Huh. I’ll check it out, their series on pasta was really good.

I am very much into this kind of stuff.

Collassal Cave Adventure, 1976

I have fond memories of playing it, but I never beat it and never even really understood how to beat it.

Have you ever played Sweet Home for the NES? It’s like Luigi’s mansion crossed with Final Fantasy themed after a Japanese horror movie.

Damn straight!

Issue would not exist if so. Non-affiliated voters who aren’t tricked into it aren’t seeking out party registration.

Not all AI is machine learning.

It’s not an LLM but it is absolutely AI.

Not a ROM hack, but Redigit, before going on to make Terraria, made something called SMB X, remixing SMB 1, 2, 3, World, and Zelda 1 and 2. It also had its own level editor. Totally fun.

Absolute best way to play Pokemon Red & Blue, IMO.

Soul Calibur

AFAICT it was all done in a four-year period from 1926 to 1929 and untouched until I ripped the ceiling open in 2018.

Tell that to the maniac who wired my house 95 years ago.

and don’t when it isn’t

The reverse order for me. A borrowed NES first at 5-6, then a secondhand C64 at 8. Learned to type and program BASIC on that thing.

Replaying Super Mario World for SNES with my five-year-old. First time for him, he loves Yoshi. I haven’t really played it all the way through in about a decade; my wife and I did it together when we were engaged, was the last time.
