I love the Midwest, the Midwest is where retired and semi-retired video game people have basements full of old game stuff for me to digitize gamehistory.org/ed-semrad-ro…

If you like the Fallout games specifically, or any other post-apocalyptic media broadly, you should watch the serious-but-weirdly-silly Public Shelter Living: Story Of Public Shelter 104 (1964) currently on RetroStrange.TV

If we disappear as well, you know why.

It's always "we can't help you because we're booked, come back in two months," then "we can't help you because your medical insurance covers basically nothing," then "we can't help you because you're too far gone and we can't save it now"

I'm gonna be like, 60 years old walking on a cane and SOMEHOW Nancy Pelosi is still gonna be in DC, saying shit like "Reagan was a good-humored gentleman" and "we need a strong republican party" or like, singing god bless america as the rest of us are forced to act out the purge

I played a lot of Moria when my computer monitor was dying and could only output one color. Endless blue and black fun. Moria has a LOT to do with roguelikes existing, thank you for making that happen Mr. Koeneke, thank you for many hours of fun!

What’s the most intense video game you’ve ever played?
I sort of mean frantic and overwhelming, but in a good way

AI-generated retro pixel art
“Totoro in very low resolution black and white pixel art” by #Dalle
These are slightly better, but perhaps there are already attempts in the dataset for pixel-Totoro, or it is easier to generate pixel abstractions of cartoons (which are already in an abstract form) than faces.
