alright, what's this now? I've learned that any time you see a sparkle next to something on a website, it means some feature has been cursed with AI integration. 🔍✨...? why has my search function been encumbered with AI?

A phrase I remember being coined by Yahtzee that gets more true as time goes on goes something like "how a game is made is as much a story as anything in the game itself", and it's a wonderful thing, truly

i think this is the ideal. you don't just see the video game(s), but the many, many hands that touched them, each hand with its own opinion and voice about the future of the medium. art is made by people, and it's a delight to be able to hear from so many of these people.

My nearly eight hour “multi-part” video about Digital Pictures, a leading force of FMV games in the 1990’s, premieres live in about a half hour. Featuring mountains of unreleased footage, interviews, internal documents, and canceled games. youtu.be/QM-I1G_UEr0?...

thinking about this comments i got... i actually have exactly one thing to say about moon child: it's cheerful and optimistic in a way that i think everyone yearns for right now. that's the end of this video essay about moon child thanks for watching

three youtube comments and a reply from the author. they read as follows: from niniv: Would love to see you do a video on current bluesky sensation Moon Child, since the rave-like OST and psychedelic visuals are getting a lot of people obsessed over it, and the devs have made the source files available to the world as a result. Somebody was even able to reverse engineer the stems to the AMIGA version title demo which is the song that launched the game's current popularity. from furious poultry: listen to this guy do that from eunaoseibrother467: yes and the reply from GST Channel: I do adore Moon Child and it's resurgence but I don't think I have anything new to say about it

in the mid/early 90s, everyone hated the word "multimedia". it does have a specific definition: text, audio, video, and data combined into a single package. but it was overhyped and lost all meaning. these usenet posts illustrate the sentiment. neat right? anyway, have you heard of AI?

michael grisham posts in 1993: Give a survey to any intelligent individual highlighting the specs and the prices, and of course the 3DO would not be chosen over the Jag. Slapping the word multimedia on a piece of hardware doesn't justify such a high pricetag. If they don't lower the price soon, 3DO will be the next CD-I, and no, that is not a good thing.Jim Carroll posts in 1994: What makes us think that telephone and cable companies know what the consumer wants? Listen to senior executives of Stentor, and you will hear the word 'multimedia' sprinkled throughout the conversation. The word is almost stated with reverence, as if multimedia is the solution to all the ills placed on the company by telecommunication deregulation. Yet, what makes us think these nice people at Stentor even have a clue what they are talking about? They certainly don't have a good track record. Do any of us remember Telidon? Alex? iNet?Rich Heimlich posts in 1995: >Rich, by saying that you are speaking for the average consumer (which >statistically, I believe you may be correct in saying), you beg the usual >attacks. Damn, why not just say you are referring to gamers and the non-guru >home user interesting in "multimedia" off-the-shelf products? I did. The majority of sound card owners is a mix of gamers and novice PC users. And I still don't like the word "multimedia". It's still draws a picture more like Encarta in my mind instead of something like say, Civilization.Brian Phillips posts in 1996: I am sick to death of the word "multimedia". I hate hearing it. I hate seeing it. I hate thinking about it. Now, I like the CONCEPT. And I like the hardware. BUT THE WORD HAS GOT TO GO. Or at least several new words need to be coined that can be used interchangeably so that I don't have to see "multimedia" EVERYWHERE. Right out of the box I am taking more notice of the sound card than of the CD drive; the drive is just another drive, and it comes with a few more programs. So, I've got a few new programs; my shareware collection grows all the time, so what's a few more programs? (Yeah, yeah, I know; don't lecture me. The CD programs are much more VAST than anything else.) But almost ALL my programs have had a new dimension opened up with the addition of sound. No, that should be: ...with the addition of SOUND. No more beep beep, beep beep, like the Roadrunner caught in a temporal loop. But I'm sure that the CD drive will earn its keep. It's just not as noticeable as the sound card.

i had a suspicion that this song was scored by someone else but couldnt find a source. well, the easiest way to find a source is to be publicly wrong 😭 sorry to David Javelosa!

a frame from my youtube video where the on-screen card reads: "Or maybe it's someone's pastiche of John's style?" followed by a comment from TheBricksterr that reads: "I'm fairly sure the SEGA Channel music you showed in the video is actually by David Javelosa, with no involvement from John Baker. He has a video on his channel, m1crowave, that says the compositions were by him. He also commented on the recent SEGA Channel documentary thing."
