vcd chat reminded me of that dumb thing games did for a while where they only rendered alternate lines of their fmv. god it looked awful, and I say that as someone with a glossy monitor

I’m pretty sure I wasn’t playing games on an lcd display in 1996

mod saas posted:missed the “rotten” part of this story? the juice bags were shipped refrigerated but not frozen; part of the juicero guy's thing was that the juice had to be "living" or some such bullshit. that meant that they could only ship the juice packs within a certain distance from the juicero HQ (which was in California) so they couldn't be sold in the eastern US (where more than half the population lives). that was also the justification for the drm qr code which blocked you from using a bag past its expiration (and conveniently also blocked you from using third-party bags, or reusing bags), since it didn't have any kind of preservatives so it would expire in like a week or two even with refrigeration.

wow I get pretty hosed off when can’t use my own things but I think I’d get extra loving furious if I couldn’t even use their own bags just coz they were a day old

I think it had to be quite powerful to apply the load required across the entire face of the packet, if I remember correctly. I remember a tear down coming away quite surprised at the required level of engineering, given what they wanted to achieve

imagine if this kind of video game aesthetic had stuck and games like call of duty and battlefield played crazy plots with random scifi and hammy acting straight instead of whatever it is they're on about. such a beautiful world.
