For my son(6), I have an adblock, and an extension that limits his time at websites I identify. He’s limited to 1 hour of Youtube a day. I haven’t seen much need for anything else. He doesn’t visit many different websites though, and my desk is right next to his, so it’s pretty easy to monitor his usage.

My local Target had 3, all grey. My local Best Buy had 3, one color, two grey. Haven’t stopped by any of the Walmarts, but I’m assuming they also have them in stock. Maybe come november they will become scarce once holiday shopping winds up.

When my son reaches an age when his homework is too hard for me. I’m gonna hit the books with him and figure it out. I would hope it sets a good example for him.

This is troubling... As a rule, I mindlessly purchase every single product CAH sells, but a lot of the cards are duplicates (150 out of 600 cards are new), so I have to go through the entire pack and eliminate the 450 duplicates...

The irony of a comment 4 years ago... I’m on 7mb DSL now...

I think that the author is missing the big picture. If you use a spoon, you’ll end up with more dirty dishes. You gonna use a spoon to get pickles outta a jar?

It is important to point out that adding WATER makes it taste better.

You are talking about displaying, not rendering. Also, the assumption that rendering would take place in real time.

The thing is, if you are actually using the imaging chip, and displaying a series of sprites on the screen in a way that makes it look like a 3d animated image, you can definitely display a higher quality image than the one presented.

No, the important part is the CPU. The image processor has nothing to do with rendering a 3d image. It is physically incapable of doing it. It is only capable of rendering flat sprites onto a screen. If it was doing that, it wouldn’t be rendering anything, it would just be animating a pre-rendered image.

if what you say is true then there is no 3d image being rendered. There is just an image being animated by displaying the correct sprites at the right time. The image would have been pre-rendered. If this were true, the Nintendo could still do better than that, as it can handle more sprites concurrently than what…

correct. That would make optimization a bit harder, cuz, it would take 3 bits to express a pixel. But, at that point, why not add another color? Mapping pixels to memory would also be pretty unpopular.

Ultimately, the only thing holding it back would be the amount of memory necessary to hold a frame of the render. The CPU is more than capable of doing the math necessary for 3d rendering. The system only has 2k of memory, but the reduced palette (4 colors) would stretch that, getting 4px per byte. A 64x64 frame would…

I had a 2c. The original Apple ][ was capable of high res color (280×192, 8 colors). But, we aren’t talking about rendering and displaying. We are just talking about rendering. Spitting out a series of sprites in a way to look like an animated 3d image isn’t rendering a 3d image.

Using the CPU and RAM alone, a Nintendo should have been able to render a better 3d model than that. The Image processing chip would be incapable of rendering 3d images. It would only be able to feed pre-rendered tiles to the screen.

Every single one of our inbound and outbound support calls are recorded. This includes the support staff bitching about the phone ringing and nobody picking up. The customer bitching while they are on hold while being transferred. Everything.

A NES could render much better than that.

I have a pretty decent collection of cheapo Kiwi knives. I used a pull through sharpener for a long time because it was better than nothing. I lost it and had to go back to the stone. My knives are much sharper and stay sharper longer.
