Iโ€™m guessing SkyDance just doesnโ€™t care about CBS and will happily just use it to get on Trumpโ€™s good side

Corrupt as fuck

HyperCard 2.0 Manuals

https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/hypercard-20-manuals

These manuals are, I believe, those that came with a big box release of HyperCard 2.0. They are international English manuals, as is demonstrated by the Z in front of the part number [โ€ฆ]

The Ig Nobel is incredible , one year an Indian guy won it for calculating the average surface area of an elephant and during his acceptance they had an elephant hold up a sign with the surface area of the scientist on it, they do showbiz better than the Oscars

OpenMSX claims to support the Palcom Laserdisc games, but I've never tried it

Unfortunately there's a special control port that is only on a few models; I'm not sure if there's a way to adapt the signals to the more common RS-232 port seen on a lot of newer LaserDisc players

Yeah it's really interesting; the MSX VHD games (which includes Time Gal, apparently) do use a separate cassette for the program

I believe this is basically the full coin-op laserdisc footage! But with the graphics for your ship and such generated by the MSX so there's a bit of a downgrade

Astron Belt disc for the palcom MSX laserdisc system, and its sleeve

Astron Belt disc for the palcom MSX laserdisc system, and its sleeve

Today's random game Saturday is a game I've never got to play, because it killed my Laserdisc player-- Sega's Astron Belt! These palcom MSX discs are interesting, they actually store the program as audio like a cassette tape.

My natural hair color is actually the brown; but yeah this is perfectly natural fading, I've taken decent care of it but it's been well over six weeks since I had it done so it's to be expected

Seriously, my community and city supports me but I have to live in fear because some dumb fucks a thousand miles away saw a scary commercial on the TV about someone using pronouns in a way they hadn't seen before

Fat Bobby Yeah, Iโ€™ll be real right from the start with this one: Fat Bobby is not an amazing game, not even close! It is interesting, though, for its concept, the context surrounding its release, and fโ€ฆ

New blog post time!

This week's game is Fat Bobby, an Atari Lynx platformer starring everyone's favorite guitarist. This may seem like a standard genre piece, but the more you dig into its history, the weirder it gets. Depending on where you get your Fat Bobby, you may have a different experience!

Great thread about Sega and Brazil! This is a fascinating chapter in video game history, dunno why people would be dismissive of it

When someone's reaction to "don't call me dude" is to angrily triple down and start ranting about how they get no respect, it's hard for me not to assume that they were, in fact, using dude as a subtle misgendering

If their reaction is "oh, sorry", then no harm no foul (I don't really mind dude)

this is probably the most embarassing source code i will ever put up. VB6 code from 2003 that i had been convinced was lost forever github.com/maddievision...

if you were in the emu / rom hacking scene in the early 2000s you probably remember this program lol
