The hardware focus centers on the announced Neo Geo AES+ console from WinFuture, promising native ASIC operation for original cartridges, directly confronting the emulation debate. Multiple physical events are promoted, including 'Retropolis' in Valencia and consistent programming for 'Retronom' in Dortmund.

Attendees are keenly focused on physical hardware preservation, specifically demanding native functionality over software emulation, as detailed by @[email protected] regarding the Neo Geo AES experience. @[email protected] maintains a constant stream of promotion for its multi-faceted venue, while @[email protected] is promoting the Valencia event, bridging retro computing with modern, open-source development tools via a Godot workshop.

Minulla on sattuneesta syystä valtavan korkea kynnys tehdä videoita mistään yhtään arveluttavammasta syystä, mutta mennäänpä kerrankin vähän sinne epämääräisemmille moraalisille vesille. Teenage Queen on näet nakupokeri parhaasta päästä.
