Stop spreading lies and misinformation. It's 3.4 billion casual gamers who play on their phone. There is no guarantee they own a TV.

It doesn't need to be better than the Switch, WE have Market Research!  Do YOU have market research?   Yeah Didn't think so.   (Haters!)

The market research much also be telling them to still be redesigning the PCB and other things in 2022 for a console ready for 2020.

Via Nick Richards - "We feel confident that we will be able to take some significant cost out of the system as we move forward. Now that we are gathering more data on running the system in different environmental situations, we are starting to get a better understanding on how the system is generating heat as well as new PCB layout options – both allow us to simplify/shrink the PCBs and thus reduce cost. Now that we have gone through a couple iterations on the assembly line we also feel we can make some simple design changes to reduce assembly and test times, in turn reducing cost and increasing production throughput."

It has been sunny and highs of 18C. Nice.

63 Tomorrow!!! WooHoo!!

58 with mostly cloudy skies

I bet the NSA would love to have all that social media data...

I bet they've got it.

I'm trying to upload afile to a forum. Do I have to post a certain numger of posts before I get permission, thanx

LOL!

Yup! It’s like my pappy would always say: it’s ALL downhill after forty! LOL

Those kernels are hot too-- I have a popcorn stand and when I scooped up some kernels along with the popcorn and put them in a Ziploc bag they melted through!

Forgery!

Crazy. Still have a TV I bought there. And car stereo stuff.

Wait, you could buy things at Circuit City? All I remember about that place is every time I went the checkout counter was in a different place and there was never anyone actually manning it (or if there was, they told me to go somewhere else).

So you're buying some RCA Cables...Can I get you an extended warranty on that? How about one for that bag of Cheetos?

So much for 120 years on existing power cell

Keep smoking those cigars. They're like health food for your lungs and heart.

He's probably thinking of sequel to 'Kindergarten Cop' as 'Hospital Cop' where he yells at chatty nurses.

Had to turn the AC on yesterday with a whole 3 days of not running the furnace. 85 in STL today.

Our nice Summery 74 degree weather turned into 39 degrees plus rain (Realfeel 28) Burrr!!

I hope it's nice Sunday for Primus and Mastodon at Red Rocks!!

Nothing today, but hoping to find something this weekend. The Highway 80 garage sale is this weekend. Last year I found a couple tubs of stuff (three 2600s and lots of various controllers) for $5. https://www.facebook.com/Hwy80Sale/

Two Speedy Freezes. Maybe some Culver's later.

Yesterday was better - a CIB Powerstar for my 800 :-)

Nothing. I wanted to, but the trip to Tucson I was planning didn't happen.

My condolences.

Very sorry to hear this.  My condolences to you and the family.

I would like to thank everyone for their well wishes. I felt compelled to mention what happened, because I wanted the good people here to know what a good, incredibly loving man he was/is. I was (and to some extent, still am) feeling lost. I had to talk about it. RIP bro’, I love you.

Happy to hear she was ok

@ColecoGamer Yeah Mike. I was down there when I had issues with Covid. The ER was packed like going into a DMV office. My results came back similar like having a usual cold during the winter season. But sadly in my location, hospitals hare overwhelmed with patients and receiving appointments can take months.  

Glad she was OK!   Sending Good Vibes your way!

Hey, that is a fantastic idea, Charlie. It’s funny you should mention the home kits. I was just at the local gas station filling up the car. When I walked in to pay, they had Covid in-home kits available for purchase. I don’t picture gas stations as the best place to get one of these kits, but the timing of your comment and my seeing this in-home kit is coincidental.

@doctorclu I’m happy to hear that your father is doing well. This Covid virus is no joke; it ruins lives rather quickly. I can’t wait for the pandemic to be over, if this isn’t just wishful thinking on my part. It feels like you are jeopardizing your own life by just grocery shopping. I’m sure I am not alone in thinking that I never thought I would live to see a modern day plague sweeping through our world.

@ColecoGamer. Good to know. Sorry for the dely. Did you ever purchase the home kit bro?

The Ghost Breakers (1940) Bob Hope

@Master Phruby That is a very good movie and one that my dad and I have watched a few times.  Definitely a very good one to check out.

Sorry, i was referring to Ghostbusters (the cartoon from the 1970s) vs The Real Ghostbusters. 

We have nearly all the Songbird Jaguar games in the AtariAge Store now. http://atariage.com/store/

Mad Bodies?? Surely that is a joke - it looks nice but has terrible gameplay. I honestly don't think it went through any testing... For homebrews, if you like Asteroids, definitely checkout Rebooteroids here at AA. Now -that- is a good game.

Not a joke! And the seller is awesome! (And this guy)

Oh wait, they already used a hard money lender. They just called him a "board member" and his loan a "contribution" while hiding the fact that he gets $100 from every console sold until his "contribution" is repaid (hint: that makes it debt, not equity)..... for as long as they could get away with it.

Also, another hint: it's very common for risky loans to have a covenant requiring that the lender get a seat on the Board of Directors to protect the lender's interests by being able to vote for the direction of the org. I wouldn't be shocked if there's a covenant requiring the Lender Board Member's approval for any major transactions. We'll never know since the loan agreement ("contribution") won't be public, nor are the bylaws, but I'd venture a guess that this is precisely what happened, and given their funding issues, is a complete nail on the coffin.

And if they DID attempt to characterize a $600k loan as an equity contribution, which many have tried in the past, they're facing a significant IRS hit for imputed interest if there isn't any in the underlying agreement.

I sort of do this stuff for a living.

Curses! Foiled again!

Whitest rap ever. Only outnerded by "have you played Atari today."

I'm getting a XEGS, who needs a "toy robot" when you got a computer keyboard!

Yeah, I've gotten a lot of cold days this spring. Makes me wonder what summer will be like.

I think we got 6 inches of rain last night.

Tons of rain last night through mid afternoon. Flurries now. Probably snow on the ground in the morning.

^That'll clean you out!

I prefer the standard-issue WhiteCastle blowouts.

I ate a burger at Burger King yesterday. I spent a few hours pooping last night.

Yeah I hope you're better!

GI issues? Like war wounds and PTSD?

Awesome news that you are feeling better.

I agree, GoldLeader; customs should be held responsible for this debacle!

Glad the seller didn't give you a hard time

Glad to hear it worked out fine!

Welcome the future of 64 bit multi-media entertainment.

Watch out for the plastic fumes!

@Is650 Nothing smells better than the intoxicating scent of 64-bit plastic fumes!

A few months ago I was talking to someone at work about the lack of fantasy FPSs.  I'd love to see a modern HeXen.

You and I both! It looks like Phil will be reviving these dead IPs.

I'd love a Witchhaven remake....

San Diegan here. The weather will be 60 an sunny tomorrow. I'm an amateur meteorologist. For real. No, jest jokin'.

For the cost of shipping, I'll send you a box full.

-25 here in Butte Montana!

Can't wait to get my town back.

Just saw It last night at a drive-in... the new Annabelle was the second movie. Went in thinking Annabelle was going to be much better, but was totally the opposite. It was pretty good! Annabelle was sooooo sloooow moving that we ended up leaving 3/4 of the way through.

Going to a 8:40 showing of It tonight. Can't wait.

Sorry to hear that man, hope your brother is okay?

He passed away a week ago of a massive heart attack. ?

Sorry man that's horrible, hopefully he's in a better place.
