Ever wonder why a Supergun has such a stupid (but cool) name?

It was just a name used by Taiwanese firm Gamesgroup Corp, similar to later products like Super Wildcard & SuperUFO game copiers

Raven Games (London) got their own version made to UK spec & called it Supergun Deluxe. It stuck

A later Super Gun II, wired for MD / Neo Geo controllers, as all Superguns / brands of controller-less Control Boxes were

I can do hashtag relatable comics too you know
4 panel(?) comic(?) P1: the words "RELATABLE COMIC" against a blank white background P2: The entire comic you are now reading, anthropomorphized with a pair of arms and legs, standing there. P3: The same, only now they are bent over in pain, holding their "lower back" with their right hand, ad they say "OOF. Me BACK" P4: we bring the POV all the wayboit, as we reveal the Comic Being is stood on a shoreline, ominous clouds boiling in the all too red sky.

Today the British union IWGB said it has filed formal legal claims against Rockstar Games for firing 30+ employees two weeks ago, as Bloomberg first reported. Rockstar said the employees were leaking information. The IWGB calls it union-busting. More to come as the legal process plays out...

NEW: the IWGB has filed formal legal claims against Rockstar after it says the company refused to meet to discuss bringing back fired developers.

"Rockstar has declined to meet with the IWGB, leading the union and barristers to issue formal legal claims on behalf of the Claimants."

I’m thinking about having Retro Remake host a PS1 homebrew game jam with cash prizes and free SuperStation one units.

Thoughts?

how to debate a german
12 panel comic P1: Two characters --from their respective waists up-- stand on the left and right of frame, facing one another. The smaller one on the left has a yellow triangular head, with a smiling face. The one on the right is taller, and has a purple rectangular head, with a severe moustachio'd face. The one on the left waves to the other and begins to say "hello! My name i--" before the other interrupts with a loud "NEIN!" P2, 3 & 4: A look of disappointment on their face, Trianguy, puts their waving hand down, then titlts their head back as they inhale deeply through their nose. P5: Severe closeup on Trianguy's face as he quietly says "ten." P6: Back to the previous POV, as Trianguy then leans in threateningly towards Rectanguy, silently pointing at him. P7: A pleasant smile back on their face, Trianguy leans back to his previous position, as Rectanguy looks on with shock. P8: TG walks into the foreground, as a visibly shaken RG watches them go. P9: We take a beat, as RG stares at his open hands --palm up-- as they begin to quake. P10: Suddenly, the art takes on a violent roughness, as RG --a look of utter fear and pain on his face-- places both hands on the side of his head as he goes "ÜÜÜÜ" P11: We dolly back to reveal TG walking away toward us, hands in pockets, a smug look of satisfaction on their face. In the distance, a mere silhouette, RG continues to spasm and go "ÜÜÜÜÜÜ" P12: RG violently explodes. Backlit --the rest in deep shadow-- TG continues walking.

A comic in which we open on master artist, god amongst men, creator of Garfield, Jim Davis. He sits at a graphic tablet, drawing his latest masterpeice. There is a look of happiness on his face, but the way he is underlit by the screen tells us something is off. Jim says: "HA HA, 'DID YOU EAT MY LASAGNA,' HA HA" In the next panel we switch to Jim's POV and see what's on the tablet's screen. There is a full colour drawing of Garfield. Jim's hand, holding a stylus, is obscuring part of the image, as he writes in Not-Heathcliff's dialogue. All that is written is "SM" The next panel is the same view, but now the dialogue is complete, and Jim's hand isn't visible, allowing us to see the image --and dialogue-- in full: "SMITE THE NON-BELIEVERS, JIM... BUILD ME A THRONE OF THEIR SKULLS" Final panel. Jim looks as weirdly happy as ever, but now his face is beaded in sweat. There is a beat, before he quietly says "y-yes... master"

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.

That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

Welcome to the truly open hardware & open source retro storage revolution.

We've worked together to make this awesome front panel work in both PicoIDE and BlueSCSI.

Are you ready for #PicoIDE? It seems to be telling me it's ready. Coming soon: ATAPI optical disc emulation and IDE hard drive emulation. picoide.com
A beige computer front with a PicoIDE (also in beige) in the 3.5" drive bay. The PicoIDE has a OLED screen showing the PicoIDE logo, a full progress bar, and the text "Ready!" There is a LED showing a cyan color, up/down/cancel/ok buttons, a microSD slot, and a 3.5" headphone jack.

Adding a bunch of environmental gimmicks like ledges and various obstacles. Ledges took a while to make but you can dodge while jumping off them, it feels cool.

6 panel comic P1: An impossibly buff Garfield knockoff (with distressingly visible nipples) towers over Jon, who is cat-sized, and lying on all fours on a table surface. P2: Same, only now Buffield points at Jon with their right hand, and reaches for him with their left. They boom: "HUMAN" P3: Brofield lays their left hand on Jon's back with such force, the latter begins to deform. Masculinifield demands: "I PET YOU. INITIATE THAT SOUND WHICH PLEASES ME SO" P4: Crushing Jon even further, The Garf lowers their head menacingly to stare at their quarry. P5: Closeup on a panicked looking and sweating Jon, as he starts shakily singing the chorus from "Hero" by Chad Kroeger. P6: As Jon continues belting out that absolute tune from off-panel, we go to a closeup of Garry Field, their face dramatically underlit. They let out a satisfied "bueno"
