    This one is really dumb, but I want to ask if anyone knows what the heck is going on with that right crock on the floor.

    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. 

  6. Crazy about LOOM, the Magical Adventure Game! CRT Pixels Only

    in Classic Computing

    Posted

    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 🙂

    A friend of mine wanted these images colorized and cleaned up a little for a project, so after doing so, I thought I'd share them here for anyone that might be interested having watched the Little House of the Prairie TV show as a kid.

    Very cool, watched a lot of that back in the day and my wife will enjoy these as well. 

  21. Atari 2600+ Firmware Update Instructions | v1.1 Rev2

    in Atari 2600

    Posted

    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. 

     

  25. Banned by google servers and stuck on ANDROID 7 this phone mimics iOS.

    in Modern Computing

    Posted

    This video was for my nephew Stu who gifted me this phone that was not useful to him, wanted to show what I managed with it but decided to make the video public. 

    😝🤷🏻‍♂️This Android phone was sadly banned by Google servers, it cannot access the Google Play Store as this particular model was banned by Google servers over licensing issues. Any options to run an alternative ROM such as various open source or Linux flavours have also failed. It is stuck on Android 7. All current means to get root access have failed however, I still find it useful by side-loading APK’s as well as downloading apps from Amazon, open source repositories etc. I like tinkering with it and it’s been useful, even more so since I found this launcher which mimics iOS quite well.

    !!!!! YOU MIGHT NEED TO CRANK VOLUME AS MY iPAD CAMERA ALWAYS SEEMS TO RECORD LOW LEVEL AUDIO !!!!!!!!!
