Yesterday, I did my first ice skating session in a couple of weeks.

Whenever I get on the ice after a hiatus, I'm always surprised how well I can still skate in a circle. My legs were a bit sore after, but otherwise, it felt good to be back on ice.

The Atari 2600 is one of the most recognized icons of the computer game industry. So much so that the Atari 2600 has been featured in several movies and TV shows over the years. Here are a few examples:

#StrangerThings
#Pixels
#TheGoldbergs
#ReadyPlayerOne

Sadly has gone from playable on to unplayable. It just crashes out, I've tried various versions of Proton.

Playing the objective wins the game. In Strongholds always rotate from area to area to area.

Another small issue with this game.

It's increasingly clear that in order to become a billionaire you must have zero consideration of others, absolute unshakable faith in your superiority and never ever reflect on or admit your very obvious mistakes.

And another aside, read some of the replies in that original Twitter thread and my god, do I dislike a bunch of my fellow humans for their takes. Give me fellow humans with empathy, sympthy and compassion any day over those that immediately tried to defend Musk and assumed Halli was just a slacker.

Over the years these are the dedicated video systems that impressed me the most.

- : The transition from the #2600 to the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) was a significant step forward in the evolution of video games. One of the most notable improvements was the addition of more buttons on the NES controller, which allowed for more complex gameplay mechanics. This increased control also meant that games could have a greater degree of depth and variety. Moreover, the NES also boasted improved graphics, which allowed characters to be more detailed and expressive, thus enabling them to have distinct personalities. This advancement allowed for a greater degree of immersion in the games, making the transition from the simple, blocky visuals of the 2600 to the more detailed and nuanced world of the NES feel like a giant leap forward in gaming technology.

- : The Nintendo Wii was a groundbreaking console that revolutionized the gaming industry with its motion controls. The Wii introduced me to a whole new level of gaming experience where I could physically interact with games through hand and body movements. The intuitive and easy-to-use motion controls allowed players to immerse themselves fully in the game, making it more engaging and interactive. One of the biggest successes of the Wii was that it brought gaming to non-gamers, as the simple and accessible nature of the console made it easy for anyone to pick up and play.

- : Stadia showed me that is not only possible, but it's also the future of the gaming industry. With Stadia, I was able to play high-quality games on any device with a reliable internet connection, without having to worry about hardware limitations. The service was incredibly fast and responsive, and the graphics were stunning. This experience showed me that cloud gaming has the potential to change the way we play and access games, as it eliminates the need for expensive hardware upgrades and allows for gaming on any device, anywhere, anytime. Stadia may have failed as a service, but as a concept, it has set the standard for cloud gaming and has paved the way for the future of gaming.

- : For me, the Dreamcast was a console that brought the experience into my home and changed the way I thought about gaming. As a kid, I was always mesmerized by the arcade games I played during family outings, but I never thought I could bring that experience home with me. That all changed when I got my hands on the Dreamcast.
