If I put unicorns in my game it'll make it too soft, so what if you eat unicorns in the game, then it's too mean.. no happy medium! #gamedev

I know it’s not a new thing, but it still blows my mind that I can go into a toy store in 2026… and buy an Atari 2600 or C64 🤣

1980年，美国明尼苏达州的小商人罗伯特·泰勒捣鼓出一种按一下就出液体的瓶装洗手液，准备铺进全美超市。可他心里清楚，洗手液配方没什么技术门槛，宝洁、高露洁这些巨头一旦跟进，几个月就能用广告把他给碾死。

泰勒左思右想，盯上了瓶口那个不起眼的白色塑料按压泵头。当时全美国能造这种泵头的工厂只有两家，他把心一横，押上全部身家凑了1200万美元，直接向两家工厂订下1亿个泵头，买空了未来整整一年的产能；

洗手液上架后，半年就狂卖3000万美元。宝洁和高露洁连夜调好同款皂液，采购经理跑去订泵头时才傻了眼：全国的生产线未来一年都在替泰勒打工。

巨头们手里有皂液，却连一个能按出液体的瓶盖都买不到。泰勒靠这一招稳稳吃下市场，七年后硬生生地逼得高露洁掏出6100万美元现金，才把他的品牌买了下来。

DER STAATSSTREICH LÄUFT‼️

Heute stand der rechtmäßige Präsident des Verfassungsgerichts, Bogdan Świeczkowski, vor den verschlossenen Toren – das rechtskräftige Urteil des Obersten Gerichtshofs in der Hand. Die Polizei verweigerte ihm den Zutritt.

„Ich fordere die Öffnung der Pforte und den Einlass des legalen Präsidenten!“, rief er. Keine Reaktion.
Wer das Urteil des Obersten Gerichtshofs ignoriert und den legalen Präsidenten aussperrt, begeht einen offenen Angriff auf die Verfassung.
Das ist der laufende Staatsstreich.

[Rosi @ilse_rosi]

@rebew_lexa Ein von der EU initiierter Staatsstreich in Polen, um die Patrioten zu vernichten. In Rumänien hat die EU alles mit Geld geglättet (dank Deutschland). Wir sollten die gewalttätige Einmischung der EU in Polen scharf verurteilen.

[Bécquer 🇪🇸✒🔡 @GustavoAdolf_]

A los 13 años, Drew Barrymore 🇺🇸 fue ingresada en una institución de máxima seguridad por su propia familia.
Tras tocar la fama mundial con E.T., la presión la sobrepasó: empezó a beber a los 9 años, a fumar a los 10 y a consumir cocaína a los 12.
Pasó 18 meses bajo una disciplina extrema. Aunque ella misma ha reconocido que allí recibió la crianza que nadie más supo darle, el coste personal fue inmenso. A los 14 años, por recomendación médica, se emancipó legalmente de sus padres.
Al salir, Hollywood le cerró las puertas por completo.
La etiquetaron de "problemática" y se quedó sin familia, sin apoyos y sin trabajo, hasta que apareció su ángel de la guarda: Adam Sandler🇺🇸.
Mientras la industria le daba la espalda, Sandler apostó por ella. La coprotagonizó en tres grandes comedias románticas (El chico ideal, 50 primeras citas y Juntos y revueltos), devolviéndole el lugar que merecía en el cine y relanzando su carrera.
Hoy, su amistad sigue intacta y Drew lo define como un amigo incondicional. Ella ha logrado sanar, formar su propia familia y convertirse en un referente de resiliencia y luz para millones de personas a través de su propio programa.
Tu pasado no define tu destino. A veces, solo necesitas a una persona que crea en ti cuando el resto del mundo no lo hace.

Next year marks 1,100 years since Athelstan united England.

This important anniversary is an opportunity to celebrate our history, bring communities together and help the next generation learn about our national story.

That’s why today I called on the Culture Secretary to put in place plans for a fitting commemoration. I’m delighted that she has now agreed to do so and will work with me on this.

We should be proud of our history. Let’s give this anniversary the recognition it deserves.

my chronic illnesses haven’t killed me yet but they’ve killed a thousand versions of myself that i could’ve been and nearly every dream i’ve ever had and i think that’s worse sometimes

iirc correctly, a 1200 with FastRAM was or could be about 5 times fasterthan an Amiga 500, thatis quite the difference to whatit ended up with Chip RAM only.
It was such a waste, same happened with 8 bit SAM Coupe, very heavy contention due to ASIC reading screen RAM, yet with 1MB external RAM you can run code from there and it is a different machine.

OUTRUN AGA v1.0.1 for Amiga 1200 (by retrodnagames).
Outstanding conversion of the Sega arcade classic.
Its target spec (stock 68020 of the A1200, 4MB of fRAM) is interesting: "the game is blitter driven, faster CPU's will not make it run faster". Coded in assembler, it's the full game, in full res.
Also has music + engine sound due to the brilliant arrange of the tracks to 3 channels, by DJ Metune.

Please don't forget that the only difference between you and a disabled person is time. Even if the disability is temporary, it will happen in your lifetime. Disability is part of the human condition. Advocating for disability rights is advocating for your inevitable future.

My final mini-game made with SamStruct for the #SamCoupe. Any similarity to Into The Eagle's Nest is entirely intentional.

So this is "Faster" for Atari Jaguar - a conversion of my existing Atari STE game.

Lots of work to be done, but this is much closer to the game I would have created without the hardware constraints imposed by the STE.

Watch until the video reaches night for the cool effects. 😀
