I'm stepping away from @overkill.wtf.

It's been a blast, and I can't wait to see where @cliophate.wtf takes things.

It's been overkill

After just over three years, I'm moving on from overkill.

Here's my review for the charming Platypus: Reclayed — a claymation shoot 'em up from @claymatic.games.

What if a shoot ’em up was made of CLAY?

Like the BIGGEST danger of Generative AI, particularly in Journalism, isn’t in it’s ability to fabricate lies, its instead a side-effect of that: that people will doubt the truth, even when presented hard evidence. AI is pushing us toward a dangerous cultural psychosis, where reality doesn’t exist.

I was playing this yesterday and questioned if my mouse mat was dirty or something... youtu.be/5HNnk3wbwqM?...

Chris Brandrick @brandrick.bsky.social · 4d

ok, that explained why I thought it felt off. not just me!

Yakumono @luigiblood.bsky.social · 4d

okay so... I'm sorry to NERD here but I think the SNES Mouse emulation is bad
When all mouse stuff just works fine on the HOME Menu and then it jitters too much on Mario & Wario, it's harder to move even on High speed... honestly it bothers the heck out of me

I use journoportfolio.com, and I've also liked the Fireshot browser extension, which makes quick PDF snapshots of websites.

I guess this is them stating it's simply a demonstration of what they can now produce in-house? Rather than specifically related to any actual product announcement.

Cool to see, but an odd, vague way to 'tease' something over two days which may well be nothing?

Nintendo just shared on X that the two recently shared 'Close to You' videos mark the "first short films created by Nintendo Pictures Co., Ltd".

Adding that "Nintendo Pictures will continue to explore new creative possibilities through video content".
