If the only thing Cain has to whine about in 2025 is denying Superman’s leftist origins written by depression era immigrants, he’s really got nothing to complain about or is trying to distract from some bullshit or sell something

Something like this should be a warning label on AI

A bunch of arcade games become much more friendly to kids with infinite continues, shmups, fighters, brawlers, etc but for those you’ll need to filter on violence. I’d probably also avoid anything RPG or story heavy.

My picks would be Bubble bobble, Kirby on SNES, ice hockey on NES, Mario 1-3, super Mario kart, Tetris, monkey ball, Dr Mario. For Sega Sonic 1-3 & knuckles, ecco, robotnik’s mean bean machine, Alex kidd, outrun

Tony hawk pro skater 2, played it often when it first came out and hearing about the 3/4 remake coming out soon reminded me of the games and it’s been decades, I wanted to see if it holds up. It’s showing some age in the fighter combo style tricks and arcade style levels, but the soundtrack is still good, and progression with unlocking stats and levels through goals is fun and wanting to beat a goal after failing a couple times keeps me coming back.

Good stuff, og Gameboy was my first handheld I have a lot of fond memories of those games like Zelda, WrestleMania, Castlevania, etc

These days I’m less on mobile gaming I have batocera running on a raspberry pi 4 in one of those small acrylic cases and a small fan

I suspect this is going to be true of pretty much any publicly accessible social media in general, parental controls built into the app or browser user access controls for censoring, time limits, or keeping them on a family friendly instance seems to be the right move

Lately the most frequent ide/editors I’ve been using are sublime text, eclipse, and teXworks. I’d like to replace sublime text, maybe go back to emacs or give neovim a try. I’ll probably get rid of eclipse once I can replace the ee containers with self contained apps, I used vs code for a bit with java and it was fine but the ee server container integration wasn’t great, this was a couple years ago I last tried though.

They’re mostly filter feeders, the constant hand movements are a dead giveaway

The story just broke on corporate news networks, I heard the president of video games is going to make an address

A little mustard might be good with the paprika, like a deviled egg without the extra oil from the mayo

In all it’s shades of green 💚

The command line is an exceptionally useful tool, you may want to spend a little time getting familiar with it and common command line tools that would probably make self hosting almost anything easier.

It’s like wanting to learn to play guitar but not learning how to restring and tune it, sure it’s not necessary but you’re going to be overly dependent on others to do something you could learn for yourself with a little time and patience, and it will probably broaden your perspective on what you can do once you do get familiar with how to pipe commands together and combine basic tools into something more sophisticated and complex.

I’m fairly sure Bethesda released Skyrim, Oblivion, and Morrowind with officially supported mod toolkits shipping on day one. The reason their games have official mod tools is to make it much easier to work with which leads to the huge number of mods in their games compared to other games, and contributes to the longevity of their games.

Become a congressperson, they get Medicare for life just like every other citizen should have but don’t because Congress will grant it to themselves but not everyone else. If it’s good enough for them it should be good enough to cover us.

Genesis Streets of Rage is still one of my favorite soundtracks

Some non tech book genres to add for devs and leads I think would be about the history of the computing/IT industry, labor history in general, hacker and maker culture, writings/letters of some of the researchers and engineers like Turning, Von Neumann, Dijkstra, Knuth, etc, and some classical and neoclassical literature.

A few I enjoyed from the current decade are Pentiment, return to monkey Island, and twelve minutes

Open it up to 2010s and you’ll include The Wolf among us, the walking dead, Kentucky route zero, Sam and Max devils playhouse, etc
