Is horror so popular these days because it offers an escape from the actual miserable nightmare that is modern American life?

An appropriate response
‘The Owl House’ creator Dana Terrace responds to Disney+ funding AI-generated short form content in new tweet:

“Unsubscribe from Disney+. Pirate Owl House. I don’t care. Fuck gen AI.”

I did a taste test recently for a market research company. They don’t pay cash anymore, so I got a $45 Visa card. Yesterday, I used the card to buy a SNES Reflex CTRL and the VF5 PS5 upgrade. Somehow, it all feels like house money, so I’m feeling pretty happy about my “free” gifts.

I never really thought I’d see the day when I’d actively dislike every one of the console manufacturers.

Sony didn’t announce pricing for their 27” monitor, but inside sources tell me it will be roughly TOO MUCH.

I watched Highest 2 Lowest last night and loved it. It’s crazy the journey this story has taken. I added High & Low to my watchlist a couple of years ago from a Criterion closet pick video w/no knowledge of the connection until the credits. West to east and back again! Pick 1 and go in blind.

"This use of GenAI is fine because VAs signed contracts to relinquish their rights".

Well yeah, have you seen what happens to those who don't want to sign off on this? Can you really call that consent when the alternative is losing (or never getting) a job?

I haven’t even taken the jack-o’-lantern off the porch, and we’ve got snow. Granted, I’ve taken my time with it, but we’re not really that far out.

I learned a lot from Yugo/Hugo, maybe one of the most important lessons a young American can learn. I understood it then, but as I get older, my understanding grows. Of course, George Carlin, also made it very clear, very succinctly.

The greatest leap forward in console gaming for me isn’t 4K or HDR; it’s 120fps. Cutting theoretical input latency down to times faster than a CRT’s has been really helpful for action gaming. I actually wish they’d put out more living room TVs at 1080p120+.

This short Vice City video I made ages ago featuring the best thing you can do in the game has a 100.1% retention rate. I’m not sure how that’s possible, but Google is very good at math and computers and stuff, so it must be accurate. youtu.be/TAQcE7AA-2U?...

Why does Nintendo have to be so Nintendo all the time? Just put the time logged, man.

Also, of the 8 top, I only really like 4. That’s a little surprising.

This is big, man. Very big. A lifelong gaming goal achieved. It doesn’t even feel real. I got the TKO on Tyson in the third round, and I didn’t even realize. I thought I’d only put him down twice. I was so fixated on survival that I hadn’t even kept track of my own successes.

I just want to put this out into the universe.

If you are a homebrew developer of a GB, GBC, GBA, NES, SMS, MD/Genesis, N64, or PS1 game with a free version or a free demo of you game, I’d love to ship it with SuperStation as a physical or digital demo disk.
This is a very impressive PS1 game by @eliasdaler.bsky.social running on SuperStation.

Absolutely incredible
We ended up improving this further. Today, we finished validating SS1 v1.2 after two weeks of testing. I am confident in saying we have the best analog gaming platform.

5 analog video outputs + 4 analog audio outputs + HDMI, and all of them work simultaneously.

Nina Gaiden 4 is a great game. Absolutely brutal, just like it should be. There’s a nearly infinite skill ceiling that I came nowhere near even perceiving. That’s quality. I really should’ve done more izuna drops. I will in the replay.
