Tron: Ares: I went in with *very* low expectations. Got a big, mostly dumb action movie with great visuals, a killer soundtrack, and none of the pseudo philosophical Matrix bullshit that weighed down the second movie. It’s a good time! B+

Subscriber here! 👋 This issue features an excellent in-depth comparison between the Analogue Pocket, ModRetro Chromatic, and the FunnyPlaying FPGBC. Very interesting (and useful) for fans of Game Boy FPGA consoles!

I just found out someone I know put herself through cosmetology school by trapping muskrats and selling the pelts, and for the record I just want to say that is the most Southeast Missouri shit I have ever heard

It’s weird that video games are the only medium where this is considered normal. You wouldn’t see a movie critic judge a silent film from 1908 by the same standards as, say, Apocalypse Now. Even a casual movie fan would understand that to be an ignorant comparison

I've spent the last few weeks working my way through David Bowie's entire catalog. This list ranking every one of his albums was a good place to start (and so far I agree with the #1 pick):

So my work cut back drastically on overtime hours, and I need to make up the difference... anybody have some mods or repairs needed on old hardware that yours truly could take a crack at? Perhaps a modded NES gamepad for a console with terrible controllers?

My son’s Pinewood Derby car “Highlighter Shark.” I’ve been encouraging my kids to aim for the design award instead of trying to make the fastest car, because after several years of this I’ve realized we’re not beating the engineering dads who design these things in AutoCAD

Actual unpopular opinions: - The sealed & graded market has little effect on used game prices and anyone blaming it is looking for a scapegoat - Nobody is owed a good deal on high demand, low supply antiques - Nobody needs genuine old games, we are in a golden age of free & accurate accessibility

I hate that I reflexively assume every unusual or unique work of art I see is AI now. A family friend got us a nice watercolor for Christmas and I am ashamed to say when my wife left the room I had to take a reeeeeeeal close look at it just to be sure
