Halo: Combat Evolved (2001)

Playing Metroid Fusion for the very first time... What a terrifying game! Despite being +30 it gives me the same uneasiness as Metroid Prime did when I was 12 and I was already spooked by the music from the menu back then. The sound design provides such dread, I'm blasted a GBA game holds so well.

It looks like straight out of Star Trek! Ngl, I didn't even know it was a thing, guess I was too young in 2009.

Started working on this over the holiday break and forgot to post about it. 😅 Ludens is an atproto game tracking app that revolves around managing your modern and retro game catalog. It uses IGDB and retro achievements to help keep track of your backlog and has a command menu for adding games.

thanks to a tidy little PR by our old friend @bell.bz, personalsit.es now has /random, in case you just want to let the Old Gods of Digital Fate take the reins of thy chariot have a look 👁️ ↪ personalsit.es/random

Yeah, SHINOBI sincerely was my Game Of The Year for 2025, such a fantastic game and it played so well on my Switch Lite 🥷

Designers should go back creating for the simplest joy of doing instead of always seeking return on investment.

Working on a little something which should definitely bring joy to the Halo Community 😏

So that's what the early User Interface for Destiny looked like? Quite an interesting exploration, not so far distanced from what shipped in the end

the anthropic drama (tl;dr they blocked third party tools from using claude code subscriptions) is a useful reminder that you use LLMs at the pleasure of the companies providing them sounds obvious but despite all the AI discourse, i don't see a lot of people talking about the consequences of this

@gibiz.bsky.social Could you please avoid to mass "repost" your articles all at once, especially when two of them are the exact same? I love reading your publication but it's getting out of hand and appears almost like a spam on my timeline to the point I'm considering unfollowing.

"Superintelligence" 🙄 claims aside, I think he's right. LLM boosters always start dissembling when you point out that the tech has two critical problems—it scales poorly and routinely generates errors—and nobody has a clue how to fix either. Both problems appear inherent to the tech itself.

you’re right! it feels mostly awful to Go Online™, these days. the internet in a sad state, for reason after reason after reason. but there is a way to fix it; to trade the voidful howling for a quiet & joyful song. here’s how to win the war for the soul of the internet, and build the Web We Want.

Seeing what Halo 3 Anniversary could have been is leaving me speechless, what a fantastic work 👏

It's okay, you don't have to do engagement tricks and the commercialized shtick here; you can just be a person and post art, it's gonna be okay, it's gonna be alright I know twitter taught you this & sucked your soul out & art memes became the only way to communicate it's over now, you can be free

The art for this game was done by Hiroshi Nagai! An incredible artist who creates gorgeous art for city pop albums. With these being a few examples!

@spacecowboy17.bsky.social Hey buddy 👋 Does your “For You” voluntarily push US-Politic content? I’ve been using it for quite some months which usually get good on what I’m interested in (Design, Art, etc..) but I keep getting US-Politic content despite hitting “See less often” on all of them.
