I'm just gonna give whoever my password anyways. How the fuck are they gonna know I'm dead outside of me going Leon Czolgosz on a politician or Elon Musk?

My mental state being where it's been the past several years. It's crossed my mind on what I'm gonna do with my game stuff, and it's either going to friends or for my sister to sell. Physical or account passwords. I don't know what my future holds, like everyone else. But whether it be here, going to the West Bank and joining the PFLP in the PLO, going to Kurdistan to join the PKK, or going to Chiapas state in southern Mexico to join the Zapatistas. I already know who's getting what. lol

When Kubuntu finally adopts KDE Plasma 6.x, that's when I'm switching from Linux Mint.

Quoting: dpanterBut, how? Where are they getting the money from? Who keeps pumping money into this walking corpse?
Maybe they just make enough money from game sales and the like? I buy those Recharged games on the Switch, and I've bought some of their other stuff too. Along with one of those Bluetooth Atari 2600 style controllers. If I didn't already just use my Xbox Series controllers as my PC controllers, then I'd probably have bought their regular VCS controller for my PC.

They might be weird with their decisions at times, and also just seem like they throw everything at the wall to see what sticks. But I actually like a good lot of what they put out game-wise.

Quoting: basedKnowing their history, this made me lmao, buying Coleco next?
That could actually be a good thing to get some of the old Coleco games out in some form again. I wouldn't be against them buying those rights either.

If Intellivision and Colecovision games started popping up on that VCS, it'd be good for folks who bought one.
They have had a net loss every single quarter since march 2020 (about €-9M last year with a total sales of €10M).

As I understand it from their latest financial report they are basically running on loans, aka they have sold €30M in bonds which they somehow have to pay back in 2026.
Well damn, I didn't know the details. Just was taking a stab in the dark. But AtariAge is the only thing that I'd be worried about if things flatline in the end.

Quoting: pbMeh, I preferred ColecoVision anyway. :tongue:
I'm in the Opcode Games Colecovision Super Game Club. I've got the Super Game Module for my Colecovision and several games for said module. My next issue of the print magazine and copy of Amidar should be arriving in the mail tomorrow. lol

I like this one actually. A lot more than them buying AtariAge [External Link] at the very least. lol

Quoting: kuhpunktIntentionally causing Fomo might be a thing, but Toho might also be weird with their licensing.
Yeah, honestly I'd bet on this being a licensing thing. Especially since it's free, there's no income to pay for renewing the license.
At least they're transparent on how long it'll be available too. Plus it's a good game anyways. lol
