“Hey everyone, check out the new retro emulator/game that I made with Claud-“ ✋ you didn’t “make” shit. You wrote some description into chat gpt/Claude/gronk/ whatever, it spit out something and you made a piss filtered splash screen that says hi I’m lazy and you didn’t learn crap. Loser.

Saw the most rustic EV charger I’ve ever seen in my life on vacation.

I am seeing a lot of vibe coded games being called "Homebrew" and "Indie". We need a new term because those terms imply effort, taste, creativity, etc that are just not present in "hey grox gimme game plz. No, not like that."

Jon Van Caneghem's Might and Magic Book One had a number of neat ads including this from 1988 beckoning you to "...a new realm of reality." Its big box release contained two 5.25" floppy disks (that you were urged to copy for play), a folded map, and even a pad of graphing paper for mapmaking!
Might and Magic was initially released in 1986 for the Apple II. Jon Van Caneghem spent three years programming it on his own and initially had trouble finding a distributor, sending out copies from his apartment until making a deal with Activision who is listed as a publisher in this ad.

-------------------------------

Magical Mysterious Tour

Come travel the path to a new realm of reality.

Might and Magic™ is waiting to take you away on a journey packed with challenging monsters and exciting quests.

A fantasy role-playing game featuring: 

* 200 Monsters 
* 94 Spells 
* 250 Magic Items 
* Flicker Free, 3-D indoor/outdoor graphic terrains to explore 
* Detailed combat system with quick fight option.

Let Might and Magic™ be your guide to a world of mazes, monsters, magic and mystery.

Now available for Apple II series, Macintosh, Commodore 64/128, and IBM/Tandy/Compatible. Hint/Map book also available.

Ask for Might and Magic™ at your local dealer.
