Thought I'd check in on chatgpt and see if it had gotten any better at game history research. It hallucinated an unreleased "Wizards and Warriors IV" project for NES and when I asked what the source was it made up a tweet by...me.

Did You Know?
The Inuyasha mustaches episode from Adult Swim's 2004 April Fools' stunt was considered potentially lost…until now!
Thanks to olimarfunk and @danmanshow.bsky.social we have a near complete rip (with a few minutes of The Big O) digitized.
Please help us find the whole night!

A rare example of Vault Corporation's "PROLOK" copy protection scheme on a 3.5" floppy disk.
Vault used some method - probably a laser - to remove the oxide coating from one side of the mylar disk, making it impossible to write to.

The games business is about games. If you’re in the games business, and somehow (as often happens) your company somehow is now focused on something else (AI, XR, “IP,” acquisitions, etc.) you’re in for a period of struggle. Everyone will wonder what’s wrong. But you know. It’s about games. Gameplay.
