Looking at that Yukihito Morikawa interview again, it answers that question as well!

Tsunekazu Ishihara is cited as the person who introduced Morikawa to the Amiga. He was a graphic designer on Earthbound and Super Picross, both of which use the Topaz font on their anti-piracy screens.

Oh, there's no "probably" about it. One of the OP's TikTok posts shows that one of the AI-generated images has a forged Netter signature on it! www.tiktok.com/@liaaa.bia/p...

At the very least, that professor is certainly willing to use the gets-everything-wrong machine to generate educational infographics for Instagram.

The professor in question also has an Instagram with such… helpful?… diagrams as this one. Literally *not one* of these labels is correct! www.instagram.com/p/DOb3BkBEY1i/

The one other use of an Amiga font in a JP game that caught me off guard is the anti-piracy screen from Mother 2/EarthBound. Given HAL's history with Commodore, I suppose it'd make sense that someone there stuck with them.

Huh, this explains why the Amiga Topaz font shows up in both Sound Fantasy and the stage select screen from Jumping Flash. I'd always wondered about that!

For the curious, the original title of that video (which reproduces the issue on Google Translate):
なかなかご飯を食べない少食のリリーです　Great Pyrenees　グレートピレニーズ

Curiously, just changing the spaces to standard ASCII ones also changes the translation:
"Lily is a small eater who doesn't eat much. Great Pyrenees"

Nice!

Incidentally, the difference in the "Y" and proportional spacing aren't Tiertex's doing; later versions of DPaint also changed those. (My conversion was based off the original release, which is what I had as a kid.)

Neither the original tweet nor the screenshot here had any alt text (which seems all too on-brand for Newsom), so this was honestly more than my face-blind self got out of it!

("Hulk angel and...uh…two random dudes…laying hands on, uh, is that supposed to be Newsom? I'm not sure…")

I'd guess it's probably from some YouTuber doing a ranking/reaction video of bad game music (Billiard 2008 shows up in quite a few of those), but I wouldn't even know which specific one because there are so many.

I can't get over this part. It's like Adult Swim's infomercial parody "Live Forever As You Are Now" but taken completely seriously.

On that same note, I have issues with the assumption that people are only avoiding genAI at work because they haven't tried it.

I've played with it for some personal goof-off stuff, and seen it repeatedly get basic facts wrong. Why would this make me more likely to use it for my day job?!

This is totally me but with fonts.

(I once ranted on social media about an Edwardian-era period show having props printed in Adobe Myriad.)

Congrats to Faizan for his absolute "éclaircissement" of obscure words! #SpellingBee

This is truly the kind of competition that the centennial #SpellingBee deserves to be.
