4D Boxing was great, funny to hear that mentioned. Romero is a legend.

[@AWSGameTech]

It actually was pretty great for the time, and really playable! That was early on from Don Mattrick.

Imagine trying to be young John Romero in 2023. You go on Expo, enter someone's booth, turn off their game and play yours. - "What do you think you're doing!!!??? Security!!!! Securiiiityyyyy!!!"

​@puermortem4565 there's a heuristic to finding what is the modern equivalent of this. look at what the really nerdy guys are doing where mainstream media isn't looking (or even cares to look). there's a trend in tech that by the time it's mainstream enough for stuff like "mah diversity" to be a thing, the wave of individualistic innovation has long passed in that area

*He does **_not_** have Hyperthymesia.* There’s _plenty_ of evidence against that claim. He’s got a good memory, but Hyperthymesia is _far_ more pronounced than a good memory & I think it’s off-putting that he’s claiming to have a condition that’s only been diagnosed to ~60 people in the world. It’s just a way he can attempt appeals to authority fallacies.
