GP Advance was a 3D GBA racing game in development at Italian studio Prograph in 2003. Marketed as having "Psx-level graphics", using an in-house engine, the game featured up to 45k polygons on screen, running smoothly. In the end, no publisher could be found and the game was cancelled.

America’s Dumbest Billionaires Fail to Stop Zohran Mamdani - The American Prospect
It’s encouraging on many levels: New York City didn’t submit to a campaign of flagrant bigotry from disgraced two-time loser Andrew Cuomo, and Americans, particularly young ones, can still be politically inspired by a good candidate with a good message.

Y'all, I know two hours is a big time commitment, but this panel I arranged and hosted last month is one of the most important things I've ever done for video game history. The launch of the NES is a crazier story than most people realize, and my guests were extremely generous with their memories.
Hear about the NES US launch 40 years ago from the people that made it happen: Gail Tilden, Bruce Lowry and Lance Barr with @frankcifaldi.bsky.social from the @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social moderating! Panel recording at youtu.be/f2WDfsiLiRA

people like Palmer Luckey understand, either explicitly or implicitly, that retro tech and retro games are an accessible pathway to right wing radicalization. the politics of "remember the past when things were simpler and better?" are only a few steps removed from MAGA, unless you're very careful
a reminder that ModRetro is run by Palmer Luckey, a huge Trump backer, a self described "radical Zionist," and, quite literally, an arms dealer via his other company, Anduril

Worked some unanticipated overtime this month, so treated myself to the Geeks-Line PS2 Anthology. Three volumes (!) of history, layman's explanations of the hardware, details of every hardware iteration, and descriptions/screenshots of every game released in any region. A serious reference work.
