It's actually funny, I know somebody who pioneered parallel processing between multiple processors. He has an honorary doctorate in Atari as strange as it sounds.
The story goes that a research lab was using a PDP-8 in order to monitor experiments on rats. Do not worry, this was a light association experiment where green light means they can get food and red means no food. No abuse. They were only able to monitor 8 experiments at once, which was a problem since they needed a larger sample size.
So in comes this guy, and with a simple Atari 800 computer. Ends up getting 192 experiments monitored at the same time. He managed to do it by getting the processor to communicate with the video chip and at every horizontal scan he could switch to a different experiment. And 192 was the horizontal resolution so 30 times a second he could scan all 192 experiments. It was a really creative way that he exploited the multiple chips and custom hardware of the Atari 800.
Even more funny was that an Atari 800 could be purchased at the time for $1,000. A PDP-8 was around $18,000.

I just watched goblin slayer crown....i would seriously be pissed if i went to the movie theater to watch this.
Literally 35% of the movie was just season 1 recap the rest felt like one super long episode. The end game boss was anticlimactic, the plot wasnt that deep there was literally nothing about this movie that deserved to be a movie. Maybe im missing something and its just a super long OVA but damn was this thing lame

That machine from teletubbies that gives pancakes should exist.
