i worked with our director RJ to put together a web page compiling phone numbers, emails, and petitions where you can make your voice heard - protect queer artists and sex workers and tell payment processing companies to end their awful policies harming safe spaces for creative art

chiho 3 has so many of my favorite songs in the game but honestly it's worth the purchase *alone* for 系ぎて, which is quite frankly one of the prettiest songs to ever be made for a rhythm game www.youtube.com/watch?v=q26O...

Ariana Grande’s “No Tears Left To Cry” was removed from DDR A3 in March 2024 but was announced as a *new song* in the following version, DDR World, roughly three months later. It was also removed from A20 PLUS even though that version is years old because it’s still online in the U.S. lmao
i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago
so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

In the tutorial for Kingdom Hearts, in the middle of telling you critical things like how to move, jump, attack, and interact, the game tells you that breaking crates can sometimes give you items. This happens literally 0 times after the tutorial. Not even one additional time.

Wow so you're telling me that AI is much less useful to people who have to do actual work that involves critical thinking and accuracy and so on and so forth and the people higher up who are increasingly just doing busy work (if any at all) are the ones enamored with it? Wow how about that wow.
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

🏥 SEVEN days left until Rhythm Doctor launches in 1.0
The boss of Act 1 was one of the first levels ever created for Rhythm Doctor. It's the first to introduce the idea that the game might trip you up as you try to count to seven.

The Let it Die sequel - Let it Die: Inferno - which is coming out next week (4th December), seems to have been built using a considerable amount of generative AI. https://bit.ly/4ol7lIA

something that made a lot of Japanese game design fall into place for me was learning that a lot of arcades had a "communication notebook" so you could share messages with other players
they became essential for obtuse games like Tower of Druaga, which required community effort
