So the ads for the Friend AI wearable didn't last long I see

Love knowing that the Andrew Cuomo campaign is literally lighting billionaire dollars on fire trying to convince me to vote for this goob with one of the most uninspiring ads I've ever seen

Depressing and demoralizing to watch NYU's key decision makers spend their time and money lacing this "campus in the city" more barricades and barriers.

The only purpose of these hard architectures is to limit protest capacity and make it easier to blockade these spaces or kettle students

come watch/listen as @superjoost.bsky.social and I unpack this semester's student gameplay survey, including this hilarious graph that says the kids are 100% done with VR

Does anyone...want one of these? Literally don't know what I'd do with a Japanese copy of my own book (besides dutifully admire it)

Do I want to know why Caesar 3 has a... "Fast movement" control option? This is an isometric God's eye view game

God you know what I want to play using an Xbox controller: CAESAR III

"But how would someone read the manual??" you might ask! Well did you consider pasting the entire manual as a raw text document inside a scroll box

(The bonus of this video is getting to hear me cackle in the background)

Baffled by this banner art for conquest of the longbow that definitely is not from any of the original games illustrations or manual art
August 13, 2025 at 11:53 PM
Actually the original game was not designed to be played with a mouse (It could be played with one, but was not "designed" to be) But who cares about accurately representing your historical back catalog in todays world of cross-platform chum distribution

There are just THREE save slots, represented as console save cartridges??? What in the world is going on

At long last you can play The Colonel's Bequest the way Roberta Williams intended...on a television with an Xbox controller?

This is bad. Utterly, indescribably, unbelievably bad.
