    According to creator Toru Iwatani, the shape of Pac-Man is inspired by a pizza with a slice missing. The title 'Pakku-Man' was based on the sound word 'paku-paku', which is the sound of munching. (Montfort, Bogost: 'Racing the Beam')

    Got the score 73000. I finally tried a real Pac-man arcade cabinet at the Google GDC Party. However, the version I played seemed to be sped up a bit, I haven't quite figured out which version it was. Anyway, I was playing my best game ever, when my colleagues wanted to leave for another party and finally distracted me enough to ruin my game. And the other party sucked. :'( Still, I got a score > 73000, which is still great!

    Malu and I visited Bip Bip Bar, and I played a long game of Pac-Man on a machine set to 6 lives.

    I just ordered a MiSTer FPGA from misteraddons.com. I have never played around with an FPGA before, and the concept itself seems completely magical to me. The MiSTEr seems like an incredibly well-supported project with the most hardcore enthusiasts doing their best to make the ultimate emulation box. Apart from the Terasic DE10-Nano board with the Intel Cyclone V FPGA (150 $), I ordered 128MB SDRAM (60 $), a USB Hub (40 $), a cooling system (15 $), and a case (50 $), an 256 GB SD card (50 $), and a few other things for a total of 405 $. A new PS4 is 422 $, but never mind that.

    Due to COVID-19, my MiSTer has been stuck in Queens, New York for 40 days. Now it's finally gotten through the distribution center, and should be on its way here.

    Apparently, my MiSTer is now in Denmark, going through customs. I had almost lost hope at this point.

    *Finally* it's cleared by customs.

    I got it now! And it works!! However, I can't get Pac-Man to run at all. But the consoles work, and it's awesome.

    Got the score 17080 in MiSTer. All the arcade games work now. I have some troubles with sound on the Elgato, but apart from that everything seems to work.
