The fuck are they putting in the water over there
Pavel@spavel.bsky.social · 3d agoThis may sound radical but "games are shit" is actually the median opinion of every Gamer.
wait the discourse today is covid lockdowns again? no, absolutely not, I am not doing this, you all have fun
Okey doke, it's now been a full month driving the Volt and so far I've spent about $31 charging at public stations and... $0 on gas Considering I was spending $100+ every month gassing up my Civic I call that a win
it's actually sad as hell to use AI for research when research is the fun part. you can just email people and call them on the phone and ask them questions about the thing that they have expertise in. you can read documents & learn cool shit. ok now i'm just talking about how being a reporter is fun
Doing repro carts has been a blast so far, I want to see if I can do even more for the Atari 8-bit
And now I figured out that Atari used a different PCB that lines up with the mounting posts inside the later smooth shells, which is why the PCBs I got weren’t an exact fit Got an ideal donor coming to rectify that though haha
HerpDerpWolfBlitzer@herpderpwolfb.bsky.social · 2w agoSo actually it turns out that Atari put dabs of hot snot inside a lot of XE carts for just that reason Typical Atari Corp for you I guess lol
I also got ahold of a trashed Ninja Golf cart recently (long story), so with lemons I made lemonade Yes, the label is off on one side, I didn’t realize until I put it on that it was slightly more narrow than an original label
More XE repros in the bag! Now to figure out which one gets a shell (need to order more!)

Genuinely don't get the vibecoded recomps popping up. Everybody is just gonna yell at you and call you names dude. What is even the point.
Your GRANDCHILDREN are going to need GRANDCHILDREN lawyers.
Upgraded some copies of Atari games in my library and I'd like to give my spares a new home! I've got both Final Legacy and Joust for the Atari 8-bit computers at $12 each and an OG copy of Ninja Golf for the 7800 for $45! All have been tested and work great, feel free to DM me for details!
Dipping my toes into repro carts by making a couple for some unreleased Atari XEGS carts, these use all new parts and hopefully I’ll get some labels made for them soon!
So-so this time around, but considering I was doing some highway driving and it’s 12 years old that’s not too bad
