I make music using old hardware and write about videogame history. I dabble with game development and making cool little web things. Was big on TikTok, apparently!

I'm working on recovering assets from a partially-intact June 2008 build of EA & Pandemic's canceled Dark Knight batman video game, codenamed Wildstar. Here's the Alfred VO I was able to recover. Some of the lines seem like they are actually read by Michael Caine (or a very good sound-alike)!

Remember the internet before Google, before algorithmic feeds, before monolithic social media corralled us onto the same handful of apps? When small, *personal websites* and webrings linking them together reigned supreme? Time to bring it back.

This is a real longshot, but do any of you happen to be collectors of ZX Spectrum games and have a copy of the game Journey's End? Because it's supposedly one of the games Games Workshop published in the 80s but I cannot find images of a GW version anywhere. Only the Mastertronic release.

This seems to be pushing 'you gotta spend money to make money' to its absolute breaking point.

Exclusive: I have seen OpenAI's audited financials for 2024 and 2025. In 2025, OpenAI had $13.07 billion in revenue and $34 billion in costs. $867 million of its revenue came from SoftBank, and $303 million came from Microsoft. www.wheresyoured.at/exclusive-op...

I was going to say 'can they take it down if it isn't using any copyrighted assets?' and then i remembered that the law doesn't really matter when companies fire off take down notices.

Protect kids from online harm? Well that makes sense i supp...oh, wait the secretary of state gets to re-write GDPR legislation on the fly? Yeah, No thank you.

Still fondly* remember having my first iPod Touch obsoleted and the year after the upgrade I picked up also obsoleted, only to be told "Just buy a new one!" by some Apple Wankers. Buy me a new one, then. That's when I just dropped that ecosystem, because fuck that.
