There is a great deal of risk involved, but also I see so many people on LinkedIn who one day brag about project A, then the next Project B, and then Project C, with nothing ever seeing the light of day

Yeah it wasn't that nostalgic for me but it has definitely upset a bunch of people :)

I'm writing for the new version :)

There are a lot of companies and developers who are totally fine with people conserving games but then you have others like Nintendo who are ruthless with legal threats and takedowns :(

I've a bunch of adapters for converting signals but the coax ones either needs mods or yeah an old tv, and even TVs with the input do not always tune in or hold signal any longer because they expect better

I need to search for all of those. I do remember playing solitaire, that is about matching columns of cards by suit or something?

I bought in at a peak long ago so unless we see it 1000% I am always going to regard hive as a personal failure but it does help me not panic when it is worth less than the electricity we burn browsing

It seems the more flexibility we give these tools, the worse they do. Apart from making things pretty - in that regard sometimes they surprise me in a nice way
