ok i tried it with my raspberry pi 1 on a circa 2001 28" panasonic crt telly.

i made a mistake and used raspbian without X, so i couldn't actually make inputs to the game. but it wouldn't have mattered, because the update rate while it played the demo was slow as shit, about 3 fps like the person on github got on their modern tv. i forgot to actually check if the pi's cpu was maxed out or not, but i suspect it's a limitation of the teletext decoding circuitry, which is probably the exact same as used on modern tvs. unfortunately i have no other tvs to test with, so that's gonna be that.

such a defeatist attitude. do, or do not—there is no 'try'.

you may joke, but you'll just be peeling back the layers to reveal more horror

It was actually a google doc, but essentially the same problems had they used excel. Like merging cells across rows so I can't reorder the rows without getting blank cells.

In fact being on google docs made it worse, because they kept changing the list while i was trying to keep track of things on it

british people don't actually look at pictures of the queen. this is a common misconception. they actually spend 24 consecutive hours looking at photos of meghan markle, then log on to twitter to yell at people about how she somehow brought disgrace to prince andrew's family.
