@finjico.bsky.social My daughter (12yo) (I introduced her to finji early) discovered that one of her favorite games, Overland, doesn't seem to be on the Apple App Store any longer. Is this an intentional scenario?

Last night I made a chicken katsu set meal

Today we have something special: a newly translated interview from July 1996 between Shigeru Miyamoto and Kenji Eno! Conducted just weeks after the launch of Mario 64, Eno takes Miyamoto to task (in a friendly way) with several fascinating critiques of its design. shmuplations.com/miyamotoxeno/

Happy 250th anniversary of no kings.

I was just explaining to my daughter how when I was in 7th grade, my pre-ordered gold cartridge Ocarina of Time was such a magical experience I spent all day at school thinking about it every day. Then I realized, she will be in 7th grade when the remake comes out. 🥹

The Resident Evil remakes are amazing, top-tier modern games, but the original Resident Evil 2 is a survival horror masterpiece that no remake can ever reproduce. I’m amazed at what they accomplished with the technology. It feels like they achieved more than many modern games do today.

Over 50 years later, this anti-Vietnam War PSA still rings true.

Mandalorian and Grogu is what I want from Star Wars movies outside the main series. “Hey, wanna pay ¥2,000 to spend a few hours watching some Star Wars characters do some Star Wars character shit that doesn’t have major implications for the overarching franchise?” Me:

I couldn’t be more happy with this piece! Thanks @necosuke.bsky.social, you are legendary.

Summer 2026 was just rewritten. Yesterday I bought Vampire Crawlers, and today I discovered that Hades II was released on PS5. After getting platinum in RE9, I was planning on circling back to finish the plat on RE4 and RE8. They will have to wait, as well as cracking open Ghost of Yotei.

Super amazing value edition

I think if you go back and play MGS, it’s all there. DS2, in a lot of ways, is a consummation of threads he’s been pulling for a few decades. I’m definitely not into Kojima worship, as if he has no flaws. I have real indignation toward his treatment of voice actors. Still, he’s an auteur.

Trump posts image of him as Jesus. Evangelicals suddenly think he’s crossed a line. Trump says he thought it was him as a Red Cross worker. Evangelicals are satisfied, going back to thinking the guy whose excuse also reveals a complete ignorance if Christian imagery is “a good Christian guy.”

*rubbing eyes* This thread is my best effort to put solid cites on the contents of the Iranian "10 point proposal", which various news articles over the last couple days have referenced, and which versions of are currently floating around Bluesky. (This is attempt 2, for me. I deleted attempt 1.)

Sonic still holds the trophy for the best video game movie series for me. By a long shot.

The first Mario movie was such a disappointment that I think I went into this one with low enough expectations to kind of enjoy it. But every time I hear Mario talk (thankfully less in this movie), my disgust for the casting is renewed.

Doing bonsai is making me think about establishing a leader shoot in the split ends in my beard.

When shit gets so crazy that, because they briefly exhibit a tiny bit of ethical separation from the fascist, populist rightwing and you are like, ok maybe Rand Paul and Thomas Massey are actually free moral agents.

Marathon is the first shooter in a long time that’s really drawn me in. I’m really digging it. Feels like classic Bungie to me.

Episode-style presentation and full voice acting from the cast? DOS PC-playing TNG fans ate well in '95. 📺: Star Trek: A Final Unity, Spectrum Holobyte, 1995.

Yesterday I went down a rabbit hole of personal reflection (no pun intended) of meta programming and how the approach to an agentic system I took with MOTHER, written in #fsharp, actually aligns nicely with F#’s lineage in the programming language world. blog.bencope.land/mother-metap...

this cures what ails me every time

RIP Hideki Sato. Former Sega President (2001-2003) and father of Sega's consoles, including my favourite one, the Mega Drive, has passed at the age of 75. The legacy he leaves behind is immense and cherished. 💜

Massie and Khanna are a picture of how very opposing politics can at least respectfully converge on basic issues.

Today is the tenth anniversary of Firewatch's release. It remains the thing I'm most proud to have worked on. There's more of me inside of Firewatch than in any other game—and I have no doubt there are others on the team who would say the same about themselves. Thanks to everyone who ever played it.

I did get forced out of my home. I currently have shelter but it ain’t gonna last forever. Have received a lotta help but lemme tell ya I could always use more. So just bumping this, thanks.

Maybe don’t attack peoples’ appearance, even if the person is morally and ethically bankrupt. You can call a Nazi a Nazi without resorting to ableism. Making fun of horrible people for being fat or having some physical deformity just affirms that you see all your fat/disabled friends as ugly.

I don’t think society realizes how this is just the tip of the iceberg of a long, bad era. No society on earth is ready for this level of misinformation. The people using AI do not even realize that it’s misinformation.

It is depressing to think that Obama really did start all of this, & that Trump’s admin will probably not even hit the numbers that Obama’s did. Much of what we have right now has been worked towards by both left and right.

Alright @idolismj.yase.world, I've been seen all of these awesome baby YouTube thumbnails you're reposting and it finally broke me (as much as I suck at image manipulation software).

Parents who spank should be open to receive a physical blow from another adult during a disagreement with no retaliation. It should be on their drivers license so that they lose the right to self-defense in a single-slap/punch disagreement, and so that you can verify before swinging.

post a game you remember playing that nobody else remembers

This was one of the few of these things that I carried all the way to the end. Here’s my 30 days of video games.

I think we need to evolve an etiquette around LLM-generated fixes. Kind of like ”don’t fart at the table”. I don’t mind merging PRs where a human has done the due diligence to review the patch. But it bothers me when I get blind fixes that are clearly wrong.
