I have been doing entirely too much earnest posting about deep things recently, I need to do a proper thread about hippo testicles or something just to keep myself sane. Oh by the way hippos have migratory testicles.

Happy birthday Half Life, 27 years old today! 🎂 And coincidentally, it’s my first day working at a ‘Black Mesa’ research facility. We are meant to be testing anomalous materials today. Bit odd, but I’ve been reassured absolutely nothing will go wrong! I’m glad I’m WFH. 👍

Oh, yeah, I can see how this is a shocking revelation but also this is explicitly what ai chatbot companion startups advertise you can use them for. It's so fragrantly a violation of revenge porn laws I don't know how they haven't been shut down

Courts are still deliberating on whether training LLM on private/copyrighted data violates IP laws, but it seems like an obvious no-brainer to me that inputting an image you don't own into an image-to-image/video service should be illegal

This is eugenics and you’re a eugenicist if you agree with Mark… wayne. Markwayne? Is that really his name?

Daily DBZ 173. King Furry addresses the world and accepts full responsibility for the army's annihilation. He asks everyone to join him in praying to Kami that another hero like the boy who defeated Piccolo Daimao will arise. Probably shoulda kept up with that kid, Mr. King!

I'm re-creating my 3rd ever PC, an AMD Athlon K7 Slot A with Voodoo 3 3000 and a Soundblaster Live and Live Drive. This is going to be a blast, the journey begins here. Let's Start A Thread 🧵:

Good morning! 🪶

It's official! #PicoIDE, the open source IDE/ATAPI drive emulator I've been working on for the better part of this year, will be launching at Crowd Supply! Go there to sign up for updates and to be notified when the campaign is live: www.crowdsupply.com/polpotronics...

3D artists, show your wireframes! (sound on)

The moment you’ve all (sort of) been waiting for: Part 2 of the workshop build video is here! Timber. Tools. Seth’s eyebrows. My optimism vs the bank balance. Who’ll win? Poverty most probably but let's go! youtu.be/SXTk5J8gOCI #RetroComputing #RetroTech #WorkshopBuild #DIYStudio 🙏Please share!

Oh if you insist.

It's going to be strange not seeing @burgerbecky.bsky.social pop up in my feed. I've been following her across various platforms for years. Another industry legend gone - may she rest in peace. www.rockpapershotgun.com/interplay-co...

moving forward with it

A pair of extra tiny ermines will be in this shop update! These two were super fun to make, but I might make them a little bigger next time. They will be available this Friday, November 21st at 8pm Eastern time.

"I code so others can dream." Gayming Icon and LGBTQ+ video game pioneer, Rebecca Heineman, has sadly passed away after a short, tough fight with aggressive cancer. Read our obituary to this true industry trailblazer: gaymingmag.com/2025/11/gaym...

That's great! I think 2 of those interfaces just used 40 pins (people confuse them for IDE), and Sony I think used 34. At least there's thought of implementing them eventually. BTW, Our Atlanta Historic computing group is anxiously awaiting testing this new device for IDE! <3

They should start selling t shirts with ‘Don’t mug me, I’m Android only’ on them

My trailblazing game industry bad-ass friend Rebecca Heineman has passed away. Fuck cancer. Friends, let’s not forget her: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebecca...

Spent the day catching up on freelance. But here is today's warmup that had me thinkin' about The Abyss and transparent fishies

Talked about the Medion ATI Radeon 9800 XXL (OEM product produced by MSI for Aldi) recently, and here we can see: MSI combined a regular 9800 XT GPU with 128 MB of 2.8 ns Hynix BGA memory, then underclocked it to practically 9800 Pro clocks. The cooler looks beefy but consists of ceramic I believe.

10 Mind-Blowing facts about Street Fighter 2 1- Guile was inspired by Rudol Von Von Stroheim from 1988 Jojo's Bizarre manga.

I’m currently organising my stacks, so here’s everything I’ve ever scanned and have yet to scan

Canadian Vending Magazine (May 1961) has been scanned and archived. Weird to scan something older than my dad. Please enjoy a look at automats and cigarettes! archive.org/details/Cana...

Anyone like weird 486-ish CPUs?

I’ve been learning and messing around in Blender recently. Check out the video I made for my new track on YouTube! #nostalgiacore 👉 youtu.be/vw0j8T3lDd4

I will never get tired of trying to infinitely inch closer to hummingbirds I have a few food spots around county where the birds simply ignore me and go about their business I will watched this male over a period of 20 minutes as I repositioned my self closer and closer… 📷🌿🪶 Anna’s Hummingbird

Change the legal term from sex trafficking to rape trafficking, victims of trafficking cannot consent to sex while being trafficked. It is rape.

YES, this is a gorgeous movie and a reminder to all of us in comics that you can push your colors harder. I tell my students honestly weekly--don't be afraid to color the way a character feels instead of whatever the local color is. EVERY ELEMENT can help communicate story, dirtbags! EVERYYYYY

My reconstruction of the German #BackToTheFuture logo. In my opinion, a stunningly good localization of one of the greatest movie logos ever. With a bit of luck on their side, they were able tp keep the connected CK and the arrow poking the K. #b3d #ZurückInDieZukunft #retro

I had a delightful time recreating one of these ads when I got married last year

It's a dark time for artists. Many are struggling! It's easy to buy gifts online. When you buy from *artists*, you're supporting working people, instead of making rich jerks richer. This fall, send your present $$ to an artist's shop! Artists! Drop your shop links! & check out SquidFacts.net 😘

Fun ragebait to trick your friends with

Let’s also not forget that Nakadai was the first guy who got to gush an absolute geyser of blood in a samurai movie, a happy accident that became a trope. (this short interview with Nakadai is delightful)

So, this is what the Duke Nukem 3D opening Theme (Grabbag) sounds on the Guillemot Maxi Studio Dynamic 3D - using the officially licensed 4 MB Roland sound font (GSSBK320.94b). Recorded with Windows 98 SE's audio recorder (44.1 kHz 16 bit Stereo, 172kbps PCM).

I have been posting less and the reason is I had another epileptic seizure, had to raise medication, my hand tremors got even worse, and I got depressed over it. Am officially looking for someone to help me fix some hardware. I can't pay much, but might have vintage hardware for you instead.🧵

Another image done for the cutscenes in the Amiga OCS game I'm working on. The game really needs to get a name at some point. #art #digitalart #pixelart #retrogaming #retrocomputing #vintagecomputing #retrocomputer #amiga #commodore #gamedev #indiedev

QRP your dark art 💜 Hmm... Nakyl counts for this fine meme #art #illustration #OCsky
