 Sun Mar 10 18:13:57 +0000 2019

That whole movie is just a giant WTF of comedy setups that don't get any resolution, and plots that appear at the end of second and third acts that ALSO go nowhere. And there seem to be "payoffs" to things that were never set up.

 Sun Mar 10 18:16:01 +0000 2019

Rodney is *incredibly* sweaty for about 40% of the film so much so that he wipes the sweat off his face three times during the picture. Those were the *good* takes! For about a quarter of the movie I think he was on cocaine.

Nobody decided, it was a limitation of using off the shelf chips. CGA could do 16 colors in text, but there wasn't enough memory left for color storage for graphical mode. So it's essentially RGBi with the B & i fixed, and leaving the choice for R & G to be either 1 or 0

Every time someone claims that videogames cause violence there's an avalanche of "I used to play Mario, and now I eat mushrooms and jump down pipes" and variations, but the real thing that never seems to pop up might be "I love Counterstrike, & now I have a collection of weapons"

 Sat Mar 23 22:10:47 +0000 2019

I don't believe that violent media directly causes violence. I've been playing violent games my whole life. There's 20+ years of studies that say the same. But media has power to contribute to culture.

 Sat Mar 23 22:12:12 +0000 2019

I guess what I'm saying while we all love videogames, we shouldn't discount a possible effect of extremely popular hyper realistic games where the one is constantly shooting Middle Eastern people (using weapons licensed from arms manufacturers), & it's impact on today's culture.

Thinking of Joe Pilato as Rhodes in Day of the Dead. An incredibly over the top performance. The character is basically a cartoon, a little more & he'd come off as funny. And yet the way Pilato plays him, he's still incredibly threatening. You can't wait for him to bite it.

Oof. Not digging this Android update. At all.

And they took away my favorite button! No more option to "END ALL", it's now an a lot more boring "Close All" 😥

On my god, I'm gonna bury myself in printer port sound DACs. It's like early 90s Russia all over again!

So many exciting videos ahead! I just wish I had more time to actually edit them together. But they are certainly coming!

 Sat Mar 30 17:18:07 +0000 2019

Remember:
First person shooters didn't begin in the 90s, neither did they begin on IBM PC.
Here's MIDI Maze on Atari ST from 1987. U can find earlier titles that fit the bill depending on how far u wanna stretch it, but this clearly is a 3D multiplayer fps

I personally don't like to count things with discreet movement into the genre, but like I said, genre definitions are amorphous, so yes, this technically counts.

Look into the VGA240 utility. It forces VGA 13h into the 60 Hz mode by making it output in 640x480 letterboxed. A real life saver for modern capture cards & streaming.

If I can offer any comfort:
I never dealt with the customer directly, so I have no idea how old they were, and neither do any sources that claim to. And I accepted the coupon, they got their 20¢ off, and everyone had a good laugh. It was a story with a happy ending.
