Seriously looks just like how I remember some of the awesome Bionicle comics from back then (though in reality, I bet this is even nicer than those were). So cool!

I think the ChatGPT use of β€œit’s not ___, it’s ___” is more distinct from human use of that phrase than people make it out to be. Because ChatGPT is always making some stupid metaphor that communicates zero information. β€œIt’s not a drizzle, it’s a flood”

Congrats on the launch! Through the magic of modern compatibility layers, I can boot up the Steam copy on an Android device, too. :)

Looks like a delightful romp to come β€” Cheers, Panic folk!

Are the levels from other emulator users, or did they manage to connect to other Switch users somehow? Super cool!

Well, anyway. Best of luck to Marathon.

Hope you like it! I recently got something similar, and having one tiny device that can play the majority of the MH series is really cool. :)

FireRed and LeafGreen are not just the standard roms from 2004, they actually got the build system working and compiled a new build (with still unknown changes) more than 20 years later! Very interested in what changes they made.

Okay, that’s all the time I’ve got. I gotta get back to playing Lumines: Electronic Symphony on my PlayStation Vita.

Thinking on it, it feels like all we get nowadays is "it's so over" which is why I think it's important to talk about how "we're so back" Lumines Arise is.

Aura's very succinctly put into words thoughts I've been rotating ever since extraction games became the FPS genre du jour - that there is something deeply sad about the way we're chasing a genre built on bringing the world's cruelty and mistrust back into games.

I just recently played through a really class PokΓ©-romhack called β€œHeart & Soul” β€” was really surprised at how much I enjoyed it, after many years away from PokΓ©mon. Hope your playthrough is a great & comfy ride!

It hasn’t crossed my mind in a few years, but *dang* is Super Hexagon still an all-time excellent game.

It’s such a good Lumines, too. :)

Bro you have no idea how heroin works, come back to me when you’ve tried heroin before we have a discussion of if it’s bad or not.

Looking forward to supporting more small indie games and modding efforts these coming years. Thanks to small folks who care and push out small projects against a tide of big industry stuff β€” y'all rock β˜•οΈ πŸŽ‰

We are about to run face-first into a combo of:

- Covid development delays (2020-2022)
- End of Zero-Interest Rate Policy (2022)
- Overinvestment in games-as-a-service (2021-2025)
- AI-based hardware shortages (2025+)

AAA games take 4-7 years to develop and bring to market. It is going to be BAD.

Terrible. The Execs that had these folks working on a live-service game (of all things, given Blue Point's pedigree) should be sacked, not the talented devs. Shame on them.

Can heartily recommend Blot.im for a personal site or small blog (not sure how/if it handles email newsletters). Made by one responsive dev, not too technical to set up, sustainable cheap pricing, I've been really happy with it for my sites.

I printed it and stuck self-adhesive copper tape to it. There's copper tape with conductive adhesive so you can add multiple overlapping pieces and it counts as one conductive surface.

Then I used the second part of the mold to shape the copper, so that it sticks inside the recessed traces.

Then I used sandpaper to file away at the raised ridges. The copper traces are now electrically independent of each other. Done!

But if I want, I can remove the extra copper tape.

The companion mold at the bottom. This second 3D-printed part pushes the copper tape down into the recessed trace channels so it conforms to the shape. The two parts sandwich together with alignment spikes to keep everything registered.

I made a tool that turns PCB designs into 3D-printable molds. you sandwich copper tape between the parts, sand the ridges, and you have a real working PCB. no etching, no chemicals. I am losing my mind
