these kinds of posts drain my hp so i’ll be brief BUT 🙄 the dramatic differences btwn touch&sketch, romanticism, and losing game while still being such a logical and on brand evolution. not every self producing soloist can have this range like this is professional!!! this is some real shit!!!!!!! the talent, the taste, the power of RESPECTFUL rnb influence. oh and being a singer. 👨🏾‍🦲 i never use the t word (trust) when it comes to music anymore but. i can trust leo to not only surprise me but exceed expectations like i didn’t think there could be a song i liked as much as touch and sketch nd then he dropped just that then i thought there could be a song i liked as much as romanticism and then he dropped just that

A Near-Full Tier List Of 70s Atari 2600 Games

With only a couple games left to go and me needing to 'git gud' in one of them, it's only logical that it's time to wrap things up with a good old fashioned tier list!

Note: Some of my opinions have changed over time, so if some of the ordering doesn't make sense to you if you've read earlier reviews, that's why.

Football, Slot Racers and Superman will be added to the list if I can either find a second player (first 2) or a cartridge of the game (last one).

We got 28 games to go over here. F tier to A tier in that order. No S cuz there's zero games that really fit that bill. Let's rock.

F Tier

#28 Space War (11/40)

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Who thought porting a game from 1962 was a good idea on a console that already had surperior alternatives of the genre? The singleplayer was the worst gaming experience i've ever had. It's not even in space, dangit! Disastrous release.

#27 Slot Machine (11/40)

The title doesn't lie, this sure is a slot machine. And that is all it is. How does one manage to have less value than Basic Math, I wonder? Should've given more memory to Casino, Atari...

#26 Hunt & Score (10/40)

Awful controls, lacking visuals, horrendous noises and it's much, much, much cheaper to buy a copy of a real memory match game anyway. The (second) worst of the worst, even amongst several weak 1978 releases that held no value as soon as better games came out.

#25 Miniature Golf (11/40)

What am I even looking at? You move a square and that determines the angle of another square bouncing around, which is as tedious as it sounds. Squares squares square. Ourgh, I hate it. If only it had more holes so I could hate it even more.

D Tier

#24 Basic Math (12/40)

Woof, okay. As a random math problem generator with funny sound effects, it... functions. That's all I can say about it. It's a blank screen if you remove the numbers. This is my lowest of the low bars for what is somewhat passable in some regards and what isn't.

#23 Hangman (14/40)

Impressive selection of words due to being the first game with expanded memory. Now why you would spend your bucks on this when a piece of paper is something almost everyone has, I wouldn't know. Nobody wants to play Hangman alone.

#22 Street Racer (18/40)

Even more boring than Indy 500. Every mode plays the same as each other with very mild changes. Number Munchers is as good as it gets, and that's only because it's over sooner.

#21 Code Breaker (14/40)

Graphically almost as bad as flippin' Basic Math, made worse by how confusingly it plays it's cards and the fact that half the screen estate ain't being used while playing Nim. Below all the rubbish, Nim managed to curve out a tiny place in my heart due to it's alright AI.

#20 Flag Capture (16/40)

Better than Code Breaker due to being a more justified release. Otherwise, forgettable. So much so, that i'm out of things to say.

#19 Home Run (16/40)

A kinda ass way to play baseball, however props must be given for hardly having a point of reference at this point. It completely trumps the RCA Studio II version and it seems to be fairly close to the version by Epoch in Japan. Major positive is that it's a lot faster than it's contemperaries.

C Tier

#18 Outlaw (20/40)

Based on a revolutionary arcade title with a proper microprocessor. I find this one very dull. At least it has some minor things going for it like being able to deconstruct the obstacles in your way. Well done Outlaw, you did the bare minimum.

#17 Indy 500 (21/40)

Extremely mid racing. Single players are gonna be done with it in 3 seconds flat as the time trialing is not fun at all. Multiplayer is oooooookay. Decent engine noises for the time.

#16 Brain Games (18/20)

Errrrhhh, I may have been slightly too harsh earlier. Visually it's kinda gross, however you could argue that the collection of brain teasers here ain't too awful. I had a modicrum of fun with some of 'em.

