Just getting in before it all crashes 😉

Several businesses in Germany have hiring posters that say "we're looking for you." In German that phrase is "wir suchen dich," which could be mistaken for an English phrase with a somewhat different meaning.

Just published Rom Hunter's 1977-1992 VCS ROMS Collection v20, the most genuine and best documented #Atari2600 ROM collection www.atarimania.com/rom_collecti... #atari

Here are four of my most popular cartoons on 2025

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

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:

Christmas Retro Jigsaw 2025 - Completed it Mate! 👍

Bought myself an #Atari2600plus #PacMan edition for Christmas, & got joysticks from @tonyfishlock.bsky.social. They are gorgeous, but the bases ... why?! 😱😱😱 I need to move the pads to each corner! Has anyone managed to get the two player ghost mode to work? Tried everything possible but nope ...

🎄 Many #8bit Xmas's to me! 🎄An 'Youtuber' isn't unboxing a Commodore 64 Ultimate. 🤪 Niche or wot! 😉 www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MFV...

I do love the Gruum stuff (well, when it's on sale), but it is like browsing the IKEA of skin care products ... www.gruum.com/product-cate...

Post a random gif or else everything will go bad in 2026.

My eating habits over the last few days have been like constantly putting your phone onto charge even though it's still at 98% battery life.

Look, family obviously love me as much as my friend does, they got me a matching mug ...

They're holding hands, apparently ... #JellyBabies #Haribo

Skynet's coming. Be prepared and wear a cup.

Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁 As such, I'm required to provide photos of insects wearing Santa hats. Whether you celebrate or not, I hope you have a wonderful day!

If you do get one of these for Christmas please be a responsible owner and pick-up after them.

The original Mavis Beacon was, curiously, also a very good typing tutor.

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas, and I hope Santa's been generous 🎄 And for those of you for who the day is far from merry, wishing you a peaceful day 💙 The image below was created using an #AtariXEGS and touchpad. A lot of time and effort went into it, so please don't plagiarise my work 😉🤣😝

Oooh they're not happy sharing a bed ... the looks ... 🐈‍⬛ 🐈‍⬛ #SpencerAndDennis #CatsofBlueSky #Caturday #BlackCat

Not quite a #retrorandom, as I always post this picture at Christmas ... it's my Spectravideo CompuMate running its Christmas demo (built in!). The Compumate is cute, and makes the Atari into an almost unusably bad computer. But wait, the demo gets better ...

My 14-yo-son has recreated the climax of Back to the Future in gingerbread and I thought you should know.

Must be time for #ElfBowling now! #PanasonicToughbook #Retrocomputing

Merry Xmas and seasonal greetings to all #LegoTrain 😁

If I didn't already have two, I so would 💕 #Cat #CatsofBluesky #Caturday

Awww how sweet! My mates crocheted us some #Christmas baubles...

Saw this TV at #Brighton #CarBootSale today 💙 If I had room and money, it would have been perfect for my #Atari2600

“i have to use AI because i’m bad at drawingggg 😭😭😭”

Well the good news is they're pretty and I got through school without anyone having heard of them.

There's a bit of a #Wimpy revival going on in #Eastbourne ...

"You spin the square tile in tetris" SAVAGE 🤣🤣🤣

CMYK colour matches all done.

Ooooh! Don't tell me, you'll ruin the surprise 🙃

#FUNFACT, if it wasn't for the 🎅 £139 VIC20 starter bundle. www.tfw8b.com would probably have never happened. #Blitz #TypeATune #Race #Hoppit 😎👍 #Xmas1982?

We've stolen a big fuck-off TV from a relocating department. It's been left by the boss's office window. My suggestion of videoing us all working hard, pushing the big telly up to the window, then playing the vid on loop all afternoon whilst we all buggered off down the pub was vetoed. Spoilsports 😄

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous this is worth sharing and educating people about

New decals done! Fitting is still a little off, although considering I'd cut them from a random photo I'd found online they aren't bad at all. If/when I get time I need to lose a couple of mm from the #Atari bit, and add it to the long part on the barrell. But I probably won't bother if I'm honest!

Sorry mate, already been done 😉 #M&S #Zoolander #BlueSteel

They used to "laugh and call him names." Now they're all dead

Having a crack at making up some #AtariXEGS gun decals. Can't find any for sale, or any templates online. So I've nicked some pics of the gun & used those. They're not wonderful, but hopefully they'll look a little better when printed on a decent printer & not my ancient BJC-85. #retrogaming #Atari

Couldn't resist a quick go of #Pitfall on the #AtariXEGS as it's still out. Very similar gameplay to the #Atari2600 version (crocs might be a tad less forgiving), but the extra details do give it the edge looks-wise. Managed to survive the whole 20 mins and beat my 2600 score. #retrogaming #atari

Quick wander round #Brighton Marina bootsale this morning. Picked this little #glass up for 50p ... it glows! No, I'm not going down that road, but, you know, 50p ... ! 😄 #Uranium #UraniumGlass

Just wrapping up the pile of Xmas tat I've been buying for my mate throughout the year. Sometimes I forget what's in her bag, and have a real 'wtf' moment when I come to wrap it. This is one of those times ...
