@zombiewarrior @hitc a school mate had an Atari pong cocktail game at his house. As a kid, I had found a Lloyds TV sports 801 at a yard sale, only 2 years old and it had hockey as one of the games. You could run the console on 6 C size batteries, and the top opened to store the two controllers.

It would also be a more flexible option not just for "dumb #terminals" like a VT320 or VT525, thus desireable for a lot of #legacy / #embedded setup and allow for integrating like a #serial #console into a "Managment LAN" (which should be #airgapped!)…
- Also an #EthernetModem would really be a cost-effective option compared to proprietary solutions, espechally when one can make a #DINrail-mounted version.
So yeah, a #LAN232 / #Ethernet232 would be kinda cool, even if it's just a #PiZero 1.3 with a USB Serial & Ethernet Chip in a case.

The (multiplayer) game DELTA FORCE is coming to console. Does anyone play the PC version anyway? I didn't hear much about it lately.
Question is, does it, as a free to play title, require PS PLUS (paid online multiplayer)?
There is no clear answer yet, it seems ...

And then add to the fact that whilst #9thGenConsoles are the most expensive [by sticker price, not adjusted for inflation!] and have evidently the most powerful hardware & best tooling compared to previous generations, they too lack a reason to even consider buying them.
- It's worse than #8thGenConsoles cuz they at least had [at release] good #Exclusives worth the money.
I literally know folks that got themselves the #JapanoBox 4 for "#DetroitBecomingHuman" and there are people who bought the #HaloStation One for "#Halo5" [which is still #console-exclusive]
- but I know literally noone who bought the #PS5 / #PS5Pro or #XboxSeries / #XboxSeriesX and didn't have instant "#BuyersRegret" as both have a worse lineup than the #Nintendo64!

No paid service any more for me! The cost of those services went through the roof the past years and the gain for me as a gamer was mediocre at best. (1/2)

Anyone can recommend forgotten books about designing and programming text user interfaces (TUI) for consoles/terminals, also known as screen design back in the 80s?
*Not* curses or using existing libraries, but more like relying directly on ANSI/VT100 control sequences. And *no*, I'm not asking for a list of escape sequences :)
The kind of material I'm thinking of is something close to the 1989 "Programming the User Interface: Principles and Examples" by Judith R. Brown and Steve Cunningham. But focused on TUI exclusively. The more (pseudo-)code, the better.
