The bargain bins are full of once-great brands that haven’t produced anything in decades, but will let any old cheap factory slap their name on a product for a few bucks.
This is basically the same thing, but with stories instead of hardware.
Viral marketing for “You Can See Everything” perhaps?
Now move them both under inXile and let Brian Fargo cook.
I’m no lawyer, so I’m sure some corporate goon (on either side) will find loopholes to do whatever they want, but the idea is to ban mobile-style F2P games where you show ads alongside gameplay or “watch ads to refill your play meter” as your only revenue stream. Some other kinds of in-game advertising are still allowed. Unfortunately.
If separate aren’t a deal breaker, I’ve been using Nostalgia emulators for a while. They work great with my 8bitdo controllers. NES, GBA, GG and GB/C versions are available. No SNES or Genesis, unfortunately.
Not FOSS and not free for the Pro versions, but free versions are available to see if they work for you.
Not sure about mobile, but on the desktop version of Google Maps, clicking that pin gives a source link:

The pin seems to be in the wrong place (by a few miles), but the contract is real.
In a padlocked bedroom in the basement, officers found a lifelike silicone doll on a bed beneath a blanket, with a painting of a naked female resembling the victim hanging above it.
RIP to the lab tech tasked with getting DNA off that doll.
Larson claimed his communication was civil and argued that licensing board complaints were suggested by his therapist to get the victim to respond.
DOUBT.
DOUBT DOUBT DOUBT DOUBT DOUBT DOUBT DOUBT DOUBT DOUBT DOUBT DOUBT DOUBT
“What did Kash get caught doing this time” energy.
For the low introductory cost of just 100 septims per annum.
Old magazine adverts are a fun way to spend an evening.
The original Castle Wolfenstein went for $30 in the second issue of Computer Gaming World from 1982. That would be over $100 in 2026 money.
For a cross-Atlantic flight stocking up AF1 during a Trump term, breaking out the XXXL food truck would be standard procedure.
A little tangential since it’s not about RFKJr himself, but Sean O’Mara, the doctor giving dietary advice to the Trump cabinet had this to say, as reported in the NYT:
“When you start eating healthy, you don’t need toilet paper,” he claimed. “Animals in the wild have no residual stool on their anus.” He described a proper bowel movement to me this way: odorless, wipe-free, over in three to seven seconds and “nearly orgasmic.” … “I could have a bowel movement behind a sheet at a dinner party in the corner of the room,” he said, “and nobody would know.”
Trump and/or his closest allies are taking advice from a doctor who doesn’t wipe his ass. And he’s proud of it.
Is he saying the atmosphere is a shared resource that no nation should be filling with pollution?
It’s fascinating how close he is to getting it, while the world knows he never, never will.
Word is Josh Sawyer started working on a Fallout game, but couldn’t get Bethesda to let him call it “Fallout,” so things were reworked into a completely standalone game.
Now that MS wants more Fallout, they pressured Todd to loosen his grip, and the Sawyer game is back to its original intent. It’s still in development, but it has had some time to get actual work done, so it’s closer than if they just started last week.
Again, lots of whispers and rumors, so take that with as much salt as necessary.
No, no. Just announcing the policy makes Pete feel more like a man’s manly man.
It really is all about trust. Of all the digital storefronts, Sony is the only major one I can think of that has actually reached into people’s libraries and pulled things out[1]. So far it seems to be limited to movies and TV shows, so it’s not a perfect 1:1, but they are the worst company to trust on this.
Buying from any digital store with DRM is a risk. Some have failed completely, but the big three of Sony, Valve, and MS are unlikely to go under any time soon. By establishing a precedent of tying your access to their behind-the-scenes licensing agreements, Sony’s model is more risky for consumers than the others.
Other examples are welcome, I’m always willing to put another company on the naughty list.
1,205 games. $6,516 as of today. 19 year account.
The depressing part is that of the 1,205 games, 986 (81.8%) are showing as unplayed.
Turns out getting kicked in the head for a living is associated with making other bad decisions.
I haven’t actually fired it up in a while, but Gedonia might be up your alley.

Looks like a sequel is currently in early access, too.
Start saving for the 9090Ti now if you want to run it over 30 fps.
