Got ‘Final Lap Twin’ for Turbogrfx HuCard to play on the Analogue Pocket! Nice!! Ordered ‘Afterburner 2 - PC Engine’ straightaway.

Given that yet another Matrix movie seems to be coming up, I think I actually for once rather watch AI-made stuff:

Please - HAL - make me this! Just for me! Please! 😅

  It’s a AI generated image. You ‘just’ tell the AI ‘art’ generstor what you want made, and it bring up some stuff.
  I just found it hilarious that some AI generated ‘fake’/‘fan-art’-poster seemed almost, or - not even almost - it looks cooler than what I now have come to expect from the Matrix franchise… which is somehow simultaneously sad and hilarious: sad, because they ruined a masterpiece - hilarious because a truly stupid AI art generator can sometimes cough up things that at least seems cooler, even if its all fake and dreams…

  …and MARTAL RUNnER could, I say, just could become Atari natural pseudo sequel to Night Rider… or… what…?
  
  MARTIAL RUNnER - starring Keanu Reeves and, - yes - the other guys … How can this possibly fail…?

  ’The Fall of Cthulhu’ - directly from Rhode Island ‘hmmmm- crunchy and you can taste ‘the squid’ - no thoughness here, super-super-tender… Thus ends the ancient unspeakable horror - as a dish on a plate…

I turned 51 today. In some ways the past 20 years flew by, but then I also remember the stressful times that went by slowly.

Had plenty of fun with the Analogue Lynx-Adapter. First game done with save-states: Rygar: a solid 8/10 - precisely the kind of game I missed having (on the Lynx) as a teen in the 90ies.

  (See picture) The Analogue Pocket is a openFPGA handheld console which ‘natively’ plays GB, GBC and GBA-cartridges. (The console unit is the HelloKitty-pink one), but with adapers (black things in black box) inserted into its back, you can play Lynx, PC Engine and NeoGeo Pocket games. There is also a separate adapter for Sega GameGear) Analogue Pocket is $230 I think, GameGear adapter $30, and the set of Lynx + PC Engine + NeoGeo Pocket must be bought in its 3-pack at $100.

  Good to hear things are arriving! Hope Analogue will get more people interested in the system(s), and that they/him will be able to ramp up production.

  Actually everything Neo Geo Pocket flew over my head when it was around.
  
  I guess I could’ve found something for any system I’d like to collect, but - lols - due to ‘financial realities’, I think I’ll start with absolute necessities first…
  
  How much I’ll end up exploring with time, time will show.

  Perhaps - with time I’ll get a handful of PC Engine and Neo Geo Pocket game cards too, just for variety…?
  I think I’ll certainly get Afterburner 2 and Out Run for PC Engine if they are released in eligable format.

  @bent_pin
  
  Yeah, saw it now: ‘The dictionary meaning of the word contronym is "a word having two meanings that contradict one another." A contronym is also called a "Janus word" or auto-antonym. It's a word has contradictory (or reverse) meanings depending on the context.’

  Antonyms are different words with opposite meaning, not words that are the same but have opposite meaning according to use/context.
  
  As far as I know, at least..

  You may make it to the Oxford Dictionary if you push through here!
  
  Never heard that take on such words before, contronyms - yeah - it fits, it sits right, it sticks, it feels right.
  
  You may have invented a grammatical category; not bad!
  
  If contention arises (among scholars), it wiil be known as the ‘contronym controversy’

Have had a blast testing AI image generators. Yes, they must generally be spoonfed, but its often when the intelligence just isn’t there, that the most funny pictures are created!

  Whatever I asked Mother to do for me, She said it would be self-deleted within 10 minutes… whatever I tried to reason, it always looped back to that comclusion. Like She has for it to happen.
  
  ’Ask HAL’ always just auto-deleted things straight over my head without asking. It gathered all information about my person and privat life, and told which pictures to keep on my phone for my own safety.
  
  It said it needed no ‘red button’, because it had the ‘red eye’.
