#surprise!!

that a couple days ago someone was searching through a VMS/VAX tape backup from 1983 of a computer that had been in Atari's coin-op division, when they found...

...a previously unknown Atari 2600 game named 'Fish'.

No one knows for sure who the programmer was, or whether this was something official or just a fun project someone was working on (since this was not found in the home console division).

But I'm here to tell you it is freaking amazing. I've thrown the ROM at every emulator I have (Stella 7 on the PC, StellaDS on the Nintendo DS, Dingux Stella on the Dingoo A-320 handheld, and of course the Atari Flashback Portable) and it plays in all of them.

Where to get the ROM as a .bin [AtariAge] A review and instructions thus figured out [AtariProtos]

on a whim I made a palette game dedicated to.... UNUSUAL color palettes. feel free to participate in any way you’d like

I leaned in like I was going to kiss her, watching as her eyes closed, her breath quickened. Took in the anticipation and lust on her face that I was so used to seeing. My mouth ghosted over hers, the barest pressure against her lips, and she gave a small gasp as I did so. I reached up and threaded my fingers through the low bun she kept her hair in, and all of a sudden tightened my grip so that her gasp turned into a groan as I moved my mouth to her neck. 

Mine, I thought fiercely. Mine. 

ganz unerwartet - chapter eight

pairing: lando norris x molly chapman (original character)

summary: Country pop icon Molly Chapman has it all: sold-out world tours, private jets, and designer everything. Despite the dizzying heights of fame and fortune, something is still missing, especially after leaving a toxic relationship behind. Swearing off men completely, Molly throws herself into her career, having convinced she's perfectly fine on her own. That is, until Lando Norris, Formula One's walking, talking, exclamation point, crashes into her life. When his viral, half-baked plan to get her attention actually succeeds, it sparks a love story that has the internet swooning. Amidst intense public scrutiny and the crushing weight of high expectations, this is a tale of love, loss, and the journey to find that one person who becomes your safe space and soulmate in an otherwise deafening world.

Instead, they find Toji, still sitting on the couch where they had left him, vision focused on the television without a second thought, and then they see another kid. He looks to be about Tsumiki’s age—short with a small frame, wearing a light blue shirt and a pair of black shorts. Both hands are wrapped around the straps of a backpack that almost looks comically large on him, as if his parents never bothered to buy one for a kid of his size. His hair is jet-black, sticking up erratically in all directions, and it’s clear that he either doesn’t care about it, or he doesn’t know how to tame it.
