I’ve done a few jigsaw puzzles before but I’m not like a huge fan of them. They’re fun when you’re doing it with friends so you can gab while you put them together but it always seemed kind of task-like and anticlimactic tbh. These look pretty cool though and that brief moment he talks about the design of the corner… https://youtu.be/5zX7-Z_jnnM
Until maybe the last decade people I knew rarely visited Japan. Growing up, I think it was like an accepted truth in my mind that no one would ever understand or know what my life was like when I visited my grandma during the summers. Now things are completely different! The downside is that things are expensive as a local and very crowded especially in Tokyo, but the upside is friends visit! https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/asia/japan/how-japan-became-one-of-worlds-great-budget-destination/
Sony... effing Helldivers2 up. 😞 https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2024/05/sony-will-soon-demand-helldivers-2-players-on-steam-have-psn-accounts/
Can’t play scary games or movies. I’m ok with gory but pretty bad with fantastical horror stuff, dunno why. If I wasn’t like this I would have played games like Last of Us, Fallout, Dead Space (cause those space suits look amazing). I’m stuck in Raft where there’s that abandoned yacht cause it was too scary ok. I would have finished watching Walking Dead, for example. I can however play games like Lethal Company cause you play with other ppl aaaand it’s also goofy and makes fun of capitalism.
I love one button interfaces, and have used them in my project. I am forever fascinated by games that can be played with one button interfaces too. This is about the one button drinking fountain interface and its convenient modular system. Also The Americans with Disabilities Act protects people from shitty water fountains! I did not know. https://www.theverge.com/24144774/drinking-fountain-bubbler-button-of-the-month
Mondragón Corporation, the largest industrial co-op in the world.
These are the pieces embedded into the former doctors clinic room at Kyoto Playtest. Two chairs where you sit and face your friend using your butt to play silly sounds on a chair. Drawers in a desk that can be used like a mixer. Also a low table where you can hold and touch each others hands playfully to make music/sounds. It could distinguish between touches and holds - worked on any part of the body. Wanted to make something that celebrated the things that we couldn’t do during covid.
i don't have a playstation but i have a ps4 controller to use to play some PC games. i've been using it for helldivers cause i enjoy using the D pad for strategems. but i noticed it was acting funny, and then i remembered before covid i had opened it up to look inside and maybe messed it up a little. is there a shortage of controllers rn? they are all super expensive rn even the ps4 ones. maybe it is spill over from the chip shortage. 🤷♀️

I'll be doing a video skillshare as part of the @emma coop tomorrow (3/6) at 6PM EST!
I'll be showing how to get PICO-8 games to communicate with JavaScript using a rarely-used but fascinating feature of the virtual console. Allowing information to pass to and from the browser allows Pico8 games to do all sorts of new things.
We'll be streaming it on our YouTube channel, which you can subscribe to right here: https://youtube.com/@emmatechcoop

Saw this Kamen Rider belt on TV. There’s like a long history w the toy version of the belts that the Kamen Riders of the past wore and used to transform into the Kamen Rider. Lots of clicking in, locking in, flashing lights, flipping panels, moving levers and such. The mechanical effects and physical ritual of the belt to transform is incredibly satisfying on a user/viewer experience level. Anyways this particular belt uses actual cards that can then be used to battle at the arcade games. 💕
