It's 2022, the year Soylent Green happens.

JWST has now slowed to "official" SR-71 speeds.

Zoom is a good thing. I can conduct business and fart and fart and fart totally carefree!

Do you think WATA Games would grade my emulation collection?

Do we really need the letter Q? Seems like all the words that use it could be replaced with a KW. "Iraq" could just as easily be spelled "Irak."
-
It's funny quite a lot of Arabic words gets the Q substituted for a K when translated to English, which makes it sounds more harsh. I think this comes from Arabic sounding the Q as a C sound, that we associate with the letter K. The irony is the Q sound in Arabic is probably one of the few non-harsh constanents as most of the letters require throat gymnastics.
You could use a KWERTY keyboard though, and sing God Save The Kween, or go on a Kwest for the Holy Grail. I dibs a Kwarter of the profits you make though as a Kwest giver.

I'm afraid I officially entered the 'They Make Remakes of Games I Didn't Give a Fuck About' age.

Tonight I'm watching a streamed C64/Amiga etc demo party on Twitch.

Earlier in the broadcast, the Swedish minister of digitalization was on, soon interviews with Dave Haynie and Bil Herd, besides the demo compos. -
Out of curiosity, what Console Generation do you think the 5200 falls in?
-
Out of trying to satisfy my own madness, I put it in late 2nd-early 3rd gen (where 7800 is full 3rd gen, and 2600 is standard 2nd gen).
To me it sits in the same category as the Colecovision and the SG-1000 of sitting inbetween the 2nd and 3rd commercial generations as they don't fit nicely into either bracket. I think even then I'm being a little generous to it, and its probably closer to an intellivision level which I regard as late 2nd gen.
because its the internet, one day I'll present my findings with a revised generation system based on game detail and console capabilities rather than where it sits year wise by sales. Then everyone get to poke all the holes into my theory like any good troll thread.

So I see ebay is still teeming with morons. I've been watching a Guardian cart that had a BIN of $75 bucks. Some nimrod came and killed the bin in the first hour with a $10 bid. It just ended for $95. Has anyone in the history of Ebay that killed a BIN and wound up saving $$? Never made sense to me.
-
I've never been a fan of having both options available. I'm a devil for making an offer on these types of auctions and yes, sometimes it's accepted at between the starting and BIN price. I'm happy to kill a BIN if there is a chance of me getting the item much cheaper with a bid. I don't think about other people if I don't own it myself yet.

Why do people post nonsensical comments on my YouTube videos?

If a song exists, there should be a Metal version of it on YouTube.

I only now discovered the free retro games that came with Amazon Prime. NOICE.

Twitch Prime, presumably Amazon will just get rid of the Twitch name one day. Its now called "Prime Gaming".
It includes various B rated games, some of which might be ones you thought "oh, I wouldn't mind trying this sometime".
I've been "saving" each game that comes out since they started doing it, and I'll be honest I don't think I've actually booted one of them up, but if you haven't got anything to play - it might be worth a shot.

You have a newly married couple who have to share one computer with Internet access, what are the odds that the marriage will survive?

Helo Kamil,
May I ask you for contact e-mail, if it is no problem for you ... ?

A couple of days ago I tried to start back up on Channel F development to get something "moving" on the screen. I failed miserably and sulked.
I think I could make music keyboard program though, it just wont have anything on screen change.
-
its probably just me to be honest, assembly for it is similar to consoles that came out around the same time, but being earlier than the 2600 there is a few other oddities to take note of, a bit more you have to do yourself (no player0 player1 easy manipulation of movement - everything on screen has to be repainted over, location stored and then painted somewhere else).
I've got a lot of things down:
I can wipe the screen
I can change colours of things
I can paint a picture on the screen
I can register controller and console presses and branch if pressed
I can make beeps happen
So I'm nearly there

Anybody care if I get rid of the images next to the links on my Atari page:

I am never buying another new videogame console. Feels good to be off the rollercoaster. Launch day? Don't care.

Opinion time! Should I bother with a Wii or go right to a Wii U? I have a modded Gamecube.

Do you say "Halloween" or "Holloween"? I've noticed most people say it like the a sound like in "cat", but some pronounce it as the o sound like in "dog".

"..Who does number 2 work for? ..."

So the word "speeded" was on the front page of the newspaper today. I questioned its validity as a word, but as it turns out, it is a word. "Sped" can also be used.
