That's really cool that someone thought to preserve this and put it on display in a museum. It's like a modern historical artifact from the golden age of computing.

We're done here. That's the one.
Yeah, this sums up the situation quite nicely. I have nothing more to add other than saying it's one more reason why it sucks to be a Floridian right now. We already had it bad enough with the oppressive summer heat and lack of seasons here, but now we've got some of the worst state leadership in the country to add a nice cherry on top of the shit sundae.
I do remember Lost Souls, yeah.
And that Papyrus font... I can feel the 90's-era PC gaming vibes radiating off of it. Love it.
Jeez. What a pathetic loser.
This was my first reaction to the article as well. The only one around me suddenly vanished a few months ago.
I'll be keeping an eye on this thread because I would also love to know if I'm missing out on some good games journalism out there. Sadly, sites like what you've described are increasingly rare in the modern era. Nevertheless, here are a few that come to mind:
NintendoLife is pretty great for this if you're looking for Nintendo-related news, reviews, interviews, and feature articles.
One of their affiliate sites, Time Extension, is also really good for long-form articles and retrospectives about retro games.
And while it's mostly just news, like you said, Polygon will sometimes surprise you with some really excellent feature articles that have a lot of thought and research put into them.
Yeah, that surprised me, actually.
I just took Mastodon for a spin only a week or so ago, and it felt much less active than most of the communities on here do. Just my anecdotal experience, though. I couldn't find more than a handful of Twitter-migrated accounts on Mastodon that I cared to follow. There just wasn't much happening on there that I'm interested in when I last checked. I'll look again.
Oh hell yeah they are. I'm a tech enthusiast, myself. Don't even get me started on Wednesdays because I'll never stop.
Because it's just an incredibly small userbase made up mostly of tech/privacy enthusiasts as of right now.
That is, indeed, interesting as fuck.
