I just take it like this.

In the moring I do the hardest thing on my list of things to do as I am more able to think clear, in the afternoon I do less important things as my mind is not working at maximinum level

For me this is usually something like code in the morning and art/planning/everything else other then code in the afternoon.

If I need to code in the afternoon then I try to just do visual adjusments and not tackle major new functions, it also gives me rest to look over what ive made the day before and work out how to improve.

At night I try to completly turn off all devices and read or manually draw to get time away from the screen.

This does not always work but I seam to get more done in a week this way and it is just my own personal approach something different might work for you

Re:The Magnavox Odyssey 2 all the games I know of on Tuesday December 17, 2024 @04:10AM (#42439706)
I have compiled a list of all the Magnavox Odyssey 2 games I know about. I also classed the Europe games as Magnavox Odyssey 2 games as the same machine released in Europe but with a different name called Philips Videopac+ they have a few different titles but check it out and let me know what you think.

This is a passion project the whole of voxodyssey.com is I just do it cause I love games and gaming

Re:Interton Video Computer 4000 full game list on Sunday June 04, 2023 @03:02PM (#36188447)
Had fun working on this list around 40 games that I could find seams it was first made in Germany has no idea this console even existed my next one is the Magnavox odyssey 2.
Ha I actually kind of like this design its a bit different but works, I think the only thing that I might say is the reading length is a bit long maybe limiting to a set width in terms of length as its difficult on large screens to read across the full page but other then this not bad.

Have you tried that thing Bionic Reading it could be interesting for people to just digest the text further and quicker if that is the end goal but anyway its interesting I really do like it to be honest

Re:All the Games on the APF Microcomputer System on Friday April 14, 2023 @04:53AM (#35567121)
Its an interesting model I have not heard of this one before and the games though basic do build into the history of video games. I am thinking to start looking into computer games also and not just home entertainment machines but time will tell
Re:Discussion: I have an idea how can we recycle old tec? on Monday November 15, 2021 @12:15AM (#29223975)
I actually think I have it worked out how to recycle older games and legally sell them, it would be to collectors to start, this would be the base to start moving into recycling.

I don't mind if others try or take this idea but it would work, you can't legally sell the ROMs. You can sell second hand copies of old games you own. I believe you are allowed the ROMs legally only if you own the game so you bundle it up ROMs and physical copy of old game.

How can you ensure that the user won't share the ROM with others.... That part Ive worked out as well. I just can't do everything on my own it's to much with all my other projects as well.

Re:Discussion: I have an idea how can we recycle old tec? on Friday November 12, 2021 @01:58PM (#29203172)
Come on man I'm alone at the moment I struggle to brush my teeth in the morning let alone solder mother boards. However I've been investigating further, televisions and cd players seam to be quite easily acquired, maybe its more about approaching it from an angle that just gets some traction, the technology of a parts based system kind of exists but would need streaming like Netflix's and just supply the Hardwear to achieve this with parts that could be replaced.

Gaming consoles would be just proof of concept, and it would start to not recycle old computers but repurpose them with emulators to play old games at first. The expand from here. Big wheels turn slowly

Re:Discussion: I have an idea how can we recycle old tec? on Thursday November 11, 2021 @05:23PM (#29194032)
the end result would be to run the tec as modern as possible but creating it by recycling old tec, eventually that would be to totally melt down and rebuild, the numbers are already there in the number of sales that each house hould makes for electronic devices, also the amount of tec in landfulls

Here is an artice https://time.com/5594380/world-electronic-waste-problem/

Here is another article https://www.popsci.com/recycle-tech-e-waste-centers/

These devices are not made to last long perionds of time, Like for example you can see this light bulb here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centennial_Light#:~:text=The%2....

Its been going for a long time and I truly believe we can make a tec stack that can in fact lead to less waste as you are clearnly saying with the Raspberry Pi watt usage. We should be upgrading old tec to use these more effective stacks with out needing to replace the entire systems. That should be the end game, to get there I do not know and I do need to start to look into more. I expect to fail and learn and fail and learn.

