Would be a shame to see Rizzi leave NOLA - he’s been one of the few bright spots in a bleak period.

Is Game UI Database what you’re looking for?

If that’s the case you wouldn’t be able to charge them, though? I don’t think you can charge them without connecting to a console (or a third party charging dock I guess)

People said similar things about the all-white Wii after the GameCube - it’s just the natural ebb and flow of product design

Based on previous actions and statements, I believe their complex legal reasoning is: ‘fuck you’

When has that ever been the case?

The age-old tradeoff has always been that consoles are restrictive and un-upgradable, but generally cheaper than building a PC due to fixed parts costs and loss-leader strategies.

Given how hard they’ve been pursuing anything related to Switch emulation, you’d have to be nuts to think they won’t try a lot harder to make it more difficult this time round.

Seems like it was probably by Mike Albaugh? One of Atari’s longest-tenured coin-op devs, who worked on arcade machines like Destroyer, Atari Football, Video Pinball, and a bunch more from 1976-2000.

From the Atari Age thread:

It was found in [Mike’s] folder, within a folder named 6502.

macOS shipped with emacs?

More like limp into the offseason. No one on this roster is healthy enough to leap anywhere.

If anything I’d say Heaven’s Vault is the better of the two!

Sure, it’s way less polished and can be janky, but the language and the translation mechanics are so much deeper and more well-developed than anything in Chants of Sennaar.

The languages in Chants are tightly defined and very specific to what the game needed, so they’re not really usable outside of that context. But the language in HV is rich and complex, and you can actually learn to write new things in it.
