You are talking a lot of philosophical stuff, but the reality was when you wanted to get the low level hardware, there was very little documentation. Even banks of the technical documents had giant blanks saying these are a bunch of video registers and interrupts, basically good luck lol

I don’t sense that you have any actual experience programming on that platform, because if you did you’d know what I’m saying

My assumption was it had something to do with luminosity, but I’m at the end of my technical expertise for this implementation of insane technology lol

I’m going to actually you lol

The reason it works better with CRT is because of the phosphors. They continue to glow, long after the signal has passed over. Check out a CRT slow motion.

Everything to do with display technology involves tricking the eye and relying on persistence of vision which is innate.

Straight answer, I don’t know lol

Backlit through window

Toplit by LED lamp

There is no way that the pictures I’ve snapped can produce the colors accurately. When I look at that small section, it reflects forest green light back to my eye. The light that passes through seems to be muddy yellowish

I could also see DLP being applied in new QM research… lasers are being increasingly used to trap and manipulate atomic nuclei

You are totally remembering correctly! I recall this as well, but the hype died out quickly.

Oh my beloved C64! I made my first “real” games with it, my buddies were artistic and made the music, sprites, animations, etc. I programmed the tools to make them!

The worst aspect of the C64 was that the hardware was a mostly undocumented mystery zone. As an early teen, I had the C64 programmer’s reference manual checked out of our library for 2 years!!! Doing any kind of advanced graphics meat PEEKing and POKEing random addresses and registers and interrupts to see what would happen. A nightmare! My hat’s off to all the demo scene folks that did ludicrous stuff

edit: My first released game was “Studmaster” replete with every horrible thing your mind is currently imaging lmao. I’m not proud of this now but it was pretty wild for two 14 year old kids in the 80’s to make a small-scale text/graphic adventure game and publish it

I’m so happy you noticed, the colors cannot be reproduced in a digital photo, when it shines in the sun it’s so beautiful!

BBS ARE THE WEB GUYS

It sounds insane, but the array that drives it is functionally not that different from the array that individually causes LCD crystals to shift.

I have DLP parts sitting around because they’re cool.

Edit pics:

Edit2 explanation: A white light is focused onto the DLP mirror chip through a kind of kaleidoscopic lens, I’ll spare you the details on that. The individual microscopic mirrors are aligned with charges to bounce light. The mirror array pulses synced frames through the spinning color wheel to create a composite image. It’s a fucking insane idea that barely works… and people like me, with low persistence of vision, are not fooled very well and we see color banding and all kinds of weird artifacting lol

Why would an add-on be needed for this when all of those are tracked by the internals?

What special and unique features do these offer that do not come native to the device?

Best thing about Vegas is the Pinball Museum & Hall of Fame.

I got double-LITZ there on my honeymoon vacation, and it was more meaningful to me than the marriage.

My card-based probability/skill games are currently on Riverboats. I just made the games, no concept whatsoever about the hardware side.

I’m curious as hell… what do they track and how?

In terms of frequency, women are significantly worse than men; men more damage per physical act of violence.

In terms of emotional and psychological violence, women are so far ahead of the race they disappeared over the horizon.

Always remember that coke and pepsi do not use recycled plastic in their coke or pepsi packaging, yet they are outwardly huge proponents of recycling the waste they create

This is known as a joke.

One of the most sinister problems is with fee-fee vegans and vegetarians, who in service of their ignorance, kill way more things to sustain their politically-motivated and fee-fee-based lifestyle.

I’m as close to vegetarian as my body will allow. I’m just calling the movement for what it is. Eat something that had a face? OMG! Flatten millions of acres, kill billions of insects, displace and kill millions of animals, farm the land with diesel equipment, ship the product in trucks 2000 miles. So vegan potato chips are on the shelves, and no worries we can wear our crocheted shoulder bags with self-assured pride!!

Not so much the spelling, just… I went to school with a girl who’s father fled the law and they ended up near us in Canada… they were originally from a trailer park in Tennessee

Her name was “Dollarina”
