Did you know that from 1991 to 1995, more than 200 demos were featured on national French TV in the show named "Micro Kid's"?

Here's an anthology!

Here’s my breakdown of EA’s pending sale… to Saudi Arabia… and why this is much, much bigger than video games. I’m late to this from a ‘news’ perspective obviously, but it’s because I worked on this video for about a month.

Wave / hardwave is honestly one of the very few electronic music genres nowadays that gives me that 90s underground "fuck it let's rave" feel; it's not the most original, but it has that certain carelessness and spontaneity about it.

Reading the excerpts on the article it feels very like this is, as designed.

Like they didn't set out to make a suicide machine directly but it aligns with the kinda each to their own marketplace of ideas libertarian bullshit politics it's makers believe in

Utter insanity. QA is one of the most crucial parts of development and by necessity one that needs the most precision and accuracy. Good QA is what makes good games.

I imagined trying to get through bug reports written by an LLM and immediately got an honest to god headache. What do you mean I can’t even go back to the person who wrote it and ask for more details because there isn’t one, but it can still make shit up?
