Unpopular opinion, but a lot of this "doing it right" mentality is how we wind up with games all feeling the exact same.

Difficulty spikes, weird controls, ropey onboarding all of it critical to prevent games feeling like they're ground down and pumped out safe mush.

In the '60s, an all-star team of Soviet artists assembled -- including Yuri Norstein. Together, they crafted a gentle, quiet gem called The Mitten.

It's lovely stop motion, and it laid the groundwork for the team's later Cheburashka. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/a-film-for...

nostalgic for earlier times

In crime Something funky’s been happening with the US Marshals’ pile of seized crypto — the crypto they’re tasked with hanging on to as cases wind through the courts.b In March 2024, almost $25 million was inexplicably removed from a Marshals-controlled wallet containing funds connected to the 2016 Bitfinex hack. In October 2024, crypto sleuth zachxbt noticed that $20 million of the Marshals’ crypto assets had apparently been stolen, with the thief laundering the funds through various exchanges [W3IGG]. The next day, $19.3 million of those funds were mysteriously returned. Now, zachxbt has linked the stolen government funds — as well as stolen assets belonging to other victims — to a man named John Daghita. According to zachxbt, Daghita was previously known only as “Lick” online, and was active in Telegram chat rooms where crypto thieves boasted about their wealth. When another thief taunted Lick for “only having $6 mil”, Lick evidently decided the only way to defend his honor was to go on a screenshare call to show proof of ownership by transferring funds between wallets. In doing so, he exposed several wallet addresses, and zachxbt was able to trace some of the crypto back to the US government wallet addresses.1415

Shockingly, Daghita’s father is reportedly Dean Daghita, the owner of an IT company called Command Services & Support (CMDSS). In November 2024, CMDSS began a contract with the US Marshals to provide management services for their seized crypto assets.16 The contract is still active. While Coinbase has since July 2024 managed what the Marshals call their “class 1” crypto assetsc — the most popular cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, ether, and Tether — CMDSS was chosen to manage the “class 2” through “class 4” cryptocurrencies.d While it could be that the younger Daghita gained privileged information or access to the Marshals’ crypto wallets through his father, it’s not clear how that would have enabled thefts in the months prior to the contract award. I am hopeful that a FOIA request I filed with the Marshals earlier this week will shed some light on that. It’s also curious that many of the assets Lick siphoned from government wallets fall into the “class 1” category, which CMDSS is not involved in managing. The Marshals have declined to comment on the matter, citing ongoing investigations.17

The incident has renewed concerns about the US government’s ability to prudently manage crypto. In 2022, a Department of Justice Inspector General report identified “challenges” in the Marshals’ crypto custody practices, including “lack of comprehensive inventory management” and “inadequate, incomplete, and conflicting policies and procedures”.18 Last year, the Marshals struggled to provide even an estimate of how much crypto they held. An IT contractor who was passed over for a contract with the Marshals explained to CoinDesk, “As far as I’m aware, the USMS is currently managing this with individual keystrokes in an Excel spreadsheet. ... They’re one bad day away from a billion-dollar mistake.”19 Later in 2024, the Marshals disclosed in response to a FOIA request that they held around 28,988 BTC (more than $2.5 billion at today’s prices), though they did not provide an accounting of their other tokens.20 After zachxbt’s allegations, a wallet linked to the thefts launched a “John Daghita” token, with the ticker $LICK, on the pump.fun memecoin launchpad. I couldn’t help but laugh when I read reporting from Cointelegraph that “The deployer of LICK held 40% of the total supply at launch, according to blockchain data visualization platform Bubblemaps, a level of concentration often viewed as a red flag in early-stage token launches.”21 I’m not sure the degree of concentration is really the primary red flag here.

$40 million in seized crypto held by the US Marshals was stolen in 2024, and crypto sleuth zachxbt has now linked the thefts to the son of a contractor managing the agency's crypto assets. The incident has renewed concerns about the government's ability to manage its crypto holdings.

at one point we were intending to port teslagrad to 3ds, but the original hd artwork looked too messy when scaled down to 400x240 resolution so i did a few tests on various approaches for redoing the art for the platform (we scrapped it in the end because we didn't have the budget for it).

It's definitely not going to be a great movie but it will be fun to see old, "not real living things that feel like friends" be on screen for like 2 minutes before they get back to the corny jokes and 80s rock songs

We had TWO Mario games in space and Tatanga still didn't show. At least Wart got that Link's Awakening cameo.

Sigh... We'll always have the Valiant comics, I guess.