Look I do not know all the Hardware logistics I do know that it should be possible to upgrade your phone with out needing to buy a full new phone and you should be able to just pay for the parts to do this, at the moment you can not do that well you can but its totally cheaper to just buy a whole new phone and this should not be the case. So again the numbers for this do not exist as the idea does not really exist on scale that will impact the environment by making a more sustaiable resouce out of tec.

I do not have all the logistics I do not beleive I will get everything right first attempt but I know that I can learn and fail and build along the way to make an end product actually really really really impactful. I know its possible I just can not work it all out in my head and alone its very difficult to achieve this. But the hard things in life are the ones we should go after other wise what is the point in this life?

As for working with 30 or 40 developers in a team....easy as, this is a good problem to face but just work with them how you would work with any one just do it on a larger scale. I do not need to be telling 40 people what to do, All that would need to happen is these people are imspired to find answer to questions and things where there is no answer for. Simple as that. It would work I know it would and everyone would need to get stuck in and solve very difficult things. All will need to have an input to achieve something amazing. Its possible I know it is

You could come at this from a save the earth perspective though it's actually kind of possible if you establish your recycling depos in their respective countries. The arcade machine part does not scale that is more to get a proof of concept off the ground you then expand into a limited product line, arcade for gaming, computers for gaming I guess and business, cell phones, you could do audio and other tec but you make a solid product that last a long long time and only requires you replace parts of the system which is where you could make money. Think about if there is heaps and heaps of tec that gets dumped into land full as waste you are taking that waste and using parts to make a renew able tec line that does not break down. The reason why it's not done now is that people want to make money so maybe you rent this or something but it will and would work. It could majorly cut down on consumption the game aspect is just to prove it works.

Maybe it costs more but I'm not sure in the long run it will, if it can be brought down to just upgrading parts of a system it will be cheaper to maintain. Also governments are starting to look for the green alternative so it could in fact offset costs. It's a big idea I don't even know where or how to start but I know that on the current state of things it would take hold.
Re:Discussion: I have an idea how can we recycle old tec? on Thursday November 11, 2021 @07:29AM (#29187185)
Yes and my thinking is to leverage this recycling old tec to reassign it one household one machine that only requires part replacement not full replacement and these parts are made from recycled hardware. Discarded Cellphones, computer, gaming consoles, all tec repurposed. Stopping waste a more effective renewable solution little to no waste
Re:Discussion: I have an idea how can we recycle old tec? on Thursday November 11, 2021 @05:53AM (#29186628)
I also need to learn a lot but I am willing to give this a real go as I beleive it can work I just need a good serious group to get into this.

Discussion: I have an idea how can we recycle old tec?

I want to talk about a potential idea to recycle old tec to help stop contributing to global warming its been ticking over in my head. Can we turn old machines into arcade devices and use the profits from this to buy up more and expand. I can not do this alone and need help as its a very big proejct.

You think I should take it off voxodyssey or just place a warning on it saying play at your own risk?
Yeah I was thinking its over hyped but how do they keep sucking people in to these things
The Sandbox is a virtual world where players can build, own, and monetize their gaming experiences on the Ethereum blockchain using $SAND, the main utility token of the platform.

you can read more here https://voxodyssey.com/the-sandbox

Or on the URL directly. I am really am not sure what I think about this I do not know enough about crypto and it seams all the buzz at the moment. I walk very carefully around this stuff do others?

Thanks I'll check these out
You actually saw that on tv good sir I am impressed. Encyclopaedias are probably the reason why I started making this website, I want to share something with the world and to list every game every made! It will take me a life time to achieve the PC games section when I get there that is intemidating and arcade machine..., I'm not even sure I can obtain this goal but I'll have fun trying.
It's nice to read all these comments about the first console. I'm so glad people have happy memories and are sharing them, it's exactly why I picked video games to be the centre focus point of the website.

The website voxodyssey is named after this console there is a story behind this if you are interested if not I leave you in peace friends
