  3. First big snowfall of 2024 with seemingly more to follow later this week. Will get much colder by the end of the week as well.

      Not a fan of the snow myself. 

      So far (knock on wood), we've had a very mild winter here.  The only snow I see on the forecast is on Sat 1/13, so we shall see. 

       

  4. It is simply just a case of a defect in the image. With AI generated you have some type of deformity or error in the images, early on it was really bad with displaying peoples hands, often displaying too many fingers or twisted fingers, or just looking unnatural, also text is typically indecipherable, or just odd out of place. Of course, it’s getting better at an alarming rate, but still stand outs, and there is a sign other than the obvious that it is in fact AI generated, in this case it would be the odd shape of the one shoe.
  5. Loom… If the name sounds familiar, then you probably were a kid or a teenager in the 80s, just like me. If you played this game not long after it came out, as I did in 1991, then you can understand the kind of enchantment it was back then. Loom wasn’t really groundbreaking. It didn’t bring any major change to the gaming scene. But it perfected an existing genre: it brought the graphical adventure to a new level of maturity. You could expect no less from Lucasfilm Games, and this project led by Brian Moriarty was a masterpiece of its own. Loom has superior graphics, soundtrack, and an ironclad scenario. It also adds a little touch of its own to the point & click adventure games, with a unique user interface based on musical notes. All these aspects put together make Loom an outstanding game despite its few drawbacks, the main one being its simplicity level. So let’s dive deeper into this mysterious and enchanting universe. ZERO footage from emulators was used to make this video! Only the actual CRT screen pixels are shown! Enjoy 🙂

  8. Very cool, watched a lot of that back in the day and my wife will enjoy these as well.
  9. As incredible as it would have been to see a C64 DEMO like this back in the day it is equally incredible that such demos are still being created to this day! 😲😎 Description - Wonderland XIV is one hell of a sight to behold! This is a new demo for the Commodore 64, and was created by Censor Design. Download it free from here: https://demozoo.org/productions/324783/
  10. Back in the day or even in my collection years I have never owned one of these or any of the PONG-type consoles before the Atari 2600. An interesting time, anyone own one back in the day or since? 🤔
  11. Nice series and channel! Enjoyable watch.
  12. An interesting video by the same news channel sometime later.
  13. I do not have one and likely will not but that does not stop me from being fascinated and living through others, as well I am an update nut admittedly, I KNOW SOME SUBSCRIBE TO THE "If it ain't broke don't fix it" mantra but I have always been one to always update, use the latest firmware, use alternate or streamlined firmware that addresses or fixes issues or adds other features etc. In short, I will always be one to "tinker" 🤷‍♂️😝so with that, I JUST saw this video and thought some of you might lucky 2600+ owners may appreciate this. I know many are aware of the update and some even being early Beta testers however for the average Joe or those who may be wondering about the process this is for you.
  14. All the best to you all in 2024!
