This week on zilogandmoto.com, Episode #309. Alex Kidd in Miracle World was supposed to be Sega's answer to Super Mario Brothers. I think we all know how that worked out, but is still a good title?

Next week on zilogandmoto.com, Episode #309. For some reason, it took me going through a quarter of the library before I finally got around to Sega's first mascot. Which probably says a lot more about how Sonic changed the landscape than anything else.

No. There's no middle ground. If your game/movie/album uses AI, I won't play/watch/listen to it. It's that fucking simple.
"Surely there's a middle ground here?" The CEO of Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead says people "jump to extreme takes" when debating generative AI, and that there needs to be more nuance in the discussion.
