[Hello everyone, it's Chris. As usual for his posts while there's no event going on, he has very important things to talk about.]

Hey guys. So, while I've had the time to work on it, I've been taking apart the code Rhys used to make Pong and I think I've got enough of a handle on it to start making some games. Really basic games, though.

[Don't ask him to make Crysis or something.]

So yeah, any requests? I was thinking Tetris, and maybe like, a chess game or something? I dunno. I'm open to suggestions.

[And on that note--]

Em and I are also taking suggestions on the emoji front, too. We've already decided we need a tiny violin for Emily's abject lack of sympathy for my plights in life, but while we're adding one we might as well add a bunch.

[So yeah. That concludes this super important, incredibly necessary post.]

Dude.

These are amazing.

[He's super pleased with these actually; they're all at least slightly familiar to him now that he sees diagrams, and much clearer than written descriptions probably would've been.]

Space Invaders I know, and I think I played a different version of Tank as a kid.

[Prussia is very proud of himself and his memory for video games. After all, what else has he done with himself for the last 4 decades? Not much else.]

i remember some kind of tank arcade game too??
but i don't think i had a port of it. it was different than the atari one

also i guess it depends on how old you were as a kid as to what system it was on

i'm super old

Oh yeah, how old?

The version of Tank I played was called Tank Wars, I think? And it was on DOS; I think it was my cousin's old computer, since DOS was a little before me.

older than the birth of video games, let's just say that

oh man yeah i forgot about good ol' DOS games. how complicated is something like those on these phones

You know, that could be not very old depending on what time you're from. Just saying.

DOS-level stuff isn't too bad on these, actually.

ok well if you must know i'm

i'm like 800 something

so i've spent the majority of my life without video games and TV and stuff but it can be a lot more boring without it

as we've learned by being in Hadriel

Wow okay that's definitely older than I thought

But at least you appreciate technology instead of being stuck on the 'good old days'

[occupiesvitalregions]

if i didn't embrace technology i'd just be an old museum relic in no time!! besides, it's fun and cool and any old person who complains about it is just jealous they don't get it

Dude you are officially the coolest old person I know.

[He likes that attitude.]
