Back from Japan! All I bought was a janku Famicom and some microswitches (nothing special about them, but this old guy had a booth of components and the price was good!) Will post pics when I try to power it up. But for now will clean up Rick and I started the arcade port of SSA. Happy Canada Day!

So ... long story short, I was supposed to start a new job, and the project it was tied to got abruptly cancelled. I have to start commission work until a new project starts, but while I figure out how I would even price that, I'm adding new YCHs.

Finally visited Beauty and the Beast Disneyland Tokyo as a guest. This was the last attraction I got to touch as an Imagineer It was surreal to stand in front of the staircase again. Made me sad and nostalgic I still think I made the right choice moving home, but I never wanted to stop doing that.

Face reveal! Me in front of staircase in Tokyo at Beauty and the Beast.

I keep seeing "If you can't make 'xxx', FUCKING DON'T". You ever stop for two fucking seconds and think that maybe that exclusionist fucking attitude is WHY people are stealing everyone's work for machine creation? (also, fuck BSky's short fucking messages.. next post...)

First batch of NFG Heavy Industries Arcade Knobs is about to get shipped out! Check out @cqbarcade.bsky.social soon, if you want one. They're the exclusive source in Australia, and the only one for the world so far! And, gasp! Prototypes!? 🤯

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is targeting LGBTQ stories. They are trying to control what you see on television. This government overreach is dangerous...

And there’s the impetus to finally use a different search engine. Google’s been steadily getting worse at the one job it should be doing, and this all sounds deeply vile. Fuck this pathetic, desperate railroading of alleged AI.

Google is transforming Search from a list of links into an AI-powered experience filled with conversational answers, autonomous agents, and interactive interfaces — a shift that could further reduce traffic to publishers across the web.
