Just dropped: Soft de Hard na Monogatari OST by the legendary Manabu Saito / Part of Novelware adventure game series that included Dome and Chatty, but this one is a parody of game development and game culture circa 1987, including countless references to real games/people #x68k youtu.be/gJm0_Rxa0TU

Some stars who were big in Japan….

Man, I am so sick of the take that all good games are financially successful, and that if a game wasn't successful, it couldn't have been good. That is such an insane take about the video game industry, I don't know where to start. Ppl who say this REALLY need to play more games.

Jeff Bezos' Washington Post editorial board endorsed Pam Bondi as a "qualified" and "serious" pick for Attorney General. Nowhere in the endorsement did they mention that she's a former Amazon lobbyist. Another reminder that billionaire control of our media is a threat to democracy.

I wish the disdain for businesses trying to get artists to work "for exposure" extended to conference speakers. Y'all charge $800 a badge and have ads wallpapered behind the stage and you can't afford to pay the person standing on it? 🙄

In 2021 I was asked to do NFTs. 4 weeks of work for a projected $1 million. I got harassed for months by cryptobros for saying "no" publicly as a high profile artist. The project went ahead without me and the offer was legit. NFTs were and are a grift, peddled by the same techbros as AI

Last year, Trump signed executive orders to fast-track AI data center construction and weaken state-level AI regulations. Now a new AI industry group says it will spend $100M+ on the midterms to push Trump's AI agenda. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction. Be warned.

It's Monday, which means it's time for a new issue of Ludology Now! This week I spoke with @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social about 20 years of Wadjet Eye Games, innovation in the point-and-click space, and what the perfect entry point to get people hooked on the genre is: bonus-action.com/interview/da...

VGM is a logged format, so the files are just a list of I/O with the soundchips. It's agnostic to the underlying sound driver running in the game/on CPU. I did my own little deep dive here www.mattmontag.com/music/fixing...

When I finish writing my first #Infocom style #InteractiveFiction for #commodore64, I'd like to commission a #pixelart for the loading screen from a real #pixelartist. I'm not expecting to make any money from the game but I want to do it because I can! 😎

Surveillance is a one-way ratchet toward authoritarianism. Yes, even by private companies. Even when people “consent.” Even when the company gives you “free” stuff, or let you stand in a shorter line, or make your life more convenient somehow.

I'm getting in the mood to play Fallout 4 again. Maybe I should pick it up again when it's released for Switch 2? (And I'm assuming I will need to wait a bit longer for many expected patches 🤠)

Cindy Block. #ZXspectrum More mindblowing smooth colour graphics and bent double AY sound. I could watch the title screen on loop forever. In fact, I currently am.

Some people say I’m living in the past… #psion5 #retro

I managed to found the PC-98 version of Zork I, ported by System Soft. I was moderately impressed with the Japanese parser implemented for this game.

So, when I started playing with a Japanese 8-bit PC, a new game genre called #AdventureGames was being introduced to Japan. I really couldn't play any adventure games until Japanese developers started making them, and I had been longing for the American Adventure games.

We all seem to have forgotten one of the most truly delightful and surprising indie interactive fiction drops of the last decade. 17776 is ostensibly about football, which is why at first glance I thought I wouldn't like it. But it really makes me smile, and the world could use that right now.

Absolutely pathetic. $8.3m in max revenue in seven weeks from running ads to an audience of 900m weekly active users, they’ll say this is a “small test” but based on the failure of OpenAI’s checkout feature I don’t think they know how to build anything that actually makes money

Fanatical's new Bethesda bundle is filled with great classic titles, like Fallout 3 and Prey, all for the GOG platform. And yes, they are still playable on the Steam Deck:

"We as developers and players need to push back against this bullsh*t just like we did with NFTs and crypto games and try in vain to do with predatory micro transactions, loot boxes and battle passes."

I love that every time Anthropic changes their rate limits the r/Claudecode subreddit fills with guys talking like they’re doing an Aaron Sorkin speech
