Yuuku preserved King's Field Mobile, a previously-lost King's Field i-mode game. A retelling of the PS1 original, it has different map layouts and an auto-map. For a real-time 3D 2004 keitai game, it's very ambitious. There's already an English patch too!

Larry Ellison’s leap into farming with his company, Sensei Farms, serves up a classic reminder: being a genius in one arena doesn’t mean success in another. As the WSJ reports, the Oracle co-founder set out to reinvent agriculture on Hawaii’s Lāna‘i…

Players have been asking for the ability to filter out games made with Gen AI.

300+ comments on that topic and it seems almost everyone agrees.

I spent nine months upgrading over TEN THOUSAND desktops at a F500 client. The grand total was over SEVENTY THOUSAND applications upgraded.
Y2K "didn't live up to the hype" because the industry busted ass to duct tape everything first.

People feared the computer glitch would mean "the end of the world as we know it." Thankfully, Y2K didn't live up to the hype after years and billions of dollars were spent on painstaking preparation.

Someone on Co-Host recommended me this image viewer app a long time ago when I asked for something more "minimalist" than the Windows default, "Opti". I've only been using it since and 100% recommend it.
by pressing "a" the image will also overlap any current window, which is great for references

This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in a game. I did the part of the main quest in Qud that takes you to Golgotha, and I won't spoil anything but it basically lead to a whole troglodyte arc. I've been underground for weeks looking for a way up. Gained 6 levels since I saw the sun
