Legacy Media is in its Death Throes…

….	Date: December 06, 2022 01) LINK “Elon Musk’s takeoever of Twitter promises to level the playing field between citizen journalists and the legacy media that seems to walk in lockstop these days. But legacy media nuked itself long before Musk. Several newspapers, television networks and blogs are tossing employees overboard because of the downturn in the economy. Yet the New York Times union is planning a walkout to demand higher wages. Good luck with that.” Given how vicious legacy media has been towards citizen media…I hope it will not be much longer, before legacy media entirely implodes. We need media with integrity…and we are living in a time when many niche communities want their own media produced, from within their own community…largely because it will be produced by people who understand, and speak for that community…They aren’t being entirely lost, by some distant company funded by billions of dollars, and owned by special interest groups and individuals. The legacy medias traditional audience is dying…and the majority of the rest of us, simply do not want the slanted, misleading product they have to offer… …It’s pissing off a lot of citizens, watching legacy media doing all it can to destroy what citizen media has spent decades creating.	….

DnD Player BACKLASH Over Removal of Race from Dungeons & Dragons!…

….	Date: December 06, 2022 01) LINK “Wizards of the Coast is removing “race” from DnD, and players are reacting on social media. Some are blasting WotC because of bending the knee to faux media outrage, while others are complaining that the replacement term “species” is just as bad. Oh, and Oxford recognizes “goblin mode” as a dictionary entry and it means being selfish and greedy. Meanwhile, JK Rowling…”	….

Indiana Jones 5 Trailer CONFIRMS Those ‘Crazy’ YouTube Rumors?…

….	Date: December 03, 2022 01) LINK “The trailer for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (what a title) seemingly confirm the YouTube rumors about a time travel plot. And someone on 4chan claims to have seen a test screening and that OTHER rumor about Phoebe Wall-Bridge’s character supplanting Indiana Jones could also be true. However, director James Mangold vehemently denies it. Is he telling the truth, or will this be another Kevin Smith debacle?” Crystal Skull did not “ruin the franchise”…It was simply subpar. They need to recast the franchise characters…or develop new characters, and move forward with those…We don’t need the old characters…just good new ones.	….

D&D’s Forgotten 1995 Horror Game – Ravenloft: Stone Prophet Review…

….	Date: November 30, 2022 01) LINK “This time it’s not Strahd we’re fighting – but the vengeful mummy Anhktepot in the nightmarish desert of Har’Akir. Ravenloft: Stone Prophet was the second of the two Ravenloft video games that were created by SSI in the 1990’s. This one roughly follows the plotline for the lesser known ‘Touch of Death’ module that was released for Advanced Dungeons and Dragons in 1991.”	….

4-Bit Video Games: Tron, Scramble, Lupin, and Caveman by Tomy…

….	Date: November 29, 2022 01) LINK “Tomy made a lot of great handheld electronic games in the 1970s and 1980s, but my all-time favourite is Tomytronic Tron, based on the 1982 Disney movie. Over the years I picked up Scramble (Tomy) and Caveman (Tandy, by Tomy) and eventually noticed they have exactly the same form factor. With a bit of research I found out Scramble also goes by Alien Attack, Astro Blaster, and Rambler (exactly the same gameplay) but there’s one more unique game in this unofficial series: Lupin, which has an interesting story as well, somewhat connected with the Cliffhanger laserdisc game. Finally, I have all four games, so here’s a video showing them all in action, and I even have a shot at explaining how they work: they use the earliest SoCs (“system on a chip”) available, which are 4-bit CPUs with integrated I/O, ROM, and a little bit of RAM, which were originally designed for use in electronic calculators. So these are essentially 4-bit video games.” I totally remember these…They looked so cool on the store shelves, and in magazines.	….
