Finally got the big CRT down into the basement and set up. Sadly the belt on my laserdisc player finally wore out so I can use it until I get it repaired, but the games work!

Finally unpacked the boxes of #Commodore64 books my dad packed and put in the attic back in the 80s when he started using IBMs instead. A small portion of these were mine, but there are books he bought for me but thought I wouldn't understand (Assembly Language For Kids, specifically)

Reposting my #DragonCon schedule for anyone who is going to be there this week. I am thrilled to be moderating and participating on panels in the Digital Media, Video Game, and Independent Film tracks this year!

I just got off work and will now start packing. Even though I'm local, I stay in the Hyatt and will be getting down there tomorrow.

See you there?

The current #Atari just announced the Atari 2600+ and I ordered it. https://atari.com/products/atari-2600-plus

• Emulated console, but takes actual #Atari2600 and #Atari7800 cartridges
• HDMI Output
• Serial port controllers (so the old controllers SHOULD work, and the new ones work on classic hardware)

Other classic console manufacturers take note...

Spare some thoughts for social media coordinators out there. These past few months have been rough, to say the least. The landscape, and their job, is basically changing weekly and nobody knows what next week will bring.

(Virtually, with consent) hug a social media coordinator today. They need it.

On Episode 855 of my video game podcast, I'll be talking about how the FF16 demo sold me (but not others) and wonder if the European Tencent is now regretting trying to acquire every game studio. https://twitch.tv/VOGNetwork

I played the #FF16 demo this morning. I DID enjoy it and will get the full game. I like that it seems to be more of a linear experience.

Not too thrilled that it's yet another drab and muted medieval fantasy though, with lots of stone and dirt and mud. Hopefully the world design expands as you get farther in the game and more into the world.

I also was very glad I was playing in a very dark room - the beginning of the game would be hell to play in a brightly lit room with a dim TV.

#FF7R being two discs indicates to me that, if I bought it digitally, it would take up close to 1/5th of my monthly data cap just to download.

This is why I still buy physical.

I just watched a two hour video on a Doom 2 mod and it gave me a LOT of appreciation for it, moreso than if I played it myself. The context in the world of Doom modding and other references really make this an excellent watch.
