"Developing a BASIC interpreter on the system was difficult, because the display alone used up almost all the available RAM. The solution to this problem was to store the BASIC program code in the video RAM."

hot trans girl shit. jamie fenton is a queen

Amazingly, I made this several years ago

once again i feel this image spiritually

A new study shows a whopping 87% of games released prior to 2010 are no longer available for sale or download by any means other than the second-hand market and archival/"piracy": http://gamehistory.org/87percent/

Proof if you ever needed it that the community is doing the work that corporate interests won't do to preserve gaming history and the slice of culture it represents.

We are living in an age when it is so astonishingly cheap to keep copies of things around and yet the perverse incentives exist for companies to memory-hole anything that doesn't perform well or that might compete with newer offerings.

IMO, in the big picture this is what legislation is for, correcting a horrible tendency that the market will have if left to its own devices, and there should absolutely be legislation protecting archivists of content that's no longer available for sale, or even requiring that content creation companies keep content available in SOME form. Until then, we depend on each other to do this.

This means nothing to you. You are not an imp, you have no idea what an imp is, and you will not entertain such frivolous and childish ideas ever again. You feel stupid and hate yourself a little for even considering it.

watching this great video essay about tears of the kingdom. dude pauses while talking about the story to ask for someone to comment if "secret stones" is a direct translation of the word used in japanese, which is something i've wondered myself so of course i checked the comments and, man,

Blends right in, doesn't it? Call me, ISO.

the generational shift from

"haha [degrees] isn't that hot, try [my region] in summer!"

to

"wow that's crazy. try to stay safe out there!"

"un-teach me strength,
I am too tired to hold it all"
pleads Desperation
grasping frantically for Comfort
blindly on his knees in midnight sand.
"no, un-teach me bad lessons,
dislodge this history
and allow it to wash downriver,"
he sighs, resigned. "or yet,
un-teach me fear,
I will never be troubled again."

"No, I will not."
owl-eyed Presence draws
a glittering starry cloak
across Desperation's naked shoulders.
"I will not un-teach
strength. I will teach footing
to learn when and how to bear the load.
I will not un-teach
the bad lesson. I will teach truth
so your reaction is informed.
I will not un-teach
fear. I will teach experience
to understand when you may relax."

his rebuttal dissolves in the breeze
as Presence pushes her cold finger
against his weary lips.
"I will not un-teach history.
I would never shame you, my friend,
for dwelling. but to even visit safely,
you must first be able to leave."
