Long shot request, but does anyone own the May 1995 issue of V-Jump? I want to confirm the release date for the June 1995 issue, which would be toward the very back here in the May issue as a small blurb on the left of the table of contents page. Please share around & thanks to anyone who can help!

starting chipping away a bit at Sorry, We're Closed for Slow Games Club this month (it's shoudn't be a super-long game by any means, but no harm in taking it an hour or so here and there among other things)
also turned on like all the accessibility features because man I ain't here to be *good*

Also, if we take "retro" to mean 80s - 90s, most contemporary magazine reviews were worthless.
Here's EGM's Gimmick review, where only one of the four critics appears to have actually played it for more than five minutes, if at all.
(It's brutally hard and has a bespoke physics system)

The exploit has nothing to do with the AI features, this is a a markdown exploit lol. I mean still, 'why are you fucking up notepad for no reason' but lets not make shit up
The AI features added to Notepad created a critical exploit vulnerable to loading a compromised txt file.
The fix is part of Patch Tuesday, so update your systems.
AI is not a feature I ever desired in Notepad. I should look into some alternatives...

AI-upgraded Notepad now exposes Windows users to critical exploit
A critical remote code execution vulnerability found in the AI-upgraded Windows 11 Notepad has fueled renewed criticism of Microsoft's forced AI feature creep.

"Different beliefs" bro some of these people's "beliefs" include the deportation and deaths of people like me.

people want a Zelda movie to be "what if Ocarina of Time was LotR" when what it should be is an 80-minute anime OVA released in the early 90's with the weirdest plot you've ever seen and at least one original character who was so endearing that it physically hurts they aren't in any of the games

Fascinating and deeply satisfying resolution to why adenovirus-based vaccines produced blood clots in 1 out of 200,000 people.
Two factors interacted:
a mutation in an antibody gene + weak similarities between a viral protein & a human blood-clotting protein = induced clotting cascade.

Five years after the rollout of Covid-19 vaccines started, it seems the mystery of why the Astra-Zeneca and J&J vaccines led to a rare but deadly side effect of unusual blood clots and bleeding has finally been solved.
It's a fascinating case of molecular mimicry that may help make vaccine safer.🧪

The best part of this lie is that "computer" was a grunt-work position for women that involved hand-calculating a *lot* numbers. When computers became machines, women suddenly couldn't math because math jobs paid actual money. Weird how that happened.
the people who spread the “female brains are bad at math and spatial reasoning” lies should be tried at the Hague
Another fun wrinkle from that period (that might still exist): I was good at math and loved it and then my geometry teacher told me that I'd probably struggle because female brains were bad at spatial thinking. I kept loving math & being good at it but assumed that would end so I ended it first.

at least I should have the latter show up late, the former show up early, and I've played the latter in Japanese :V
