  • I’ve pretty much put everything aside except for my handheld retro gaming thingie - a Miyoo Mini+ - and honestly, I prefer to spend all my time playing 1980s-90s video games. And the arcades! Let’s not forget the arcades… it’s just simpler and more satisfying, and if I lose in 5 minutes that’s fine - I’ll get hours back to do other things in my life.

    Berzerk, Altered Beast, Bubble Bobble, Super Mario world, and of course, Tetris… I’ve got hundreds of games, but these pretty much are my favs. It’s just get in, play a game or two, and get out… I’ve had what I wanted. I don’t really enjoy the games nowadays with there’s too much work involved (but then again, I am of an era…)










  • That was way back in the early 2000s; they’ve been gone from New York since 2012 and aren now in Chicago. Looking at the history in Wikipedi, it looks as though there was a first-look media tie up with Miramax that didn’t go anywhere.

    why can’t all workers be remote?

    I’m in development, and post-Covid we still have our remote workers and an empty office building (or four around Europe) that we are bound by lease contracts. Just because someone wants to work at home doesn’t mean the established office costs to the company doesn’t exist. We’re trying to get out of several of those contracts now, but it’s taking years.
