TACODON #20576 Posted September 17, 2019 I legitimately feel bad for the Historian. The guy is more or less on their side and has alway seemed to be fair enough in how he treats people. These trolls aren't biting the hand feeding them, they are mauling the person. I keep being amazed at how terrible that group is getting and they just keep shocking me with more escalation. 8 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree- if anything I've appreciated how impartial he's been in the face of those psychopaths. Sometimes I get the better of myself, but I really respect the job he's tried to do. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure what you mean by "fake," because it was posted in the official Atari VCS Facebook and had a few dozen reaction GIFs after it from hungry followers. Then they deleted it. It was not a fake post, but maybe it was a false announcement of an announcement. Someone at "Atari" must have sent the social media minion a message about teasing not being nice.

It's easier to count the annoucements themselves: just two counting the one they're finally not going to make. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really don't think "we" (dorks with opinions on AtariAge) are the bad guys here. Emperor Karl appears to have contracted Sheev Palpatine Syndrome. Pick on the innocent much Karl? Don't give up JP.

The Historian #20599 Posted September 18, 2019 The Gameboard-1 is like a flat computer with a square display, 16 inches-by-16 inches. It is thin, light, and portable, and you can expand it by connecting it to other Gameboard-1s. You can also connect a private screen, like your smartphone, to it so you can play a game like poker, where you want to hide the cards from other players. It’s a novel idea that comes from an unlikely pair of founders, Shail Mehta and Rob Wyatt, who created The Last Gameboard company in January. https://venturebeat.com/2019/09/12/gameboard-1-will-be-a-digital-slate-for-your-tabletop-board-games/ 1 2 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
