Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

A couple of cheap pickups. I do love a PS3 game, and Sega Rally is a dupe, but couldn’t leave it in the shop.

Yesterday @bootsmcgoot.bsky.social and I saw some techbro giving “30 pieces of advice for people under 30” over on Twitter and it was all grind culture bullshit. As adults of 38 and 43 respectively, we compiled 30 pieces of advice that people under 30 won’t have heard before:

Very weird to log into your Xbox account on your PlayStation 5. The eldest daughter got it cheap for me as an Xmas present.

As I’ve benefited from my eldest daughters Disney+, I’ve finally caught up with Andor Season 2 and Alien Earth. The shows were great and I’ve enjoyed Sydney Chandler’s and Diego Luna’s performances. The stand out alien for me was the Eye Alien. That was creepy as fuck, especially whilst in the 🐑 .

“Where shall we setup the new Atari computer dear?” “The kitchen, you’ll stand up to use it.” #Atari 800

Have a happy Sega Saturnalia!

The default donation settings are quite an eye opener. 6 times a bigger donation to the not so Humble Bundle than Save the Children. Don’t forget to use the sliders kids!

Just realised that I never stuck Jim on Tenor so I've rectified that oversight

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone - tech is now more expensive - you cannot trust most media of reality anymore - programs barely function - energy prices - literal psychosis - your voice can be literally stolen for evil - more spyware but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

I don’t need another boxed Super Nintendo….. I don’t need another boxed Super Nintendo. £68 according to the tag.

Anyone have to stop when they see patterns in numbers? Just me then.

Digital Eclipse 'remastered' Mortal Kombat and they've messed things up so during Johnny Cage's fatality you can now see the crew men with the blood hose on the right

Luke’s being abused by the daughter in the name of Christmas. He’s never liked dressing up. #caturday #lukethegrumpycat

52 laps around the sun, 52 lengths in the pool.. 26 years from being 26 on the 26th. It’s one of those number days. Something to build from the eldest daughter too.
