have to give you a free one.

(Sorry, AI image. Also: cursed). How I'd expect modern Falcom would handle bringing back Popful Mail, and I why I don't want them to.

Do NOT tailgate my truck. If you do, the stupid cowboy from Looney Tunes will shoot you in the face with his guns.

You ever think to yourself... Surprise surprise! WILD DOG Allow me to introduce myself! WILD FANG (gameplay footage) Heh. And now... Time to get rid of you both. GIORGIO ZOTT TIME CRISIS... THREE.

Working for the AMS sucks. My supervisor was like "Go and prevent a confusion in the city." Like.. TF am I supposed to do about it?

It's a good thing they did away with all those classic Sega characters so the new racing game could focus on including Sonic characters from critically panned Sonic games from almost TWENTY YEARS AGO.

Here I sit, downtrod... Thought of a funny thing to say in chat... Remembered I am watching a VOD...

I dreamt I was showing the Uboa easter egg in Yume Nikki to somebody, and my alarm went off while I was in the middle of saying "But there's a 1 in 64 chance that this happ--" and I was unreasonably annoyed and needed a minute to realize that none of the conversation was real and it didn't matter.

Got some Atari playing cards at the dollar store. It's a shame Basic Programming Tech Lord and Othello Sex Man didn't make it on to cards.

Idea: footage of a city tractor cutting down overgrown grass, with pokemon cries dubbed in and being abruptly cut off by BZZT mower sounds.

Retro gamers long to be locked in a basement dungeon with only a handful of games to play.

I'm bad at Noita because I can't turn off the part of my brain that has to at least 66% every level, and can't activate the neuron to be able to play with mouse and keyboard.

by my estimate: today is the day. it has now been one Duke Nukem Forever dev cycle since the release of Duke Nukem Forever.

I was hype for this game when this trailer dropped. Picked up the expanded re-release while I was in Japan in 2010. Still need to play it.

You know, survivalcrafts... You don't HAVE to be designed so that a player's home base needs to devote space to 80 worktables and material processors. Or worse: the wall of storage chests because boxes are cheap to make, have limited space, and you're constantly hoarding garbage for crafting.

easy isometric pixel art is still coming... with a ton of new features! create anything with easymetric soon on @aseprite.org

Loaded up HBO Max. This image continues to be accurate.

They call it the Switch 2 because casual consumers see it and decide to switch 2 the competition.

Posting good music from bad games

It just occurred to me how ripe the Switch 2 will be for return fraud. People can just put a used Switch 1 in the box. It'll boot and say "Nintendo Switch" and a few people could conceivably end up with it and not notice until they tried to buy new NS2 games and looked into why they didn't work.

Dreamt there was a special edition run of Jell-O in the 90's called Jell-O Neuron. It had flavors like "Water" and "Teeth" I figured they called it "Neuron" because they were pretty proud of their big brains for coming up ways to market flavorless Jell-O.

Welp, I just pulled the trigger on buying a steam deck. So... Who's ready for Valve to announce steam deck 2 in a month or so?

I wonder if there's a zoomer out there who can't play PS1 games because they get freaked out by the "indie horror game aesthetic"
