Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse:

Fun fact. I have literally started this game and played it for five minutes, get hyped about its intro, and then abruptly stop and forget about it for years and have done so multiple times since the early 2000s.
I should really, really, really play Policenauts all the way through sometime.

For all my fellow sIop haters out there!
There's a Chrome/Firefox extension you guys can download an extension called "Al Warning For Steam" that will warn you on your browser if you're about to click on a sIop game before even clicking on it. No more awkward moments
Stay safe and FUCK THE MACHINE

Uh yeah it kind of does matter
Ezra Klein asked Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about AI making kids worse at math and reading. Huang’s reply: “Does it matter?”
Then he said he doesn’t know his own address or phone number. “We’re going to lose some fine intellectual dexterity.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/o...

Between this and Elevator Action, that's it for the Es in my NES library! There are shockingly few NES games with titles that start with E, just three total in the US! (I'm missing Eliminator Boat Duel, and I doubt I'm going to bother to grab that). Onto the Fs!

I've made this face at work when anybody at an executive level talks to me or makes jokes.

Been feeling the need to do some Tactical Espionage Action again soon. A friend on here was playing Metal Gear Ac!d, and it not only made me wanna revisit both of those especially, but just do a playthrough of all of it all over again.

This reads as: There is literally no reason to support the Playstation brand with your money anymore.
Sony says "reasonable consumers" know they don’t own the digital PlayStation games they buy.
It argues that it's "not plausible" to suggest that when they buy a digital game they actually believe they're "obtaining ownership" of it.

I wish I had more people to socialize with about retro game, old tcgs, and art stuff in person. I'd also be fine if I was better at using discord for things.

Remember:
If you buy GTA6, you support union busting and employers who actively go out of their way to hurt their employees.
We need to normalize that it's not OK.
Please don't buy it.
Support indie games instead!

Disappointed after seeing a cute PC/console/handheld repair shop sim on Steam this morning that looked cute, until finding its apparently full of undisclosed garbage GenAI assets and suspicious data collection practices. Oh well. Guess I get to keep ten bucks.

One of the few good things in this world is that NISEI still exists, continues to be supported as a fan project, is awesome, is mostly free and easily accessible. I should honestly get back into playing it more, because its still truly the most incredible card game on the market of its kind.
