I led with a bright SMW screenshot, but text and darker scenes gain a lot from this.

Messing with the RetroTINK-4K's latest experimental firmware, shrugged at the new high-pass filter until I tried it on my 2-chip SNES...

RT5x's pre-emph did similar, but the RT4K seems to have finer control.

A 2.00 MHz HPF (3.00 for hi-res modes) very nearly fixes the smear for me.

Well this is a pleasant surprise. Believe it or not, I have a video written about this game's "sequel", F-22 Total Air War. Not many people remember these games now, but this has excellent damage modeling+wingman control+stealth, and an AWACS mode that makes the game into an RTS/"sim-medium" hybrid.

A retro tech question that should be trivia, but may in fact be a riddle:

How many watts does a PlayStation 2 Slim 7700x draw?

I really wish we could get a secure replacement for email already, one that’s incompatible and not just bolting on and becoming an optional feature by necessity.

And SMS.

And phone networks.

And credit card networks.

I’m not at CES but I feel it’s appropriate to say:

AI will not save us.

AI is a great tool, good at plenty of things. But it is a tool; It matters who uses it, & for what. It’s unprofitable, so ask who benefits, how; & whether that’s OK to you.

AI will not save us.

Something very normal I think about a lot is that still using GIFs in current year is weird. It was a very limited format to begin with, albeit by design.

I admit dithering does have a certain retro charm…

Seriously though I've been living under a rock, all of this goes right into the Kola superdeep borehole, Palmer Luckey included.

Egg will be on all our faces when the autonomous kill-bots get loose and the special edition drone-metal game boys are the only way to control them.

What's all this about ModRetro?

Ah.

Kaze Emanuar did a video on the Analogue 3D that sums up pretty much exactly what I take issue with from Analogue's marketing direction.

FPGA doesn't mean accurate; It's an emulator running in hardware. Doesn't mean it's not good though!

Huh, Ace Combat 8 was announced? From the description, it looks like it's going to have squad bonding and a protagonist that exists outside the plane. Bold move after Assault Horizon, but maybe it'll work this time.

I should do an Ace Combat video someday.

This is it. I nearly suffocated by using the reetroom. I’m asking my doctors agreeing on a short cure. Only really sure painful prolonged angona is hereafter the grim reaps me. Please donate on the funeral fund me now.

Not gonna take over, but between Steam hardware, improvements to overall Linux support, and Microsoft’s behaviour, it’s gonna start getting more popular.

Maybe it’s a little over optimistic, but I legitimately feel like the fabled Year Of the Linux Desktop™ is really coming.

Rebecca Heineman is probably best known for coding 3DO Doom from zero in 10 weeks after being told it just needed "polish" - the licensee didn't understand what porting involved.

Since hearing that story, she's someone I've looked up to a lot. Now, she's got a different struggle...
