This is killing me, maybe #retrogaming fediverse can help?
My partner and I are re-watching X-Files and we just got to the episode "Unusual Suspects" (S5E03, 1997). A man is seen playing Dig Dug. The episode is set in 1989 and he appears to be playing on PC... The footage doesn't look mocked up, but the version doesn't appear to exist?
The gameplay footage looks arcade-perfect, but truncated vertically and with a side-panel like many home conversions. Did they really go to that much effort?

I’m going to be amazed if this actually works. I don’t trust my skills with this one bit.
That’s at best half of this Prusa Mini+ assembled in about 4 hours, with a dinner break.
@SaintSluggo I reached that a while back. When the API died…
@mikemathia OMG!!! 😂😅😂🤣💀💀💀
That’s good. You killed me.
Am I the only one who finds tech launch events really cringy? Even Apple events which are supposed to be the best…
@JJFlash itch.io is excellent 👍
@JJFlash yep. I hate DRM stuff.... I've bought this game twice, I want to support the devs, I simply want to run the game on different devices without having to buy the game again and again...
Running NES games the Steam Deck has great battery life, I think when I take it with me on travels I may just NES and 2600 games on the flight. #gamingonlinux #steamdeck #gaming

Whoever named the feature "git blame" and not "whose line is it anyway" missed a great opportunity…

🕹 C64 High-Score Challenge for April 2023: Puzzle Bobble V1.21 (By JHB) https://discord.gg/pVCuYydD37
The use of #AI language models will bring significant changes to our work in the near future, and I am eager to witness them. I am also keen to learn how we will tackle the security, data privacy, and ethical issues that they bring. Additionally, I am extremely keen to watch the competition between companies that rapidly adopt AI and those that initially resist it. I say "initially" because I predict that eventually, everyone will have to use AI to remain competitive. #AILanguageModel

One of me Steam Decks is doing that thing were it just won't stay asleep...or shutdown. Keeps loading back up. Quite frustrating.
@trinsec no idea… I just wondered if it would be a separate file in the file system, but all you get is a Windows exe file. They sell carts, Steam, Xbox, PS, Epic, and Switch versions… I’ve bought XBox and Steam but it would be nice to have the ROM too.
I guess I'm just used to buying NES and C64 games on itch.io which does give you ROMs.
