Eva. Orange nails. Red hair. Sweetest smile. Drinkin' Indiana Amber. Having a complimentary evening hooter. 'Bout to play a game. What game should I play?

That definitely killed something.

Smell that burning smell. It's your chakras.

Woke up to find that my Linux (LieNucks) desktop was gone and only my 'Menu' bar and my storage icons were left and, of course, some ROX file stuff telling me to save 'something' for the love of pete. I realized that I really LOVE my empty desktop and had considered clean wiping it for some time. HOUSEKEEPING?

You should be glad your menu bar is still there. Once when I updated my Debian, it found that the window manager I had used up to then no longer conformed to the license so it got removed, leaving me with a text prompt. Since then, I touch Linux with a long stick when it comes to using it as a desktop system.

New Poem for Eva (inspired by Lilith Nyx Branwen) BEFORE (By Jay Caraway) I'm so old I'm from the age of Gold Before Silver turned the seasons four and the winds cold I'm so lost by the Black sea tossed When my wings sagged weakly and my swept crossed I'm so blind now from an endless time The mere smell of Eva's hair resurrects Sublime I'm so far I'm like the faintest falling star That never shined next to Gods of Iron, Clay, and Tar

If the masses destroy the governments, it is not the weak servents rebelling against their masters. It is the master killing the wicked servents who refuse to serve!

Instead of fighting they should fall in love by becoming the word "Hi".

Psychic butt witness: When you see someone looking at someones butt who then reactes like something suddenly touched their butt and then look around, possibly making eye contact with or finding them intentionally looking around to avoid being butt psychic busted!!

Yes yes, you "patted her on the lower back" as a "friendly gesture." Sure. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/a-millionaire-a-hotel-maid-and-an-arrest-after-inauguration/2017/05/21/ceb3410e-397a-11e7-9e48-c4f199710b69_story.html?utm_term=.f883cbcff5c7

I'm a new STe owner. Give me upgrade advice
Papa replied to the Goat's topic in Atari ST/TT/Falcon Computers
Maybe not an 'upgrade' so to speak, but a 'grab' to then 'rip' into 'compact disks' to then have 'decruchable' games with awesome menus! AUTOMATION I use simple programs to convert the disk files back into 3.5 disks to be played on the real hardware! I don't know how much good a smoking fast processor would help with games, and it may not help in that the games would be too fast or wrong. I know that Amiga computers have this problem. You get a 2500 for the 030 and the processing speed for whatever you would use one for, but then all the games are too fast so you take out the 'upgrade' card (reverse mutating it into an 'merican made 2000) and get to use a virgin 68000 that plays the games at the perfect speed all the time and never got used due to the cheapness of industry. My 1040Ste is a CIA buyout with a rare serial number and it plays GRRRRREAT! I wouldn't upgrade it because it's so easy to work with as it is. I can back up and remake games using a PC so upgrading it really never seemed necessary and I know it's already special. GO ATARI!! (Also, AUTOMATION has some really excellent menu art that makes it all worth it!) -
Eighteen years married today (20 together) to my old lady Buttons (mother of our six delicious children...and more!)! Shout out to the most beautiful woman that could ever tolerate me and survive (if you could call living with me 'surviving'). I don't deserve you and you could easily do better, but I guess you're stuck washing me, petting me, feeding me, walking me, hanging out with me until I die or you find somebody better! I LOVE YOU!!\

Sounds like either a great way to remember lot's of cool information or a great way to expose yourself to that information and then forget it while sleeping all day!? The first thing that popped into mind (oh no), was one of my favorite syncretists (Samael himself on video) Santos Bonacci, saying (about Apple Cider Vinegar) "...you should rub it all over your body and lay in the sun for hours...". http://universaltruthschool.com/ Then I thought of this beautiful girl laying on a blanket in the sun (pretty sure she was buff but on her belly and looking down at the camera) in an internet video I saw about clearing calcification from ones pineal gland. She said to eat a whole lemon, seeds and all (not the skin), every morning or so.

