I re-did and re-uploaded the Shogaku Ichinensei 1992 August chapter for #Zelda Link to the Past. This one has some of the best art out of all of them and I feel like that's saying something. I cleaned it and put it in its own folder at 2400dpi archive.org/details/zine...

I'm the Unreleased NES Games Guy, so "revive a lost NES game and get it officially released" has been on my bucket list for a long, long time. That it is a fundraiser cartridge with 100% of the profits helping even MORE preservation work happen is even cooler than I'd hoped. I'm proud of this.
We're partnering with @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social + @megacatstudios.bsky.social to release Xcavator 2025, a never before seen NES game from the legendary Chris Oberth.

My favorite quote about AI -- & I forget the original poster -- is:
The tech bros confidence in AI isn't based on the fact that they understand technology so well, but on the fact that they understand humans so little.

This is why hating and mocking AI relentlessly and publicly is vital work.

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

I'd like to add that the venue is STILL shit and the sunday ticket USED TO display the fucking games AT THE CENTER OF THE GIANT ROOM, WHICH MADE SEATING SORT OF DEMOCRATIZED, NOW IT'S AT ONE SIDE OF THE ROOM.

if nothing changes by next summer, this is the last chance for our community to push back. The big ask is not spending $2000 to go to Vegas to play video games once. I'm not expecting much but it at least feels possible because the requirement for protest is simply not doing jack shit

I am so furious at YouTube for doing this. You have literal gambling ads plastered across your website. The video you take action on contains no real gambling, and is promoting an LGBTQ+ children's charity fundraiser. Absolutely horrendous image and optics for the website. Completely moronic
I am beyond upset, YouTube has age restricted my video tonight for thinking it depicts real actual gambling. The video is on CloeverPit and contains no real gambling, but does contain a massive charity push for The Trevor Project. Last time this happened I almost quit YouTube

If the next SF6 patch doesn't have enough help for Honda, I'll switch to Dhalsim, Zangief, or JP, whoever seems strongest at that time. I played Honda while I thought he was relatively good. Now I think he's relatively weak, and I'm not gonna make myself struggle needlessly
