I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

Signed up for Qobuz recently and thought I got French spam with this email newsletter from them:

I started my GOTY post much more introspective but rewrote it to acknowledge both BDS and the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund purchasing EA. This is so important now.

Announcing our top 10 games of 2025! I'm very proud of the pixel art I made, I found Aerith and part of Maelle online, but created Simon from Blue Prince, Melinoe, and Pauline on my own, it was fun! The background is from @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social's Old Skies

2025 Game of the Year | First Hour
2025 was an incredible year of gaming for me, I loved a bunch of games and there are a hundred more titles that I didn’t even get to play. It wasn’t quite as grand for the industry though, as consolid...

Part of the onboarding process to Postman now includes an AI chat bot with no way to skip it, you literally have to interact with it to proceed. That sucks.

So, “Order of the Sinking Star” by Thekla was just announced, which takes several small free games (two of which are mine) and gives them a major graphical upgrade and mashes up their rulesets. I haven’t been very involved but it’s a great concept and looks cool.

So it seems like @eclipse.org shut down their forums so now there's just a million dead links in search results. Great. Couldn't have just made it read only??

Would straight up prefer appreciating amateur or bad art than literally anything AI generated. I hate that I have scrutinize so much now
Also, this is his result after many tries!
Told him how to hold the pen and let the hand wander over the paper for better line quality.
It looks pretty good and he can't believe he did that himself!
That's the magic of art!
Hope he can continue if he likes it and who knows, become an artist too!

Currently not using Spotify, hoping to switch the family to like Qobuz soon (why does that sound like one of those fake video streaming services?). Instead I'm just listening to the mp3s I downloaded between 1998 and 2009, they still work!