Coleco strong-arming homebrew publishers and fan sites
Papa replied to TPR's topic in ColecoVision / Adam
I wonder if fan pages are the new free anti-advertisement or derailment method. FORUM was the ancient way and judgement was quick (unless there happens to be a festival around)! Like the Dwayne Johnson ads about his imprisonment over importing a muscle building formula that... ...YOU CAN BUY RIGHT NOW, RIGHT HERE!! (I came up with the Benny Hill thing, too, but nobody likes me.) *arms crossed -
I've just been thinking about how WWW is 666 and how the 'mark of the beast, or the number of his name' seems a lot like this. I'm not throwing this out there for crazy christian reasons, just the obvious correlation between the two things. It says "None may buy or sell or trade who does not have the mark of the beast or the number of his name". SO. If, all of the sudden, you can't seem to buy, sell, or trade you may have lost the mark somehow!? I mean that all of our information is through one giant, readily observable and harvestable pipeline... THE INTERNET! I can't really rely on a phone, letter, catalogs, or EVEN STORES! YES I WAS GETTING SOMEWHERE WITH THIS... All STORES must GO! People are probably realizing this as cutting out the greasy middle man would seem to be the biggest benefit of said INTERNET. It's not really to help you talk to each other, or watch ho's, or meet a statistically possible mate, or mate. IT'S TO CORRAL YOU so that if you piss even the slightest ball hair of one of them off they can make it like you don't exist. You can't just get a new phone number, move away, change some little detail here or there. ALL STORES will be RADIO SHACK unless it's a FOOD STORE, and you will need GAS and a CAR to reach one of those, while little drone's that watch and hear everything all the time constantly drop off little boxes of pizza, beer, packages from Amazon rats (by now being slowly replaced by robot 'rats'). I loved Radio Shack. I didn't care that it was grossly inflated pricing as I didn't have to seek things out online to find any reasonable prices like now. It makes me want to live in a cave with a naked woman and drink water from a stream and bath down stream and fork mash and eat grains, fruits, vegetables. Flip off weird metal god birds that shit frozen cubes into the ocean. Video games would be tickling her feet to see the different miniscule facial twitches and nose flares.

Coleco strong-arming homebrew publishers and fan sites
Papa replied to TPR's topic in ColecoVision / Adam
I was like...IS this FOR REAL about the little "ColecoVision" crappy rainbow snailtrail seventies t-shirt logo!?!? Make the thing look like a black cart TENGEN game and put "NOT FOR ANYONE", like South Park! Remember back when you were a kid and there was a channel that you didn't turn the TV to because of Benny Hill? WTF? -

Coleco strong-arming homebrew publishers and fan sites
Papa replied to TPR's topic in ColecoVision / Adam
I want at least most of those games eventually (although I'll be using some kind of nerdy controller other than a Colecovision (why did I just get scared to say Colecovision?) controller). I actually LOVE that Flora art and those adult games look excellent! The idea that video games are for kids is retardulous! I regulate screen time for my kids to around two hours (or slightly more) a day, divided into two chunks. That's under the complete understanding that if they don't want to play games or watch shows or other media they are free to PLAY WITH A STICK IN A HOLE IN THE FRONT YARD, OKAY! Are we afraid of the demographic that actually has the wallet? Did someone buy a weightless name and is now pointing it around yelling "SUE!"? Could you just not say the 'worlds-first-beany-baby-nintedo-deflector-actually-kinda-neat-8-bitter-"C"-word' anywhere and still sell all this, ahem, kid toy stuff? -
Most complete way to start 2600 Programming?
Papa replied to RoboticFridge's topic in 2600 Programming For Newbies
The best reasons (in my opinion) to use a BASIC thingy for gamishness, would be: 1) They have premade kernels. They know what the system can and can't do already and you get to fill in the blanks. You wanna Pac clone game? Use our premix multisprite kernel and make a dog run around eating cat crap out of glowing litterboxes. Not good if you have some radical idea out of nowhere that you need FULL CONTROL of every little detail (although VWBASIC gives you a LOT of control and set's you up the bomb (scrolling engine)) to get EXACT RESULTS you wont negotiate over. B) A$$embly takes a LONG time to piece together. You will find yourself truncated into one of the aforementioned kernel frameworks available in BASIC. I have done 'stuff' with Coco 3 and it's A$$ and its BORING and time consuming. In a few years you'll have a dog repelling VCS game we can all buy and enjoy! BASIC IS FAST! III) There are MANY easy to learn programming environments (BasiEGAXorz is FUN!) that are all around BASIC and can yield rapid results. You want to know BASIC very well, though. You want to be creative from the start. I'll always say BASIC because a$$embly resides in a closed in, memory restrained world that we are no longer in. You can program large, creative, and possible ROM intensive games cheaply and have fun with something that would be out of reach for many without these easy to use BASIC playthings. I LOVE BASIC CODING! IT'S FUN! -
Coming up with concept art for my new, extremely boring game, 'Mechs Again Stand Off' for the Sega CD, Atari 7800, Atari VCS and your mother.

