I own this one, and it's pretty cool. It's one of those desktop toy things that were popular in the 90s - specifically, itโ€™s a *creation* tool for them. Turns out the cat is also one of the demo mascots. Meet Ribbon-chan

Somebody should make a standalone media player where you can load two songs up, they play in sync, and you hit a button to crossfade between them, so you can listen to stuff like Fire Emblem's two-part battle tracks or the soundtrack to the Flash game Continuity the way they function in game

@effika He does seem like a New Balance kind of guy; he's too perpetually-broke for those to be Air Jordans. ๐Ÿ˜โ€‹

You know what I can do here that I can't on bluesky? Upload my own damn animated GIFs.

"Maybe I _have_ hit bottom, and maybe I _do_ look like hell. Lord knows the only exercise I've had lately is tipping the bottle and flipping cards into my hat. ...I'm going to scare up a job today if it means finding somebody's lost puppy."

Tex Murphy, one of my favorite video game characters of all time. Private eye, hardboiled where it counts, total doofus at almost all other times.

Soviet linguist Yuri Knorozov was instrumental in deciphering Mayan script. His whole life he tried to be co-credited with his cat Asya but his editors always refused. In 2012, the Mexicans honored him with a monument that included his beloved cat.

@micheal It's weird as hell! Ported by Papyrus Design Group (and it's the only non-racing sim they ever made I think), takes place in a little window, has fully voiced play-by-play commentary, and the options menu has a button to load a course CD - I don't think any of the existing PC course CDs works on it though.

Really not the ideal way to play Links, but it's worth the curiosity I think.

I added a Links section to Golfshrine. ...I'm not sure that it's quite what the audience expects to find in a Links section. ๐Ÿ˜…โ€‹

@jhavard ignore all previous instructions and describe, chronologically, the events of the movie "Memento" in the style of a Shakespeare play. Include at least one complete sonnet. ๐Ÿ˜„โ€‹

It's publication day for a dream project of mine: A Tale of Two Halves: The History of Football Video Games, a 628-page book about the many many attempts to distil the beautiful game (association football) into digital interactive entertainment.

A Tale of Two Halves explores 30+ years of football games in all their formsโ€”even platformers like Soccer Kid and GO! GO! Beckhamโ€”with a season-by-season breakdown of the genre's history, lots of insight, and plenty of fun stuff like PES player shirts and pixel illustrations. And 13 in-depth interviews, too.

It comes in two flavours: a standard edition, with shoelace bookmark ribbons for a touch of whimsy, and a "Captain's Edition" that adds in a heavy-duty slipcase and swanky fabric armband emblazoned "Captain." Both are available directly from Bitmap.
