@st1ka.bsky.social have you ever played Hored Guns and the old Space Hulk games?

The 16bit horror corridor game made me think of this as you mentioned there’s both like it on 16 bit.

Not the same but adjacent!

I finished all of Gundam ever. So you don't have to. Out of everything, I recommend both seasons of Iron Blooded Orphans, and the Gundam Hathaway movie. The rest is ok but I think you need to have grown up with it

I asked @perplexityai.bsky.social: "what are the top 5 SNES games for people who really know their shit".

Super Metroid, Contra 3, Hagane (?!), U.N. Squadron (?!), Super Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back (?!).

3/6 games are barely worthy of being in the top 50. Really poor quality result.

@st1ka.bsky.social yoooo. Kabuki Quantum Fighter coverage. Awesome

@johnlearned.bsky.social Apparently Youtube thinks "Shmuplations translation" means "small asians translation". Which is so odd and hilarious to me consider the amount of times you refer to it

Finally played Doom The Dark Ages.

What the fuck is this. Wide areas like Serious Sam. Constant interruptions from menus and tips. Recycles Eternal’s repetitive rhythm gameplay loop. Constantly blocked by gates where you have to clear the area. Idiotic take on the franchise.

I suppose the H1B policy is going to lead to a lot of panic and this kinda thing

I’m just so grateful for this amazing AI feature. Great use of money and effort.

There is something supremely frustrating about ChatGPT telling me "do this", and the steps don't exist.

I really wish it could just try to do the actions for me and take control of a window or browser. Realize it's not what it expected. Come up with the answer.

@joshrevell.bsky.social watching your video on Rush. I cackled at “imagine if Romain Grosjean was a car” and almost spat out my sushi

@st1ka.bsky.social I would consider The Battle of Olympus an early metroidvania for the GB :)

They introduced The Mule in season three of Foundation?! And not one headline mentioned it??

Wonderful intro. Excited to see where they take it.

I really respect what Mario 64 achieved, but the floaty movement, constant inertia, the camera that only moves in increments and won’t let you adjust height precisely… it’s a lot.

Such a great example of what QOL improvements have brought to game design over the years.

@dungeonchill.bsky.social would you consider doing a video on Bioforge?

Learning a couple of phrases in Irish for a date. I keep associating the sounds with Japanese.

“I’m doing great” is pronounced “ta me go heintuh”… which sounds fairly close to “tamago hentai”.

I now have to think about egg hentai to remember that phrase 😅🙀

So I just started playing Princess Peach Showtime. I expected a cute 2D platformer.

No one told me this was basically Bayonetta for kids! There’s a lot of really good design in there.

Been playing with open source ai models and self hosting them. Deepseek, llama3, couple of others. It’s nice to be able to run this stuff for free and privately… but honestly the results aren’t amazing.

They spit out this very unnatural, stilted Q&A style of ansées. Kinda like GPT3 did.

@mcuban.bsky.social do you still think it’s worth developing apps on AT protocol, or is growth going to be an issue because of the kind of engagement and community on Bluesky?

Seriously considering making a FB Groups meets Patreon alternative for here.

@whitehole.dev how’s the decomp going?

@guilewinquote.bsky.social I just got my Switch 2. What would be interesting obscure fighters I should get? Besides the Capcom and SNK offerings, is there stuff that’s interesting and you’ve covered?

@dungeonchill.bsky.social watching your Last Express video. It’s lovely as usual.

There’s no way you would know, but the S in Jean Jaurès is actually pronounced! It’s a rare exception in a last name :)
