Why a rotary cellphone? Because in a finicky, annoying, touchscreen world of hyperconnected people using phones they have no control over or understanding of, I wanted something that would be entirely mine, personal, and absolutely tactile,while also giving me an excuse for not texting. 

IntegerScaler is a free utility for upscaling windowed games with an integer ratio and with no blur. Such scaling is known as integer (integer-ratio, integer-factor, integral) scaling, pixel-perfect scaling, and pixel doubling.

This allows playing games with no quality loss e. g. at Full-HD (1920×1080) resolution on 4K (3840×2160) monitors, unlike ever-blurry bilinear interpolation used for full-screen scaling by displays and graphics drivers.

Much effort will be put into the designing of vehicles with "Robot-brains"*vehicles that can be set for particular destinations and that will then proceed there without interference by the slow reflexes of a human driver.

"I'd decided I was going to play every role playing game ever released for the PC in chronological order.

"Anyone who has dug their old computer or console out of the cupboard or loft for some retro gaming will probably have noticed that it maybe hasn’t worn too well with the test of time.

"I wanted to imagine whether "CD culture" might also return in the future, and if so, what might drive it and what it might involve."

"In today's world of huge, sharp LCD monitors, it's hard to remember what a videogame image looked like on an ordinary television of the late 1970s. Emulators like Stella make it possible to play Atari games on modern computers, serving the function of archival tool, development platform, and player for these original games. But unfortunately, they also give an inaccurate impression of what Atari games looked like on a television."

In November of 1982 my best friend had a Sony TCS-310 Stereo Cassette Recorder. Audio cassette tape was the affordable recording medium at the time and one wintery day while on our way to the arcade 'Just Fun' in Ithaca, NY, we came up with the idea to record video game sounds in the arcades.
