    Wow. The website found a pamphlet of pre-video game Nintendo toys *for America*, and it actually had a US patent # for "Slugger Mate," aka the Ultra Machine. Punched in the number and there's the patent, with Gunpei Yokoi's signature and all.

    Figured this out by translating a Japanese magazine article from 1987, then doing some light modification to create the wraparound effect. 🤟

    Not sure how well this will work in a full program, but smooth horizontal scrolling is definitely possible in Family BASIC. With offscreen name table updates, you could have some kind of scrolling engine? Endless runner maybe?

    Video game research is so ridiculously in its infancy. This is a *Nintendo product* and half of the information available online about it is in this tweet.

    TIL Hudson made an absolutely batshit port of Donkey Kong 3 for the Sharp X1 computer in 1984. They *sort of* adapted DK3's arcade mechanics, but have you playing atop these odd digitized backdrops.

    Sorry for the tiny captions in that article. WordPress has updated in the *checks calendar* 18 months since I've used it, and I need to do some CSS editing.

    I finished my Family BASIC game, "Art Walk Sugoroku," and wrote up a post with a bit of Family BASIC history, some details on how (and why) I made the game, and links to the source and save state. Read here:

    I lived in a 6 bedroom 2 bathroom house with 8 other people and we all paid over $800/month. Also there was no working heater.

    I hear similar stories from students every quarter.

    When I was 23 I lived in a 6 br house with about 11 other people for a total of like $7k/m and immediately after it was sold the new owners kicked us out to turn the downstairs living room into two more bedrooms and they relisted it for $10k/m while they were still kicking us out

    I'm savoring that unique emotional cocktail of loving my job but feeling guilty for being able to afford living here when so many can't.

    Decided to look at the UCSC community housing list out of curiosity, and we've got a 3-bedroom for $3750/month, a 4-bedroom for $4400/month, and a 4-bedroom/3-bath for $5K/month. So if you and 9 of your friends are interested in living with me, hmu.
