My short film POLAROID, starring @alixbenezech, got over 100,000 views and some lovely reviews back in 2020. But its original links have since vanished. Thanks to Bluesky's new 10-min video limit, it's alive again. Headphones on! Sound matters a lot. If you enjoy it, please share!

Geez. Well, I guess it's time for indies to build console hardwares now, à la @evercade.co.uk

If Tom Cruise reincarnates one day into a bug, we would spot him that way...

Today, I decided to dump all my thoughts about A.I. infecting the retro and Saturn scene into one cohesive article. In short, I am certifiably sick of this.

i don’t think i’ve laughed so much at anything this year as much as i’ve laughed about this shit

This is only $2 on the Nintendo eShop right now

@danielpemberton.bsky.social I jumped for joy when I saw the trailer for Danny Boyle's INK. I jumped twice as high when I noticed you were composing the score :) So glad you're working with Boyle again! 🥳🥳🥳

C'mon. Person-on-the-street test, when you go to the PSN "STORE" and click "ADD TO CART" and then "CONFIRM PURCHASE" you are very clearly "buying a thing that you should own"? (Y'lnow the thing that is now listed as a PURCHASED GAME in your GAME LIBRARY)

it is impossible to be excited over decomp projects now that literally all of them are vibe coded mess and/or stolen from other people's work. they've sadly become too mainstream for their own good

US media: Why in the world are people voting for democratic socialists? Financial Times: “US corporate profits have hit a record high while workers’ slice of the pie has sunk to historic lows.”

"Digital is convenient"? Fuck off. Not if I wanna play it a day when Internet is out or even if just the connexion sucks. Not if I wanna sell the game after finishing it. Not if I wanna lend the disc to a friend for a week. Not if I wanna gift it to someone. Just fuck off.

How nice, they found Elon's yacht.

You may not like it, but this is what peak localization looks like (Asterix: Mega Madness (PS1, 2001))

I can't say it enough: popularity algorithms are destroying the world. Whatever it's politcs. Culture. Or even dating apps. They took the joy out of the 1990's - 2000's - early 2010's.

Imagine a world where Nintendo started the Switch 2 generation in 2025 with those awful Game-Key Cards… only to end the generation a few years later as the champions of physical media. I’d love to live in that world.

For years, the Internet has felt like a poisonous swamp. You could still make your way through it, even if it hurt. But since a few months, the Internet is starting to feel more like a bottomless dumpster. One there’s no climbing out of.

This is insane. And check the comments: a lot of other illustrators who hate AI and will never use it, had their works flagged as "Likely made with AI" 🤦‍♂️

100% accurate

You don't own a digital game. It's a licence you're granted, it can be taken away from you anytime. If the future is fully digital, they won't be shy anymore to take away games, forcing you to buy a licence again. Games create memories. Being able to revisit those is important in your life.

If you want more features like this but on recent films, buy DVDs and Blu-Rays again instead of reposting the same clips over and over again.

If you love something, buy a physical copy of it You do not actually own anything that you "bought" that's digital only

It’s fascinating how Gen AI has become a litmus test for how people understand how human nature connects all of us. Simply put: even if AI creates dot for dot the exact same art as a human, it still won't have the same impact. It will feel empty. AI reveals the lack of empathy among its supporters

It will never stop being funny to me that the street fighter subreddit has a much better, well reasoned ai policy vis a vis literally all universities.

I hope someone, somewhere cracks down on this shit. It’s basically akin to breaking into someone’s shop and stealing all their wares to sell elsewhere. Another example of why GenAI sucks and should be taken down.

Democrats strike back (finally)

Kratos somberly reckoning with his violent and aspiring to be a better father while his dead wife is doing double jumps and air combos in another realm is so fucking funny. imagine if Laura Palmer was doing DOOM shit in the Black Lodge

That may well be the best definition of an arcade game ha ha

They stole the internet’s knowledge and all the work that went into it and they want to sell it back to us for a fee. What a business model.

Philippe Aghion et Joseph Stiglitz appellent l’Etat à soutenir les médias pour préserver une information vérifiée à l’heure de l’IA et des réseaux. Merci à eux. Il est temps de réaliser que face à la vague de désinformation qui arrive, il faut des médias forts et indépendants.
