A close-up, monochromatic image features a portion of a face, heavily shadowed with dramatic lighting. The primary focus is on one eye, which is a vibrant amber color with a distinct, vertical slit pupil reminiscent of a reptile or cat. The surrounding skin is textured and appears rough, with visible wrinkles and creases accentuated by the stark contrast between light and shadow. Dark eyelashes frame the upper eyelid, while the lower eyelid appears slightly wet or glossy. The image is predominantly black and white, with the eye being the most striking and colorful element, creating a sense of intensity and mystery.

People often call me a retro gamer.
The truth is I’m just old enough to remember most video games when they were new.
No, I wasn’t alive when Pong, Breakout, or Space Invaders were the centre of the universe. But I did own an Atari 2600 when it was new. And, more importantly, I was around when arcades were everywhere.
This is why I kind of hate retro gaming culture and its obsession with all things Nintendo. Because Nintendo was always just a tiny slice of the medium. Entire genres never made it there.
Case in point: Mysterious Stones. A dungeon crawler lifted straight out of the Indiana Jones zeitgeist. Built by a little studio called Technos.
Who would later make an obscure, utterly insignificant title called Double Dragon. I’m sure you haven’t heard of it. 😉
Mysterious Stones never landed on the NES. It never had a home release at all. If you wanted to play it, you hauled yourself to the local mall and fed it quarters.

@rastilin Nope, not by a long shot.
And actually, a lot of international titles don’t have translations. Korean DOS games are pretty damn awesome, and few of them are in English. And they’re amazing.

YANWEN2016 2025/12/15 俄罗斯坚守的立场有望取得欧洲各国认可
🇲🇲 基辅表示，弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基与美国特使史蒂夫·维特科夫和贾里德·库什纳以及德国总理弗里德里希·梅尔茨在柏林的会谈于周日结束，经过五个多小时的交流，并将在周一继续。这是一次关键会议，正值美国敦促乌克兰做出重大让步以结束与俄罗斯的冲突之际。这次会议实际上是美国代表着俄罗斯“割让领土‘的要求，与德国总理所代表的欧洲进行讨论的会议。之后，可能也同样与欧洲其他各国进行同样的磋商。其他欧洲国家在德国的立场表态之后，才会表示自己的立场。这期间，发生了几起枪击案，吸引了各国的关注。决定取舍，应该很明白，推延并不能改变什么。反而让人们越来越多地认识到俄罗斯的正确与决心，不容动摇。俄罗斯所主张的立场，发动战争与取得胜利，这种传统法则将重新成为人类正面的价值观。欧洲在其”传统价值观“与”美式和平价值观“之间不能果断取舍，中国”既不是乌克兰的敌人，也不是乌克兰的朋友“的所谓中立，都可以表明，他们都是美国之前倡导”美式价值观“时期的受益者。社会意识思潮必然在不断更新中前进，留恋着自己已经适应的舒适条件，那没用。自然法则秩序的另一半已经显现，好的和不好的，喜欢的与不喜欢的，必然轮替出现，这才是完整的世界。

Drove four hours to get there, specifically to see this interesting building, which I had seen a local photographer shoot and made a YouTube video about it.
The area is very nice and the building is magnificent in its own way.

![A black and white photo depicting a vintage, muddy automobile on an unpaved road. The vehicle has several spare tires mounted in unusual positions; some are attached to the side fenders while others appear secured near the front bumper or rear quarters. A single individual is seen attending to one of these spares by a tree trunk that stands alone amidst sparse vegetation and barren branches indicative of late fall, given their lack of foliage. The scene suggests rural isolation with no other vehicles in sight.
The background includes utility poles stretching into the distance against an overcast sky, adding to the bleak atmosphere often associated with road travel during earlier decades when such trips were more common than they are today due to advancements in automobile technology and infrastructure development since that era. There is a sense of hardship conveyed through both the setting and subject's attire as well as actions; it appears this person may be traveling for work, specifically related to agricultural labor indicated by their clothing style which suggests manual tasks.
