This sucks so much. There are articles about it, and PSA is like "Wow, we are preserving this special lost media experience," by sticking it in a slab and not dumping the data. All they care about is preserving the value of investments. This is the antithesis of video game preservation!!!!

Just found out that the person who discovered a fully functional cartridge containing the exclusive 2005 PokePark Fishing Rally download play minigame decided to preserve it... in a PSA grading slab.

Dumping the ROM would cost nothing, has no risk, and you can still brag about being the only person in the world to own an authentic physical copy, but putting it into a slab so not even YOU can play it says volumes about how you only want to flex that you have it and no one else does.

I've made a stupid MTG deck recently using this dumbass as the commander and it's just been a blast.. but the issue is that due to the nature of the deck, everyone I play with is afraid of it. It's maddening, I have no idea whether my deck is actually strong or if people are just intimidated

Scan of Magic the Gathering card. It reads: "Maular, the Next Evolution
{5}{G}{G}

Legendary Creature — Dinosaur Mutant

Rulebreaker — A deck with this commander can have creature cards with mana value 7 or greater of any color identity and any basic land cards.

Whenever a creature you control with mana value 7 or greater attacks, double its power and toughness until end of turn.

An unnatural ruler for the natural world.

Generative AI is great y'all, Steam can't handle slop submissions, Humble slop-deleted 2FA and account settings, Microsoft is down, everything is getting hacked, open source is being strangled, search is destroyed, and the remains of the world economy are dependent on one penis. Leaps and bounds.

The thing I'll leave you behind with is this GenAI exposes a lot more wrongs than just bad code. Even the worst code bot unlikely generates stuff leading to a 431. This is a matter of human beings arrogant enough to fire real talent because now 'they can just do it themselves'; running with scissors
