Think we could start convincing publishers to hire game preservation consultants? 🤔

I have a theory that you could spin game preservation to publishers as money spent doing double duty as a marketing tool. Game preservation is good press to a growing population of gamers. It’s the sort of thing I think would make a good presentation, but I’d need to research it a lot more first.

I've updated retrogamecabling.com with more systems, more custom items, better color handling, updated all the examples, and also an example from my own messy setup. It looks MUCH better in this view than in real life, haha :)
Take a look!

I’m really getting tired of the “new app good ➡️ app gets bought ➡️ app gets shitty” cycle. 🫠

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Serving Emulators for Breakfast: Bill Litshauer of Implicit Conversions YouTube video by Hit Save!

Ever wonder what it takes to port a retro game to a modern console? Emulators are just one piece of the pie...or pancake, as it were! Revenue sharing and licensing hell and legal battles, oh my! Listen on as @gamedocs.bsky.social and Bill Litshauer of @implicitconversions.com dive deeper!

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

I've been waiting for this longer than I've been waiting for Metroid Prime 4.

Here's a quick aspect ratio correction of @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social's recent find! Here's hoping the full tape turns up one day!

Giving Mario and Rabbids Sparks of Hope a try after seeing it heavily discounted in typical Ubisoft fashion. So far I’m delighted that I can have a team that doesn’t include a Rabbid character, but I’m disappointed that it can’t run in 60fps, even on the Switch 2.

E.P.A. to Stop Considering Lives Saved by Limiting Air Pollution In a reversal, the agency plans to calculate only the cost to industry when setting pollution limits, and not the monetary value of saving human lives, documents show.

Breaking News: The EPA will stop considering lives saved when setting pollution limits and instead calculate only the cost to businesses.

70% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to govt data.

Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”

As ICE terrorizes cities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of Trump's major donors are private prison corporations.

That's feedback I had as well. I used the Scalable video switch as a configurable stand in for my AV receiver, but having custom items that can be named as we like would very very useful! Food for thought @jonasrosland.bsky.social!

My first pass at my workshop setup using @jonasrosland.bsky.social's app, with some added context and feedback! retrogamecabling.com if anyone wants to try it out for themselves!

Paging @retrorgb.com and @mylifeingaming.bsky.social, you guys will appreciate this!

This right here? This is the peak of video game graphics.

Maduro was a dictator.

But let's not pretend Trump cares about democracy.

He cozies up to dictators all over the world when it suits him.

Trump has been clear: he wants Venezuela’s oil.

That’s not democracy. That’s imperialism.

One of these days I need to give Skies of Arcadia a try. I’ve heard so many good things!

The New Normal Is $115 Billion a Year 2025 clocks in as the third-most expensive year for billion-dollar weather disasters

Climate change isn’t abstract. It has a price tag.

In 2025 alone:
• 23 billion-dollar disasters
• $115 billion in damages
• The most expensive wildfire ever recorded

I break down the data — and why this pace isn’t sustainable.

Distraught woman says ICE killed her wife in video after deadly Minneapolis shooting "They killed my wife," the distraught woman says, adding, "They shot her in the head." An ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman who was driving an SUV in Minneapolis on Wednesday. / Screenshot/@Breaking911

"They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries. "We have a six-year-old at school," she says, almost unable to breathe, as a chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. "We're new here," the distraught woman says in despair.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

AOC: What we saw today was a criminal murder a woman while she was trying to flee for her life. What we saw today was a manifestation of every American’s worst nightmare: their government turning into a tyranny.

I’d like to see justice within my lifetime, if it’s not too much to ask. Maybe we can start at the top.

BREAKING: ICE killed a Minnesota woman in broad daylight & there must be accountability.

But when I moved to subpoena all records & footage related to this murder, Republicans voted it down.

They've never cared about law & order or keeping our communities safe.

I’m really proud of how this event went overall, but man it was more work than I was expecting! I think my favorite find of the bunch was the Tony Hawk TV ad, with second place being the the Tenchu Dog, and third going to the Ninja Gaiden beta footage that nobody had seen before.

Our health care system is collapsing. Housing is unaffordable. 60% of people are living paycheck to paycheck.

Instead of trying to "run" Venezuela, Trump might try to do a better job running the United States.

Oooh rooftop panels too! Awesome stuff! My partner and I have EVs at home and love them, but rooftop panels are a life goal for the future. Maybe whenever we are able to move somewhere bigger.
