I tried out TikTok for a while. It ended up being a waste of time and phone space. Also the people I initially followed on there largely abandoned it too.

Nurse Witch Komugi cosplay at Katsucon.

Guess it's time to dust off the IRC skills.

Not only do i hope IRC will reclaim its throne as the king of chat, i bet it would also usher in a new golden age if piracy and that is badass af

"Bartender, bring me a tall glass of anemoia."

In the early/mid 1990s, a gigabyte of anime pictures was immense. (I got these at Katsucon 96.) Back then, getting something like this over dial-up would have taken weeks or months.

I can still remember being there.

2002. I could tell this was really just a fax machine, with primitive networking.

It would be safer to leave my driver's license in a truck stop restroom than give any of that information to Discord.

Of course the furnace starts acting up on one of the coldest weekends of winter. But I think I got this.

I now have Pugyuru on DVD.

Adobe is killing Animate! Oh no! It's a good thing I have this trial version of Adobe Master Collection CS4 that is totally legal to share to download that has absolutely nothing to do with this image, nor would typing in a certain number during install convert it into a full version, not at all.

I dug into this thing since it didn't work. The soldered-in batteries (from 1983) went flat long ago. The insulting part is, direct replacement 123A cells are readily available. I got new ones for the Vivitar, which still works.

It is 0F (-18C) outside. If you asked me to choose between this or sweating in 90F (32C) summer heat, I will dead-ass look you in the eye and pick the 90F without a second thought.

Way back in around 1999 to 2001, when the internet was a much newer thing, startups all over were trying to figure out how to make money from it. My employer at the time was making parts for those companies who thought they could get ahead in the new gold rush. That was cool, I was getting OT pay.

I have enough computers here that it only makes sense that some of them would have Linux.

I have at least 5 snow shovels at the ready for this weekend.

I got this a few years ago. 2x16GB of DDR4. The exact same set is still available, except now at $250, about 3x the price. Do not forget what the AI bullshit took from us, and do not forgive those responsible for it.

Looking at flights to Japan around M3 and I am tempted

I think about this masterpiece every now and then www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rksy...

>drools over Super Rajikon's site >adding another place to raid in my next trip to Japan >site works with Buyee Alrighty then, that works too.

JDM screwdrivers are a thing. Well, they're really JIS.

To the people buying giant Gundam kits at anime conventions: I see you and I respect you.

They made a live-action series for "Happy Kanako's Killer Life" and Nanahira sang the ending theme song for it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGGc...

I've been schooling the kids in the Yunyun Syndrome discord by dropping bangers like this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgfG...

who remembers corm

For anyone wondering why, those power strips aren't designed to handle the amps that something like a space heater needs. Put enough current through a wire and it starts to turn into a heating element itself.

AI is unironically like the demons from Frieren They fake emotions to gaslight people who don’t know any better into thinking that they’re just like humans…..and then they kill their kids (The latter actually happened and that’s why OpenAI getting sued) AI are monster that cant be reasoned with

I have a working VCR again! It works well enough; fast-forward and rewind are a bit weak. Now I can watch things like... "Legend of Lemnear" on tape.

This one would be working if not for a tiny broken plastic tab for that spring. I'll figure something out.

Parts for the next R/C build. Motor, speed controller, program card, radio, servo, and battery.

I think I'm going to get another R/C car soon.

Here's a grunty old beast of a VCR from 1984. The tuner is analog, and wires everywhere. I'm taking it apart to put some new belts in. There are also some idler tires but getting to those may require obtaining a tome of ancient wisdom.

Trying to breathe some life back into some old VCRs. Normal people would have just tossed something like this long ago.

Something to mugi-mugi about.

Enjoy the aesthetic of a VCR from the late 1980s loading and playing its first tape after a belt replacement.

This brat... 💢 💢 💢

Volks Fiore Primula's head + Sousai Shojo Teien body, with a 30MS figure for comparison.

All 1s on the odometer, on 11/11. Lucky get?

I went to check out Pommu over the weekend and it's just a maintenance notice page and I suspect that's all I'll ever see of that site.

I'm sure Lego released this as another Euro-spec truck but I know a Truck-kun when I see one.

I give credit to anime conventions for giving me the ability to handle being in large noisy crowds.

Vocaloid put a lot of wind in denpa's sails.
