“In the case of Colorado’s and California’s bills, effectiveness is lost. In the case of New York’s bill, liberty is lost.”

まあ、自分の魂に刻まれてるゲームとなるとファミコンだけで9ついくわね

I'm starting to get sick of the US/Iran shitshow and from both sides.

It turns out that Brazil and the state of New York are passing even worse OS-level age verification laws as they require actual ID verification (the California law only requires a DoB input). The worst part is that the Brazilian law will be in effect in less than 13 days.

I won't call something released if it isn't in a state I'm proud of. Period. Would eat me alive. Deadlines have always been a crude suggestion

I am rotting. No i didn't forget to release the mythos sources it's just becoming a PITA to finish even minor touchups because I'm worried about money. Trying to get a sidejob but every employer just wants webshit or AI slop.

In other news, I just realized my only PC floppy drive is destroying disks. Fun! It's not like I bought it solely to make backups or anything.

@PurpCat @xianc78 @Kerosene @coolboymew the deck is a “lounge held” like the switch not a true handheld. It fits a different niche. I got an ayn Thor to be an actual handheld. What I like about the deck is I can take it to a friends house and we can play pc games on the couch with all my saves transferred.

Not to sound alarmist, but consider a future where you *must* use ChatGPT because typing something yourself is "illegal" thanks to Age Verification nonsense.
It's clear the Corpos are literally trying to remove the ability for anyone to write a shitpost without their AI slop. The time to fight that is now.

Anyone who thinks the "ribbon" in Microsoft Office is somehow better is nuts and three lines to indicate a file menu is also just as crappy (looking at you Firefox). This insistence on hiding critical functionality in "modern" UI design started with Microsoft as far as I can tell around 2003. Yes- it pre-dates the "ribbon" by a long time. All I can say is LibreOffice is the FAR superior choice. Not because they offer a "ribbon"-like interface obviously, but because they offer a traditional user interface that actually works.

There is a reason people have been driven to GNU/Linux more and more with each passing year. Besides it getting better it's primarily shitty decisions by the "tech" industry, ie Microsoft, Apple, Google, etc.

Segagaga finally got a translation

https://retrorgb.com/segagaga-fan-translation-is-available-now.html

It's MTL, but it seems like it's an MTL with care and extensive QA, at the very least

Did You Know Gaming just released a documentary on the WonderSwan a few days back and it got me thinking that there should be a revival of handhelds that adopt Yokoi's design philosophy.

For a while, I've had an idea of a handheld system that can be played with one hand. The d-pad or analog stick would be on the front face of the handheld and the buttons would be on the side.

I have no plans on making it, but I think there is still a market for dedicated handhelds like this. The only handheld that is doing anything like this is the Playdate and from what I can tell, it isn't very cheap.
