“woke zamboni” is, objectively speaking, the coolest possible vehicle

DOOM fully rendered in CSS. Every surface is a <div> that has a background image, with a clipping path with 3D transforms applied. Of course CSS does not have a movable camera, so we rotate and translate the scene around the user.

every video i watch about the history of british video games seems made up

many cases of "guys who made a small fortune selling copies of Watch Out, Scrimblo's About! to the starving masses on audio cassette tapes that your uncle could copy and sell at a boot fair" becoming industry bedrock

BREAKING: WE DID IT!!! LUDOVIC IS COMING HOME!!!

The judge, clearly moved by 20 people turning up in person alongside 20 online, ruled entirely in Lud’s favor with low bond.

Update to come when he is home. The team is optimistic about his hearing in May.

30 years ago tonight:

I think about this a lot.

despite extraordinarily stiff competition from the Roberts Court, Citizens United keeps its place as one of the most damaging Supreme Court decisions of all time

Roxas looking surprised as Xion asks "Look at me, Roxas. Who do you see?"

Roxas looking surprised as Xion says: "If you see somebody else's face - a boy's face..."

Xion continues: "...then that means I'm almost ready. This puppet will have to play her part."

LISSEN

(there's a whole side rant about women and personhood through the lens of the Kairi/Namine/Xion trifecta but I'm sure someone's already done a video essay on that shit lbr)

Xemnas: Saix, you make that power-stealing clone of special boy Roxas yet?

Saix: sure did, boss. Real fucking feminine, just like you asked

Xemnas: ...what?

I realize the likely reason for Xion being a girl is needing a Kairi stand-in (again) or wanting to flirt with romantic devotion without making it gay (laughs in Riku) but they've whoops'd into a wholly more compelling setup

Continuing my long overdue foray into Kingdom Hearts via the 1.5+2.5 remakes, I'm nearly finished with the 358/2 Days cutscene movie (AKA Ice Cream Eating Simulator) and I am having Thoughts™ on a trans-masculine reading of the soul connection between Sora and Xion...

A google maps view of the area around the Strait of Hormuz, with crude markup showing the 4 steps to successfully clearing the strait: 1. Build up speed 2. Hit Trampoline 3. Cool backflip 4. Nail the landing The boat is illustrated using a clip art yacht, and the trampoline is also just kind of floating there.

wait. wait. everyone hold on. i've solved it

I've just had an amazing idea

It's about addictive game design (yess!!) And predatory monetization (fuck yessss!!)

My husband and | just received 13 traffic violations in the mail 2 of them were from STOP SIGNS. IS THIS A NORMAL OCCURRENCE IN DC?!?? Is there a lot of success in getting these things cancelled?! We just moved here and have been going with the flow of traffic! This is INSANE $1500 worth of infractio

i can't stand nextdoor but i think it's fascinating that out of 137 commenters about 120 are like "yeah it sucks to drive in dc" and the handful remaining are patiently explaining that the one weird trick to not getting tickets is to stop driving like an asshole

all i’m saying is don’t give me a severe thunderstorm warning and then not deliver

okay okay okay so

Neopets has a partnership with a company called Geekify for all physical merch. Geekify ran a kickstarter a while ago for a Neopets TTRPG and raised around 425K to ship a unique noncombat focused TTRPG centering around the existing Neopets world and lore.

A video game where each run is Gordon Lightfoot going back in time trying to save the Edmund Fitzgerald from the evil gales of November

i gave my ttrpg players a water temple once and penciled in the waterline above the inked map. there was no mechanism through which to change the water level. drove them insane, as i recall

love A’ja basically being like “welp I guess I gotta score 84 now”

I think every single day about “The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don’t.”

In Esoteric Ebb, men talk to men about manhood, and that's a good thing It does not shy away from the things many of us are always thinking about when we interact with others, like, “Who are you voting for?” and “What does being a man mean to you?”

This bit in the From Russia With Love game made me laugh out loud. You've got a fairly grounded, low key fight based on the one in the movie, then the most video game looking fucker of all time slides into frame.
