I love the concept, but am struggling to understand the rules. I'm cofounding a startup and expect to learn and operate this stuff for a while, so I'll definitely check in every so often!
In July 2001 I quit my tech job of 8 years so I could take some time to de-stress and work on projects thinking I could just jump back into a job 6 months later. Of course, that timing was really bad. Since there weren't any tech jobs available, in the Fall of 2002 I decided to go back to school and get a masters. We had a few months in 2003 where I made just enough money to get by by going to the Goodwill outlet store and buying books that could be sold online for a profit - Goodwill got wise to that arbitrage and started their own online store which kind of put an end to that. Had a few contract jobs in there that lasted anywhere from 4 to 6 months, even had a summer internship (at age 40! That interview was interesting), but it wasn't until 2006 that I found something permanent again. Fortunately we had paid off our house back in 1999 otherwise it would've been even scarier.
There's a secret treasure hunt spread across all 50 games, too! Here's a hint to get you started. On the main menu, pause and open the in-game terminal. Enter the string `GREG-MILK`. The console's output will give you a hint of which game has the next clue.
I'm working on a screen reader/narration service for retro games, called groan. https://github.com/JesseTG/groan It's still in development, but I intend to post more about it once I fix some related bugs in RetroArch.
What got my attention was the novelty of receiving a message like this through a third-party platform (not counting social media). I get plenty of actual "Nigerian prince"-type spam.
