Im legit curious what EA properties people are still clinging to with genuine enthusiasm? like this deal sucks, but EA has been a corpse to me for 20~ years the last EA game I remember buying is NFS III: Hot Pursuit in 1998. American Mcgees Alice (2000) Mirrors Edge and Dead Space are 2008

poking back on twitter to see how far the two timelines have diverged it strikes me that 90% of the content on twitter is just stolen, pilfered. nothing is ever accredited to the artist or creator all the tweets are like: "this developer is working on a new ps1 game" but wont say who it is stolen
One of my goals with Jazzpunk was to create the game's soundtrack using mostly synthesizers and effects that would've existed "at the time" ie: 1960s. I had built two EMS "VCS3" synthesizers, so I used these in conjunction with many different spring reverbs and tape echos machines, some were DIY

when the fuck did T-shirts become 50 bucks?? theres so many bootleg anime/90s/metal/vhs t-shirt companies now, all making knock off "faux vintage" evangelion, GITS, metal gear, snes shirts, and they're all like 40-60 bucks. what a scam

there are so many artists in the 90s that should never been given access to Romplers

These fantastic games are all under $5 on the PlayStation sale. I think you should play them. - Jazzpunk ($3.74) - IKARUGA ($4.99) - Cat Quest ($3.24) - A Juggler's Tale ($2.69) - White Shadows ($3.99)
this is the only sane post about forest fires Ive seen in weeks We cant dredge the entire planet and burn it continuously for centuries, eventually that will come back at us, ffs we're releasing millions of years of trapped solar energy in the span of less than 70 years. whole epochs of energy
Marie Le Conte@youngvulgarian.marieleconte.com · last wk.I say this with nothing but love in my heart for the fatherland but can you imagine any other country looking at wildfires and thinking "quick, get a philosopher on the line"
Im sure this will be controversial or some people will clamber out of the woodwork to howl about this but just looking at the lineage, I think one of sega's weakest pillars was its industrial design, which is especially true for its controllers I want their competitor's controllers every time
honestly Ive been like this since I was a child, using a game genie. I have no interest in a game's difficulty, I want to see the art, the music, the story. I dont find dying and replaying the same area over and over to be a fun loop, Im not wired that way
Cheryl Lynn Eaton@cheryllynneaton.bsky.social · last wk.One thing that definitely changes as you get older is your opinion about mods and cheats for games. If I have to cheat to pass a level that would take me 26 tries without help? I am cheating. Without remorse. With glee, in fact.
Watched Toys (1992) last night easily some of the BEST production design of that era, rivaling the work of Tim Burton during his Good Years I can see why it failed. its two biggest weaknesses are... the WORST soundtrack Ive ever heard (not hyperbole), and a misuse of Robin Williams talents
I cannot in a million years imagine wearing a knitted sweater or really any knitted garment with large wooly loops
When I tweeted this a couple weeks ago and people came out of the woodwork to argue over semantics THIS is what I was talking about. new games on old hardware! it can be done. I would love to see more of it we dont need the latest greatest hardware anymore, that era is over tinyurl.com/58728pem

ʟᴜɪs ʜᴇʀɴᴀɴᴅᴇᴢ ⚡@beetlenaut.bsky.social · 3w agosnes, ps1, gamecube, dreamcast, ps2 are all defunct consoles. they no longer require any kind of licensing to make games for them Id love to see a blossoming of GOOD unity/godot tools and exporters for those consoles, so that homebrew can evolve beyond random curiosities into more full games
this building, along with robarts, science center, and CN tower, created what would be my life long love affair with concrete modernist architecture Toronto has so many great examples of this style, scattered over a couple of decades (60s-70s mostly)
LCC municipal@lccmunicipal.bsky.social · 2w agoThe Medical Sciences building itself is a piece of bulky brutalism from the late 1960s with Ted Bieler and Robert Downing contributing to the exterior design.
my one big takeaway from this years pile of Showcases is that Unreal Engine 5 has co-opted or sort of, I dare say, polluted the visual language of games, where nothing stands out theres a kind of mediocrity that comes with being "photorealistic I guess". PBR substance everywhere, but not distinct
if you do heavy construction before noon I hope they send you to a layer of hell thats just trucks backing up infinitely and jackhammers on concrete that never breaks
its especally easy to turn down a million dollars if you have millions of dollars

todays thrift store find: a copy of "D" for MS-DOS, two disc cd-rom. Produced by Studio WARP in 1995, directed by the late Kenji Eno didn't know this had a US PC release, honestly. I saw D on the jewel case spine and was like "no way this is actually D" and it was! this game is all FMVs

"friendslop" games (not my terminology) seem to have replaced malls, as places that teens hangout whats interesting is that many of these games are often non violent, not a typical COD server. meaning they're just spaces give kids *spaces* so that can hang out away from their helicopter parents
This. This is the correct, science-backed, responsible framing. Wish more news outlets did it like the CBC.
'Just stop burning fossil fuels.' Scientists stress that our smoky skies only have one true fix | CBC News
Smoky skies in Toronto have led to new scrutiny of government efforts to fight fires and manage forests. But scientists say the realistic way to tackle the smoke is fighting climate change itself.
