New blog post! We enter the era of CD-ROM multimedia, which will usher in great prosperity and eternal peace for humankind. Also we fix a bad power supply. www.leadedsolder.com/2026/05/26/f... #fujitsu #retrocomputing #kicad

I guess this Monday will have to be a Modular DIY Kit Building Day. (I'm pretty sure I have more kits somewhere around here)

This is what your neighborhood will be like after your representatives sign that Flock contract. Get involved before it's too late.

Some of the best tips I've gotten on cleaning moldy floppy disks, and understanding which "junk" listings are actually worth my time have come from @krugman.net. My wallet appreciates the $ savings.

This is huge!

I choose to believe this is how most 90s arcade race tracks were initially conceived #gaming #retrogaming #arcade

I've been working on something

It's "PicoCAD2-sday"! Here's another retro machine, the imposing and legendary Sharp X68000 SUPER. #picocad2 #x68000

Happy Snatcher day! Today marks 37 years since Snatcher came out on the NEC PC-8801. Over the last year we've been able to preserve the full manga run of Snatcher within our scanning group. Enjoy the scans and an article by @segasky.bsky.social here - www.gamingalexandria.com/wp/2025/11/s...

Oh!X [オー／エックス] April, May, and June 1992 have been scanned in high quality and archived, please enjoy! archive.org/details/OhX-... archive.org/details/OhX-... archive.org/details/OhX-...

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA. Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

related to my last repost: my metric for how successful a console should be is entirely based on how cute the logo is. because of this, the best consoles are the 3DO, Apple Pippin and Casio Loopy

I accidentally glitched out an animation I was working on and created a perfect example of what the passage of time feels like to someone with ADHD

I may be sore, bruised, and without much of a voice, but VCFMW was a lot of fun. Met so many people and was able to talk about so many different Japanese systems that I think it was worth it. And surprisingly I did not walk away with another computer 😂

I forgot to post up my VCFMW table setup yesterday. There were so many lovely folks to chat with and share my love of these systems with. The lead-up work for conventions is so stressful, but seeing so many folks connect with systems from Japan makes it all worthwhile.

I know as a child I thought it was saying "OK Ska?" or "OK Scott?". I say this at least once every other week. youtu.be/l-GLlHfiSn0

It's #Sharptember everyone. Good thing I'm already working on a bunch of Sharp systems for #VCFMW.

Yay, it's Sharptember!!!

Today we have released ares v146. This release is significant because it introduces emulation for the Pioneer LaserActive, which has never been emulated successfully in the past. Read more at ares-emu.net/news/ares-v1... Get ares at ares-emu.net

Who was the first person to use kilo = 1024? We need to know them by name and be reminded of what they forced upon us.

I love the way I label parts. Sometimes it'll be months before I get to something and I surprise myself. "Lotus - CGROM Relocator" vs "Lotus - CGROM Relocator But Pretty"

Gaze in awe and horror! It’s a PC-FX! NO! We must go stupider! It’s a PC-FX as a SCSI CD-ROM drive! LOOK AGAIN! It’s a PC-FX as a SCSI CD-ROM drive in a PC-9821as equipped with a PC-FX GA playing PC-FX on another monitor! ...say that 3 times fast #pcfx

I've never seen this game before, so I ripped the font and added it to the arcade font engine! nfggames.com/games/fontma... Now with 175+ fonts!!

List a set of numbers that might not look like anything but are instantly recognizable in your field: 555, 741, 2040, 2350, 7400, 6502, 6800, 6809, 8080, 8088, 68000

💾 Be you, whichever way you are formatted 💾 Happy #Pride 💜

I played Bow-Wow Puppy Love Story (Wanwan Aijou Monogatari)! I liked it a lot! It was really cute, the writing was delightful and had a lot of fun moments. It was a charming little VN! Also it made me cry really hard

Hey Casio Loopy fans, the first English translation (and great localization) of Puppy Love Story is available! It even includes a translated manual!

I'm delighted to announce my English translation of Puppy Love Story on Casio Loopy, a visual novel penned by Kenji Terada. You can play on real hardware with a Floopy Drive, or emulate with LoopyMSE. I translated the manual as a little bonus too! Prepatched available at archive.org/details/pupp...

The retro and indie computing scene is built almost completely from small businesses who are hugely dependent on trading around the world. So much of the tariff commentary is about how this will affect big guys like Apple. It's already affecting the small guys working day to day.

I haven't had a chance to post much this trip (first time in Japan) but I've been able to go to some stores I import from to see what it's like. I've decided to not bring home any new systems to work on since I have enough at home to keep me busy until VCFMW!

when an american electronic appliance chirps at me: I did not invite you to speak. I despise you. I wish to destroy you when a japanese appliance chirps at me: You are my little friend. You are my companion in the journey of life

I wrote about how gamings rejection of humanity, and embrace of A.I., is the cause of the problems from everyone in the industy, from AAA to indie, journalist to Youtuber. And I highlighted some folks who are fighting to keep games human. Please reskeet for humanity? maxutmost.com/the-video-ga...

Indeed they did 🙂

I, uh, think Limited Run Games is broken. It's always super expensive to ship to Canada for some dumb reason, but this is a little bit much... 🤣

The Exit 8 live-action movie announced TOHO has announced a live-action movie adaptation of infinite loop escape adventure game The Exit 8. It will premiere in 2025.

My first floppy disk cleaning tutorial is now up on YouTube :D :D Hope you like it!! (If you do, pls share it to your friends :D) youtu.be/H4gb4-wORa0 #retrogaming #vintagepc #msdos

I made a profanity-laden Connections game this afternoon to celebrate this fucking terrible day connectionsplus.io/game/DG9KTB

"Sharp X 68 thousand" 😳

The size difference between new and old always makes me laugh. The new one is so light it doesn't need the metal surround.

I haven't really been active on (any) social media thanks to a busy month at work and then a hysterectomy ~6 days ago. I'm doing okay, just taking recovery seriously. Here's a bouquet my friends gave me last night. 🩷

Happy X68000 Day! #68の日

Just received a box from Japan with some interesting stuff. Quite a few magazines/books (mostly Perfect Catalogues) and a beautiful looking Tomy Pyuuta! Now to learn G-BASIC in Japanese.

Hey everyone! The Floopy Drive for the Casio Loopy by @partlyhuman.bsky.social is back in stock! Make sure to snag one and get your Chakra-kun on! 🙀 www.tindie.com/products/par...

How tonight started... and how tonight ended. Sharp MZ-2500 is alive and working! At least one FDD works and the tape deck tries to find files. Don't worry about the lack of color; I have it hooked up to B&W Composite for now. Now it's bedtime!

Being super lazy with unboxing my latest package from Japan. There's quite a bit of stuff here, some will be used sooner than others. Let me know if anyone wants more pics/info.

Before and After. Don't worry, the pictures are in the correct order - I'm just cleaning under the pinball machine today.
