@bj i've seen a lot of people asking for CWs on AI-generated art, might be a good idea to add one to this

@monsterblue also i guess calling it contemporary with the NES is a bit misleading, it came out a few years after the NES but still a while before the SNES, and a year before the genesis

@monsterblue this is a coregrafx, the second revision of the hardware, but it's in the same exact case as the original pc-engine

it's so tiny that when they made the turbografx-16, the north american version, they put it in a substantially bigger case just so it would look More Powerful, but it's all the same hardware so it's just a 90% empty case

@monsterblue the PC-engine was a really powerful system for its time

it wasn't truly 16 bit, was kind of a hybrid of 8- and 16-bit architecture, but it had a pretty strong edge on the competition considering it was contemporary with the NES and substantially more powerful

also it's tiny, let me go get a picture to show you how tiny this thing is

@monsterblue hucards (the cartridges used for the pc-engine) also had exposed pins

re: food, local recommendations 

@owashii@plush.city @LexYeen there is one chain restaurant we will always recommend: if you're ever in alabama, you have to visit full moon barbecue

Dreamland barbecue too, if you're in the Tuscaloosa/Birmingham area. That's technically a chain too but they have like five locations

@patchwork i dunno the c2000 architecture is not pleasant to work with

@trysdyn the wii u had gimmicks and was also part of that generation but even nintendo has kind of stopped the gimmicks
-F

@cassolotl@queer.party i am somewhat upset that so many people seem to dislike eye contact cws?
-F

@patchwork though i know there's some stuff built around TI's C2000 architecture that uses sodimm for the mpu connection too, we worked with one of those (a DSP430 i believe) in college
-F

@patchwork also neat to hear about something that uses CPU cards, that's not been common since... was it the pentium 2 or original pentium?
