another discussion begins in regards to "if you beat the game by cheating, you didn't beat the game." i enter the discussion by saying there's plenty of ways to engage with a game and a lot of the people who do that probably don't want to talk because they feel their POV is not valid.

someone else comes in; admits they only finished Fire Emblem in Casual mode. they then get talked down to, and told that they "didn't really play Fire Emblem."

... why does being vindicated have to feel so bad?

In the early 1990s, while working in an Amsterdam animation studio, I co-created one of the first fully computer-animated TV series in the Netherlands, called Mannetje & Mannetje.

We used a mix of drawn elements and digitized photos in DPaint on Amigas. We made one 5-minute episode a week, while in the evenings, sometimes nights, I worked on the Hoi Amiga game. 😅

I'm in the process of uploading a range of episodes to my Archive. Here's a link to the first episode:

Can I ask a favour from someone with a fully working Mac LC and a scope? The original model, not LC II of newer. I need to know the voltage of logic 1 on the address bus. To do what, with the Mac off:

1. Plug scope ground to the PDS pin in the middle row closest to internal SCSI port;
2. In the same row, advance two pins and connect scope probe. See image. This will probe A17.
3. Power on.

You will see the signal changing. I need to know the voltage when signal is high. #retroApple

i suppose the original Hitman in itself wasn't that much less weird, because the metaplot is about 47 tracking down all of the sources of his genetic code (the aforementioned super-criminals) to kill them, and one of them is basically just Tony Montana from Scarface in a really long and annoying jungle level

good morning. i dreamed that I'd decided to replay Hitman: Codename 47. i vaguely remembered Hitman being about a secret society of super-criminals, but i did not remember that one of them summoned humanoid flies or that one of them was a life-sized papier-mache dinosaur.

so i have a broken chumby classic (ironforge 1.8: files.blueocty.com/hdwedocs/IR ). in some sort of fashion, there was a short in a power rail somewhere (i suspect DC in and ground, but i'm not sure if so, or if that was indeed the root cause) which blew a diode and some buck regulators. i have now replaced all those parts and checked that all voltages (5v, 3v3, 1v8) are correct and the unit does power on however never functions beyond a white screen

spitballing appreciated :boost_ok:​
