you know this guy is a FOR REAL photographer because he's telling the story of his brutal, unconditional arrest by federal goons and can't help but slip in a gear review
Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

fwiw I asked multiple Rare- and Magazine System-adjacent folk about this a few years ago, and was told (paraphrasing):
"possibly? idk I don't remember"
"that sounds like the sort of thing we would have told a magazine for no reason"
"we published bullshit all the time"
"possibly? idk I don't remember"
"that sounds like the sort of thing we would have told a magazine for no reason"

According to the official British Nintendo Magazine System magazine, Panel de Pon was originally planned to be localized with Killer Instinct characters before being changed to the Yoshi-themed Tetris Attack.

the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

Keep thinking about this term "pre-digested" that Kojima used to describe art that's instantly gratifying. And how it's better when people grow to love something instead.
I've gravitated, as player and designer, toward the latter, but that term "pre-digested" is new and feels very strong.

Game Awards last year took place during a videogame strike against AI
The strike wasn’t mentioned or acknowledged despite many VO performers working on the games that are heralded every year and even appearing on stage
This year a game that features AI voiceover gets a podium to accept an award.

Is this platform still against using multiple slurp juices on a single ape, or has it realised that this is something we're all going to be doing by 2023?

In The Labyrinth of Time, entering the Ziggurat without a lantern is supposed to show a black screen. However, the developers put in the wrong filename for the black screen, so it fails to render, showing a black screen instead
