I'd add Bubsy, but that cat did get a new game in 2017

On the other hand, Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel and Awesome Possum are right there!

25 years and counting that our blue boy got stuck in space

The PS3 suffered from lack of games and low stocks for the first 2 years, if I'm not mistaken. Pretty sure they only managed to pull through because they're a megacorp, with other areas covering up the losses in the meantime. Having a much lower failure rate compared to the 360 certainly helped, too.

The X1 died by M$ showing their hubris at every opportunity before launch. "We'll block used physical game sales! Fuck games, this is your home media server! The kinect is mandatory and will spy on you! Yes, even while the console is powered down!" - Sony's marketing was just "We don't do any of that"

Hey look, we all got a funny number above our heads!

For some reason, knowing about programming languages is one of my niche interests. Knowing about, fuck me if I can make even a hello world in them.

Still, Nim, Crystal, V and LISP just have a weird hold on me

I won't even pretend I know where to begin. Same girl, different hairstyle, that's all I can gather, no clue on possible hidden meanings

Man, I 'member those times. PS3 launch was complete joke, scalpers sold the console for thousands of dollars, with one in particular going for over 17k. This, remember, in 2006. Everyone was making fun of it, from ScrewAttack to VGCats

I've only recently got diagnosed and I've been very selective on who I tell it. So far, only my dad and current gf know. The real irony is that my ex, a psychologist, never raised a suspicion, not even as a joke, that I might be one.

Maybe not here in the fediverse, but there are dozens of youtube channels that are all about whining about "the woke" ruining the gaming industry, "explaining" how every spectacular failure we've seen in the last few years (Starfield, Concord) are because of DEI wokeness, etc.

Yeah, uh, well, that's because, uuhhh...

Burn that shit (the car, the bags and the shitbag)

 

I've been thinking about some games that can be done in order to get people drawing, mostly as a means to give some variation to kids I've been teaching.

So far, I've found/thought about the following:

  1. I go through body parts, one at a time, like "torso". Everyone draws it. Once done, they pass the paper to another person, then I state another body part, rinse and repeat until it's fully done
  2. One person has to describe a thing or creature without naming it, everyone else has to draw according to what's being described
  3. Give them 3 lists, one of "who", one of "where" and one of "doing", where they pick one option from each and have to draw it, so others have to figure what it is. For instance, "(Who) Medic / (Where) Space / (Doing) Playing games with friends"

What else would you suggest?

Alt-text:
I think a lot about how we as a culture have turned “forever” into the only acceptable definition of success.

Like... if you open a coffee shop and run it for a while and it makes you happy but then stuff gets too expensive and stressful and you want to do something else so you close it, it’s a “failed” business. If you write a book or two, then decide that you don’t actually want to keep doing that, you're a “failed” writer. If you marry someone, and that marriage is good for a while, and then stops working and you get divorced, it’s a “failed” marriage.

The only acceptable “win condition” is “you keep doing that thing forever”. A friendship that lasts for a few years but then its time is done and you move on is considered less valuable or not a “real” friendship. A hobby that you do for a while and then are done with is a “phase” - or, alternatively, a “pity” that you don’t do that thing any more. A fandom is “dying” because people have had a lot of fun with it but are now moving on to other things.

| just think that something can be good, and also end, and that thing was still good. And it’s okay to be sad that it ended, too. But the idea that anything that ends is automatically less than this hypothetical eternal state of success... I don’t think that’s doing us any good at all.

I once had the Japanese version of Digimon world 2 for the PS1 and I remember it having a separate game mode that, by default, would put you in an arena with Metal Greymon vs Were Garurumon. For whatever reason, the fight played fully automatically, no input needed, but if you messed around with buttons, you could sometimes change the attack of M.Greymon to the breast missile. After the fight was over, you'd be thrown back at the main menu.

I've never seen anyone comment on it and even searching right now doesn't show any results. So, does anyone know what it was supposed to be and how to "properly play" it? Cutting room floor only mentions that western releases completely removed all compatibility with the Japanese gadgets and graphics related to that
