I always had a weird thing for the old consoles we use to produce as a species.
The Cassette Vision was one I never used but always wanted to play around with.

The Fairchild Channel F, F for Fun^[2], is a home video game console released by Fairchild Semiconductor in November 1976 across North America^[3] at the retail price of $169.95. It was also released in Japan in October the following year. It has the distinction of being the first programmable ROM cartridge–based video game console, and the first console to use a microprocessor. It was originally named Video Entertainment System, or VES, but when Atari released its VCS the next year, Fairchild changed the name for its machine, although they continued to use the old name alongside it. By 1977, the Fairchild Channel F had sold 250,000 units, trailing behind sales of the VCS.^[1]

The Channel F System was my first video game system. Fun times with very little bits and colors. Vroom vroom.

Bots are threatening EVE Online’s economy and players are fed up | PC Gamer

War is the lifeblood of EVE Online. It’s the catalyst that creates dramatic, human stories of betrayal and heroism. But, right now, developer CCP Games is fighting a war of its own to preserve the integrity of EVE’s dynamic, player-driven economy—and the EVE community is terrified that this is one war CCP is losing.Unlike the battles EVE’s players fight, this isn’t a conflict against another rival group of pilots, but a rising epidemic of ‘botters’ using third-party programs to automate EVE’s most tedious and reliable ways of earning ISK, EVE’s in-game currency. It’s been an irritation among the community for over a decade, but a recent revelation by one group of players has brought the issue into the spotlight.
