Some stuff I ran across today. Youtube has been feeding me stuff for some reason: This one visually looks alot like a jrpg/xcom mix I worked on and abandoned around 2010: This one makes me think a really good art / visual design person made it with no coding skills at all. You see stuff...

You might have some delay when switching modes. Some monitors can take a second or two. Maybe stay at native res and scale?

I watched the roman telescope launch. Anyone notice that one of the boosters didn't land on the pad? Or maybe the camera just froze or something. They said both landed ok so was just wondering if it was just off camera and landed in the grass or something.

I wanted to watch this show, so I spent 50 years and several hundred billion dollars looking for it, but I just can't find it. Maybe my math is wrong.

The GTA games usually have horrendous control latency, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. There used to be articles on gamasutra measuring various games with a high speed camera.

I'm so envious that some of you can remember so much. I know I saw it in a theatre, but I can't remember which one or who I was with. I don't remember being upset, my memory is of being surprised, kind of a kids' "that was cool!" you'd say after watching a bunch of car crashes or something.

I still have my C64 boxes for 1 and 3 and 4. 2 was a flimsy thin box that didn't survive, but had a fantastic map. Few of my coins and such are left as I carried them around alot as a kid.

and Gorf!

For some reason I thought he had died years ago. I think of him often because my mom is elderly and blasts the tv and there are these annoying GMC commercials with a guy trying so hard to sound like optimus.

I watched most of this live, really funny game:

Those really needed cartridges to be decent. I remember omega race, but that is about it.

OOF! Yea I used to type those in. Most were from Compute magazine. Eventually they got smart and added parity checks, but the early days were type and pray.

Yea I think there's some hope that there will be enough people grabbing these new machines to sell a few games. There's also been an effort to make some other slightly more powerful C64 like machines. To me they are all about 3 - 5x too expensive. I have nostalgia for this stuff, but not 500...
