So, it's February, Black History Month, so time for some black history:

We all used game cartriges, for our NES, SNES, N64, GB LINE, DS, SWITCH, etc, but did you know the inventor of game cartriges was a black man?

View attachment 343996
Meet Jerry Larson, the inventor of game cartriges. Born in Brooklyn in 1940, Larson would join Fairchild Semiconductor in 1970. 5 years later, he woukd create of the the first microprosser arcade games in his garage, called Demolition Derby. Shortly after, he was named chief hardware engineer, and director of the video game department. His team lead the Fairchild F video game console, which came the birth of the cartrige. This wasn't possible before, as consoles like the Odyssey had software built into the console itself, but the cartriges allowed to change up the programming allowing for many different games. The cinsokebitself wasn't successful, but the idea became successful with the Atari 2600.

Lawson would later create a company that make Atari 2600 games, and other smaller works, such as collaborating with Stevie Wonder. He would later be recognized for his syrong contributions to the gaming industy in 2011. One month later, he would pass away due to diabetes complications. He would be posthumously awarded in 2019 at the Independent Games festival thanks to his controbutions.


So some black history for y'all. I kinda wanna make this a daily thing, to let y'all know abiut some of the over looked and unsung heroes of an industry that's white dominated.
Yall bout to get a daily dose of Black in yalls life

Another idea I had in mind for my Gamera/Hilda crossover. At some point in the story there will be a time skip. Hilda and Twig are adults (Alfur being middle-aged at this point) and at this point not only does she have that link bond with Gamera still but she and Twig have began to start helping him kill the Gyaos'. Over those years Hilda still remains the kind-hearted wilderness loving girl she is but overtime due to the world being ravaged by the ravenous creatures had also hardened her making her more determined to aiding Gamera in wiping them out for good and so began to start training herself as a fighter notably in swordsmanship and guns as well as getting herself in shape to the point of being athletic especially given how hard she took it when her mum was devoured on that day the Gyaos attacked Trolberg. Until now, Hilda never showed any ill-will towards anything or no one until the Gyaos and she's determined alongside Gamera and Twig to wipe out every single one until there are no more. I got the idea and concept of this from Attack on Titan basically.

It's also to that point given her love for nature, she'll go out of her way to save wild animals from a Gyaos.

So how long until people make the OoT decomp the best way to play the game?

TBH all it needs to dethrone OoT3D is a 60FPS patch, an analog camera, and a Render96-styled model mod.

Add those three and that'll be it for OoT3D.

So Legends Kyruem is next right? Because
Ingo is straight up taken out of B&W's timeline, and so far he's the only one besides the player that was isekai'd.

Also, if I read it correectly they implied that the player and Ingo are not from the same timeline. In fact, Ingo straight up acknowledges that Hidden Moves don't exist anymore which could imply that BDSP might not take place in the same timeline.

Maybe I'm looking into this way too much
I think he meant it as Hisui not having them, not the world as a whole. Hisui not having them makes sense as not even regular TMs exist.

Geez, if he's serious, Activision and Bungie are just the beginning. And we've just entered the 1st day of February. January was wild.

Best part?

They can't do a thing.

PC port is technically under the same rules emulators are: There's no piracy. No copywritten code. Nothing is being stolen: There is no law against reverse engineering. Technically, all of the code is under the ownership of the group reverse engineering it. It's the only reason SM64 PC port is as out in the open as it is and not a thing has gone down. Worst they can do is harass some YT channels.

With all due respect to Nintendo's lovely devs, I wish Nintendo a wonderful

At the same time Nintendo can easily put out a C&D because then the people making it have to get a lawyer and have the money to go to court over it. It's a common tactic by ****heels iirc

True.

But they haven't yet, so hopefully we'll just continue like this.

If not then oh well, just Nintendo hating fun. Nothing new. :drshrug:

So do you all think the size differences in Pokémon will be in future games? Specifically Gen 9.

I would think they would be because otherwise shiny alphas are pointless. But I wouldn’t be shocked if they left it behind. I hope not though, it’s really fun and adds a lot more depth to the world.

If they do bring it back, then RIP Pumpkaboo's uniqueness factor

At least it has the different stats

I haven't finished it. Maybe something stupid comes up in the last chunk that makes the whole game stupid or something, I dunno.


But i'm pretty far in, I think. 4/5 Nobles defeated.


And I ****in love Legends Arceus.



It's almost everything I wanted Pokemon to become, it's what I envisioned when they said gen 8 would be on the switch. This is what Pokemon needs to continue to evolve into, this is what gen 9 and all subsequent generations need to build upon. I'm picturing gen 9 in the modern Pokemon world, massive open cities to explore with tons to do. And an entire new generation of Pokemon to catch in this style. It's making me giddy, bro.

4 games into the system and we finally got a Switch game, bro.

It’s an exciting time to be a Pokémon fan.
