#Atari has died and been reborn around a dozen times. Yes, the company as it currently exists isn't the same as when Pong came out. Neither was it the same company as when Warner Brothers piecemeal sold it in the 1980s to Jack Tramiel, Mitsubishi, etc. Nor the same company when it was a Naamco sub-brand. Nor when Hasbro owned it.
Sure, Atari today isn't the same as it was in the 1970s, but the same is largely also true for Activision, SEGA, Rare, Square, etc.
Al has been hitting a creative slump with her drawing. I've got this X-Pro3 that I've never been able to part with. We talked through her ideal "creative kickstart" setup:

Max shadow/highlight tone
low sharp
low NR
manual focus mode (we'll get to that)
... and put the Funleader 18mm/f8, fixed focus pancake on it.
