Exploring some arcade game self-tests to see exactly why some games start up with a glitchy tile soup! Why Do Arcade Games Boot Up Like This? youtu.be/LVDbhC5Sve4

stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.

When I first looked at Unity, the editor had dark mode paywalled. That told me everything I needed to know right there. (That was changed quite a while ago, but it was a huge red flag then, and things like this just tell me I was right to nope out.)

hey everybody lifelong tech expert here > "system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility that's not how anything works they're lying and destroying evidence hope that helps

Reddit rises up

and you don't seem to understand

The Banjo-Kazooie Randomizer on XBOX 360 is taking shape. Unfortunately, at least for now, the seed isn't generated in-game, the files are modified externally (similar to the N64 one).

Feel free to widely share this curated easy to understand #Satellaview knowledge that I just posted on my blog. I didn't want to overscope it but I spent a lot of time explaining a curated list of games for those who have no idea what the Satellaview is. luigiblood.neocities.org/blog/2026-01...

⚠️ NEW DISCORD SCAM WARNING ⚠️ A new Discord scam is going around where users are purporting to give free Nitro. They say that if you click the green Nitro icon, you will get it. This is a scam. Nitro crates actually explode on contact

When you singlehandedly tank your company's reputation so hard that your biggest client, who never says an unkind word against anyone, has to get out there and reassure people you aren't coming back

Just so we're clear, and so a tiny handful of wankers online don't create the wrong impression, the vast majority of your European friends are incredibly impressed by Minnesotans' courage against both the ice and ICE.

This is essentially what governments did in the late 1900s and early 2000s with respect to Nazis. Whether you were a lowly concentration camp guard or in Hitler's inner circle, if there was evidence you were a Nazi, it was straight to jail with your walker. It worked.

dri-quoi?

A few days ago, I stood in the graveyard of an 1100 year old church, getting damper and damper in the drizzling rain. A woman walked into the graveyard, waved, said hello, and, as we had previously arranged, handed me a paper bag full of human bones. The life of a churchwarden is a strange one...

I just thought everyone should see this

Thinking about how bsky has the most horrible setting turned on by default that says "i don't want to see any other languages except English" and if no one tells you to put it on "no selection" you straight up won't see posts from people set to different languages on your TL.

@michaelkosta.bsky.social celebrates America's self-owning tariffs against its allies, and @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social can hardly watch

Exceptionnellement, je prends ma casquette d'avocat spécialisé en droit du travail : Cet arrêt est important puisqu'il instaure le fait que le néonazisme ne relève pas d'une opinion librement exprimable dans sa vie privée mais peut constituer 1 violation du code d'éthique et de respect interne.

if you’re in line to hate AI, STAY IN LINE!

This might be the most difficult CPU to program.
 The Intel i860 was useless for general operating systems. Context switches took ~2,000 cycles. *You* controlled the floating point pipeline. But, if you’re a genius, it was one of the most powerful chips that existed.

It is 2075. I've lost my entire life savings to a holonet avatar scam that leveraged 60 years of collected chat, voice, and biometrics data to perfectly replicate the love of my life. My grandkids are asking if it's time to limit my holonet access. They're flabbergasted. They're disappointed in me

"La bulle de l'IA va éclater si les gens continuent d´en avoir rien à foutre" Non parce que les bougs avouent eux mm tuer des secteurs entiers de l'emploi, créent des pénueries, nique l'environnement, font exploser les prix, pour du vent que personne n'a demandé.

Deputy chair of the World Russian People's Council, Mikhail Ivanov, has called for a ban of Grand Theft Auto 6 for amoral content. Note that they don't have legal authority to enforce a ban so who knows if that goes through.

“One notable MIT study found that 95 percent of companies that integrated AI saw zero meaningful growth in revenue. For coding tasks, one of AI’s most widely hyped applications, another study showed that programmers who used AI coding tools actually became slower at their jobs.”

cleaning up my desktop and found this little gem

This was the info card for Tálknafjörður, a small town in Iceland. The Mayor is Eitthver skíthæll. A lovely Icelandic name. This card was live for 134 days. (Eitthver skíthæll means "some asshole")

"Dr.J0nes" just uploaded a really proof-of-concept demo of the legendary #Doom running in his own virtual CPU, created in the game "Turing Complete" A game that teaches about CPU architecture with puzzles store.steampowered.com/app/1444480/... www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnTf... #gamedev #retrogaming

there are a lot of paths to compellingly being in a created space, and modern AAA went extremely hard on a certain narrow notion of graphical fidelity and a certain testing methodology, and many, many things were washed out of the realm of what is perceived to be possible by this.

Watching several communities have run-ins with different versions of ai psychosis has me once again very glad I prepared myself for the future by fucking myself up hard on psychedelics multiple times as a teen and developing a sense of reality from that.

It's hard to have impostor syndrome when you (yes, you) have to balance that with the realization that you could do a better job doing stuff like running the most expensive virtual reality project in the world or being President of the United States.

There's absolutely no on else out there writing patch notes like the Tactical Nexus developers store.steampowered.com/news/app/114...

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.
