We don't know. What we do know is the wiring diagram works. We built it, virtually, in @godotengine.org. We fed it scans of the books we found.
And the books are very, very strange. The "game" that resulted is also strange.
We're hoping people can make sense of it for us.

The worst way to experience the clocks turning back is to stay up late working on something and look at the time and think, oh I have more time left than I thought since the clocks are going to turn back, only to later figure out that it already happened and no it's just late and you're not sleeping

Terrifying. An Associated Press investigation found more than 420 bills attacking longstanding public health protections such as vaccines, milk safety and fluoride have been introduced in statehouses across the US so far this year. Around 30 bills in 12 states have already been enacted or adopted.

I literally just was on a panel about game preservation in Chicago 45 minutes ago. The response is simple: not only is the characterization about games and preservation untrue, but it also dismisses the incredible work of film archivists.

You would not believe how many stories like this have been popping up over the last ~5 years
Not just full games cancelled—entire characters and plot lines removed or changed, leaving less time for making the *rest of the game better*, to try avoiding a small and malicious contingent of voices.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan
Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

My God this video is good.
Listen, I have all the same concerns about TikTok that you all do. But I am telling you as a political journalist that the very best political commentary in the world right now is on TikTok.
It's become what Twitter used to be, maybe better. It is no folly to use it now.

The way I have been describing Baby Steps is "what if you put like Silent Hill style motivation and characterization in something that is ostensibly a comedy", which is why I am getting so much out of it.

This excellently weird alien TV experience has come to more popular platforms, so if you don't have a Playdate you can check it out now. As much as I like the low-res black & white screen for Blippo, you should grab it on PC or Switch if that's not an option. I'm sure I'll be double-dipping.

I love this. From now on, I’m going to see any game that isn’t changing up animations to demonstrate character development as wasting an opportunity.
In Donkey Kong Bananza, Pauline's idle animations evolve over the course of the game as she learns to be more comfortable around DK. In the beginning, she looks around worriedly. After Sublayer 300, she starts ruffling his hair, and after Sublayer 1400, starts tickling him.
