I give up again.

Nobody wants to help me with my stupid Atari 2600 project, so I give up. All I wanted to do was make a game about cutting nosehairs, but nooooooooooooooooo. Stupid life made it way too hard and made me hate my life and want me to die, so I'm giving up on it forever. I'm going back to stuff I already know how to do, like Pokemon Mini and Virtual Boy programming. Why did they have to make Atari 2600 assembly so stupid hard that I can't do much with it? Or is it that everyone can and I'm as dumb as a rock. Either way, working on it makes me angry. I hate being angry which makes me even more angry and then my eye starts hurting and before you know it, I'm a nervous wreck.

 

What's not making things easier is my stupid mouse is being a butthole and hating me. I can barely control my computer with it, and that's after trying to do the same thing four or so times before it finally guesses what I want it to do. And my stupid package has been lost in Michigan. I bought a Game Gear game and tracking last updated December 5. On Friday, I will contact the seller and say my package got lost. I don't know why I would have to wait a couple of days to do this because it's obviously not going to come.

 

And I bought on eBay a Tiger Electronics Quiz Wiz. I am going to make a Quiz Wiz cartridge. Even if it's technically impossible, I still have an idea for a very amusing cartridge which I will divulge at a later date, since this package could just as easily get lost in Washington.

Yeah, in times like these I would not be surprised if tracking of packages and the actual delivery is iffy. Hopefully it shows up soon enough.

 

As for programming, while I'm fairly confident in 6502 machine code I would never in a million years try to develop for the 2600, with all its chasing the beam, reusing graphical elements, using every single byte in the most efficient way etc. I understand many people are intrigued by it being such a classic system but ... yeah, I'm sure it is a recipe for getting stuck. I'm much rather targeting the VIC-20 or C64, which of course both I know by heart since 35 years ago but even without the previous knowledge I would prefer them.
