       Consoles can be pretty neat as effectively standardized general computers with a loadout optimized for a specific gaming experience.The depressingly large subset of them which have been shackled into only running programs that have been approved or certified by some random corporation (that may or may not have been involved in their making) is pretty cringe though.

       @anthonyg game romz srs bsnss huhWhat do you think of as console toolkits as domain specific languages for things video games often have? Does it map onto PC game libraries? How does it feel when rom hacking or how does one find out?@lispi314

       @screwtape @lispi314 I haven't done a ton of ROM hacking, but I really like the idea of doing it. Strangely, I do make some of my students do it for a lab assignment.

       @anthonyg that's what I was thinking of, then I was giving you a brief respite due to seasonal considerations.@lispi314 on the other hand, I think game tie-ins like Microsoft kinect, and I think playstation 2 graphics cards got basically discontinued when they started being harvested for non-game-customer use at universities.

       @anthonyg @lispi314 we could also just modify #'sb-ext:save-lisp-and-die images by hand and it would feel very like we were rom hacking, wouldn't it?
