My last trip to the gym. Was stared at the whole time. One girl was sick with the flu. Snotting all over the place not cleaning. There’s no sense of community either. People too busy making TikTok shit. Time to step it up with my own new equipment. Just getting started…..

The final Calvin and Hobbes, which appeared in papers 30 years ago today.

Sega Channel Revival support is now available for MiSTer!

I woke up and chose violence. Batman (NES). Finished. No death run. Not the fastest. Love this game. The soundtrack is amazing.

Bluesky randomly logs me out. Then my iPhone wants to enter old security keys as my password. Pain in the ass. No other app logs me out that much.

2:09 round 1 Mike Tyson….. having the worst fucking day I’ve had in ages. Wasn’t even focused. Doesn’t count for leaderboards. No video. I am amped and pissed all at the same time. 2:17 was my best. Also. This was my first perfect fight ever.

Finnegan is growing so fast. Almost 8 months old.

Is Halloween dead? 68 trick or treaters last year. 16 this. (I know the blue jays game is on. But….). Tons left over. :/ The last 3 kids got 3 full size bars and 3 bags of chips each. Still have too much left.

I’ve played galaxy numerous times. In 4K on dolphin. On launch day on my Wii. Still own my launch day copy…. Yet still excited for this.

Afternoon retro shenanigans www.twitch.tv/thehandlebar...

Chatting. Random retro shenanigans. Hanging out. HTTP://www.twitch.tv/thehandlebargamer

Currently spinning Kruder & Dorfmeister “DJ Kicks” and their album “1995”. Lights on low. Music gently filling the room…. It’s been one of those days.

Mmmmmmm. FL5 Mugen TYPE-R parts…..

A bit of retro gaming shenanigans! Http://www.twitch.tv/thehandlebargamer

Tonight I got to enjoy this sunset from thousands of feet in the air…. It’s absolutely beautiful. I’ve never felt more alive. The wind. The freedom. If anyone is thinking about trying this - do it. There’s no other experience like it. #paramotor

Let’s go play among the clouds……

Reorganized my CIB collection in my world of Nintendo cabinet. Looks so much better now!

I’m so fuckin happy right now…..

I’m actually live and streaming! Http://www.twitch.tv/thehandlebargamer

Finnegan uses his charm and good looks to get away with everything.

One of my landings from my last flights. Greatly improved flare timing. I’m not as intimidated coming in to land. Way smoother. Was really excited with how smooth they have gotten.

One of yesterday’s takeoffs. Skillset is greatly improving. Far more comfortable at altitude. Can’t wait till training is done and I can go for 2+ hour flights and just explore.

It’s a beautiful evening to be flying thousands of feet in the air with a fan strapped to my ass. #buttfan #paramotor

First flight was 750 feet. Second was 887. Third was 1357. Fourth was 1887. Fifth was 1863….. 2000 next week!

I was able to get up in the sky and see this amazing sunset from over 1000 feet. The sunset on the horizon was beautiful…

Made a channel on my pi powered cable tv simulator. Lollll. If you know, you know. It’s this on loop 24/7. Good ol dishnet.

Will the swamp area still drop way below 30fps?….

Snagged 2 switch 2’s. The GameCube controller. Pro controller. Keeping one of the switch 2 systems sealed/stock/low firmware in hopes for a homebrew exploit.

The tea party. The edges of twilight has arrived!!!! Amped!!! I love this album. Still in my very regular rotation. Check it out if you haven’t

700 feet high with a 2 stroke engine on my back…… it’s the craziest fucking thing….. terrifyingly awesome.

I hopped on threads tonight. It’s been a while. It’s worse than Twitter. Holy fuck…..

Why do I have a 185cc engine with blades on my back?…. :D

The homebrew community continues to blow my mind…

Pi5 Cable box up and running on my Sony 310 CRT. Seasons 1-10 of Simpsons. All golden girls. Tons of movies. TMNT/ren and stimpy/chip n dale/etc. a thousand music videos. My Winamp music player. NES (mister hidden inside). I think I’ve found my happy place…

I build a 90s cable box simulator. Only have 2 channels (testing). But it’s so fun. Learned lots! Now to hook it up to my Sony CRT!!! Github with info to make one: github.com/shane-mason/...

Afternoon retro shenanigans and some coffee. Http://twitch.tv/thehandlebargamer

Soon I will be 6500 feet (legal limit here) in the air. With this over my head. Sitting on a little seat. With a 2 stroke engine strapped to my back. Can’t wait!!

Day 2 in the books…

Lunar has arrived!

It begins….. ground kiting is tough!

Paramotor ordered. I have successfully completed my initial testing to get my ultra light pilots license so I can train. Time to study……

Donkey Kong Country…. Amazing soundtrack. I can’t get enough of aquatic ambience… (the cassette is sealed!).

Turtles in time has hit MisterFPGA. @pr4m0d.pram0d.com and crew knocked it outta the park! Fuckin amped. Run update all!!!

Time to replace my printer nozzle. So. Upgraded to hardened steel hot end and extruder gears!

Crispy DuckTales NES CIB. Has the original cellophane and hang tab too. Now. I need to find a MegaMan2 CIB in similar shape….

A friendly reminder. You will pay for everything and own nothing. Spotify is down. Physical media and/or piracy is the only way to ensure you have access to content as large corps can fail/shut down and you have nothing.

Training begins……will take a few months to get my ground practise and mandatory flights in for certification.

Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear.

That face tho…… #rocky #collie #dog #dogs #puppy #bff

Pizza demands focus!
