Extent of the Jam

Polaris for the Atari 2600 YouTube video by Highretrogamelord

It’s also on Atari! youtu.be/1g7kGlUK8K8?...

I've just had an amazing idea

I love in Goldeneye and Perfect Dark how the guns track targets, allow you to shoot around corners, and how each handles differently in terms of how they aim even. I wish this had been adopted by more later FPS games.

I got into that tracker hyperfocus mode. Submitted to weeklybeats :)

Also the song length was a total accident.

Get fucked, Bowser! Hm looks like Mario 64 makes you do the Bowser’s Submarine level still, though. Ah well.

That and it used to be the sole way of knowing what games were even coming out

That’s on my list of games to give another chance to

When I was a kid, the gaming mags were pretty much there to hype the big games and let you know what was coming up. I think moments when the gaming press isn’t just a big advertisement are relatively brief.

It’s weird living through so many events that erode your faith in the public, just one event at a time, and then eventually you don’t really respect most people at all.

I drank all my roommate’s spiced rum that night, puked everywhere, and passed out.

Oh! I forgot about the coup where he tried to get his own VP bumped off. How was he even allowed to run again?

Dude died at 30, too 🤷

Like it was years of pundits saying how you had to run a campaign juuuuust right and there was strategy involved or some shit. Nope! What a truckload of crap.

I didn’t think he’d win because I thought people would be turned off by what an obvious creep he was. Then I thought W era Rs wouldn’t play ball with him. Then I thought he’d lose his court cases after stealing documents. Then I thought he wouldn’t be reelected because his first term was a disaster.

Same. I was bullied every day and was either told it was my fault or got just the worst advice from the supposed adults. I guess we were both chosen to be the school punching bag. 🍻

I brought a pretzel sign to a protest and got hassled by security 🤣

“What’s that on your sign”
“Oh it’s a salted snack”

Yeah when I was a kid I thought “the emperor’s new clothes” was less literal than it turned out to be.

I have ADHD and had delayed development. So anyway here I am at 46 watching fellow fully grown adults be complete morons. I have to wonder in some sense— is it because they never had to really *try*?

I like cured meats and there is no cure

The public didn’t exactly want to avoid it, either. Like you can’t elect a total psycho, who was a completely known quantity at that point, and be like “oh gosh I can’t believe he’s getting us into a war”

And watching a million Americans die of Covid, much of which was preventable. I think we all came out the other side of both of these things feelings like life is considered cheap in this country. It definitely wasn’t before.

What was the post apocalyptic door game that had a graphical frontend and Bart Simpson was one of the enemies you could encounter?

Oh my god I haven’t thought about barren realms forever. I mostly did lord and the pit

Xybots 2 when

Yeah, it was all double scanned.

Who remembers Legend of the Red Dragon (L.o.R.D.)?

Most VGA displays prolly barf on that. I’ve got an old Dell monitor here that will display low res through its composite jack but I’m not sure it’ll do low res if it’s over VGA. Now i wonder.
