Good Morning.

Haven't played with a Master of Orion 2 planet killer in decades. Nice article, btw: arstechnica.com/gaming/2025/...

It's been a while since I've painted anything, so I need to get new brushes/paint but realized I've not posted my Warhammer stuff here yet. I don't really consider myself good at it, but I really enjoy it when i do get a chance to paint, and just a really chill thing. These are a year or two old.

Missy insisted on going outside to walk on the frosty lawn this morning, so obviously she had to be given a few scraps of leftover egg when she came back in. #AndMissyToo

Yes it does, and it is in fact harmful to pander to them by pretending it doesn't

Ian McShane is 83 On how he came to be narrator on Grace Jones’ Slave To The Rhythm: ‘I was in a chip shop with my wife Gwen, & Trevor Horn came in, who I’d known forever. He said ‘Ian, what are you doing after supper?’ ‘Why?’ ‘Well, I need a voice & Orson Welles is dead.’ youtu.be/nAerTAjLpF0?...

Keir Starmer and Number 10 upended a previously low-profile digital ID policy last week, and made it the stuff of headlines – and mandatory. They have no idea of the size of the landmine they've stepped on by doing so. They've set up a new culture war. www.thenewworld.co.uk/james-ball-t...

Whatever country you are from, the officially approved way to avoid getting grabbed off the street is to have pale enough skin. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

A boat has sunk in the harbour of Hafnarfjörður. Which maybe shouldn't be newsworthy, except the same boat sank at the same harbour five years ago. The boat doesn't leak and they don't really know why it keeps sinking there.

Good Morning.

Good Morning.

Good Morning.

What a beautiful face to come home to! Photo from my collection, 1957.

So many of us came so very unwillingly to this place of viewing the Supreme Court as unworthy of being viewed as a judicial body. Unworthy of veneration, unworthy of respect. So profoundly reluctantly. But, good lord have they earned it.

Why is it "Nationalists" almost always tend to end up having Russian links... Because the Kremlin loves to fund useful idiots.

One thing I love about looking at old model shop photos isn't just the WIP but what else is in the workshop. Posters, tools, equipment, half-finished models. It's fascinating to see how and where these artists worked, with whatever they could get their hands on or old kits and parts.

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

I needed a picture of this beautifull old transistor radio for my book, tried to find one online i could purchase the rights to, but instead i found a guy selling one ... so now i made by own picture of it :-)

Good Morning.

The world is on the brink of chaos, and only one hero can save it... Bernie! Bernie and the Tower of Doom is a new, 512K Atari 7800 game by MuddyVision, whose previous games include A.R.T.I. and E.X.O. Bernie will make his first appearance at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo next month!

Good Morning.

Good Morning.

That was a quick fix. Managed to get some life out of @kevedwardsretro.bsky.social’s broken calculator. It was a dry solder joint. Just need to fix the DEG/RAD switch and reassemble.

DAMN IT. I hate when I'm right about something weird! Why the heck are paintings offset by 16pixels to the right?!

I am thinking about flying saucers and how fucking great they are still though.

Rapture's off. Sorry.

On this we agree wholeheartedly.

“Just a cat”. Rude! Photo from my collection, ca. 1950s.

Burning bright into the night on an orange-red gas plasma display... VGA Gas Plasma Displays were a thing for a while in the mid-late 80s, with Compaq releasing their own models of reddish-screened 'luggable' too. The Toshiba 3100SX hailed from 1986 and cost $5000. Will share more deets below.

A Happy Birthday to Floella Benjamin. 76 today! (Surely not!) All the best for the day from one of your Play School babies. 😀

Does a swordfish count as a dragon? It does not, it actually counts as an orc. When this book on how to program text adventures was translated from english, the translator didn't know what an orc was and a rough translation of orca later, the book features well armed swordfish in the samples.

The Bologna museum of coin-ops and pinball seems to have unearthed the original schematics for the early (1976) Sega coin-op Heavyweight Champ (today considered to be lost media). Using them, the game could now theoretically be rebuilt from scratch.

You can’t fix autism because autistic people are not broken.

Oh dear. It seems Dr. Oz’s company sells Trump‘s big autism cure. What a crazy happenstance.

Might be early to be thinking about this, but as excited as I am to see friends (and make new ones) during MIGW, did want to express a little thing on peopling. If only because of this incident from last year that kind of reinforces some of my own worries on meeting new folks.

Good Morning.
