I haven't brought this up in a while on here (felt like I should give other people the stage for a while), but I am still out of work, and running out of money to keep my bills/loans covered.

ko-fi.com/wildweasel - Donations highly appreciated. Pointers towards employment, even more so.

borrowed time, easter egg, macintosh (1985) 'enter the command 'burger' at any time to get beheaded with an axe. this is part of a long-running inside joke on the part of interplay co-founder rebecca "burger" heineman.' tcrf.net/Borrowed_Tim...

Oh hey, this is me! Constance is a fast and fluid upcoming metroidvania that unfortunately chose to push its barely-there ~mental health journey~ angle to the fore, instead of the ~we made a very pretty and really quite well designed metroidvania~ parts instead:

Constance is a metroidvania that wants its monsters to mean something
I want them to mean something, too.

Happy 38th anniversary to the Max Headroom Signal Intrusion Incident. Here is some footage of the actual Max Headroom for absolutely no reason.
At the conclusion of the episode, Max Headroom once again goes into mouthpiece mode to rant about having to shill for car parts. It is completely incongruous to the rest of the episode so I have trimmed it out for you all here.

Letting guests know in advance that opening the shampoo 3 times, but closing it only twice, waiting thirty seconds, and then turning the bar of soap counterclockwise is how you get the towel to appear
gonna repurpose one as a towel for the Shower of Druaga
Knowing that aging Namco fans like nothing more than a nice comfy snooze, Kadokawa are releasing 3 Namcot Famicom Box Blankets

Printed on both sides with the front & rear of the boxes, they come in replica boxes, all with a 16 page FC Namcot game booklet. 3,300円 each

At some point I'm going to have to dig out and plug in my Xbox 360 again. Because, once again, I've come into possession of a game that is just Not in the Backward Compatibility list.

Firefox hit me today with the fucking AI bot popups

discovered some of the browser .ml .* shit i'd disabled in about:config had *switched back on*

someone at @mozilla.org is playing fuck fuck games with users' preferences.

hey @mozilla.org who is responsible for this?
September 9, 2025 at 11:45 PM
The Mozilla project heard all the feedback regarding machine-learning and AI-generation model in Firefox, nearly all of it against adding those features, and chose to add them anyway.

You claim you believe in giving people a choice, and then you forcibly make choices for people behind their backs.
Thank you for the feedback David. It's important to note that these features are optional and local models are downloaded if the feature is used.

Skip it entirely if you want. We understand this won't please everyone but we strongly believe in giving people a choice in how they browse.

Vectorman's soundtrack isn't the technical triumph the rest of the game is but leans into the synthetic and buzzy sounds of FM to create something that sounds surprisingly analog and organic. It uses what the Genesis is commonly criticized for as its strengths. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEKq...

Thread of GEMS games that actually sound good. This'll be mainly going through my uploads but feel free to link to suggestions of your own. First up, Demolition Man, a game that is both compositionally good but also took care in its sound design. "Library" is my fave. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuZ5...

I'll cosign this too, because this really is misinformation being countered (check alt text!)

It's like saying Unity is terrible based on a bunch of people cobbling together games in 2013-2014 from stock assets, and they became the most visible use of it for a while.

Silksong is a Unity game.
I'm invoking what little clout I have as a prominent uploader and fan of Sega Genesis/Mega Drive music to call upon the community to stop this already. This technically naive bit of misinformation has been bouncing around for decades at this point. (see alt text)

gahhhhhh genAI cat content on my timeline.

blocking the person who posted it, and unfollowing the account that put it on my timeline to begin with.

real cats are cute enough on their own, just show me real cats, it's not that hard.

I must briefly be an Art History Student here: the process of digitizing an Impressionist painting in this way completely changes the context Impressionism itself. A low-res GIF file is small enough that the tiny paint pips become invisible, but are in turn, replaced by larger pixels.

Amazing.

Needing to rip some more Blu-Rays in this batch of movies, and it occurs to me I have never plugged the BD-R drive into the current desk machine. Which means MakeMKV isn't installed. Which means I gotta compile it again.

It's a good thing I know where to find all the guides really fast now.

all media is constantly in competition with all other media, past & present, for our attention. which means curated spaces are more needed than ever... so make your own!!!! there are so many niches looking to be fulfilled, and tastemakers are now an essential part of most people's lives.
