Truly unbelievable to be honest.

Oh very nice. I'd be interested to hear what exactly the 'metal' sync mode does, I haven't been able to find an explanation anywhere!

You’re doing a jx-10 emulation!?

I feel like it was definitely a performance consideration with Wizardry on the Apple II. You can see the redraw as you play and how much time would be added if the window was bigger. Perhaps it became a matter of style among its imitators.

ABC upper echelons reading rationalist fanfic.

If, when I wrote this piece in 2022, you’d asked me whether Boy Swallows Universe would’ve been judged best book of the century so far in a poll of 288K readers, I think I would’ve said, yeah naaaaah. But here we are.

Critic Swallows Book | Sydney Review of Books To call into question the literary value of Dalton’s fiction is not to disqualify the pleasure and imaginative release that hundreds of thousands of readers have found in his novels, especially Boy Sw...

Re-reading @catrionamp.bsky.social's review of ABC Radio National listeners' dismal pick for best novel of the 21st century to calm myself down. sydneyreviewofbooks.com/reviews/crit...

Watched the 50th anniversary doc on the ABC. it was the briefest possible summary of political events, accompanied by detailed interviews with multiple journalists about the signed photographs they own of themselves in the background of historic events.

Profits are not down at all. They are up! The chart does not say profits are down at all lol

Their family is not dying. It says they are making a profit.

The chart says that they make money on most of their queries though. The loss making chips are a small portion. Right most column.

That is not what the chart says.

What loss? Chart shows an overall profit.

Back from a pixel art hiatus, I guess I should post here! Have a sneak peak of some lavish mansion toilet facilities #pixelart #gamedev

Antifascism is real.
Antifa groups are real.
Trump’s ‘war zone’ in Portland is fake.

A Shakespearian Table. Some v. interesting comments here: profadamroberts.substack.com/p/a-table-of...

I think people admire his ruthlessness. Like they see this performance as a cynical display to pursue his enemies.

I love John Le Carre but most of his novels are like this when you examine them closely. Recent night manager adaptation a good example. Great show tbh

Sounds like torture to read. Thank you for enduring it on our behalf. Very entertaining!

imo the gold levels do not fit well in the game and should be skipped. Minority opinion though. See what you think.

There are so many small articulations of ideas that eluded me for years reading these books in here. Thank you.

Thank you

Who's Afraid of Zohran Mamdani? And what it means to be an immigrant on July 4th

New, from me:
The Times published a piece accusing a man born in Africa as claiming to be African-American in a failed college admission.

They viewed this story to be newsworthy enough to grant anonymity to a eugenicist working with hacked personal data.

Did he post about the insane mamdani cremieux story?

I look forward to it!

I read your very personal and thoughtful piece. Thanks for writing it. It helped me appreciate a game I reacted very negatively to. You spent a lot of time in the piece anticipating critiques, only some of them mine - I never found the game that 'weird'. So I get the tone of this thread now.

I will, thanks

This blank appeal to authority is typical of kojima apologia. I'd be interested in a more substantive defense of, the long, extremely derivative dialogue scenes in death stranding 2.

His games have 10 hours of cutscenes in them. what do you expect?

Disagree. Kojima criticism doesn’t boil down to that. He makes bad movies and if he was exposed to a wider audience it would be a disaster
