So the streamer Ludwig recently found out that one of his earliest regular viewers, who was trans, passed away and tonight he's doing a charity stream for the Trevor Project. So far he's raised over $46,000 in about 5 hours. www.twitch.tv/ludwig

In Super Mario Galaxy, the stars on the letters of the logo spell "u r mr gay", while for the movie it says "he mr gay". This is because you are watching Mario, not playing him.

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

I've been trying this game off-stream, and I definitely agree with both these points. The genAI VO and how PvP works are dissonant with the spirit of the game. There's such a great recipe here, and then those two ingredients are shoehorned in.
The AI use in ARC Raiders is trivial and childish, and honestly likely wasted more time to satisfy the CEO's demand rather than helped development. Not to mention pivoting to PvP.

Video game leaders telling people they’ll get left behind if they don’t embrace AI aren’t people worth listening to or respecting. They aren’t interested in quality _and_ if they lead a successful studio, they’ve fully misunderstood why their studio was successful in the first place.

Apparently, Keighley doesn't have time to reply to @alyssamerc.bsky.social's request for comment, but he sure does have time to post about his latest business deal surrounding the awards on LinkedIn.

Much of the hand wringing, imo, is over a critic explicitly saying they are judging the moral fabric of a piece of art because of the tools used to create it and it’s making some folks feel uncomfortable and shamed. The people who feel that way should sit with that feeling.

I know I’m the eternal optimist but it really feels like things are shifting. Almost all the replies on Future Class stuff is “how dare they.” Almost all the replies on Squenix news are “I won’t play their stuff, then.” Almost all replies on the stuff about R* ‘layoffs’ support the workers.

Zohran Mamdani polled +40% on men under 30. So we wasted all that time on all those think pieces about how we need a Joe Rogan for the left, when what we actually needed were *policies* for the left.

Fun fact: this tech worked *so well* that nobody noticed it and LucasArts stopped using it because it was more work/money for something that went unnoticed, even if it was literally The Coolest Thing Ever
Forever charmed by Monkey Island II's iMUSE implementation, Lucasfilm/Arts' sound engine for smoothly and naturally transitioning from the musical beats and moods of one screen to another.
It's something you lose out on in the CD audio based re-releases of this, Dark Forces, and X-Wing/Tie Fighter.

Parasite Eve (1998) was an RPG from Square for the Sony PlayStation. In SquareSoft's first M-rated title, the power of mitochondria awakens in New York City on Christmas Eve! Rookie cop, Aya Brea, is swept into a quest to track down and stop the horror before it is too late. (a cellular thread)

Happy 25th birthday to one of my favorite launch games ever. Please celebrate by being completely blindsided by the boatman's voice actor after spending a full minute watching his boat dock to a pensive backing track