I've never hear a thing you plug into a tv that eats batteries called a machine in my whole life. Like, there's this big blue sonic head on the floor plugged in while it's batteries leak acid on your kids legs, and you're like "PICK UP THAT MACHINE!" However, when you have a Plug & Play MACHINE, back in the day that meant you could put ISA or PCI cards IN IT (yeah, the CARD isn't MACHINE, I GET IT). touche

How did Ms.Pacman have multiple ghosts on screen?
Papa replied to DementedPurple's topic in Atari 2600 Programming
I run into these limitations all the time when programming Street Fight World and pretty much all of the other games I've made. Not Titan Axe, though. I wanted ZERO flicker in my first published work, so there are never more than three sprites (now that you mention it) at any time, anywhere sharing the same horizontal row. With Street Fight World it is a big deal as I control the fireballs (they HAD to be extra instances of the player 1 sprite, or whatever sprite they were sprouting out of). With these horizontal limitations and the overall speed limitation of the VCS I'm left with two different ways of creating 'fireballs'. For my Ryu clone I recreate the sprite once while zooming and halving the character all at once. This gives me the little Pac-Man-blue-blinky-ghost-fireball I like for my Ken and Ryu clones and cuts down on flicker. For my Sakura clone I actually use one of the extra DPC+ kernel sprites while constantly redrawing both hot little halves of Blossom. There are virtually always four sprites cycling around to create the extra large characters (two halves being updated all the time) 'cept when a fireball has just disappeared and Way and Edge are still updating to the 'two-halves' sprites (necessary for color variations in the full character image), although I've worked around the 'everything-is-a-line-on-Atari' problem as well, by layering sprites to create more colors as they are covered, like in my Zonic (Sonic clone) demo, where there are a LOT of COLORS for the main character, and multilayered and multicolored enemy sprites. I know about these shaved tiger sprites, man... -
I thought this was about old ISA and PCI cards that were 'Plug & Pray' compatible, meaning that Microshaft Winblows 95 would automagically detect the Perry Farrell without installing drivers!?! Sure I own shitty plug into your tv crappy battery drinker landfill supporting caustic acid leaky toys. All over the place. Plug & Play Sound Blaster 16!!!

The Rover Pipeline: What a mess!
Papa commented on simbalion's blog entry in Musings of the White Lion
Someone might rack this up to the 'cost of sovereignty', or, at the very least, a more isolationist approach. I just can't help but think that this is a taste of what every smaller country that we come in and destroy with industry (in usually more drastically irreversible ways than police-action-war) gets to see. I certainly don't want all these violations, but can't help but be reminded of the FDA, who writes laws without the people and can close down factories selling diet food for making claims of treating 'obesity', which is now categorized as 'you have it if your overweight'. We've been destroying other peoples back yards in worse ways for a long time and it's happening to us. I hope it's not the cost of isolationism.
