2600 Lives on in the fediverse

With all things in history there is usually a person of power whom abuses that power. In this case the CEO of reddit has taken a dump on its user base, and yes that is mildly an option but one shared by the over 38% of subreddits out there still dark at this time of writing.

This blackout while decisive and impactful. It was not a success and seeing the voting records on [/r/2600/(https://www.reddit.com/r/2600/comments/14an6wx/user_poll_go_federated_stay_dark_or_open_up/) to open back up] shows how decisive this issue is overall.

The numbers do not lie but it is quite clear there is bias behind the data. However because I am not a dictator only a supporter of 2600 Enterprises and the community of hackers here. One does recognize there is a desire to hold a presence within the Fediverse and open up the subreddit. With that we have our community here at lemmy.world/2600 and are looking into ways to mirror the r/2600 content via a bot and do encourage or members to use their favorite lemmy instance, matrix.io bridge, or fediverse client to continue the community have built up over the years over here as well. Secure in the knowledge that your voice is heard, the community is advert free, and you are respected as an individual.

Welcome to the Fediverse, Hackers!

Anyone get the Pac-Man 2600? I was disappointed.

Maybe I expected too much, but I wanted a 2600 I could plug cartridges into which used HDMI. I like Pac-Man, so this one seemed like what I wanted. But, first cartridge I put in was Adventures of Tron.

It took like 30s or a minute to start up, so it clearly wasn't the normal Atari experience. Then it started on a very high difficulty level and I couldn't change it.

Makes me wonder what the point of it is if it's this bad. Maybe there are HDMI mods for a real Atari I should do instead.

Finding info about local meetings

Not sure if this is the place to ask, I recently moved to OKC for an internship and was looking into the local 2600 meetings, since I finally live in a city that has them. I found where they meet in the latest issue, but that's about all I know. I don't know any times or days or anything. I've tried looking around on the web, but also haven't found much. Does anyone know how I could go about finding any of that info out?
