I think my favorite of the Comet's 4 titles was their third. They were the two-time defending champion, lead by their star point guard Kim Perrot, the heart and soul of the team. Kim Perrot died midway through the season of lung and brain cancer. The Comets had been struggling that season, and Perrots death galvanized the team. They went on a tear afterwards and won their third title in her honor. She became the first person in the #WNBA to have her jersey retired. What a phenomenal team.
@zeratul2099 I remember when they were first sold to hasbro immediately after the Tramiels sold and being optimistic. Hasbro's first official act as owners of Atari was to declare the Jaguar on open system and waive all licensing fees, which is why the Jag homebrew scene thrives today. Then... it was all downhill from there lol. I like when Atari is actually awesome, it's good for the industry IMO.
#Houston #Comets are back, that fucking rules! They were the first #dynasty of the #WNBA, winning the first *FOUR* championships back to back to back to back. They still hold the record for most WNBA championships by team despite having not existed since 2008. It's been a freaking joke that the Comets weren't around anymore. Their original teams were legendary with Sherryl Swoopes and Kim Perot. I'm legit stoked. Fuck yeah! #Basketball
@zeratul2099 Incidentally, as someone who has pretty much hated Atari ever since the Tramiels sold them, I have to say this latest iteration of Atari is probably the best since their golden years. They actually are mining their nostalgia well, and their original games are pretty good. Have you seen the wireless atari joystick they sell? I use it for my MiSTer FPGA, it's *awesome*. Combined stick and spinner in one!
@zeratul2099 I loved controllers that had these little nubs. My launch Master System had them, and so did my Gravis Gamepads for my 486. I totally used them! I think they feel good under my thumb. I feel like the 7800's is the best of these mini thumbsticks, with Sega's being the worst since it was a ball-top that hurt my thumb. Glad you got this replaced!
@zeratul2099 They reproduced these a few years back and it's possible to buy replacement sticks if you look around.
@benbradley Much appreciated!
So... those #AMD BC-250 singleboard #APUs have apparently 16 gb of DDR6 memory on them. These boards go for like $100-$150 on ebay, but ram is worth 10 times that. One of my friends in an #EE and we've gotten the idea to try and scrape one of these for ram and create our own DDR6 ram stick from scratch. If we can do this, these things become a gold mine. I wonder how impossible this will be lol. #tech #homebrew #engineering #electricalengineering
@benbradley I covet my retrode which has a GB attachment for this same reason, but the features on this thing sounds awesome. Got a link to them?
@noromamai do you have any US software to test on the Euro TG? I wonder if the card slot is wired up for NA games or JPN games. I remember when those Euro TGs first hit ebay and were cheap. I should have picked one up, they euro logo looks so cool.
