Comment MISTer FPGA (Score 1) 83

Anyone that finds this interesting that hasn't already should read up on the MISTer project. It uses the Altera DE10-Nano FPGA dev board that allows it to run a very large number of retro computers, consoles, and arcade machines.

The project created a framework to standard a way to load different FPGA cores, and how IO works. This makes trying out a new system as easy to drag and dropping a compiled core and a disk image on an SD card or network share and you are up and running versus dealing with re-imaging SD cards for each system.

If you have Sprint, it should already be roaming on Verizon's network which has been the rural network of choice in the area's I've been. Though some of that coverage is Verizon's roaming agreement with US Cellular.

AT&T's rural support has been mostly dodgy. Google's Fi service allows connecting to TMobile, Sprint, and US Cellular which can give the best coverage. You are limited on which phones are supported, but it will give you the best coverage anywhere you go. If you are in a Verizon area both Sprint and US Cellular are able to roam on it.

It also shows that movies aren't a very good medium compared to mini series for many stories.

Try imagining either of your examples as a movie, trying to cut it down to 2-2.5 hours would make either horrible IMO. Now things like Game of Throne, Walking Dead, etc.

Then there's the horror genre which works surprisingly well with a longer run. MTV (yes I know) created a series based off Scream. And you had multiple hours to get to know the characters so you feel more loss when the bodies start dropping.

Just as long as it does turn you into one of the Impossibles.

Living with the pain of normal air causing your skin to combust. Being a giant walking scab. Or unconsciously having your skin turn transparent.

And then the professor he came out worse of all, oh wait no he was already a major jerk.
