This is starting to get like universal basic income where every single objective study shows the same result but the people who don't like that result go "uh, well there's just really no way to know"

Behold!

Cats.
Oliver, a ginger cat, sitting on my coffee table. Patti, a black cat, sitting on my sofa arm and not being terribly enthusiastic about being photographed.

Raven Software's 2009 take on Wolfenstein often gets forgotten about, but I played it for the first time recently and really, REALLY enjoyed it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9Xn...

Every time an Olympics rolls around, I'm a bit sad we don't really get Olympics video games any more. They've always been my one particular soft spot in the sports genre, right back to the earliest days of gaming. Sega's Tokyo 2020 game was really fun, particularly with the character creator.

apologies to anyone following my blog who got hit with a deluge of emails -- I was importing some old Patreon posts so I had them all in one place on a site I control, and it decided to publish each and every one as a newsletter. I think I have turned that off now. Sorry about that!

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

it speaks volumes that all these "you can make a game with genAI!" garbage tools can create is vastly inferior ripoffs of other things

Roblox has shown off its new AI text prompt game-generation tool by producing a shit rip-off of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 on its official channels.

(Read more at NME)
A screenshot of a crappy, low-quality AI generated playable video game environment, with WASD and Shift prompts to the left, and arrows and space prompts to the right; the screenshot appears to have ripped off Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, right down to its female character's clothing and environment

I think my favourite thing about that Direct was how every publisher had clearly been told "if you have footage showing someone shooting a gun, please do not, under any circumstances, hit any enemies whatsoever"

Generative AI is ruining everything it touches and is associated with. No good is coming from it. No good will ever come from it.

an underappreciated feature of MiSTer is the ability to play Game Boy games on a CRT, either directly or using a simulated Super Game Boy. While the resolution means that you play in a very small window, the smoothness of motion looks absolutely lovely!

I did it! I finally got around to playing Rosewater by @grundislav.games -- and, as expected, it was a great time. Not only that, but it's quite a contrast from the other adventures I've covered recently, for various reasons. moegamer.net/2026/02/02/r...

Rosewater is Grundislav Games' follow-up to Lamplight City, and an excellent point-and-click adventure in its own right.

Sony has patented the idea of AI-generated podcasts hosted by characters from its games.

The idea would see players getting their own bespoke podcasts on their console, telling them what's new, hosted by the characters of the games they've been playing.

Twitter post from @BenjaminDEKR “OpenClaw is interesting, but will also drain your wallet if you aren't careful. Last night around midnight I loaded my Anthropic API account with $20, then went to bed. When I woke up, my Anthropic balance was $O. Opus was checking "is it daytime yet?" every 30 minutes, paying $0.75 each time to conclude "no, it's still night." Doing literally nothing, OpenClaw spent the entire balance. How? The "Heartbeat" cron job, even though literally the only thing I had going was one silly reminder, ("remind me tomorrow to get milk")” Continuation of twitter post “1. Sent ~120,000 tokens of context to Opus 4.5 2. Opus read HEARTBEAT md, thought about reminders 3. Replied "HEARTBEAT_OK" 4. Cost: ~$0.75 per heartbeat (cache writes) The damage: - Overnight = ~25+ heartbeats - 25 × $0.75 = ~$18.75 just from heartbeats alone - Plus regular conversation = ~$20 total The absurdity: Opus was essentially checking "is it daytime yet?" every 30 minutes, paying $0.75 each time to conclude "no, it's still night." The problem is: 1. Heartbeat uses Opus (most expensive model) for a trivial check 2. Sends the entire conversation context (~120k tokens) each time 3. Runs every 30 minutes regardless of whether anything needs checking That's $750 a month if this runs, to occasionally remind me stuff? Yeah, no. Not great.”
