I'm delighted to announce my English translation of Puppy Love Story on Casio Loopy, a visual novel penned by Kenji Terada. You can play on real hardware with a Floopy Drive, or emulate with LoopyMSE. I translated the manual as a little bonus too! Prepatched available at archive.org/details/pupp...

JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks. A six month-long investigation built on more than 10,000 pages of FOIA records. Read it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

nytimes.comHow Trump Gave the Worst Polluters a Free Pass (Gift Article)The president temporarily waived clean-air rules for industrial facilities that spew cancer-causing gases. Then his appointees worked to gut the regulations altogether.

I need my US friends to understand that the Democrats don't have a monopoly on own-goals of epic proportions... but I'm afraid to explain what's happening in BC. I have to hold onto a shred of hope. I'll tell you the story later when we can all laugh about it...

let me just get it on the record then: AI gargles balls

You may be considered a terrorist if you’ve complained about AI Trump and the Justice Department have “declared war on… opponents of AI,” with opponents of AI being classified under NSPM-7 as “further[ing] the propaganda or other goals of a foreign power” www.kenklippenstein.com/p/feds-think...

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

I dreamed last night that you drive EVs plugged in with an insanely long cord, and I ran out of slack and realized I'd need to not only walk all the way back to the wall plug but then lug the cord on the return trip to the car, and THEN find another spot to plug it in. Altogether not a great system.

Given that Coyote V ACME was a story from a 1990 New Yorker I have to wonder if we'll be seeing the Muppetization of this in theatres soon lol

Jump scared when I heard a knocking in the bathroom. Heard it again, ah, it's coming from the window, probably a squirrel. Opened the blinds and it was a Steller's Jay! I'm about to go vote in the municipal election and the Steller Jay is the official bird of British Columbia. Providence?

it is finished. I can finally start Silent Hill Townfall. only been waiting 4 years and then it comes out on the same day as control grumble grumble

If you told me I’d be redownloading Mapquest in 2026 to try to stay ahead of the surveillance state I wouldn’t have believed you

MapQuest@mapquest.com

The Roads Have Eyes! 👁️ Turn on the Surveillance Layer in Map Options to see known license plate readers from Flock Safety, Motorola Solutions (Vigilant), Genetec, Axis Communications, Axon, Leonardo (ELSAG), Neology, Rekor, PlateSmart, Ubicquia, Verkada, and other outdoor surveillance cameras.

Been on a streak of going back to and wrapping up older projects. I have something I'm really excited to share, just trying to figure out the best way...

Used PSPMAN, @obsoletesony.com's new FLAC/MP3 player, as a motivator to mod my PSP Go! MemoryStick M2→MicroSD, 30-pin connector→USB-C, updated CFW. The analog tape visualizer pairs so nicely with PSP Go closed mode and the Hold switch! Sounds great to my ear! I'd love gapless playback one day 🙏

I'm in the endgame of Control Resonant now for sure. I'm so glad it saved some surprises for the end...

Am I just reaching or is the Unknown Resonant a subtle nod to Philip K Dick's semiautobiographical VALIS (in which a pink beam pierces Dick's mind from space, granting him hidden knowledge and putting him communion with VALIS/God)?

The AI-slop era has lowered the floor so far that anything made by a person is automatically impressive now. Expend any amount of effort and you're in the top 1%! And people still can't do it!

When you send a bug report to Unity, there's a heavily-recommended option to pack up and include a snapshot of the unity project. They send the whole thing, gigs of assets and all. Thinking about all the projects I sent copies to Unity over the years this way. I wonder if they were used for training

Dan Marshall@danthat.bsky.social

The video advertising Unity's ew AI-driven autocomplete game maker has 'Mari' who has a game idea they "always wanted to make" and that idea is "Space Corridor" and it looks like this, and that's the strongest argument I can think of for keeping game dev out of the pro-AI crowd's hands.

bsky needs a "close circle" feature so I can feel safe venting about ai-pilled people in my life 😒

Surely I don't need a third MiSTer, right....? RIGHT? 😖

The SuperStation Transparent Collection goes on sale in one hour. We will be randomly distributing our remaining Founders Edition motherboards with these orders. Use code preorder-bonus to get either a Bluetooth Receiver or AV cable for free with an order. Ends Oct 12th.

my Games Opinion is that I started a little disappointed in Control: Resonant, but several set-pieces in and key abilities unlocked, and it's mostly won me over. Still, the facial animation is a huge step backwards, that's a shame.

don't buy a fucking chromatic or m64

Meet the mega-donor Pete Hegseth just named as the leader of his new automated war initiative, along with mega-donor Elon Musk and Newt Gingruch. Donald Trump Jr. invests in his company. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

After Weapons, my wife and I were dissecting it, and she described a story about alcoholism. I had totally missed it; with that framework everything fell into place. Wellp, I missed the point again with Resident Evil, even though Austin was shouting it by the end 😅 defector.com/resident-evi...
