I think that it’s possible to covert some sequential‐line (or interlaced; whatever) CRTs to vector operation, but it’s a specialist job, and suitable donor tubes are themselves getting rarer.

there's a vintage barcade near me and they have a star wars trench run game with a vector display and holy poo poo the first time and every subsequent time i experienced it it was rad. i would definitely prefer it to be a technology that does not go obsolete because it's so unique and can't really be emulated. it's like the first time you see true UHD HDR content, your brain tingles

Yeah most of us are from the late 1900s now in fact there was a tweet about it that made me let out a kind of "urrrrrk" sound and whole-body slump of angerdefeatresignation

We had at least one proper vector display game at my old work - I can't remember which one it was, probably Asteroids - and yeah you're right. I didn't even know what it was until someone told me but there's something visceral about those displays that kicks the poo poo out of a raster CRT. Shame that they will basically become unserviceable in a couple of years.

Now there is and it ruins her view. Also the strata body corporate had already decided to replace the divider when she bought the apartment but she didn't do her due diligence and check the minutes, the person she sued wasn't the one who installed the divider, she tried to sue that random person for 'damages' of $1000 per day that the divider was left in place, and her filings were full of bizarre sovcit bullshit like demanding the judge swear a special oath and designate the court the "naomi arbabi court" etc etc etc The Law Society can usually put in motion procedures to have a lawyer censured and decide what should happen with their license but in this instance they skipped all that and disbarred her immediately

I see my childhood toys there next to ball-and-cup and lawn darts and cornhusk dolls, a layer of rhetorical dust covering the whole thing, a plaque with a rolleyes emoji saying "how far we've come" Press the button to incinerate these primitive gewgaws of yesteryear! We've got real games now!

People sleep in front of the fence in a not very sober state and in the morning these fences are opened from a remote location. One guy got stuck in the mechanism at the top I think.

On the drive home the car in front of us drifted right and its front right corner smacked into the back left corner of a parked car. The moving car lurched up on its two left tires at a 30 degree angle for a few feet, then smacked back down and smashed into a curb.
