I went to a arcade that did unlimited credits and for like a couple of hours, groups of people would play the X-Men game over and over again. One group would beat it, another group came in... One of my fondest experiences ever.

I must have been asleep at the wheel. I didn't know about Atari 50. Not in the article is also the game Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story.

But though it’s in the same format, The Making of Karateka was a different challenge for the team. Atari 50 presents a bird’s-eye view of an entire company over five decades, spanning from the arcades to home consoles like the Jaguar. It’s filled with smaller stories about individual games and hardware launches. The Making of Karateka, on the other hand, is a deep dive into the creation of one defining game, which in turn means it’s very much about a person: creator Jordan Mechner.

• My favorite Linux flavor? Uh I dunno... The one that Tim Apple makes!

• So I know how to use terminals? Not really, I just use the GUI, which stands for General User Interactions.

• How do I get this far and write code? Well I type things into google.com and then copy and paste code and it just works.

• But don't I need a degree? Nah. I was mostly doing drugs and alcohol and cheated my way up.

• Aren't I speaking at tech conferences? Nah. I just type things into google.com slash Gemini and read what the AI, which stands for Advanced Intelligence, says.

And I Never have to fix a god damn thing.

I did a sample size quiz with my coworkers. Most of us do a morning coffee poop. Maybe not first thing in the morning. But usually within the hour.

Nah, they'll just make it a AAAA level game

Corn on those Asian buns though.

I know so many people in the iPhone treadmill. Like they buy a new phone because they have a iPhone 10 and now the 12 and the iPhone 15 Pro Max SSJ3 turbo Championship Edition They're on 16 now?

I refuse to be part of that BS and I'm watching all the Steamdeck competitors release yearly iterations. Real sad.
