More Mario Kart World Fake Ads
I mentioned these a few days ago, but my favorite part of Mario Kart games these days is the in-universe ads for various Mario-themed automotive products. Whatever world these games are set in, it obviously doesn't have to worry about global warming, because not only are there plenty of vehicular support companies there, but they're all either themed

7DRL 2025
It got by me this year, but the now 20-year-old 7 Day Roguelike Challenge, a gamejam where people try to construct a complete roguelike within a week's time, finished up Saturday.
Not only has it been around a long time, but a number of games have come out of it that went on to greater things. Jupiter Hell got its start as a 7DRL project called DoomRL. The amazing Jeff

Ancient Roguelike Lore: 50 Ways To Leave Your Game
Boudewijn Wayers was the creator of the very first Nethack Home Page. I have no idea where he is now, but he's listed among the alumni of the Nethack Dev Team.
He wrote a spoiler for Nethack called To Die: 50 Ways to Leave Your Game, which was a cataloging of ways to die in that game.

The Atari 2600 Technical Wiki
There are quite a number of refreshing things about the Atari 2600 Technical Wiki. There's its subtitle, "Woodgrain Wizardry," which is excellent. Its dedication to a 47-year-old game console. There's it being a wiki that isn't being hosted on damnable ubiquitous Fandom. Its direct writing style, which gets right to the po

To be honest, I’m totally aware that topics like #airpollution #monitoring Networks in Latin American metropolises like #MexicoCity, or #waterpollution in #SãoPaulo, are pretty #niche when it comes to historical research.

The Letter-Writing System in Gamecube Animal Crossing

Daily Inspiration: "Find your niche. Be the specialist that others seek" - Futurist Jim Carroll
When I went out on my own back in 1989, I never presumed that the potential market for my unique way of thinking would be the small geographic radius around me.
I presumed it was the world.
Let me take you back to 1987 - I'm reading the New York Times, and BAM! There it is: "Tomorrow's Company Won't Have Walls." It's a prediction about the organization of the future, and it captured my imagination, arguing that specialized, niche knowledge was the way of tomorrow. Looking back, it was a concise overview of today's modern organization - one that is based on access to specialized niche knowledge, wherever it might be.
The predictive power of this article still resonates with me today. Fast forward through decades of disruption, and that prediction wasn't just right - it was revolutionary!
Think about it: In a world where organizations are fluid, virtual, and borderless, your expertise can be global, and demand-oriented in reality. We are now living in what might be called the 'expertise economy' - one that involves absolutely massive hyper-specialization. With knowledge exploding, no one can ever know everything there is to know, and so there are only a few people who know the increasingly narrow niches of knowledge that others need to know.
That's your niche.
Be one of those individuals, and your market is the world.
The fact is, the future is screaming at us, and here's what it's saying: "The era of the generalist is over." In this era of exponential change, the real winners are those who drill deep into their unique expertise zones and own them. In this world that involves a tsunami of information, who rises to the top? The specialists. The niche experts.
The focused innovators who know exactly where their genius lies and aren't afraid to double down on it.

Moving Miis from Wii to Switch
Fact: even after the disastrous life of the Wii-U, Miis still exist on the Nintendo Switch, and even though a lot less fuss is made about them now, there are still games that support them.
There are also games that used to support them but no longer do. The version of Super Mario Galaxy on Super Mario 3D All-Stars doesn't le

Live experience: the speaker displays a crossover of two memes and asks who in the audience know what these memes are about. (Four hands raised. I had myself no idea.)
If the #fediverse is ever to go even partly mainstream, say 10 million active users, we will have to have a clear eyed look at what ordinary #socialmedia consumers want as an interface. Then either alter one of the #platforms, mostly likely #Mastodon, to meet those expectations, or build a new #ActivityPub platform from scratch that will. Otherwise admit to ourselves we just wanna be #niche.
