I recently learned that Sega ported a lot of their games (Sega Rally, Virtua Fighter, etc.) to Windows in the 90s. Well, I tactically acquired a few copies and have been trying them out on my old Gateway 2000 with a Pentium II, and they're actually pretty good! Basically souped up Saturn ports.

Here’s the small collection of budget retro graphics cards I’ve accumulated from estate sales lmao. A mix of ISA, VLB, PCI, and AGP.
(Two Voodoo 3 2000s and a Radeon 9800 Pro are not pictured here because they’re actually being used.)

This is the Electronic Arts I grew up with…
Dev teams were small enough to get individual acknowledgment on the box art.

Gross. Fuck EA. Hope they go out of business.
It’s official: EA is going private.
The leveraged buyout will be financed by a staggering $20 billion of debt, which likely means some *aggressive* cost cutting is ahead for EA in the coming months and years.

The 3DO I recently bought took up the last space in my setup so I kind of feel like I’m done with the retro consoles.
I feel like I should focus on growing my YouTube channel, but have no idea what kind of content to make. I’m thinking maybe sort 3-5 minute reviews, but have no idea if that’d fly.

I can’t believe I never knew Wolfenstein 3D on 3DO was basically a badass remaster of the original PC game.

I have a small collection of Superbit DVDs and I’ve always loved this bit on the back of them. That asterisk after the bit about doubling the bitrate is clearly doing some heavy lifting.

Hit up an estate sale over the weekend and found two Voodoo 3 2000s for $10 each. PCI but whatever. Both seem to work fine.

Oh WOW. I’ve avoided Amy Poehler’s podcast #GoodHang until now because I thought it was a wildly racist show about executions. I was WAY off.

Been thinking of streaming some old DOS games from the 486, but can't figure out how to get the 70Hz VGA signal converted for a 60Hz HDMI capture device. I have figured out a workaround with the Pentium II, though, so I'll probably use that instead.
