A tech demo with two minigames (Helicopter and Maze) which generate 8 channel sound and then mix it to stereo spatial audio for output. Sounds good on speakers, amazing on headphones. Disc is region coded NTSC U/C and rated E for Everyone. Anyone else have a copy? #RandomGameSaturday

Assembling a donation list and found X-360 for PlayStation. This retail pressed demo disc may be one of the rarest items in the PS1 catalog. X-360 shares a logo with Sony Dynamic Digital Sound (SDDS) which competed with Dolby and DTS in theaters. SDDS was 8 channel audio. #RandomGameSaturday

Using an old phone as a capture drive makes for a very small capture system. This #Sektori clip was recorded on a Samsung Galaxy S21 with an @elgato.com Game Capture 4K S then clipped with CapCut to fit BSky upload limits.

The whole capture setup is stupidly portable.

FWIW, the official campaign argument for I made -zero- mention of social housing. It talks about emergency funds, pandemic rent relief, helping small landlords, and affordable housing (which is still being built).

"...this progressive tax measure will generate much-needed emergency funds."
Official arguments The official arguments in support of Proposition I were authored by the Yes on I campaign: "Prop I is a simple proposition. It asks those who are selling properties valued at $10 million or more—primarily large corporations or real estate trusts—to pay a higher tax when they sell their property. The revenue will help those who have suffered most during the pandemic. There is no change to this transfer tax for the average homeowner or property owner because taxes on properties sold for less than $10 million will remain the same. At a time when San Francisco faces a $1.7 billion projected deficit over the next two years, this progressive tax measure will generate much-needed emergency funds. Prop I is also an important step to prevent a wave of evictions that will increase homelessness due to renters being unable to make rent payments because of the pandemic. In August, the Board of Supervisors unanimously passed a resolution making emergency rent relief and permanently affordable housing a top priority for new revenue. This will help renters who have lost jobs and income, and will also help small landlords who depend on rental income to live. Billionaires like Jeff Bezos, whose net worth increased over $73 billion during the pandemic, are doing great. But working San Franciscans are struggling with disease and unemployment. It's time to ask those selling buildings worth more than $10 million to pay a little more to help those in need. Please join us and Vote Yes on I."

The right may be inching closer to a reckoning.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 @RepMTG Typical of Republican men telling a woman to “shut up get back in the kitchen and fix me something to eat.” F*ck you in the sweetest most southern drawl I can enunciate. I have been trying tell all you “men” that our kitchen pantry is empty with spider webs, our house has been ransacked, the windows and doors are broken and busted, and the greedy rich bastards have twisted your minds into a sick state that you all continue in the two party toxic political system that acts like college football playoffs yet is burying you and your children and their children and their children in a pine box in a shallow grave. Get off your ass and fix your own damn food and clean up the kitchen when you’re done. The worst person you know just made a great point meme. A man looks at the camera with a neutral face. Grass, trees, and a sidewalk can be seen behind him.

If a YouTube video has "CHANGES EVERYTHING!" in the title, the creator is promoting something that's incredibly minor and probably not worth your time.

Who is the best neurodivergent character in popular sci-fi and why is it Amos Burton? #TheExpanse
Image from The Expanse showing Wes Chatham as Amos Burton. A fit man with short hair, sideburns, and a beard looks at the camera. He is wearing a military jacket that is partially unzipped. A black t-shirt is underneath. Behind him there is a door (to the left) and metal safety railing (to the right). He is exceedingly loyal to his friends.

Often, press preview builds were just DVD-Rs with messy labels handwritten in sharpie. But sometimes the PR team would go all out, with disc art (printable DVD-R) that was better than the retail release.

Plagiarism, AI, or just really poor reporting?

A @yahoofinance.com writer wrote an inaccurate news story because she didn't actually do any reporting work. Instead she rehashed the work of others. Journalists covering the story reported on the returned bees hours before Yahoo published this.

You want to look for movies that shipped with a physical digital copy disc. If you have any sets with a specific digital copy disc, those are the codes you want to test. Later releases without the specific digital copy disc use different code types.

For example, here's an early Incredibles release:
The back of the Incredibles Blu-ray advertising the included discs. Disc 1 - Blu-ray Feature Film + Bonus Disc 2 - Blu-ray Bonus Disc 3 - DVD Feature Film + Bonus Disc 4 - Digital Copy of Feature Film <---- THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR.

Spent an hour checking out Sektori tonight. As a twin stick fan and Geometry Wars lover, I think @gimblll.com might have designed this game just for me. Also, the soundtrack gives your subwoofer a nice workout. 😁

A multi-part boss is on the screen. Your ship is a basic triangle (think Asteroids) in the lower left, shooting missiles at the big baddie. Even dying looks good. Your ship has exploded into a glorious purple shockwave with multiple lines of force emanating from the spot of your untimely demise.

Ok, fess up, who on the Chronicle web team is responsible for this amazing typo? 😁
URL of the Chronicle story, but the name of the supervisor (who just resigned amid tax evasion allegations) is spelled Alcatraz instead of Alcaraz.

An underrated feature of @digitaleclipse.bsky.social's Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection is the looping thunderstorm on the title screen.

Simply firing this up and letting it play in the background can be surprisingly relaxing. Sound on.

Alien vs. Predator (the arcade game) is based on a movie script that was meant to follow up on the extremely badass Aliens vs. Predator comic series produced by @darkhorse.com. Any director who moves in that direction is doing the right thing. Also @capcomusa.com needs to re-release the game ASAP.
Cover art for issue #4 of Aliens vs. Predator. A predator and a human woman are standing back-to-back in a defensive pose, with multiple weapons raised. Multiple xenomorph tails are pointed at them.
