RetroGaming@lemmy.world•Why the Atari 2600 was breakthrough technologyEnglish
8·8 days agoHonestly, the cartridge system was a (pardon the pun) game changer. Sure someone did it first but Atari really made it main stream. It allowed for a lot of what we see today. Sure you were dropping what was about a $1,000 in today’s money on a toy for you and your kids but you could play so many games on it.
The idea that you had a machine in your living room that you could change what it did just by putting in a new cartridge was mind breaking in the 70’s. Sure your TV could play 5 or 6 channels maybe but it still was a TV, getting a Atari made it a home entertainment system. The whole one machine that did so many different games paved the way for the whole home entertainment universe we have today.

Books@lemmy.world•What book(s) are you currently reading or listening to? October 07
4·17 days agoI’ll second How to be Perfect. A really good introduction to ethical philosophy, and if you get the Audiobook there are a lot of fun cameos.
Buoys outside of America they’re pronounced the same.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What technology would you give to ancient people just to fuck with them?
6·20 days agoFuck yeah, just give the ancient Greeks hindu-arabic numerals and watch them lose their minds. Teach Zeno calculus and watch him try to prove it wrong.

12·20 days agoIf you’re looking for the biggest change in our timeline for the littlest work I’d give a hindu-arabic numerals to early Greek mathematicians. Watching those guys try to wrap their heads around zero, that would fuck Pythagoras.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Animal guessing game!!!
16·25 days agoNo I can’t see a horse here, that’s why we’re guessing.

So she’s mastered Air Music, Water Music, Earth Music and Fire Music? She might be ready to take on the Fire Music Lord.
showmeyourkizinti@startrek.websitetoMental Health@lemmy.world•I feel nothing but emptiness every single dayEnglish
6·26 days agoSeriously I’m not a doctor but I’d say the best description of depression I’ve ever heard was when everything feels like cardboard tastes. If this is how you’ve been feeling for a while see a doctor get some help.
Seriously I’m on Lemmy and nobody’s said “The Princess Dick” yet!?!? You people are getting lazy

News@lemmy.world•3 dead, at least 5 injured in shooting at North Carolina waterfront bar, authorities say
21·26 days agoI just don’t understand why God Emperor Trump cares more about the godless hippies in Portland and sending in the Army to protect them rather then sending in the Army to protect the righteous God fearing people of Southport, North Carolina

Games@lemmy.world•Slay the Spire is one of those games where the more I play it, the worse I do. I did better at this game when I didn't know what I was doing then I do now after hundreds of hours in the game.English
20·28 days agoThis is one thing that Baltro has hands above StS. Each character really only has a few builds that can really skyrocket, but trying to build them can make it very annoying if things don’t go the way you need and it very hard to pivot to another type of build. Where as Baltro makes it pretty easy to pivot to another type of build if you suddenly get a great joker.
