I've just been feeling very angsty about the current state of the video game industry. A crash is looming. I feel it in my bones. Just mindlessly lashing out at programmers, though it's not really their fault. Someone was telling me about an article from some magazine that said today's games are all great, and it's hard to find a bad game and I was in a bad mood in the wrong forum. No, my ranting and raving is not directed at anyone here. Or anyone specific at all. But especially people writing code on a 2600. Or trying to write a 2600 emulator. Anyone that tries to do something with the 2600 demands respect. From me, from people here, from other programmers, and from the world at large. This beast will rip you apart. It separates the men from the boys as they say. Hmmmm...are there any females on this list? Anyone here know of any 2600 programmers (active) that are women? Anyways, didn't mean to scare anyone. I've got a big birthday coming (30!) and I'm been taking a lot of shit from my (much younger) friends. And I'm at MIT and I have to listen to "coders" talk about their 1337 j4v4 ski1z all day. These guys (not all of them mind you, just the noisy ones) wouldn't know a real piece of software if it jumped up and kicked them in the teeth. And, and, and...well...I'm grouchy doggonit! :) Please accept my humble apology. -Chris PS. I will definitely get back to your emails later in the week. I'm just hosed right now. - Archives (includes files) at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ Unsub & more at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/
