Heroes of Science and Fiction
Oh, this looks great!

I’m more excited for this than I have been for a game in years. It looks like HOMM3 with modernized QOL updates and graphics. That’s really all I need.

You’re technically correct. The best kind of correct. Thanks.

Memory that is embedded in GPUs.

You’re sitting on a gold mine - first DDR6/HBM, then DDR5, then DDR4 got expensive. If trends continue, somewhere around 2028 you’ll be able to sell that desoldered 128KB of SNES RAM for a fortune.
- Comment on Content Creator Alanah Pearce Launches Charred Pictures in Partnership With Game Devs; ‘Faith: The Unholy Trinity’ Film Adaptation, Two More Movies in the Works (EXCLUSIVE) 6 days ago:
I don’t know a single thing she’s done, and have been cynical about “content creators” as opportunists lowering the standard of entertainment/art.
But just now I decided, why hate? Seeing all our entertainment being produced by fewer and fewer billionaires every year… All the best luck and support to anyone who isn’t helping prop up that system.
- Comment on New LTX2.3 competitor just dropped 1 week ago:
Should be interesting to play with when they reduce the memory requirements and get a ComfyUI workflow. For now, it doesn’t look usable on non-rich-person local hardware unless I’m missing something. There are some videos on this site too:
- Comment on Switch 2 demand appears to be flagging as Nintendo reportedly lowers production 1 week ago:
To me, the problem is that this is the Switch Pro, and they called it the Switch 2. The marketing psychology makes a big difference. Switch Pro would imply it coexists alongside Switch and is for those who want to pay for more performance. Switch 2 implies that it’s something worthy of abandoning the prior generation. I think the former is fine (even desirable) and the later is just a bad value proposition.
Also interesting there were leaks about a Switch Pro a year or so prior to the Switch 2 reveal. My guess is the Switch 2 IS the Switch Pro.
- Comment on Switch 2 demand appears to be flagging as Nintendo reportedly lowers production 1 week ago:
Yeah, this is the “tock” part of the “tick-tock” hardware cycle. People bought the Switch because it was refreshing and a new way to play. Now Nintendo is offering to let us pay again and more for nearly the same. It’s a little cynical but true.
They could have called it the SwitchU, but honestly that’s a disservice to the WiiU - its second screen had more innovation.
- Comment on NVIDIA confirms DLSS 5 uses a 2D frame plus motion vectors as input 1 week ago:
I think we’re being too quick to judgment on this. We’re forgetting that this is a vital step in Jensen Huang’s plan to make $1 trillion from selling AI accelerators to new data centers, which I think we can agree is what really matters to most gamers.

Love the article, nice work!

Fascinating. Definitely still prefer the Go for retro futurism, though.

Beautiful! Love those billboards. Also reminds me to check out a PSP Go, I bet the slide-out design is cool in person.

PSP is peak retro tech. The disk drive mechanism is so satisfying to open and close, popping out the UMD cartridge…
But yes, Japan preserves their old tech, books and games by default. Used items are almost always immaculately kept and sent cleaned up. It’s pretty reliable to buy used in Japan.
