A newer video of the 'Crazy Meijer Lady' who can also be found online by searching for 'Crazy Michigan Lady' (to stand out amongst an entire state is quite exceptional.)

A company is producing physical games for the Gameboy Color (and other systems, mostly old PCs like Amiga and Spectrum, etc,) and selling them online. It's reminiscent of the unofficial games that came out for the NES ( https://nintendo.fandom.com/wiki/List_o ... nsed_games ) which sometimes had some surprisingly decent ones (though the vast majority were not; however, on the list is R.B.I. baseball and it was licensed by Nintendo, whereas prior games by the company Tengen were not.)

[HighlyIrregular II]

Someone in 2014 noticed us (Ptah's us). Anyone know who the parties to the quoted conversation were?

Those of us who have been around the film world for a long time take analogue cameras pretty much for granted but we should never underestimate the learning curve involved for someone unfamiliar with real photography. Witness this exchange I stumbled across on an obscure forum devoted to people with INTPComplex - a personality identified by one of the following: introversion, intuition, thinking, perception. Many people with this complex are very clever and yet… (my bold)

Guy A: I'm interested in buying my own camera so I don't have to keep renting from the school, but I'm not sure what's most suitable for my purposes and don't know where to start, so I'll have a talk with the instructor and maybe the local camera repair guy to check out used cameras.

This is all before my time and is a good subject to talk about with older people. Apparently film photography is really out of vogue now except among hobbyists (and this is not cheap), students, pro photographers and some "serious" artists.

What's your experience with film photography (shooting/processing/printing/retouching)? If you know anything about this, what cameras should I look into buying (used)?

Guy B: I wouldn't get one with a crank, you know, where you have to wind the film after every shot you take. They're obviously a pain in the neck. – If you like the camera you've borrowed from your school, maybe get the same model?

Guy A: I can't tell with the school cameras (vivitar V3800N) 'cause with some I've used I've had problems with the crank; the film not advancing (heh). Maybe they've been abused by some students, but they seem like decent machines and I'm not having significant problems learning with them.

Without the crank, how do you know the film is advancing? This might be a stupid beginner's question, but what film cameras are out there that don't have the crank?

Guy B: After the crank, analog cameras used to have tiny motors to make the film advance automatically. They were a lot easier to handle, particularly when taking a lot of successive shots (naturally). They also rolled up the film automatically once it was full, thereby reducing any chance of accidentally overexposing the film when opening the camera. – I'm afraid I can't recommend any particular model, though, since it's been quite long that I've used one of those.

I found that quite illuminating and a reminder that an OM1 might not always be the best choice for beginners.
