Note :

- the binary translates as "HATEHATE" on repeat

- the pair of punchcode tapes representing AM's talkfield, are from the original short story. The left one is "I THINK, THEREFORE I AM" and the right is "COGITO ERGO SUM"

there’s a website where you put in two musicians/artists and it makes a playlist that slowly transitions from one musician’s style of music to the other’s

it’s really fun

lady gaga -> napalm death takes a weird detour through epic rap battles of history

This is actually really useful for finding music that’s in between genres that I wouldn’t know to look for.

This has nothing to do with books but it’s COOL

I feel like this could be useful for trying to slowly pull yourself away from your depression music to something more uplifting without it being jarring…

Hey be sure to go to your blog settings, head down to visibility and turn on this little button that prevents Tumblr from stealing your posts and using it to train AI learning models. Good job, fuckheads, great update.

PSA: Tumblr/Wordpress is preparing to start selling our user data to Midjourney and OpenAI.

you have to MANUALLY opt out of it as well.

to opt out on desktop, click your blog ➡️ blog settings ➡️ scroll til you see visibility options and it’ll be the last option to toggle.

to opt out on mobile, click your blog ➡️ scroll then click visibility ➡️ toggle opt out option.

if you’ve already opted out of showing up in google searches, it’s preselected for you. if you don’t have the option available, update your app or close your browser/refresh a few times. important to note you also have to opt out for each blog you own separately, so if you’d like to prevent AI scraping your blog i’d really recommend taking the time to opt out.

referencees

As others have noted, the opt out option does not guarantee that wordpress hasn’t already sold this data to train AI before the opt out option was given to us.

Yes, you should opt out, but this is not a protection of our data or the contents of our posts. Opt out does not protect deactivated blogs, abandoned blogs, and blogs whose owner is deceased, among others. And do not for a moment think that AI companies will honor this opt out option retroactively.

They’ve already been taking your data, they’re just telling us about it now. If this is something that upsets you as much as it does me, please go to tumblr support and leave your feedback about this situation. While you should be direct, please be polite and mindful that most staff members are not involved in this decision. They can only communicate users unhappiness with it.

another sound found in the aug11, ‘99 prototype of spyro 2 - a somewhat disturbing groaning sound hunter makes in scorch if he is struck by a coconut. this is one of several ‘animal-like’ sound effects for hunter that were cut or rendered unused in final releases

Game Informer issues 63 (July 1998) and 64 (August 1998) - Spyro the Dragon previews

Among the long list of publications that wrote up preview articles displaying early builds of Spyro the Dragon was Game Informer, a magazine prominent enough have access to versions of the game and press materials that were likely only shown to a very small handful of publications overall. These exclusive materials can be seen in issues 63 (images 1 - 2) and 64 (images 3 - 6), which I obtained copies of several months ago.

There aren’t any good scans of these magazines online, but I’d like to rectify that at some point - for now, I’ve got these photos of the Spyro articles. Not only do they include press screenshots that have never been seen elsewhere, but we also see how Beast Makers looked in a version of the game earlier than the released June 15th build, something that no other prerelease media source to date has achieved.

In issue 63, we see a collection of internal press screenshots - some of these have been seen before and are well known (depicting a version of the game from around April 1998, informally known as the “Gold Dragon Build”, due to the crystal dragons featuring an unfinished design. Additionally, there are screenshots showing a build with a red gem in the HUD, rather than the green gem seen in the Gold Dragon Build or the chest seen in later builds. This is aptly referred to as the “Red Gem Build”, and has previously only been seen on PlayStation Merchandising VHS tapes. It seems to be from some time around late April to early May, and is a little bit earlier than the build used at E3 1998.

Issue 64 contains interviews with Insomniac Games and Stewart Copeland, concept art and photos of internally used tools, and a very funny picture of Ted Price with an absolutely gigantic television.

If you look carefully at the screenshots used here, Misty Bog’s portal appears to be totally absent, as is the Balloonist. Attempts to replicate these images in the June 15th build have revealed that Misty Bog’s portal definitely isn’t supposed to look like that from a distance, and the Balloonist should be visible from where the player is standing, so these aren’t just visual artefacts from the portal or the fog.

We also get to see an earlier version of what appears to be Twilight Harbor, but with a very differently structured ending section. The moby placement at the end of the level in the June build seems to align with this version of the level’s geometry!
