Last week I had a client show up at my studio, unexpectedly. She wasn't in my calendar, oops.

Today we're doing the rescheduled shoot and my camera just up and dies. I finish the shoot with a spare.

Then the memory card can't be read on the PC.

Is there a lesson here? IDK.

"Everything not a sheep is dangerous" works pretty well for Australia too, tbf
In Icelandic we have 'Ókind' for monster. But the translation is un-sheep. So everything not a sheep is dangerous.

The classic kusoge (shit games) Cho Aniki and the sequel Ai Cho Aniki are coming out for PC!

If you're keen on a 20 year old opinion of this 30 year old madhouse of a game, I have one!

I recently set up Groovy MiSTer, which acts as a display for Groovy MAME running on a PC. It's a brilliant setup that bypasses the PC's laggy video subsystem entirely. It's an easy thing to set up, but I felt an up to date concise (written!) guide might be handy for some people.

So I wrote one.
Groovy MiSTer Install Guide
I recently set up a Groovy MiSTer system and found that none of the guides quite covered everything I needed to know, so I wrote another one!

The PC Engine version of this game was so, so good.

What an asshole. Steals the logos someone else vectorized, offers no thanks or credit, then says they only have value because he gave them meaning with his words.

My new coping strategy is digging a bunker, tapping into the old coal mines and popping up in basements, and stealing preserves.

Except Australia has no basements and people don't do preserves anymore. So I guess I'll just dig holes, pop up in yards like a mole in Mario World, and scream.

Copped a big hit from the storm today. A dozen dents on my car from the hail and so much water came in through the window of my hoise there were wet boxes above my head, and I'm tall. Pools of water on the floor, and on my arcade cabs. Water literally pouring off arcade PCBs when I pick them up.

I have a big NGP cloth banner with this slogan on it.

The neo pocket was so fucking cool.

New interview! A followup to a recent post where I unearthed a 2008 interview with turboxray, who was doing cool things with the PC Engine.

Well near enough 18 years later he's doing more cool stuff! I asked about Ghouls n Ghosts for the SuperGrafx, Street Fighter, Bonk and Dracula X!

Every day there's something new to shriek about. The void is getting to be noisy, it's not the quiet dark comfort it used to be.

I did not think miyamoto would have said that. Happy to be right about something for a change.
So the Miyamoto quote was not correct. This is what he actually said. It doesn't change what I said about Nintendo not actively helping game preservation, though.
So this is just legitimate ragebait. The context was specifically about expanding the Nintendo IPs and the Nintendo Museum where they can see and use old hardware. Here's the question and answer

This is important and educational and true. Give it a watch if you are, know, like or have heard of women. Endometriosis sucks.
Perfect.

I was given a pair of decent microphones recently.

I guess I have to start a podcast now? Or become a streamer?

This is a lot of pressure.

Absolutely not.
Here’s a primer on ‘primer.’

It’s pronounced ‘PRIMM-er’ if you mean “a small book” or “a short informative piece of writing.”

It’s pronounced ‘PRY-mer’ if you mean “an initial coat of paint.”

I think this is a really salient point that’s a key thing that gets overlooked as an element of what might be necessary to embrace if we’re going to be able to get out of this.
One reason former Republicans have been better at opposing Trump than many progressives is because they correctly understand that the GOP’s descent into fascism represents a dramatic shift, and is therefore scarier, where the latter groups feel the need to argue it’s just a continuation of trend

OK, I think I get it now: AI is to code what tornado cash is to crypto currency. It's basically laundering code from Stack Overflow.
