Some people were confused by my ICE post. This should clear it up.

My postal worker friends and I personally identified and filtered trillions of pieces of Dilbert art out of the mailstream and then used them to burn Republican ballots....which cost Trump the 2020 election and increased global warming on purpose

When a CD or DVD is stored vertically for too long, the heavier bytes start to slide down and collect at the bottom edge of the disc. This is called "big endian".

Note, 1994 and prominent new Master System placement. No NES. We could not be more different to the American market. (Mean Bean machine is on sms too)

Don’t put an original Bialetti in the dishwasher, you’ll end up with the thinnest of aluminium powders on the whole thing that you can never wash or wipe off.

A few people have said my latest videos are the first time they ever heard the term "platform adventure," which admittedly used to be a lot more common than it is today. But it got me thinking about where these various adventure spin-off terms came from. Here's a thread. 🧵

In my day we used manufacture consent for illegal military action, but I suppose the president never was big on consent.

Les éditions L’Atalante et Au diable vauvert ont la tristesse de faire part du décès brutal de Pierre Bordage, dû à un arrêt cardiaque survenu le 26 décembre 2025 dans sa 71e année.

Nothing like diagnosing faults in kitchen appliances when visiting family. This Espresso machine uses a standard CM6821 heater block which you can get for around 30€ new. You can get a working coffee machine, same model, for 20€ second-hand. I think it will be kept for parts rather than repaired.

And on that night, Ebenezer Sega, CEO of Sega, was visited by three spirits: 1. The Ghost of Christmas in America, who recommended they make the 32X 2. The Ghost of Christmas Japan, who recommended they make the Sega Saturn 3. The Ghost of Christmas Brazil, who just wanted more Master System

Did you know that Toshiba laptops had a technician password that reads “Toshiba”? Just unlocked a perfectly working laptop found in the dump, even had its original unwiped hard drive. www.technibble.com/how-to-bypas...

Introducing my next documentary project. This is my concept, and my synopsis has had really upbeat feedback from the LucasArts and adventure community people I've shown it to. We'll have more to share in January, but for now please follow @scummdoc.bsky.social and sign up to the waitlist.

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

Q: What do you call Ceefax in French? A:

What originally prompted me to spend months researching how Sega consoles and games were sold in Italy in the 80s/90s was the fact that I kept seeing people adopting "US memories", remembering things that never happened (like Sega vs. Nintendo ads). That's (also) why preservation is important.

We're super excited to be returning to the Bagpuss Universe for Yaffle Origins. As mega fans of the Oliver Postbox multiverse, we always dreamed of telling the story of Assistant Professor Yaffle getting his first pair of glasses or whatever. Join us on this barren sphere, in this living death.

Surprise, we preserved Sega Channel Like all of Sega Channel

After 6 years working on BlueRetro, the time has come for me to move on and focus on my family and my real job. Thank you to everyone who contributed, tested, reported issues, or supported the project over the years. Your involvement made BlueRetro what it is today.

Today's video answers a question I get A LOT: Why Does Coffee Make You Poop? www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZnA... If you enjoy this (and it's a little... different to the usual thing) then do please share it!

Definitely. My dad took me Christmas Eve (!), and we went to 9 different stores. All were sold-out. People were haggling to buy the display unit. Instead, I got one of the few Master Systems left, with the Ninja and F-16 Fighting Falcon. I went home a very happy kid, and the rest is history!

Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam This is where we're at now.
