bensweeneyonbass commented on blog entry How to change profile photo in datagod

Go to your profile while logged in. Hover cursor over bottom right corner of picture where it appears to have like a vignette/matte border with a curved edge. That little corner will turn a color. Click it and it'll let you delete the current one. THEN you can just click and add the new one.

Cancel culture is a myth fabricated to scare white middle-aged voters and give people yet another excuse they can point to make them feel better about being wrong. Aaaaanyway, you use the term detractors and it makes me wonder what you think people are trying to say here. I'm going to reiterat

Snowflake I mentioned earlier in response to you that I wasn't sure there was even a voltage tolerance definition but it would seem the primary chip tolerance is 5V � .25V As far as we know this was within range because when the resolution of the meter only goes to the tenth it's not fine enough

bensweeneyonbass commented on blog entry side effect of donkey drama in Snowflake

I would caution you on boiling down the DK issue to something like RNG Is Related To Sound or vice versa. It's really not that. Robbie swears voltage affects RNG. Ok. Some people think the sound is indicative of the proper operation of the machine and is a critical element in a performance video.

bensweeneyonbass commented on blog entry side effect of donkey drama in Snowflake

Frankly a non-sounding Odyssey2 whose factory parts failed is more original than one that has been since repaired. That being said I would abstain. Here's the beauty, though - if a lot of people abstain but several people accept and nobody rejects then you're probably fine to do it. So far I

I'm quoting Ken and I hope he doesn't hate me for it but it provides information and new information is valuable. This is from a post at DKF: "Tricky slippery slope here. Almost certainly the low voltage didnt positively effect his game, I'm sure stats will prove that out. When I asked about the

I'd like to think there is a different context around a game not having working sound and a video having clearly been uploaded without sound. Some effects are identical like we can't hear the game sounds. Some are not like Kelly didn't try to silence the video but Robbie clearly did. I truly believe

No matter what he expects, though, he's in a winning position. Martyr if rejected, Beater-Of-The-System if accepted. Ok I have nothing else to add

I believe Robbie thinks he is trying to slip something by us here and at DKF. As if to be cheeky or a troll or whatever. The thing is this - he's probably not slipping anything by. He makes a point to show the voltage then makes a point to omit the sound. The run is still very likely legitimate but

As for the sound not being present in general - I would abstain if anyone submitted without sound, especially if they already have submissions on the same machine that include sound (which is true in Robbie's case). The sound of a game is part of the operation of the game and thus provides evidence

bensweeneyonbass replied to a poll Arcade - Donkey Kong - Points [Hammer Allowed] - 1,272,800 - Robbie Lakeman in

It's less about checking what the voltage is (as you point out it's shown in the video) and more about how the game is operating at that particular voltage. 4.7V may be in "tolerance range" although I'm not sure such a range has been defined anywhere, but 5V is specified in the schematic. If 4.7V ma

I'll find some links if I can but I'm on my work PC so I can't look at FB. Anyway Robbie has openly discussed modifying the voltage to try to affect RNG. If someone messed with the voltage I bet the sound gets screwy. I don't know that. But amidst discussion of tampering with how the hardware runs,

You can sort accepted/rejected/in-process scores by views. If you look at the Accepted forum @Ulisses Patriota has the most recent thread on the first page (as you can imagine there are some threads from five years ago that have had more time to amass more views so they're not as relevant). This

No need to confirm settings via the menu as they can all be verified visually. 5 lives to start, bonus at 10k, and this is regular speed not turbo speed. Clearly played on an iCade 60-in-1. Great run!

Sigh ok I forgot. There's been some recent discussion about the value of a 2P score. Is score taken when both players are completely dead or is it taken when there ceases to be two players playing simultaneously? I'm not trying to lean either way, really, because I don't know much about how 2P score