#15 Star Ship (22/40)

The most striking game of the launch lineup for attempting first person well before a game could do it for realsies. I can appreciate it as an art form, as a game though? I'm good.

#14 Sky Diver (21/40)

At least it doesn't fuckin' squeal at ya at all times like in the arcade. However, unlike that version, it's pretty much multiplayer-only and the thrill of seeking a high score got almost completely butchered as a result. Satisfactory port, nothing more.

#13 Human Cannonball (20/40)

Has some personality in the form of the guy you shoot out of the cannon, and I found myself somewhat immersed by the smart way the game's visuals came to be. Otherwise, dull as dishwater.

#12 Basketball (21/40)

The first proper attempt at a realistic ball sports title. It tries a 3D perspective and for competitive play, I can see a decent time being had here. The repetition and lack of modes very much hurt it unfortunately.

#11 Blackjack (23/40)

An entirely functional and sorta addicting take on the card game of old. Gets completely trounced by Casino which is essentially an enhanced version of this.

#10 Bowling (24/40)

Falls under the same kinda umbrella as Basketball. Don't mind this one. It has good visuals (a multicolor sprite!) and a goofy dance when you clear all the pins. Kinda wears thin once you know where to stand however.

#9 Video Chess (23/40)

The best AI of the console put into a cart that could barely handle it. Sluggish movement, long loading times and hard-to-discern visuals make it a hard sell now. However, back THEN, this fuckin' kicked ass for the common man. It gets a formal handshake from me.

B Tier

#8 Air Sea Battle (28/40)

A fine introduction to the Atari 2600's library. I think it's sorta boring and the AI is hardly a contest, but the multiplayer is still enjoyable enough and it's audiovisually one of the better launch games.

#7 Casino (22/40)

How I gave this a lower score than Blackjack, I have no idea. You can play the same exact game again here with improved visuals, or dive into a couple variaties of poker, of which I actually really like Poker Solitaire. Good package!

#6 Backgammon (27/40)

Graphically one of the most impressive games on 2600 so far. Gameplay-wise, yeah it's Backgammon and Acey Deucy alright. This game thought me the ropes and i'm thankful for it. I would almost call this a worthy substitute for buying the real thing. Almost.

#5 Canyon Bomber (26/40)

Very solid ports of two middling arcade games, Canyon Bomber and Destroyer. It only made sense as they were essentially two peas in a pod from the getgo. Tired of Air-Sea Battle and in the need of something you can also play competently alone? This one's for you.

#4 Breakout (25/40)

I WILL get back to this one. I promise. The Atari 2600+ is coming in in 2 weeks and will allow me to play it with an actual paddle controller for the first time. Playing with a controller does not do it justice. It's Pong for the score hunters. 8 modes with 4 variations each is only rivalled by those coming up ahead on the list.

A Tier

#3 Surround (27/40)

Doesn't have the quirky ASMRy noises from arcade Dominos, otherwise this is an extremely solid competitive pre-Snake Snakelike. Very replayable because it allows you to doodle around freely, too.

#2 Combat (31/40)

The quintessential pack-in for the 2600 in it's early years. I don't like that it lacks a singleplayer mode completely- the multiplayer is still a hoot on occasion though. Even contains some funny glitches if you're into that sorta thing.

#1 Video Olympics (33/40)

Pong remains a classic that's still good for the occasional bout. This is that, but with a TON of other modes to invite a pal over for. The single player is destined to play one mode, however the AI is competent enough to keep that fresh for a little bit too. Easily the definitive way to play gaming's granddaddy.

Soon, Video Olympics shall be rivalled or even dethroned. The 2600's hayday is about to kick into high gear. And with that, I mean a couple weeks as I wait for my new old console to arrive in the mail. See ya then, you goofy video game crash instigator.

Help plz...

I just saw this post and I'm so confused and grossed out...

https://www.tumblr.com/cocamalfeta/725375265522548736/noel-and-liam-gallagher-from-oasis-august-1996?source=share

I am so sorry you have to see this lol but I'm just so confused omg. So are they saying that because these two other guys who are brothers can make out on stage Jikook can too and still be "brothers"??? I mean if you look at the blog's other posts it's mostly reblogs of Jikook stuff so I think the blog is pro-jikook... so does that mean they're comparing the Jikook rosebowl moment to two brothers kissing and think that's okay??? I'm so confused and disturbed tbh 😣

Ew. Ew. Ew. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

No... just no. EWWWWWWW!!!! At first I was confused by why u were upset but I sent it to some friends and they explained that the two guys kissing are ACTUAL brothers????? Ew. No. Fuck... ugh 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Why why why why would someone compare two blood brothers kissing to rosebowl??? First of all.... Jikook are NOT RELATED in any way so IT'S NOT THE FUCKING SAME.

