The fact that there is no current gen remake of Burnout 2, 3, or Split/Second is a crime against humanity. A crime against me, at least.

I once knew an artist who painted portraits that were widely acclaimed but in midlife he suddenly switched to making glass boxes with rocks in them, just ordinary rocks that to him looked meaningful in a particular arrangement. Nobody else ever liked the rocks, even his wife didn't like them, and after a few years he went back to portraits without having gotten anyone to see what he saw. Now, whenever I try to do something really different in my writing, I think, "Is this my rocks?"

Inspired by a reply left by @73ms to my previous social media-related piece, I created #ANSIArt of my take on #JohnMastodon, the enduring product of a news site's blunder in reporting on social media. I'm happy to be on the Fediverse, and wouldn't have it any other way! #Furry #FurryArt

Just found out that the delightful Hogs of War, one of the most underrated games of the late PS1 era, is getting a remaster, and you can follow the developers on here at @HogsofWarLardcore

If you're not familiar with the game, look it up. It's like Worms in 3D, with pigs, but redesigned to be a satire of the First World War. I once did an episode of my Life & Times of Video Games podcast on its design and development: https://lifeandtimes.games/episodes/files/18.html

One day I'll write a book on the post-2000 indie games resurgence, but in the meantime there's now a cool free ebook by Ben Latimore (creator of the excellent Flashpoint preservation project) about the heyday of Flash games. https://archive.org/details/flashpoint-a-tribute-to-web-games/

People are calling today the 30th birthday of the web; more accurately itโ€™s the 30th birthday of CERN releasing the source code. I vividly remember websites being a curiosity among FTP servers, Usenet newsgroups, and gopher holes.

Hereโ€™s to this marvelous technology, Earthโ€™s biggest Choose Your Own Adventure book, one of the most backwardly compatible systems ever built. Modern browsers may be elaborate interpreter-compilers but they still render the first site: info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/The

Need something to move this timeline forward a bit. Here's a breakfast cereal crossover that I do not understand. Who/what is Ambush. The cereal doesn't seem to look or be flavored any different from normal. Is it going to drop a dubstep beat when I pop the box open.
