Needs a trigger warning for recovering alcoholics lol, those were the days

I remember some people were mad at Karl for stealing the speed running video shtick and not sticking his neck out for his buddy. I don't know anything about Karl personally tho, I just love the speed run cheating investigation videos. They are always really interesting intestigation stories and also the technical stuff isn't too beyond my comprehension (like I also like to watch displaced gamers and retro game mechanics explained, but some of the videos I don't actually understand because I don't really know how code works lol)

Karl Jobst essentially started making the exact same kind of video to rwhitegoose for a couple years, so that's a good one to check out. I like the stuff he makes now too but he literally did a bunch of "history of a specific GoldenEye level world records" videos too.

I don't know where to find it but he did record a little clip after all that came out where he said he's not racist anymore and he learned not to be racist because he had normal interactions with non-white people at the local Tim Horton's lol

Like a 35 year old dude concerned about the "Jewish question" on his discord for years would somehow have his worldview shaken only a month after it came out, and the instigating factor would be a brown guy holding the door open for him at a Toronto Timmy's lol

I still watch his videos sometimes because nobody is making that kind of content about less popular n64 games, but I watch them in a way that YouTube doesn't recognize for algorithm or revenue purposes

When I am asked what my favourite game is I usually immediately think of FTL and the original DOOM.

40 bucks a week, you aren't buying packs of camels from a real store, you're buying a freezer bag full from the trunk of a car

realism is brown

magic, spirit-world, tech-future, etc are all TEAL

"Vergil" hmmmmm

You should check out the trs-80 game draconian. Its like bosconian but with defender (you rescue people from the bases) and sinistar (you are chased by a boss enemy if you take too long.) If you like the atmosphere of sinistar you will also like draconian. The boss enemy is indestructible so the feeling of knowing its coming is really exciting. This game absolutely blew my mind when I played it as a kid in a similar way to sinister.

You can download it and other trs-80 ROMs here: https://colorcomputerarchive.com/repo/Disks/Games/

I don't know anything about trs-80 emulators, although I have played it on emulator in the past, I mainly played it on the actual hardware when I was a kid. Given what you wrote here I would really recommend checking it out!

wack

is that really something you can watch?

Play FTL its really good

do you have stairs in your house?

I like this version the best. CW: the video has some old photos including an enslaved persons scars from lashes.

Typical North Korea propaganda, they even gave them fake (paper mache?) luggage to trick us into thinking they can afford personal items!

I have a large CRT that looks pretty good but honestly still pretty fuzzy, its been years since I tried that tho so I don't know if it would be a lot better than what I have now. Then I used a really small old ass flat screen for a while that honestly looked really good, I think just because it was so small it had to look pretty sharp. It stopped working tho :(

I have the n64 in my kitchen and use a thrift store flat screen TV I just got as both a second monitor and n64 TV. Its pretty old and has a hell of a lot of different inputs. Unfortunately the n64 looked like total shit on it... BUT I just got a s-video cable hoping it would make it a bit more bearable and at least on this TV its a huge improvement! It really fixed the image quite a bit, there's still a bit of checkerboarding with the pixels of different colours sort of hashing together instead of blurring together as they would on CRT. But its way more playable. I should try the s-video cable with the CRT sometime just for fun, but I think the reason why its such a huge improvement is mostly because the TV interpreted the composite image terribly.

All that to say, its still fuzzy as fuck, because its an n64 lol.

I've been playing my n64 a lot lately and its way fuzzier than I remember, maybe they are just trying to recapture that magic
