today's small prose poem from Maureen Thorson is a marvel, but that first sentence — "It’s nearly Christmas." — just about gave me a panic attack.

There is a parallel universe WWE Universe where Gunther debuts 15 years before he does in this one, in the era of Cryme Tyme and do-rag Vince, and turns Cryme Tyme into a stable where he is known as "Guntha".

Sometimes I glimpse the future
in the evenings. It appears
like a doe on silencing moss,
foraging among pocked leaves,
drinking the last light in the pools.

Feel like no one is talking about this, but ray tracing mode on Cyberpunk 2077 on base PS5 runs so much smoother than it did a year or two ago.
Using on my current play through. Eminently playable … crazy because wouldn’t use it for more than 10-15 minutes before.

"[P]layers still had to rely on a bit of imagination to fully see the things game developers were trying to depict at the time". A Conan O'Brien bit, 'it's like books are movies that you get to direct in your head!'; old GFX/no voiceover = direct game in your head!

Koji Sugimoto, a Square Enix programmer who has worked on retro Final Fantasy games, doesn't get why anyone would want to go back to early game eras
Final Fantasy dev kinda hates the PS1 graphics nostalgia

The fact that Sonic the Hedgehog and friends is the picture AI chooses for "Freedom Fighters".
I was specifically thinking of the IO Interactive game, but it's funnier when you're *not* thinking about that lol.

Thinking about this ancient relic of a website that was a very popular Yu-Gi-Oh! destination back in the day, made by a guy named Edo. He also programmed the card game into Visual Basic, which was probably better than any of the official offerings!

Playing through Mass Effect a second time, and all I think when I see that line of light going through the head of a Geth is "astigmatism".

Think Macromedia Fireworks 8 borked my Windows 11 install so finally have to give up the ghost on it after a very, very long time.
George R.R. Martin said on an episode of Conan that he still uses Wordstar 4.0 on his "writing computer" (as apart from his regular computer). Empathize.
