You did forget to add the comic at the and the redirect for the title was missing. If I've missed something, then please let me know. This is my first time contributing to the site and my first time posting a comic up. signal lostĪdd a comment! ⋅ add a topic (use sparingly)! ⋅ refresh comments! Discussion Transcript I've been staring at the screen every night for twenty years, and it finally happened. However, the Flying Toaster screensaver and the NES Zapper are two separate things that were never meant to be used together, so the flying toasters will never react to being 'shot' at by the NES Zapper. In the title text, Randall states that he is trying to use the NES Zapper to shoot down flying toasters. ' Flying Toasters' is another old screensaver (in the After Dark package, made for computers but not for the NES). The user would point the Zapper at the connected television screen while playing Duck Hunt, and the NES would recognize whether or not the zapper was pointed at an appropriate target or not. The 'Duck Hunt gun' is a reference to the NES Zapper used with the Nintendo Entertainment System game Duck Hunt, originally published in 1984. The 'signal lost' error message appears because the source of the signal is no longer transmitting, since it was destroyed when colliding with said star. This comic extends it to the situation where the observer actually collides with one of these stars, something that never happens with screensavers of this type. Some of the 'stars' appear to pass closer to the viewing point than others, resulting in movements of visually greater speeds, and more excitement one can also fixate the center of the screen, hoping to see the appearance of a star as close as possible to it, which would later on pass very close to the viewpoint. This illusion is generally created by drawing white dots on the computer screen, and then moving these dots outwards towards the edge of the screen before disappearing.

This comic features the 'Starfield' screensaver, a popular Windows screensaver of the 1990s, which presents a moving starfield, like what would be seen by an observer moving past stars at superluminal speeds (see a video example). Title text: I'm entering my 24th year of spending eight hours a day firing the Duck Hunt gun at the flying toasters.