Which again... disgusting! Ew!

Then 2nd and most importantly this is some weird math for a Jikooker to do. Are you supporting Jikook or not? Antis spend all fucking day calling them brothers and how they can't be together because they are brothers. Which again, THEY ARE NOT?????

And if you think Jikook compare to this 2 its just so wrong and disgusting in all levels. All of them. All the levels. I... literally cannot rn. Excuse me while I go vomit coz ugh.... what tf is this??? Why??? How to unsee???

@lajikookbolala u owe an eye cleanse. Send me something good to erase this from my brain 😭😭😭😭😭

[bookwyrminspiration]

Hey do you remember that weird Alicorn s3x scene in book 4? What even was that bro

I do remember it Nonsie. Page 460 of Neverseen (at least in the paperback edition). For anyone who doesn't remember, please allow me to refresh your memory:

More memories flooded Sophie's head of Silveny's life at the Sanctuary--everything clean and comfortable and cared for. Plenty of food. Plenty to do. Flying with Greyfell. Chasing Greyfell. Playing with Greyfell. Wait--that wasn't playing…. "Gah!" Sophie said, shoving the last image out of her mind. TMI, SIlveny. Too. Much. Information! She knew it was supposed to be a natural, beautiful thing. But ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

Can't believe sex is canon in the kotlcverse. And the next day when she broke the news to her friends and grumbled about how "She showed me..." they all knew what she was talking about and the phrase alicorn baby-making was mentioned. It is canon that the kotlcrew know about sex.

Which is like...you know what? You're right! Kids that age generally do know about sex and babymaking. I know I did. I know my sister does. That's also probably how all conversations about sex went outside of educational classes where some would be more professional, so Shannon really got the mood of the conversation right.

It's just also very...surprising? You don't expect that kind of thing to be brought up in a series about a human-raised elf girl trying to defeat an arson-loving evil rebel organization. Especially with the age range. My guess here is that it's mentioned vaguely enough that she can get away with it for the amusement of older readers who have the same reaction or those that understand while it flies over the youngest readers' heads. And also it's tame enough that it doesn't cause publishing problems. I mean all it really says is "that's not playing" and "it's natural and beautiful but also eww" and "babymaking."

It does also seem to be a little bit of a trend that everything surrounding babies and having them is more mentioned. We know about Emma Foster's fertility issues and her miscarriages, we know about Trolls giving birth at a really early stage and how they're put in hives, we know elves' belly buttons turn pink and pop out when they get pregnant and that they feel no pain at birth, and we've got all the alicorn pregnancy things that even has a whole birth scene. It just seems to be a part of the worldbuilding that Shannon doesn't skip over where other authors might! Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, I think it's just off-putting for all of us who are so used to those kinds of things being skipped over and danced around.

Because Sophie was right! Sex is natural and can be beautiful and it is how you make babies. And kids the kotlcrew's age know that--I don't know about you, but it was around age 9 that my schools really started teaching sex ed, so I'm betting even a lot of the youngest audiences for kotlc have some knowledge on the subject. Not true for everyone, but true for some. It's not taboo and it shouldn't be demonized because sex ed and the normalization is a good thing!

However it can still be off-putting or uncomfortable, and that's okay. No one is required to be comfortable with the topic. Some people are going to be weirder out and skip over that conversation because as natural as sex is, not everyone likes talking about it.

I suppose my conclusion from all of this is, you're right it is kinda weird! The very clearly implied references to sex is unusual in a series like this and off-putting to a lot of people. But it's also a normal topic that people are aware of and sex isn't this inherently evil thing, so I don't think it's bad and needs to be removed. It's different than what we've all grown to expect, but it's also brief enough that discomfort is quickly moved past while still making the topic normal, you know?
