My wife sent me this video saying "this is for you," and she's right (as usual). Matt Damon and French astronaut Thomas Pesquet discuss their respective professions, the tension between family life and work, and everything related to space exploration and cinema.

"cozy game" is not a video game genre, it's a marketing buzzword. Don't change my mind.
Sharing this video by Not Malcom because I care about other creators. If you accept game keys, sponsorships, payments, etc. to play / talk about a product you need to make that relationship clear to your audience. Failing to do so could result in legal consequences. www.youtube.com/watch?v=l84V...

The people who run the AI slop news site retroshell, also sell gaming T-shirts on playerclothing.com. They claim that "each tee is the result of almost 10 years of development." Here's their mission statement. Let's take a look at the tees.
Selon jeuxvideo.com, contenu concis, efficace et percutants = anecdote vieille de 10 ans, pas mise à jour, régurgitée avec des erreurs et illustrations 100% IA (mention spé à l'image de PCB qui met la sauvegarde dans la ROM). Tout pour faire des vues... www.youtube.com/shorts/4tCm3...
Co-founder of Graveyard Keeper dev Lazy Bear Games regularly posts AI art & asks for help with AI gen code Going as far as feeding his own games art into the slop machine The game itself is from 2018 so it predates the stuff, but they announced a sequel & I expect it to be full of AI-gen slop
Wikipedia articles about matcha tea in EN and FR. One focuses more on Japan and the other on China. It goes to show that multiple sources are always better than one and learning multiple languages offers invaluable advantages. This is not about green tea.
The last warrior of the 90s console war is crashing out again, about a game they don't own and have never played. For someone who comments under every YouTube video about the SNES and laments the lack of new releases, he couldn't be bothered to buy it... inceptionalnews.wordpress.com/2024/04/08/m...
My Thoughts on Xeno Crisis for SNES
Since the game has now started shipping to Kickstarter backers and is also available on the Bitmap Bureau online store too, I figured I’d share my thoughts. Now, I don’t have an origina…

While I agree with the sentiment, how is it a "random bush"? It's the only bush on the entire map that's clearly blocking a path. A very suspicious looking bush if you ask me. I think it's very good and very intentional level design, that's the opposite of random.
The Buffy subreddit is fascinating. It's just like the series, an interesting blend of comedy, horror and drama.
Feel free to widely share this curated easy to understand #Satellaview knowledge that I just posted on my blog. I didn't want to overscope it but I spent a lot of time explaining a curated list of games for those who have no idea what the Satellaview is. luigiblood.neocities.org/blog/2026-01...

Looking up Mega Drive games, I just stumbled onto a content farm channel called Retro Pocket. The thumbnails, the scripts, the audio, the descriptions, all of it is AI generated. 1000 videos in exactly 2 years. The few non-bot comments are eating this like it's their last meal. We're so cooked.
YouTube channel BrewSolves is still doing the James Somerton method of turning old books into videos. On top of barely paraphrasing the book and the FBI report, I noted 3 errors in 3 min. Also, on-screen quotes and b-roll footage add no value to the story. Just read Wikipedia or the fucking book.
1/ Oriental Pearl made a video in 2022 calling out the "language gurus" of YouTube. She and her guest make good points I listed here. She also emphasizes multiple times the exploitative nature of making money from a "position of power" (being a big YouTuber) with false claims.
"This page may contain affiliate links" actually means "all the links are affiliate links and nobody in our staff has read the FTC regulations on affiliate marketing which is why this message is buried at the bottom of the page in a tiny font and a color that only bees can see."
In 2005, I wrote an article called "Inventing Akromiya" about how the government of Uzbekistan made up a group called Akromiya to justify a massacre of civilian protesters. Twenty years later, the US is more like Uzbekistan, and I wrote "Inventing Antifa": sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/inventing-...
Inventing Antifa
In 2005, the Uzbek government invented a group called “Akromiya” to justify massacring protesters. Now I worry the US government will do the same.

Most of the so-called "apolitical" content creators are straight white men. Go figure!
After a year of work I've finally released my adventure game. It's called Maura and Ash, and it's designed for MS-DOS. You can download it or play it in the browser right now! moralrecordings.itch.io/mauraash #msdos #pointandclick #adventuregame

The ending for Secret of the Four Winds also uses stolen assets: Last Blade - Moriya stage and Last Blade 2 - Graveyard stage. The foreground trees are from Far East of Eden: Kabuki Klash (Hudson, 1995) and the cityscape from a random gif from at least 2017.
