@brostoevksy @NostalgiaPro C-C-C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!

@NostalgiaPro Saturday 9:03am, so, uh, these sloppy controls and combos aren’t very intuitive. what other games do you have

So this happened. My wife, who’s not really into video games outside of Mario Kart, was snooping through my collection. I wasn’t paying any attention until she let out this massive “wooooooaahhhhhhhh.” Since she’s 5 months pregnant and I’m on guard 24/7, I came running over asking what was wrong. She looks at me dead serious and goes, “YOU HAVE KILLER INSTINCT?!?!” Turns out she used to play it constantly with her brothers as kids. That black cartridge has been sitting front and center on my shelf for at least 2 years and she never noticed it. Sorry guys, I’m busy this weekend. Wife wants to play Killer Instinct on the Super Nintendo.😂

@RalphGarman That poor brain worm is starving to death in there

This robot isn’t just playing table tennis — it’s sometimes beating human pros, a major leap for machines in the real world.

@anishmoonka This isn’t even close to the hardest thing I’ve beaten as a gamer. Does this mean I am a super hero?

If you beat this level as a kid, your brain was doing the same fifty-hour training researchers now run on adult volunteers in a lab. Action gamers react about 45 milliseconds faster than non-gamers and make decisions a quarter quicker without sacrificing accuracy. Brain scientists at Rochester and Geneva have been measuring this for over twenty years. The level is Mine Cart Carnage. Eighth stage of Donkey Kong Country. November 1994. Built by a team of twelve working out of a village in rural Leicestershire. It was the first time the game ever took control away from you. The cart started rolling. You couldn't slow it down. You had to time jumps between broken tracks while lizards drove carts at your face from the opposite direction. And the cart weighed more than you did, so every jump messed with your landing. Daphne Bavelier at the University of Geneva has spent her career studying exactly this kind of game. Her 2003 Nature paper showed that fast-paced action games physically rewire the brain's attention circuits. Fifteen years later, Bediou and colleagues combined dozens of these studies into one big review of the field. You get sharper at picking out what matters and ignoring what doesn't. Spatial puzzles get easier. And in one Bavelier experiment, gamers figured out made-up vocabulary from a fake language in twenty minutes. Non-gamers needed forty. Rare bought Silicon Graphics computers, roughly eighty thousand pounds each, to build this game. Those were the same kind of computers that animated the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park. A single picture of Donkey Kong, rendered on one of those computers, took up more memory than an entire Super Nintendo game could hold. So Rare built a compression trick from scratch and squeezed the 3D models into flat images the console could actually run. The computers ran all night. A massive air conditioner kept the machines from frying, while the team worked through the summer heat with no AC of their own. 9.3 million copies sold. Nintendo spent sixteen million dollars marketing it in America alone, more than triple the industry average. Every kid who got stuck on Mine Cart Carnage and kept restarting until they beat it was running the same kind of experiment neuroscientists now study in their labs. Fifty hours of it.

@IGN 2 weeks

Donald Trump has said a UFO review has turned up “many very interesting documents,” which his administration would release "very soon.” bit.ly/4tfKwJz
