I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

Autism is: fine, common, normal
The problem is a world where only some brains are valuable/able to succeed.
If we are concerned about Autism as a "problem," there are real tangible things we could be doing to make the world better for everyone instead of pretending we can prevent neurodiversity.

The ROM for the unreleased Virtual Boy game Virtual League Baseball 2 has surfaced online. It was planned to be released in 1996 but was ultimately shelved.
About 3 decades later and we can now play this once lost game. Play ball!

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?

It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

Tried to participate a bit more in the open source space and started doing some PR for Godot.

Expectation: Being ridiculed (I'm not super good at C++)

Reality: Super kind and chill contributors pointing out some mistakes and having constructive feedback. I even got my first PR merged :>!

It costs a mere 9k to ask him to record a business video on Cameo. Mr. Wozniak, respectfully, is it worth it?
