For those who have never stood in the presence of these murals before, they are absolutely wild for a government building. They are the most prominent "Holy shit what is going on at the Denver Airport?" fodder apart from the giant blue demon horse that killed its own maker.

At California Extreme today and fascinated by this modern remake of Tales of the Arabian Nights. Pinball, welcome to the remake and remaster era.

Reviewing the manual for the Minolta X-700 I inherited from my grandpa and wow, the '80s were fucking wild.

Praying for my friends at Cyan and everyone else in Spokane. Holy shit.

I feel like this news is being buried by the prototype video but it's an important counterweight.

Three Eiffel Towers.

The bridge is somewhere out in this direction.

We are in a golden age of wrestling. An all-timer of a PPV tonight.

Rush 😭😭

Finally built this model takoyaki stand I bought at Donki in Japan in 2024. More involved than I expected but I think it turned out neat. I did not know I was going to need to supply my own toothpicks (for multiple steps) and trim them to size.

Wrestling is serious.

Found a map of the GDC 2013 floor, and my god, bring me back.

Cleaning up some old folders today and found this gem.

Time to watch some real arthouse shit on Criterion.

Me talking to the weird guy in Twin Peaks: Sorry, you eat what? That weird guy in Twin Peaks:

"We started marking routes we climbed with peach cans. Then at some point we started adding peach cans to things we just thought were plausible...it turns out all of them were except one. These cans on top of a ruin, which we'd never tested."

A second Marmite slide.

Baby Steps compared to Marmite.

Gabe Cuzzillo talking about how Baby Steps' level design was inspired by Japanese skate videos—specifically one where people explored skating on things that were clearly not meant for skating.

Another standout: Floss Boss, which uses capacitive and light sensors to brush and floss an oversized mouth. Developer told me their original set was twice the size and then they had to hack it down to fit their space last minute. Still looks rad.

Alt-Ctrl continues to be a gem. This year someone has a game about a hamster ball where you are literally the hamster in the ball.

Here's an overview of Project Helix features. Partnered with AMD, designed for the next generation of DirectX.

At the Valve GDC talk: "If you have a line on a bunch of RAM, we are in the market and would like to buy it." Anyway, hardware is still listed as coming in 2026. Now it's GDC official (a.k.a. pretty much meaningless still but maybe).

I can't believe the Trojan Horse in Nolan's version of The Odyssey is just a recolored Bluecifer from the Denver airport.

Now we've got Macklin Celebrini also hallucinated by the AI captions. How is this useful to or respectful of people who actually rely on captions?

Peacock's AI-gen captions losing their mind during Rigoletto and hallucinating the words "Jack Eichel" among all the Italian.

Building all the data centers I can so that sloppy AI code changes can crash the entire internet every few months.
