Dealies, a new adult animated series from the producers of Common Side Effects and Scavenger's Reign, is coming soon to Netflix.

The staff at big box store DEALIES are masters of the delicate alchemy of trade, prophets of enterprise...and occasionally they do some actual work. Created by Joe Bennett and Ted Travelstead.

Mina the Hollower sold 300,000 in three days!

Yacht Club Games Founder Sean Velasco says this allows them to avoid cuts or outside investment for now.

It's currently #1 on the Switch 2 eShop (US) and doing great on other marketplaces too.

Wait… a 30th anniversary video that kinda gets me hype for the 30th anniversary?

Is this real?😂

Seriously though, whoever put this together (especially the music) did such a good job. Had me in my feels.

Sony was so suspicious of this game they sent someone to the studio to check the footage wasn't faked. A tiny team had built a PlayStation game too big to fit inside the console, then taught the machine to read it off a spinning disc, piece by piece, as you played.

The PlayStation came with two megabytes of memory. After the basics took their cut, only about one and a quarter megabytes were free for the level you were playing. One photo on your phone is bigger than that. Crash levels held far more than that, so they could never sit in memory all at once.

The fix came from one of the studio's programmers, Andy Gavin. He built a system that grabbed the level off the disc in tiny chunks as Crash ran, always pulling in the next stretch of the world a beat before you reached it. Then he went further and arranged the data on the disc by hand, so each piece sat right where the laser would land at the moment the game needed it. Lean in close and you could hear the disc drive whirring and clicking without a break, feeding the game as you moved.

That nonstop reading is what worried Sony. Every move Crash made meant the drive had to fetch new data, and a disc drive can only be read so many times before it wears out. A Sony exec asked how many reads finishing the game would take. It was more than the drive was built to survive. He went quiet, told the team to keep that to themselves, and helped get the game approved anyway.

Even with all that, the game barely fit, right up to the final days before the deadline. The team kept rewriting the same lines of code in slightly different ways, shaving off a few bytes here, a few there, until the first game fit with about four bytes left over. Four bytes is not even enough to spell the word Crash.

Warped, the 1998 game on screen, was the third and most ambitious version of all this. A jet ski level, a biplane, a motorcycle, a tiger ride along the Great Wall of China, all running on the same little machine that could barely hold one ordinary level. It sold around 7 million copies. The three original games together passed 21 million and turned Crash into one of the best-selling Western game series ever in Japan, a market Western games almost never cracked.

A studio that had to trick a console into running its game built one of the best-selling series the original PlayStation ever had.

Imagine a biological 3D printer that uses sound waves to print organs inside of your body?

Fiction?

It is already beginning to happen. It is now just an engineering scaling issue.

@nypost Regrettably, President Trump seeks to extend Daylight Saving Time into winter. This creates dangerously late sunrises, with some places seeing sunrise at 9am. We need to ditch DST and restore permanent Standard Time instead!

🇺🇸 A Texas biotech company just hatched 26 live chicks from 3D-printed artificial eggs with no shells and no hens.

First time in history a complete bird embryo developed in a fully artificial system.

And that's just the warm-up.

Colossal Biosciences is using this same tech to bring back the South Island giant moa: a 12-foot-tall, 250 kg bird that went extinct 600 years ago.

No surrogate exists on Earth big enough to hatch one. So they built the technology to do it without one.

De-extinction just went from science fiction to a construction project.

Six Americans have been exposed to Ebola during the current outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), three faced high-risk contact or exposure while one is symptomatic, though it is still unclear if any were confirmed to be infected or if they were still in the Congo, sources with international aid organizations told CBS News.
