There is no way to support SNK, Mod Retro etc and divest yourself from the abhorrent actions of their owners. Every penny you put in their pockets helps to keep them doing what they do outside of selling some games & hardware.
One begets the other. You become a part of it. No ifs, no buts.
Chuckie Egg was designed and coded by a 15-year-old but millions of UK kids played it, including me!

Moon Child is all the rage on Bluesky, but why didn't anyone know about it until now? @john.gamesline.net spoke to @seven.eurosky.social about the viral platformer's second life, as well as the hurdles game developers had in their way during the Commodore Amiga days. gamesline.net/the-second-l...
"We're going to ban smartphones in schools."
"Okay, I guess you want kids to engage with the lesson and not resort to whatever slop chatGPT spits out"
"Exactly, now let me explain how we're planning to intergrate AI into the classroom."

The media's unending lickspittle approach to corporations is sickening.
"Let's just gloss over 1000 jobs being lost in favour of 'AI'. Hey... They let me wear the glasses!"
Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.
He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions).
Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom.
And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ.
Remember this.
As you all know myself and 33 others were fired from Rockstar Games in what we believe was a ruthless and illegal act of Union Busting. We're fighting this tooth and nail. If you are able, please consider donating to our fighting fund so we can hold them to account!! 🌱✊

This Is Just To Say
I have turned off
the AI features
that were in
the update
and which
you were probably
hoping
to monetize
Fuck you
they were stupid
so unnecessary
and so annoying
What is the charge?! Playing a board game? A succulent Japanese board game?
Every time I read a piece about somebody with an “ai-assisted editing process” I feel like I’m watching someone trying to intellectualize a deliberate choice not to think or concentrate
What the actual fuck is this take?
Men can't find children cute? Apparently men don't have the inherent capacity for nurture?
This is an incredibly damaging, reductive and incorrect statement in its entirety that only serves to reinforce right-wing narratives.
Now this is a beauty!
New toy alert! It's a Sharp MZ-2500 from 1985, otherwise known as the 'Super MZ', the last of the extensive Z80 based MZ range. Up to 256K RAM and 128K VRAM, it has a 6MHz Z80B and can do 16 colours at 640x400 (if you have all the VRAM). It also looks wonderfully like a top end HiFi separate ... 1/2
Lol.
Modern gaming is cooked.
This stuff boils my piss.
Delighted to say I officially have the works of @alphachromeyayo.com in a game of mine (and hopefully not for the last time).
Coming in the next update*

Hey seriously, literally in the bills it says they'll also use identifying information, such as your age data for "other purposes". That means your data goes into a government surveillance database. This would be for ANY *OS*, which is the thing your fucking PC runs off of.
Call your reps NOW.
Yesterday @reified-systems.itch.io pointed out that Basil's face from this Fawlty Towers VHS collection is nearly exactly The Expression from Disco Elysium, and my mind is blown.
I genuinely think this may be the original inspiration! So many details match up
In 1986, a Canadian called Chris Gray made a stealth game locked behind a helicopter sim. U.S. Gold successfully sold it to the UK as "the game that rocked America". Gray was still a teenager, but already the co-creator of Boulder Dash. New post on Infiltrator:

Unhappy to report the phishing one is quickly becoming a real problem now. Why go to the trouble of social engineering when people will just give up their ID, financial info, biometrics, etc. to an AV portal? There's no standards so how can you differentiate a fake one from a real one?
a reminder as you hear the crowd in Vegas chanting "thank you Brock" for whatever eason.
The original allegations about Brock Lesnar in the complaint were one thing.
But the stuff in the new Janel Grant affidavit? Where — I won't get graphic, you can read it if you want to — he expressed a specific intent to violently injure her?
Fuck that guy.
Man, I wish Sega would have just open-sourced their machines/firmware after leaving the hardware space.
Saturn and Dreamcast had massively untapped potential that we're only seeing from homebrew scenes; MegaDrive and Master System still had vast install bases, if not active users.
An ad for the Bandai RX-78 GUNDAM, a Z80-clone microcomputer that had the misfortune of launching around the same time as the Famicom and so vanished into the mists of history, despite the heavy Gundam themeing and association.
Y'all, in 1983 there was a Japanese microcomputer made out of recycled Gundam parts.
Welcome to Linux! It's a wonderful breath of fresh air in tech terms.
Linux Mint is very easy to install and use.
GEOS was such a valiant effort to put a GUI on a C64, but the OS takes up so much RAM that there's only 23K available for programs. The bundled geoWrite word processor fit 52K of code into 23K by splitting the app into overlays that the OS can load from disk as needed. www.pagetable.com?p=1425
I quickly knocked up a bit of Jurl on the Super Cassette Vision using SCeVe, it's been fruitful because it's helped me find several issues in the parser - but i've got levels 1 and 2 running, including multi-layered sprites to add a bit of colour
'Energy' released on this day in 1989.
An ill-advised conversion of a PC-88 adventure platformer to the PC Engine, in which telekinetic teens attempt to save Tokyo from a hell of slow screen scrolling. Often considered the absolute worst entry in the 16-bit console's catalogue.
