Finally started diving into Ring Racers.

Holyyyy shit, this is so wild. Any Mario Kart 64 sickos out there should take a look at this (running in the Doom engine?!)

After NINE RELEASE CANDIDATES and over a month of intensive testing, Robotnik's Ring Racers v2.4 is out now.

Crossworlds is cool and all but this fangame is designed by and for kart racing and fighting game sickos. Big drop in/drop-out online MP and a huge solo mode too

You don't hate Rockstar enough, once again circumstances prove that the negative stories about them aren't exaggerated, but watered down.

GP Advance was a 3D GBA racing game in development at Italian studio Prograph in 2003. Marketed as having "Psx-level graphics", using an in-house engine, the game featured up to 45k polygons on screen, running smoothly. In the end, no publisher could be found and the game was cancelled.

Can’t stop thinking about all the robber baron fucks that held secret meetings and spent MILLIONS AND MILLIONS in bribes and campaign investments and attack ads and media manipulation trying to tank Mamdani currently having the dawning realization that their money is completely and utterly useless.

America’s Dumbest Billionaires Fail to Stop Zohran Mamdani. “…a bunch of rich guys who have been comically out of touch with normal people for many decades, and more recently have blowtorched their brains into a smoking pile of ash on Twitter…” [prospect.org]
America’s Dumbest Billionaires Fail to Stop Zohran Mamdani - The American Prospect
It’s encouraging on many levels: New York City didn’t submit to a campaign of flagrant bigotry from disgraced two-time loser Andrew Cuomo, and Americans, particularly young ones, can still be politically inspired by a good candidate with a good message.

Y'all, I know two hours is a big time commitment, but this panel I arranged and hosted last month is one of the most important things I've ever done for video game history. The launch of the NES is a crazier story than most people realize, and my guests were extremely generous with their memories.

BREAKING: Yesterday Grand Theft Auto VI maker Rockstar Games fired dozens of people, all of whom were involved in union efforts. A British union calls it "blatant and ruthless" union-busting. Take-Two Interactive says it was due to misconduct.

people like Palmer Luckey understand, either explicitly or implicitly, that retro tech and retro games are an accessible pathway to right wing radicalization. the politics of "remember the past when things were simpler and better?" are only a few steps removed from MAGA, unless you're very careful
a reminder that ModRetro is run by Palmer Luckey, a huge Trump backer, a self described "radical Zionist," and, quite literally, an arms dealer via his other company, Anduril

Worked some unanticipated overtime this month, so treated myself to the Geeks-Line PS2 Anthology. Three volumes (!) of history, layman's explanations of the hardware, details of every hardware iteration, and descriptions/screenshots of every game released in any region. A serious reference work.
