  • Wow! What a great Christmas present for retro gaming fans! From the VGHF’s own article (the source for this one)

    With a few exceptions, this recovery project has accounted for almost all outstanding Sega Channel games. We believe this also means there are now digital backup copies of every unique Sega Genesis game released in the United States.

    That’s incredible! Finally my collector’s heart can rest easy.






  • You’re so optimistic! I wish my fellow Americans actually had even one data point. America invented most of the techniques of oppression and tyranny that we exported abroad and renamed fascism. But Foucault and his boomerang have always been correct, it’s just colonialism brought home to recolonize the imperial core.

    Americans haven’t read a single history book if they can help it, and proudly so, while the only progress made on oppression has been finding new and ever more complex ways to dissipate and disguise it.









  • I completely agree. I’ve been sharing some art I’m doing for inktober, but only because it’s doodles for practice, and could only make ai art worse for it’s inclusion.

    But my writing (on my personal website) or my serious art works or my persona open source code projects? Yeah, I have lost all enthusiasm to share them online. If people want to see my work, I’ll send it to them directly.

    I think the era of free and open sharing on the Internet is dead, which does sadden me. I think we’re ultimately moving to a new dark age, the Dark Net Age, where all communication and sharing will go into various private chats and sites, where people can be vetted and held accountable.

    Well people that care, which will end up being like the early internet: smart kids, embattled minorities, and crotchety, paranoid old folks. All the people too busy or ignorant to care are already deep into the algorithmic treadmills of X and TikTok and I don’t think they’re ever coming out.
