KIRO 7 ran an article and two TV pieces on the theft of a box truck full of arcade PCBs, artwork, and machines from my workplace yesterday. If anyone in the Seattle area sees someone offloading a ton of CPS2/NAOMI/Neo Geo PCBs, stuff of that nature, please reach out.

Or in Español, Uno. Which will add a significant multiplier to the search difficulty.
Reminded of One for PS1, perhaps a contender for the single hardest game to search for online. I'm sure it seemed like such a good idea back in 1997.

The consumer side of me has silently wanted to be able to just launch Steam on my phone and have all my mobile games also available there, instead of dealing with multiple shops and game launchers

NEW: Valve is bringing Android apps to Steam. Not only can the Frame run side-loaded Android APKs, Valve will be inviting Android devs into its store.
Imagine what this means re: Google forced to crack open Android. Also: Meta Quest games are low-hanging fruit!

In my early 20s' I was an obnoxious contrarian. The thing about a contrarian phase is the harder something gets hyped, the more you smugly reject it. This campaign repulsed me into orbit
I remember everyone coming back from opening night utterly disappointed. But I didn't feel smug, I felt awful

I can’t overstate how this was the most hype shit in the universe. Phantom Menace’s campaigns intertwined with the early internet, but most people still needed to buy a ticket to a movie they didn’t care about to see the preview trailer for Phantom Menace. Downloading a trailer in ‘98 was a BIG ask.
November 10, 1998: Star Wars: The Phantom Menace:
Amazing teaser poster released #OTD, designed by Ellen Lee.
The title simply states, “Episode I,” but the long shadow of Darth Vader hangs over the film.

If you're gonna participate in this and you're using Clip Studio Paint, I created a .CLS file of the recommended TwilioQuest 76 color palette and uploaded it to my Google Drive. Hopefully that makes jumping straight to the drawing phase of your sprites a bit quicker!

The craziest thing I have to deal with now re: AI is what I call App Men. Every now and then, someone will come to the library and tell me they want to make an app "with AI", like "I want to make an app to identify plants, with AI". And every time, they don't know anything about plants or AI.

Every time I do this, I wonder if I am going to hit some max year where the Saturn/Dreamcast's bios wasn't coded to save a year number that high.
Like the y2k issue, but someone on the team needed to optimize as much as possible and thought no one would be turning these things on after 30 years.

We are losing our minds together, he and I. Unfortunately I can't fix mine with a brand new battery.

Amazing! We are going to need a Mamdani not just to replace every GOP/MAGA, but for every centrist and establishment Dem as well, and tonight proves that can finally ... possibly ... happen.
Q: It's election day in NYC. Did you vote for Mamdani or Cuomo?
Schumer: "Look, I voted, and I look forward to working with the next mayor to help NYC."
