Happy Holidays!

so here it is

Oh and hey, the free Epic game today is Ghostwire Tokyo! That was great!

Got shat on super unfairly, it was super fun to explore ghost Japan and pewpew with magic fingers and string. The verticality of the space was super memorable too, kinda rare in open world FPSes.

Somewhere, someone finally made this and I think it's beautiful

So here's how I've nerdsniped myself this morning.

I've discovered when Wikipedia lists a person's birthplace (I assume this is a documented WP:BIO policy) they list the country *as it was named at the time they were born*. For example Yoko Ono is listed as having been born in the "Empire of Japan".

This policy extends to territories which were occupied. Former Samsung chairman Lee Kun-hee is listed as having been born in "Japanese Korea (present-day Daegu, Republic of Korea)". (1/3)

oh dang this wordpress plugin for this even has sample code you can use to adapt it to non-wordpress sites; very handy!

Stéphane Picq (music from Dune, KGB, Lost Eden, MegaRace, and others) has released a new album. Money from sales will go to fix his computer, so work on remastering Dune: Spice Opera album could continue:

Back in January, we looked at The Legend of Billy Boulder. An #Amiga, #AtariST and #PC title from U.S. Gold in 1990 - featuring artwork by the late Art Huff. Reviewed by at least two publications, it completely disappeared. Can something of it be found?
