in honor of the IBM PC's 45th anniversary today, here is the original prototype motherboard! which side is your favorite?
Just discovered this game tonight. When you and the physics get in a groove, it's pure sex. Such a cool game. Strictly time trials, but excellent haptics/sound/camera work and beautiful art. Mediocre menus, but you're not in there long. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wR8L...

I built pinbetween.com as a fun project and launched it (beta) a few days ago. It's free. No advertisements. It shows you two machines at a time and asks which you'd rather play right now. It uses cool statistics and math to build up a new type of rankings. Hopefully it's fun too! Try it out?
I’ve always wanted to hold a small pinball tournament where the only rule was that you’re not allowed to move Meatloaf.
I just learned about LocalSend. Do you guys know about this? It can basically Airdrop to/from a PC from an iPhone or whatever. No account/cloud required. I've been emailing myself like a chump for decades. localsend.org

Dust off your VR headset. Wrath: Aeon of Ruin is the best VR game I've played in a long time. I missed the original when it came out a couple years ago, but it's a great modern game made with classic id tech. The VR conversion is artful and feels totally native. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bror...

I was never a comic guy buy I watched The Maxx on MTV in the summer of 1995. I loved it so much I ended up taping them, replaying on loop, and buying the comics where the series left off. That series hit me at the right age and had an oddly profound impact. Thanks, Sam.

I'm six years late to this party but we watched the Netflix film Klaus tonight. I was skeptical but It's really freaking good! Very unique animated film that takes itself just seriously enough. Clever story with an original art style. Loved it.
I'm bored today so I decided it's time to announce the secret project.

I've been so looking forward to this game. Played it at Day of the Devs and it is sublime. Raw gameplay. Sick style.
Kimmo Lahtinen@gimblll.com · 12mo agoThis is Sektori! A twin-stick shooter I've been making (and documenting the journey) since April 2021. And it finally launched TODAY on Steam, PS5 and Xbox! Here's a fresh launch trailer, all shares highly appreciated. More game info in replies. #indiegame #ps5 #xbox #steam #indiedev #gamedev
What does it take to get me to buy this $320 LEGO Christmas tree? Put an adorable little Santa pinball machine and two arcade games in it. I'm helpless. www.lego.com/en-us/produc...
Here's a quick example: The first image is the full UHD frame, the second is a 1280x720 1:1 pixel crop of the light cycles. Their film stock had more resolution than the source frames; scanned at 4K, you can now finally see the fine detail of individual pixels. Had no idea that detail was there!
Okay this is a really nutty move by Nintendo, and I love it, but honestly the best experience you can possibly have playing these games is the open source emulator on Quest.
UploadVR@uploadvr.com · last yr.UPDATE: Nintendo revealed that the accessories will launch on February 17, priced at $100 for the plastic version with a stand or $25 for the cardboard handheld version.
I've been (re)using the same PC case for 15 years but I've had cooling issues with the latest games (RTX 4080), so I just spent the evening swapping into a new Fractal Design North. Lovely case, but this is my first PC without a CD-ROM drive. Not that I ever used it, but... still a somber moment.

It wouldn't be California Extreme without discovering a crash bug on VCTR-SCTR at 11:30pm the night before the show, running to my hotel room to squash it on my laptop, and racing back down to test it on the cabinet. Good times! #CAX2025

What is the #1 go-to site for 3D printable stuff these days? It feels like Thingiverse is no longer it. It's gotten uncomfortably monetized.
I'm trying to imagine the shrewd boardroom logic that led to the Switch 2 "Welcome Tour" costing $10 instead of being free. Not really getting anywhere.
