Today we at Sound & Vision launched Ctrl Save. This is a starting point for game developers, cultural institutions and those curious about games preservation on what materials to consider and data to keep track off. Please check it out over on Ctrl Save!

If you're interested in programming and mathematics, you should check out Project Nayuki, a fellow Torontonian's fantastic website that's chock-full of interesting, well-written interactive articles and features. There's something for everyone here! nayuki.io Of note is the Hamming article!

Ooooo podemos retomar el temita de las 35 horas.

I've been going down the rabbit hole of disassembling Argonaut's assembler again, and I find it funny that there is an error message intended for Giles Goddard specifically. Debug symbols were left behind in the EXE, so most symbols have their original source code names.

I’ve been extremely skeptical of Gen AI because it’s controlled by a a very few privileged people who steal from creators and experts to sell back to anyone. At one point, nobody will be able to sell anything as AI will rip off #gamedev & any software in hours. Grim. www.404media.co/video-game-r...

I think optical discs peaked the when the front of it wasn't a full print but rather it's still shiny (even when it's almost fully covered but it's still having shiny parts like that Demo One disc)

Sound Fantasy was a cancelled SNES game that would have used the SNES Mouse to draw pictures to turn into sound, like a musical Mario Paint. A prototype of it surfaced in 2015. One of the sample images is this unique illustration of Mario that plays the Happy Birthday song.

I can’t decide what’s more tragic: the story itself, or the fact that not even the photo of himself is real, unless that cinema made a row of seats facing away from the screen

I cannot believe people who use AI to create pictures of cats. Cats are the heart of the web. There's no need to create cats with AI, it's a lack of respect to real cats and the World Wide Web.

“You are infringing on the time and brainpower of people by pushing "your" content that little/no of your brainpower went into” is such a banger

Regardless though I've seen that argument many times from people who don't know the context of the time. They love to cite Satellaview as the first live service and FOMO example. The original context is completely lost on them (I don't entirely blame them), but it's always about the argument.

Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

It should be illegal to put the Microsoft Teams ping noise in a TV commercial. Now I know how my dog feels when the doorbell rings on TV

Sad news everyone. Our beloved friend the computer has now become a hated enemy

Yeah, but this isn’t like that. This is if you made your own robot dog, programmed it yourself, and then let it loose in the park and it bit someone…

#pico8 now has the most officially published cartridges of any console in history. Well done everyone.

Anyways, video games and the people who make them are incredible, and I wish the money people got that the way they should. Ah well.

Is there any harm in using AI to work on — or entirely create — projects for the Sega Saturn and elsewhere in the retro gaming scene? Yes, PandaMonium says in this opinion column, equating such work to digital asbestos: www.segasaturnshiro.com/2026/09/24/c... #sega #saturn #segasaturn #retrogaming

As someone who loves videogames and all the art around them, in the age of AI slop, it makes me terribly happy to still stumble upon people and accounts like @vgcartography.bsky.social What a crazy amount of beautiful designs! 🤩

Creía que no podía hacerme más mala sangre, y que lo del desahucio de Maricarmen no podía dar más puta vergüenza, pero estaba equivocada. Joder

This is the type of AI disaster scenario that I ACTUALLY worry about. (1) AI industry oversells the capabilities of its products to score fat government contracts. (2) govt puts the AI in charge of critical shit. (3) AI fucks up, because it has a nonzero error rate. (4) shit, now we’re at war.

@bitmapbureau.com @randallinden.bsky.social I did a thing 😈 Now I just need a sticker for it to be ready, but it's working flawlessly in my childhood PAL SNES and a Super Famicom Jr (Super CIC) Are there plans to sell any spare FX3 board? 🙏 It would be great to play with some Star Fox 2 on it.

"Millions of people around the world will soon consider large models ‘hoovering up’ all their work to be an astonishing theft of unprecedented proportions."

They fired so many artists over this too. People who helped make the game iconic were tossed out on the street because the Slop Faucet could do it "decent enough". If you still play Fortnite, you're funding the hyper-acceleration of AI replacing Artists in Gaming

Aren’t you supposed to organize cartels in secret.

People on the left need to be very careful. A lot of money is being invested by countries, organizations and individuals in breaking us. Be wary of information that is clearly presented to change your thinking. Make sure you check other sources. The propaganda landscape is complex right now.

Pocas cosas me dan más la vida que las lágrimas de un rentista.

Últimas horas para intentar salvar al sector creativo/cultural europeo del cataclismo de la IA generativa. Está en juego mucho más que el empleo o el acervo cultural si consentimos que la violación de derechos se normalice y se afiance legislativamente. Participa aquí 👇

Still patiently waiting to be "left behind" by AI rather than it chasing me across every damn space like a slasher in a low budget flick.
