TeamEurope dumped an MGT 20-in-1 console, which has some games found in the Senario My Sports Challenge Plus, but also some other almost certainly unlicensed clones with terrible sound design.

@ray_tubular People post 'how do I remove xx' lists fairly often if you check forums etc. Traditionally it was 'Mahjong' games (and people would try to insult MAME by calling it MAMJONG etc.) then as soon as we reintroduced Video Poker, those became the target of abuse.
@ray_tubular Non-English games / clones are often the target too, as are Korean / Chinese games people consider to be junk. In some circles the 70s arcades as they're "not real games"

Since the MESS merger it is of course any consoles that weren't popular, or stuff that isn't games..
@ray_tubular basically there's a large core of people who think that only popular stuff *they* care about should matter, and the inconvenience of having maybe half a gig of stuff they don't care about in a MAME set is too much, even if they could just ignore it.

So apparently if I buy something off eBay, which is supplied with the wrong power adapter, and is a fire hazard, it melts and burns when I turn it on, so I throw it in the bin to get the stench out the house I'm not allowed to leave negative feedback due to 'feedback extortion'
I didn't even ask for a refund, I simple told the seller that since it was a low cost item I was leaving negative feedback as it wasn't as described ('working') and moved on. It was dangerous and I wasn't fishing it back out of the bin to return, nor did I want a refund.
so I'd advise strong caution against buying anything from 'ej-gaming' on eBay, as they're not willing to accept negative feedback for faulty and dangerous products without reporting you for feedback extortion after harassing you to remove it.

One thing that should not be understated with this thing is just how much art is traced / 'borrowed' Plenty of NeoGeo rips like these...
It should also not be underestimated just how buggy these games are. I thought there was a bug with my input reading because Tetris doesn't rotate for the first button press on any piece. Turns out hardware does the same, first rotate action on any piece will make a sound only.
There's a video of the game in the other version of the system, where they changed the title to "Boom Blocks" (here it is called "Maze Pac" for some inexplicable reason - it's not Pacman) but the bug remains. Count the clicks, watch the rotations.

Alright, time to begin my #StarWars rewatch with my favorite movie about the taxation of trade routes!!
“A communications disruption can mean only one thing… invasion!”

Man, Naboo must have some AMAZING systems for their to be no other reason at all Sio Bibble can think of. Like do they just never lose their internet or have a bad signal? What a paradise.
When Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon swim underwater with Jar Jar, it reminds me how much I like the Naboo Star Tours section when I get it.

Even today, in 2019 I continue to see gross generalizations and characterizations of the ‘online video gamer’ (OVG) based on stereotypes and conjecture. Let’s get to the truth of it *cracks knuckles* (a thread)
The stereotypical OVG is a socially inept, obsessed, reclusive, (white) male. This characterization is shared with a number of other groups too, suggesting it reflects a set of behaviors and concerns common to a range of groups (e.g., DnD players, engineers)
Indeed, research has confirmed similarities in stereotypic content between OVGs and other groups (including other kinds of gaming groups). Notably, the characteristic of social ineptitude, is not a distinctive to OVGs , questioning the unique role that CMC plays in these spaces.

0/12- So... you feel devalued at work. That your work (craft, perspective) isn't appreciated. You feel diminished and pushed to the side. I've been there. It can be paralyzing.

What can help? #design #ux #prodmgmt #testing
1/12- Empathy... all of your coworkers probably feel, to some degree, that their work is not fully valued and understood. Only one of your coworkers actually has *lots* of power...the CEO, and even she reports to a board.
2/12- Realize that often efforts to "get a seat at the table" without closer collaboration actually makes the problem worse. We all imagine we will be *more responsible* once we get "power". And then realize we were solving the wrong problem.

How to determine scope and price in the first meeting with a prospect. Discussion sequence:

1. What’s your goal?
2. What’s getting in the way? Why?
3. How might we solve? Are you sure?
4. What’s that worth?
5. How will we measure?
6. (Float a price range).

#business of #design
Diagnose before you prescribe. Make sure it’s a problem worth solving. Offer recommendations (even if it doesn’t involve you). And only offer your solution, if you feel confident it will actually help them.

Everything I’ve learned from @theChrisDo @jonathanstark @blairenns
Mindset going into a #sales meeting to remove the pressure:

Don’t ever WANT the job. (That makes you say and do funny things). Rather, WANT to genuinely HELP the other person. Even if it means it has nothing to do with the service your offer.

Walk away if it’s not a good fit.

1. I'm working on a new book that teaches design to everyone - and I've read over 40 "design books" as research.

One major observation is how frequently design is described as a solitary activity, taking place mostly in one person's mind. Despite how rarely that happens in life.
2. At the same time, designer's frustrations frequently focus on the other people they have to work with (including clients!).

Which makes for a professional trap: the major challenge of design (collaboration/persuasion) isn't seen as part of design education.
3. For some, when project management, or team politics comes up, it's out of bounds - "that's not design!"

But I'm here to say YES IT IS. What good is a design plan if it can't be built? Or the team won't build it? A design can't change the world if it doesn't get made.
