Weasel Hills Golf & C.C. (hole 19)

@wildweasel

not actually a toaster

Unemployed 30-something slinger of too many words. Would happily invite people into my own little worlds if only anybody asked. I own an unwise amount of golf simulators (approaching four shelves now!) and otherwise tinker with retro computers and assorted video game nonsense.

this had such intense "Grunge Slang Hoax" energy that i had to go dig up the magazine and verify it wasn't photoshopped. it's not, but it is a quote from a book, Defending the Galaxy The Complete Handbook of Vldeogamlng (1982) one of the many "videogame exploitation" (to coin a phrase) books that came out around that time.

i am busy doing other things right now so i am not going to read this book at the moment but my guess is that it's jam packed with absolute fabrications. this spread feels like it says a lot

"videogame exploitation books"
oh boy that is exactly the right term

there are far too many things that fall in that category, and what makes it special as a category is how often people don't realize it even exists. oh to be so ignorant that you could end up enjoying a thing that is making fun you
