I had a very brief Space Quest period of maybe a year or two that lined up perfectly with when I first got the internet, so Jess' site was always the template in my head for what I think the world wide web is supposed to be - a place where we share our passions with each other and discover together.
My Space Quest site, Roger Wilco's Virtual Broomcloset, launched 30 years ago this month. That makes it one of the oldest video game fan sites on the web.

To celebrate the milestone, I've updated the site for the first time in ages with tons of new content. Check it out! wiw.org/~jess/roger.html
Roger Wilco's Virtual Broomcloset: The Original Space Quest Fan Site
The web's first and most comprehensive Space Quest fan site, packed with Easter eggs, trivia, downloads, and retrospectives on Sierra's classic adventure series.

In 2012 The AV Club decided to shutter their city-specific sites, and simply delete the sites themselves, with the YEARS worth of writing and history just thrown away. I was the Denver/Boulder city editor at the time. I am still Big Mad about it, 13+ years later.
Did you know that, according to a recent study by the Pew Research Center, 38% of webpages that existed in 2013 are no longer accessible?
When Online Content Disappears
A quarter of all webpages that existed at one point between 2013 and 2023 are no longer accessible.

Crunchyroll is destroying its subtitles for no good reason
daiz.moe/crunchyroll-...

A ton of research and effort went into this one. This is the article to read to get to the bottom of Crunchyroll's subtitle changes!

Replies here will show up as comments (eventually)
Crunchyroll is destroying its subtitles for no good reason | Daiz.moe
With the Fall 2025 anime season, Crunchyroll demonstrates zero respect for anime as a medium as the presentation quality of its subtitles reach an all-time low.

Saboru (to cut class) in Japanese is indeed a word with a foreign origin - something even native speakers of Japanese might not be aware of. But it's not your standard loan word. Learn how it came about during the age of labor protests and modernization.
Saboru: The Strange Origins of “Cutting Class” in Japanese - Unseen Japan
The creation of the 8-hour workday, an early 20th-century vogue for foreign words - all led to the most popular Japanese word many don't even realize is foreign in origin.

Valve isn't nice or your friend, its just that no one has a gun to their head demanding they meet some made up growth goal every year or else. So they just do what works and makes money with as little risk as possible. Like a normal fucking business.

had a bizarre dream where Technology Connections revealed she (he IRL, she in the dream) was transitioning and did an in-depth video on the science of HRT and I was just listening to it while I did dishes and then I woke up and I was annoyed for a moment that it wasn't real lol

Deckard: "You are late for a meeting. As you walk past a shop, you see an advertisement for two for one thigh high boots. Do you stop and admire this?"

Carmine: "W-well it's a good deal isn't it, I'd be foolish not to take note?"

Deckard: "End recording."
The idea of a Voight-Kampf test for gender is pretty funny but it's even funnier if Harrison Ford is delivering those fucking donut questions about rotating a dumbbell in space or whether you played with dolls (in the right way) as a kid.

What did Miyamoto mean by this?
In a 1996 interview about Super Mario 64, Shigeru Miyamoto said he really wanted to make Mario throw MIPS the Rabbit by his ears, and would have done it if the team had just one more month.

Over on twitter there are people throwing fits about the very real, very credible threat of 'forcefem matriarchy'. This is great.

i could probably write 10000 words alone on why i hate this fucking table, but in short: the dates listed for both columns are categorically false, there's much that is missing entirely, "maximum effect" as a phrase makes me want to fistfight the author, no respect to dosage is given, etc. so bad.
@katie.bzky.team hey, I was checking the trans™ websites that I have for an egg I know, and I noticed that the timeline attached is used in a few places. However from my experience... a good chunk of these are wrong in terms of expected onset? Skin stuff in particular.

Get in, motherfuckers; we’re watching the very illegal grindhouse print of STAR WARS (1977)
Reposted by milleniumbug
The only aesthetically pure way to watch the original STAR WARS trilogy is these moldy grindhouse prints that were found and digitized a few years ago

You can see the OT the way it was originally seen: with the original ILM effects, in a dreamlike gauze

ENJOY:

I must confess, "China killed fossil fuel hegemony by simply overproducing solar infrastructure until oil couldn't afford to compete anymore" is something I look forward to reading in future history textbooks.
“Expanding clean energy is central to achieving energy security and reducing Iran’s reliance on fossil fuels.”

Iran is the latest Global South country to go hard on solar capacity — not for climate, but geopolitics and energy security. It’s only possible because China brought down costs so much.

Oguri sounds close to "Ogórek" which means "Cucumber" in Polish, and I thought it was funny #umamusume #oguricap
