While Trump plays trade war like he’s holding all the cards, our executives are coming back from China terrified.

They’re walking through “dark factories” where robots run the show so efficiently the lights don’t even need to be on.

One exec saw a plant pumping out phones with zero human workers.

Satellaview+ deserves more attention: an emulator-based (so far) recreation of the '90s service that let players download games to their Super Famicoms via satellite. Today there's a big SFC in the in-game town in honor of the console's 35th birthday and last month they added a damn Spirit Halloween

Screenshot from BS-X: The Town Whose Name Was Stolen for Satellaview showing the boy character standing near a big Super Famicom console in the event plaza.

If you consider yourself a connoisseur/scholar of visual novels, dating sims, adventure games, etc. but you completely disregard all the ones aimed at women (Otome, BL, etc.) I personally don't think you actually are one because that's actually a massive fucking blind spot

The version of Mihimaru GT's Kaerouka on Spotify isn't quite the same as the Single version so I was thrown off when I heard it and it sounded a lot different from what I was used to

With each passing day,

so I'm just gonna dig out an old ipod or mp3 player and load music into that

I've missed earbuds anyway

With all the Xbox news there's been a lot of discussion about the inevitable death of Xbox, and in a lot of these discussions both in essay and online, there's a lot of reverence for when Xbox was good, the 360, where they were so powerful they managed to match Sony's worst performing console.

Jumping Flash! (PS1) (1995)

1/2

A verily vaporwave scene, a park with green grass in brighter and darker horizontal stripes, towers and houses seen in the distance, ancient Roman columns surround the central circular site and a big frog man guy is looking at you, ready to pounce.

A barren volcanic wasteland with a very derpy red dragon standing in the middle. He's quite large but has a silly smile and googly eyes and is friendly shaped. Alas, he's a boss in the game so Robbit the robotic rabbit has to slay this dragon.

Some dark and gloomy underground crypts with a weird demonic looking maneater plant thing, it's red with black squares and some spikes that kinda make it look like it has devil horns and small tusks. Oh and googly eyes, everything in this game has googly eyes.

A magnificent panorama of vaporwave wierdness. The ground is filled with a circular pattern with some odd buildings in the distance, kinda looks ilke a circus. A purple fog covers the horizon and the skies above with some clouds scattered about. Underneath them, swirling pathways and floating islands are scattered about.
Closest to you is a very low-poly giraffe creature made of think candy cane-ass legs, a trapezoidal body and long neck with a diagonal yellow and brown stripy pattern and a prism for a head. It kinda looks like a Chris Foss spaceship. Oh and googly eyes, can't forget those.

I’m not sure why but Yaiba Ninja Gaiden Z came to mind

Went in wanting to give it a fair shot, walked away with regret

What's the worst game you finished/rolled credits on?

(games media folks, it can't be something you were assigned to review; this has to be something you subjected yourself to of your own free will)

I think the same devs made a similar game with Tom and Jerry on N64 that received a more kind reception

If there's something I'll frequently think about when walking away from this game

It's probably this song
