the duality of man

I've been wondering what's actually up here for a while + you're not going to believe this but the answer is, once again, private equity. www.avclub.com/shout-factor...

new wolfenstein looks like shit

I've been using Qobuz for a year and while it hasn't been perfect, they're taking a lot of Ws. Obviously I'd rather they just ban AI shit entirely but as far as I know they're the only music streamer doing the bare minimum of flagging it.

Seeing Damon, Jamie, Del, and Dan the Automator all onstage at the Gorillaz show last night was a big “wow, I can die happy” moment for me. Absolutely FANTASTIC show.

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

I hate talking about AI every day but I recognize the active danger it represents to nature and the human inspiration that has made my life worthwhile. I cannot overlook the end goal the obscenely wealthy have always had for this tech: to squeeze the rest of us even further out of a modest living.

Ultrafast #ScanlineSunday this week, but I finally have a working 3DO and the first thing I wanted to try on it was Alone in the Dark 2. It’s VERY hitchy, but the vibes are immaculate.

i am begging people to make gamefaqs for new releases... make me an ascii map, even be opinionated about how much you hate a certain mechanic, anything to save us from 500 websites listing the same information chock full of ads

Thank fuck... It's about time.

Today, I decided to dump all my thoughts about A.I. infecting the retro and Saturn scene into one cohesive article. In short, I am certifiably sick of this.

SEGA SATURN, SHIRO!@segasaturnshiro.bsky.social · 2w ago

Is there any harm in using AI to work on — or entirely create — projects for the Sega Saturn and elsewhere in the retro gaming scene? Yes, PandaMonium says in this opinion column, equating such work to digital asbestos: www.segasaturnshiro.com/2026/09/24/c... #sega #saturn #segasaturn #retrogaming

Out of curiosity, have any of the more CRT-inclined on my feed ever sanded/buffed the scratches out of an old TV? I found a junked set that I love the look of, but it’s in need of repair and the screen is fairly torn up. I’m hoping to make it a project, but unsure of my screen-restoring odds.

I am part of this round of layoffs and am seeking new opportunities. If your team needs a narrative director / storyteller, please reach out.

Xbox reportedly set to announce second round of layoffs this week Report suggests platform holder will "consolidate several of its game studios" amid ongoing restructuring www.gamesindustry.biz/xbox-reporte...

The regular barrage of these headlines is just crushing. Loving games and caring about the people who make them feels so simple and natural if you’ve been in this field, I have no idea why it’s so out of reach for some people.

Gears of War: E-Day Story Director Laid Off Just Four Days After Celebrating The Game Going Gold

For no particular reason, I feel I should mention I updated my RPG Fan Translation Directory a few days ago with a bunch of new/missing titles, and also a very important change in the last paragraph.

Life is constantly shifting and changing, but I will always, ALWAYS love being a part of a good VO session.

The game itself isn’t totally my jam (think a slower, less anarchic Dokapon), but the PCE CD Dragon Half game really does nail Ryusuke Mita’s art style, and I gotta respect it for that.

There are still ways you can contribute to fan translations even if you don't read Japanese or hacking skills. In particular, you can help playtest translations. You can help edit trailers to help spread the word. Some projects would probably even benefit from people with genuine management skills.

When translators say they hate doing MTPE because it's faster to just do it from scratch and results in better material, we're not exaggerating. If I was a proofreader and a translator handed me this, I would immediately tell the PM to fire them. No translation is genuinely better than an MT in loc.

Unsurprisingly it looks real bad

proceeding with my weekend, unbothered by the problems around me

Some people will remember Mike McFarland for his acting, and rightly so. He was a PHENOMENAL actor who knew how to have fun. There was heart in every performance. Others will remember Mike as a talented and supportive Director. Helping craft stories with care & guiding amazing performances. (1/4)

is anyone maintaining a list or repository of new fan translations that did not involve soil hallucinations or is it just a "figure it out yourself" thing at this point?
