Boris Kretzinger<p>Ejagfest 2024 - I was there! And it was great! Good vibes only, so many nice people. Was amazing to meet Carl Forhan from Songbird in person, got to shake hands with Ian McCranor who played Angus in Kasumi Ninja, had a look at the final version of Jumping at Shadows, played Tempest 2000 on an old Jag kiosk unit ... so much nerdy fun in one day.

Eudaimon ꙮ"Energy transition aspirations are similar. The goal is powering modernity, not addressing the sixth mass extinction. Sure, it could mitigate the CO2 threat (to modernity), but why does the fox care when its decline ultimately traces primarily to things like deforestation, habitat fragmentation, agricultural runoff, pollution, pesticides, mining, manufacturing, or in short: modernity. Pursuit of a giant energy infrastructure replacement requires tremendous material extraction—directly driving many of these ills—only to then provide the energetic means to keep doing all these same things that abundant evidence warns is a prescription for termination of the community of life."<br><br><a href="https://dothemath.ucsd.edu/2024/03/lets-make-a-deal/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://dothemath.ucsd.edu/2024/03/lets-make-a-deal/</a><br><br><a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/dothemath" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DoTheMath</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/tommurphy" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TomMurphy</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/massextinction" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MassExtinction</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/collapse" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Collapse</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/energytransition" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EnergyTransition</a> (haha) <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/co2" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CO2</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/modernity" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Modernity</a>

Boris Kretzinger<p>"Can Atari K-O 3DO?" Well, we know the answer to that. But in December 1993, that was indeed a good question asked in this headline inside of Popular Science. At that time, it's wasn't already clear just how limited the Jaguar's launch would turn out to be, and even after that, the Jag sold a bit better than the 3DO for some months - which isn't much, still 😅. Also, this little bit was placed in an article about the 3DO, and you gotta agree that this picture of their crew is great! </p><p>So celebrate the Jaguar's 30th anniversary, enjoy the good and mediocre games, heck, maybe even some of the not-so-good ones. And remember that the Jag had a lot of potential and did not start out as a flop. If you want to read more about its history, you might like to look at my book Clipped Claws. It's free. And in any case: Keep doing the Math! 🕹️</p><p>www.archive.org/details/clipped-claws</p><p><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/atari" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>atari</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/atarijaguar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>atarijaguar</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/gaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gaming</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/retrogaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>retrogaming</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/vintagegaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vintagegaming</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/90s" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>90s</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/dothemath" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dothemath</span></a></p>
Eudaimon ꙮ"The Intransigence of Now" | Do the Math<br><br><a href="https://dothemath.ucsd.edu/2023/11/the-intransigence-of-now/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://dothemath.ucsd.edu/2023/11/the-intransigence-of-now/</a><br><br>«The nearly impossible task, then, is to convince people that this time is not normal: it cannot persist, nor could its direct derivatives. It’s very similar to telling someone they’re the villan, an adolescent that they don’t know what they’re talking about, an elder that they don’t know what’s good for them, or a mentally impaired person that they are nuts. How does that usually work out? After all this time, we still haven’t figured out how to do these things—not in one shot, certainly.<br>It’s one thing to convince someone that their notions about the pangolin are entirely wrong. Most people have little knowledge or personal stake in the ways of the pangolin. But people immersed in modernity are going to have strong opinions, feeling that they know a thing or two about it. In addition, it is the only thing they’ve ever known. Saying that modernity is a temporary fireworks show is like saying: all you have ever known is an illusion—not as “real” or permanent as you have come to believe. Yet, modernity is what we see out the window.
