Time will.

Thanks for that Wongojack, looks like an interesting place.

True, this has been the go to.  Kinda consolidated it all nicely into one place.

There are a few places I know of.  For starters, quite a few Facebook forums for Atari.

I see some activity on Atari.org.  A very dated and unsecure site sadly.  😕

This one looks active https://atari-forum.com/

Club VCS... looks cool..  https://forums.atari.io/forum/131-vcs-topics/

And back that up a bit, the other forums..  https://forums.atari.io/

There's lots of Atari out there, just curious what other places other people find fun to frequent?

Hahah!!!   And now you know why that happened.

As I like to point out, is the "Atari" that hurt you THIS current Atari, or one of the various Ataris in the past?

I learned somewhere along the way, probably around 2008, that the childhood memories I had with Atari stuff, and the corporation calling itself "Atari" was not the same.

So I get in a minor way the "did wrong by me" comment.  I remember when the Atari back then came down on some people wanting to develop games and getting the good ole C&D.   Was a valuable reminder that these memories were not just fun in our heads, but active properties still of some people still hoping to make a buck.

Selling this place to Atari is about akin to crossing the streams.  It is good to separate what you care about from business.  And very rarely do hobby and corporate money mix well.

So you are in favor of it.   Bottom line, happy for Al and him landing his gig at Atari.  This Atari.   Glad he has this arrangement with this Atari.

We all know "Ataris" don't last any notable time.  And the relationship between this Atari goes well for that duration, this place will be passed on to the next owners.  Whoever that will be.  😕 

As your video seems to imply, the place may have been on borrowed time, but now rather than being in the fate of hobbyists, it is in the hands of Corporations and Lawyers.  Very different world, and a few different way of wrapping up this place.

I've submitted parody song ideas to a radio station that was doing parody songs.   Even one that was completely written.

With the purchase of Accolade by Atari and along with it the Bubsy franchise I mentioned to Atari through Twitter if their could buy the rights to Fast Eddie they could add my Bubsy hack for the Atari 2600.  Never heard anything back on that.

There is a big difference between hobby community and official corporate site, is my thoughts on it.

I believe things will go more or less "business as usual". Of course before we were a bunch of hobbyists and developers, and no matter what "Atari" did, no matter how good, or stupid, this place was not related to those "Atari's".

But now, after all the Atari's we've seen, this place has sold this place lock stock an barrel to the current "Atari".

So whatever decisions Atari makes now directly effects this place.  And when that Atari goes down, this place will be passed on to the next Atari after that.

So... maybe not COMPLETELY business as usual.

If talking about Atariage... indeed.

Interestingly enough, Elon hasn't changed the Twitter movie platform to "X-Movies".  Not sure why. 

The Earth says back "Haven't you heard, today is Never Surrender Day!"

True to a point.  Actually I think we would sooner destroy ourselves, and the Earth will be burnt for a bit, but nature has a way of fighting back and reclaiming it's domain.

Let us know where you post it.  Giving the TI some love... awesome.

Ha, I tell you, our church had a softball team and we played with another church's team.

Was hilarious watching two holy roller groups loose their composure over a little competition.

Hearing the words "Social Media" and collapse all together was interesting.  What's going on or what have you seen/read on this?

Bluetooth driven?   Holy cow!

The danger is always there.  Sometimes things happen.   And for the adventurer that is part of the thrill, to go to such places, dare such dangers, and return.   And most of the time we do.   But sometimes luck runs out.

Ultimately I salate the daring of such adventurers.

That's funny and I can kinda see it.   He is probably secretly a Bubsy fan. 

And yet we have nothing on Australia. 

Krool eh?   (the villain of Zool)

Zool has his eyes on you...

That is a fun little cross over.

So currently on world 4 (Tool World) and just loving this game.

It's like they listened to what people said were crap about Zool games, didn't do that, and did the things that people liked about Zool.   Lovely. 

It would be as if they gave multiple hits for Bubsy.   (Hint hint Atari....)

They did a lot of things right.  They backed up the camera so you see a lot more of the screen.  That is something that also worked for the newer Bubsy games.

They made it where you don't have to collect items.  Great for speedrunning.   And also put in a double jump.

The heart likes what the heart likes.
