Dyna Gear for the arcade (Scarab/Sammy/1994).
Prehistoric-themed run-and-gun game where players control a space cop (Roger) or a wolf-man (Wolf) fighting dinosaurs and aliens. The weapons are crazy and nicely exaggerated, and everything is bright and colorful.
Absolute hidden gem, specially because it never left the arcade (no home ports).
Im convinced this inclusion of YouTube in the social media ban is because no kid is watching traditional tv channels and the networks (especially the BBC) are terrified
Ireland is looking to bring in mandatory identity verification in spite of expert opinions.
As a child safety advocate since my intro to online family safety and content moderation at @AOL in 1996, this has nothing to do with child safety.
This will not protect kids.

This ban is dumb for multiple reasons:
1. Many areas are not teen-friendly. I grew up at the border of my town. It was almost impossible to link up without a car.
2. Most of the fun places teens want to hang out at don't allow them to be unsurprised under 16.
The Royal Society for Blind Children and the National Deaf Children's Society have both come out against the Starmer social media ban.
"Internet bad" is a trendy, upper-middle-class opinion for people with extracurricular budgets that ignores legions of people who rely on it.
I tend not to comment too much on politics as i don't want that to be "my brand" of any kind.
But this is genuinely once again, more disturbing shit coming to my country.
We're having full North Korea style phone scanning, every message, every image, every video.
Privacy is no longer allowed here.
This disgusting Government will remove all semblance of privacy "to protect kids" yet they refuse to address the thousands upon thousands of rape victims that are due to policies they advocate for.
They will ban FICTIONAL incest whilst allowing real incest to go on unabated.
It's fucking disgusting.
They do not care a single bit about kids. this is a power grab. pure and simple.
Every day we see murders, ultra violent things (like the attempted beheading recently in N. Ireland) not to mention the amount of rape.. etc.
I literally refuse to leave my house because I want to stay safe as I can. even then if someone broke in there can be legal repercussions for simply defending myself.
And whilst all the people who can afford to are leaving the country, people like me who can't afford to are basically stuck here.
I try not to blackpill but this country shoves them down your throat constantly.
The White House will reportedly block states from making their own AI laws and, in exchange, it's indirectly backing a national age verification push.
So to post online you'd upload a government ID or do a face scan through the Kids Online Safety Act and the NO FAKES Act...
It is hard to exaggerate how dangerous these proposals are. They would be unprecedented in a liberal democracy.
Not only would efficiently banning disappearing messages and livestream viewing require mass surveillance, it would also put the security of many under-16s at risk.
2026 really is the year of decisions like these where the general public vehemently go "This is a horrible idea actually, why would you even begin to consider this"
Shoji Mizuno — died at 58 from a heart attack, remembered today
The Hudson Soft artist who redesigned Bomberman into the iconic round, sleek hero we know today. His style lives on every time Bomberman drops a bomb and dashes away with that unmistakable charm.
When the only option to decline is "don't use our service" and/or "delete everything you've uploaded before AI even existed", then there's no consent and it shouldn't be legal. Especially when thousands of artists who uploaded have died before AI existed.
