Once Upon A Katamari, the new Katamari Damacy game.

Cocaine?

LOL

Masturbating their hindbrain to feel something

Then the AAA studios will use some of their Saudi cash to buy out the most prominent indie developers, only to slowly strangle their products

Well, one’s vital statistics would include things like heart rate and blood pressure, so the name is presumably a reference to his strained demeanour.

Or Xi Jinping about Winnie the Pooh.

I wonder whether it digitised the video signal and sent digital RGB data over the connector, or whether there were analogue video channels provided for such a device.

Also, in any case, whether any hobbyist hackers have built adapters to use their Game Gear as a monitor for anything else through the same mechanism. (A HDMI in adapter would be cool, if slightly ridiculous.)

X11 was nifty, but limited by low ambitions. Its client/server model was simple: the application ran entirely on the UNIX host, and the terminal was just a dumb graphical display device: drawing commands went one way, and key/mouse events the other way. If only Sun had seen fit to open up NeWS, we could have ended up with apps’ UI layer running on the terminal, handling events and showing the interface, and the communication down the bottleneck between your terminal and the big UNIX machine running the business logic of the app being more structured (like, say, view-model objects and business-logic events). Of course, you’d have to write your UI code in PostScript, at least until someone invented Lua or something.

The problem is that GPS signals are weak, and generally need a line of sight to the sky. Phones don’t rely on GPS alone, but also get location data by triangulating base stations and/or querying databases of WiFi SSIDs over the internet. And AirTags don’t contain either a GPS receiver or an internet connection: they’re just simple, low-power Bluetooth beacons which send an encrypted ID to any nearby iPhones, which add their locations and forward it to Apple.

Basically, all the smarts are in Apple’s infrastructure (including the numerous privately-owned devices running Apple’s location services). Replicating this without a network of roving receivers is a nonstarter.

“takes a massive hit of ketamine and says”

Fuck Nintendo.

So, basically, Romantic Satanism, only for superhero comics?

Elton John, then still not fully out of the closet, made good use of that, writing a love song titled Nikita, though having the love interest in the video be a blonde woman in a fur hat (presumably to appease the record company).

“It was for our team-building circle jerk”

If she accessed Instagram from the same home network (and IP address) as her main phone, the zuckerbots inferred that the two users were probably in the same household and knew each other/had similar interests.

You can have those in the fediverse on Pixelfed and Mastodon. The problem is that then the people you can follow are only middle-aged Linux/Star Trek nerds and the occasional organic farmer.

Will it be American or Japanese? And how closely will it hew to the character’s official backstory (of being a girl (not a cat) named Kitty White born in mid-1970s London)?

Are those buildings meant to look burnt-out, like they’ve been hit by a bomb from a defendant?
