@brandon.insertcredit.com I know you're more of a dog person but you should hear out @katmabu.bsky.social 's cat game concept

The Spider-Man x Great Gatsby crossover we've all been waiting for. Queens meets West Egg

The new owner of this cart is a super cool person because not only do they possess an incredible artifact but they also released the ROM so that others could explore and document the differences

As I fall asleep my brain wanders into uncharted territory asking questions like "does anyone have a TiVo tattoo?"

Had to wire up this jank to try and dump that weird Doki Doki Panic disk and now the drive calibration is off and I can't read the disk. I really dislike the fragility of FDS games...

Fun morning at the Alameda Antiques Faire. Busy and vendors had more unusual items. I don't have a 70s themed kitchen but if I did I'd have to pick up one of those container sets. Always wanted a plasma globe when I was a kid. Lawn darts and a Tomy Chatbot that you don't see very often. 1/x

The image is gone (it was Shaq smiling at the camera wearing a blonde wig) but this is what he posted on the day Michael Jackson died

The modding will continue until morale improves

I can't remember why we launched this on April Fools day. The joke post was the Google Moon Base which I guess is also apt today

Looking through my stack of projects and realizing that some of the older enthusiast community solutions are now scarce or no longer available. Worrisome but also encouraged by the emergence of more modern open source designs. Keeping an eye on areas in danger of losing support or expertise.

Happy Fret lighting up a fat blunt and the dungeon creatures are excitedly lining up for a hit

That handhelds bin ended up being a bunch of systems that needed some kind of repair. Just finished nearly clearing the bench (GameGear that needs a recap). Final tally: 3 DMGs, Lynx, 4 GBAs, 2 GBA SPs, 2 GBC, 2 Gameboy Pockets, Neo Geo Pocket Color, Wonderswan, and a DSi

The "Pro Fighter X" series of SNES copiers has kinda stupid disk handling code: it doesn't filter out FAT entries on floppy disk that should never be displayed, like the Volume name ("CHRIS"), directories, and long filename chunks. This causes errors during display & loading. So I RE'd and fixed it.

Going through a bin labeled "Handhelds" and a GBA held 2 treasures, one in the cartridge slot and the other plugged into the accessory port. That and I guess I have enough loose DMG-01s for some multiplayer shenanigans

Is this that Pokémon pinball everyone is talking about? I will say the rumble is a nice touch

After No Kings I went to re-shell a broken GBA SP. Made tons of carless mistakes along the way. Reminding myself to not rush even for the most basic of mods. Also the battery looks to be getting into spicy pillow land so this is probably a parts machine anyway.

Fixed my disk system drives and finally going through that pile of bootleg disks. There's something a little off with this version of Doki Doki Panic...

A treat for Friday: We've added new items to some development material collections in our library! See our latest additions to the Mark Flitman and Andrew Nelson papers

Holy shit

Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.

Movie prop auctions are so funny sometimes

I run into a lot of folks that are intimidated by soldering. I taught my partner using one of those educational kits but you can easily get reps in taking a random PCB and removing and reinstalling caps/ICs. Flux is your friend

@danryckert.com You may not have gotten the Ace Ventura rhino but Castor Troy's prison boots from Face/Off are up tomorrow: propstoreauction.com/lot-details/...

Count quietly confessing to a double homicide

As a non-parent how do kids make spending money nowadays? I had an allowance for household chores + mowing lawns and shoveling snow starting around 12. Under the table at restaurants ~15 and then above board as a waiter and retail starting at 16. Sorry if this is old man yells at cloud...

Maybe it's the pose but this cat looks like it has a no-show job in New Jersey

A classically structured history of memes has to exist at this point, right? "It's here where we see a fork of the Mr. T ate my balls memes collide with Vin Diesel generators to create the Chuck Norris invincible thread..."

Argh. Servicing a Twin Famicom and one of the floppy drive springs went flying never to be seen again. Time to dig through parts machines

First order of business: Change the "Shields!" sample to Sulu from Star Trek VI

New collection announcement: We're live at GDC... 1989! We've digitized 21 hours of talks from the third ever Computer Game Developers' Conference, now available for free in our digital library 🔊 gamehistory.org/cgdc-1989-ta...

Where... where can I find this desk? Clearly there are at least two of them in the world.

Electronics Flea Market: Bootleg Famicom Disk System games including a Rockman 2 with a "TURBO DICK" label and a wall clock. What's up with the clock? Vendor had them for $5, a few tables down, $1. Came from Meta's office closeout. Later in the morning he was giving them away so we all got clocks.

DAY OF THE DEVVVVVVVVVVS! Come on down!! 💀🎮♥️ #dayofthedevs

Quick toy show thread. Lots of fun stuff for sale and it was great to see so many families shopping together. Starting things off with these Eric Fensler GI Joe PSA-inspired figures. I didn't know they existed but I'm really happy that they do! Porkchop Sandwiches!

Toy show tomorrow at the same place where they had arcade game auctions back in the day. Just checked and my last results were from March 2001 so 25 years ago. wtf

Since it plays both Xbox and PC they should have named it Project Tuvix

Helluva time to have to upgrade the NAS 😅 Just telling myself it'll be more expensive if I wait

Bay Area folks: BART MART popup today at the Downtown Berkeley station from 3-6pm featuring work from local artists bartmart.notion.site/2feb53326cb2... cc @brandon.insertcredit.com

Xbox 360 RROD towel trick but for the Super Famicom

BREAKING: We've freed Cookie. Following an investigation by VGHF, Ukie and Web Capio have suspended DMCA takedowns for Cookie's Bustle on behalf of Graceware, SL. More info:

Was messing around with home server stuff and set up a Satisfactory server to "test". Back into it with my partner and checking out 1.1

I paid $400 for an external HDD that was $250 2 months ago. It's grim but the only positive outcome here is a focus on right to repair and less planned obsolescence? Picturing myself harvesting bga RAM modules over a flaming barrel while eating rat burgers with Dennis Leary

The new SF Public Library Starfleet Academy cards are available!

I'd like to think she works in the same Canon office with Godzilla

There was a moment in time where we had Burnout, Blur, and Split/Second. We feasted before the famine

"In America they throw batteries at players" "Hold my crab juice"

everyone who bought a Virtual Boy, this is you

I have an early prototype of that controller!

Blue Prince creator Tonda Ros subscribes to our retro magazine blind box so I said hi at D.I.C.E. yesterday. He was like "I keep waiting for it to be a Nintendo Power," and then paused and was like "Don't game the system and send me one!" which is just beautiful, that's exactly who I'd hoped he was.
