To commemorate the upcoming 25th anniversary of the release of the XBox, Microsoft is releasing a special edition retro shell controller. It looks cool, but they want USD$90 for it. And these newer XBox controllers for XBox Series S and X feel cheap and the buttons are tiny and lame. They don’t make ’em like the XBox360 Controller for PC anymore.
Check out the official announcement at the XBox website.
Little Caesars Pizza is doing a promo deal with the upcoming movie theatrical release of Spider-Man Brand New Day with cool Spidey art pizza boxes, posters, and a gimmicky “webberoni” pizza with shredded pepperoni drizzled on to resembled a spider web. Looks fun! Apparently, these cool boxes and posters will be available starting July 6, 2026, but you can get the webberoni pizza already.
Seriously contemplating posting political commentary just to see if I can get some actual ad revenue engagement. Don’t know if the new attention I’m getting on Instagram is legit. Apparently 10,000 views on Instagram isn’t even worth a fraction of a cent, so it’s not even worth monetizing my Instagram account. I’d also hate having to respond to comments like it was a job. But I suppose if I was getting real money, I’d have to respond to comments like it was a job. LOL
Here are some images I found at archive.org that are in the public domain (it means they are free to use).
Yoga flame! Going toe-to-toe with Mortal Kombat II, this new movie version of Street Fighter apparently is trending hot. Street Fighter (2026) hits theatres on October 16, 2026.
Just shot something quick a few hours ago. Wanted to show how awesome AI enhancement can be. On the left is the original 720p screenshot. On the right is the upscaled to 2160p (aka 4K) screenshot. Impressive as hell, innit? But pay close attention to what the AI got wrong. Notice the extra hair it generated on my palm and forehead. LOLOL. And the patches under by eyes are extremely ghoulish and exaggerated. But it was able to detect my chapped lips, so that’s incredible as hell.
Notice how the word “Michigan” doesn’t quite look right. But this is only for a few frames, so in motion it doesn’t matter at all. You wouldn’t even catch it. But a human would be able to figure it out. Otherwise, yes, very impressive.
Look at the quality! But also look at that poor performance. LOL.
A little bit late with the updates and posting an older video update, but we’re not at just 320,000 polygons anymore. I can easily draw 2,000,000 polygons per second now. But it’ll drop all the way down averaging around 20 to 25 frames per second. But it still runs buttery smooth. Of course, it’s not production ready yet, meaning I won’t be starting the actual game project anytime soon until there is ZERO crashes. And this sumbitch crashes. LOL
Getting very good performance. Confident will get 30fps when it’s ready to run. Right now it’s only chewing on “simple” graphics.
