unbelievably funny thing to show up on the timing graphic and not be in error

explaining burgers to an f1 commentator: imagine a sweet shop

why is "this game doesn't respect your time" always deployed for games that have the gall to ask the player to engage with them mechanically instead of essentially playing themselves and not forever games employing all the strongest developed-by-casinos technology for monopolizing the player's time

it's fucked up that the youth of today have to discover their music taste however it is you do that in 2026 instead of getting it all through quake 3 frag and defrag movies

I just recently learned that episode 54 of the anime Kochikame focuses on a character becoming obsessed with playing "Dokidoki Memorial", a parody of Tokimeki Memorial. This episode aired in 1997, two years after Tokimeki blew up in the mainstream after the release of the PlayStation port in 95.

no punishment too harsh for the corporate lawyers of video game companies that are petty enough to issue takedown requests to archive.org uploads of scans of video game manuals

the next version windows will be called windows 11.0 + 1.0 and each copy will contain the soul of one of the user's ancestors

i don't care how much magic they've been imbued with, there's no way wearing a pair of flip flops is going to increase anybody's jumping ability

If you feel that use of AI art assets at any stage of the process is an automatic out, but ChatGPT translations are fine if they're "checked" by people, it might be worth asking yourself why that is. Because it sounds a whole lot like valuing the work of translators less than other creatives to me.

i have finally finished higurashi! it was fantastic! i never want to play anything this long again! (<- is expecting a copy of umineko for the switch to arrive in the mail in the next few weeks)

We need less remakes, rereleases, relaunches, and reinvisionings and more art that directly takes inspiration from other art. I don't care if your game is a blatant Super Mario 64 ripoff, it's likely gonna be better than any new revision of a game three hundred million people already played before

find the sound effect that plays every time they move the clock hands around in meitantei precure extremely unpleasant for reasons i do not at all understand

have any japanese sausage brands used twin mascot characters to take advantage of a 双生児/ソーセージ pun yet? and if not why not, that seems like money being left on the table

game publishers stop locking languages based on region challenge (impossible difficulty)

the late title card drop for higurashi matsuribayashi-hen and the scene leading into it

😥😨

pc game that monitors your frame rate the first time you launch it and then charges you $10 to unlock a higher frame rate than that if you play it on a more powerful machine later

Hello. My name is John Titor. Don't ask me about the future. I only need to source a computer system with a working graphics processor that isn't dependent on any LLM systems to function.

i don't mind that it's like -30℃, but i would have liked it to take more than like, a single day of buffer, between this and it being above freezing that's too fast to get that much colder

tl;dr it looks like Amazon is demonetizing erotica (not just queer erotica, even cishet ones like 50 Shades, but F/F ones seem to be especially targeted even if not erotica) from their *affiliate program*, which is not a great sign. iheartsapphfic.com/2026/02/17/h...

wait i'm sorry, they *pay you* to give blood in america? what? am i understanding this correctly?

standing on my chair, cheering

if i was gog i probably would have sent out an email asking people to join my program that apparently exists for users to give me money for the sake of giving me money before showing my whole ass with an ai pivot instead of after but i guess that's why im not making the big bucks as an executive

(Four-player modem DOOM at VCF SoCal) ME: So how did you get the show to run you four landlines? EXHIBITOR: Oh, I’m running my own PBX and modem bank. ME: you WHAT

anyone else remember that genre of forum signature where it would link out to a script that would dynamically alter an image to include like, your ip address and stuff from your browser fingerprint onto it? what was the deal with those? please write in if you had one to explain your thought process

it's very funny of d4 to start releasing the eggconsole games, called that because they're project egg, a pc service, games for consoles, on steam and have them still be called eggconsole

it's fucked up how much your relationship to a piece of software is changed by it crashing a single time, doesn't matter if you used it for thousands of hours before that happened you're never going to feel the same way about it again

one day i will learn the lesson that figuring out what a bunch of vagueposts are about is never a worthwhile, fulfilling, enriching, or otherwise day improving experience

you love to see it when a vn pulls out the "it's actually conveniently in a location we already have a background for" card

Important reminder from me:

just spent 10 minutes looking for an object that was placed exactly where i thought it was, but i looked at it went "no that's not it" and then looked everywhere else i thought it might be until looking back in the first place people should be cowering in fear at my overwhelming brain power

drafts? cowardly. post from your heart, like: girls' last tour but with moe syzslak and homer simpson

someone should invent a head that doesn't ache

why does this joke pop up in so many places? is everything referencing an ur-instance of it that showed up in some seminal work, or does japan just really like this one? like, it's a fine joke, i'm just surprised at how many times i've seen it

LLM Slop Will Make Us Antisocial - Ruminations on IFComp 2025 mimidoshima.neocities.org/main/posts/2... i wrote about recent events in the interactive fiction community and how it emboldened me to fight against vibe coders and LLM slop.

it should simply not be nearly 20℃ in early february. there should be a negative in front of that number

instead of giving me answers as advertised, higurashi kai has so far mostly given me new, worrying questions like, "should i be talking to my doctor about my previously normal springtime allergies suddenly going away a couple years ago?"
