Making progress on the Amiga! Thanks to @cathoderaydude.bsky.social for the article at gekk.info/articles/ami..., basically the only readable information about getting an early model Amiga 3000 to boot that I have found.

Pillow boy

Hey has anyone seen Meatloaf? I can’t find that guy anywhere.

Funniest possible way to start a movie about cartoons stalking a mansion full of beautiful women, and five years before the Coen brothers made a similar claim in Fargo.

Once I watch this video it’s over for you mfers

Yeah man, that’s probably recyclable

I was on another podcast, this time to talk about one of my favorite directors: Andy Sidaris. It was super fun, plus look at this incredible poster image Dirk commissioned?!?

Getting drunk with my wife and watching Perfume Genius music videos in the basement.

She’s yelling at me to come sit in the chair.

I got to be on the Dogg Zzone podcast this week to discuss the moment the light of karate magic faded from baby Seanbaby’s eyes.

Ok so I uh did not realize how gigantic this microscope was when I ordered it.

Until this week, it's been impossible to play the games of the 1993 Pioneer LaserActive without one of the vanishingly rare, disintegrating consoles. Here's the story of the guy who's been trying to fix that for years -- and all the hardware and software he had to build to make it possible.

I should probably be getting my gunckels serviced annually, now that I’m almost 50

The 1991 film Robo Warriors left a 40ft tall robot prop standing on a Philippine Air Force base after shooting wrapped. The locals were so taken with it that after decades of succumbing to the elements, they commissioned artists to build a 12ft tall replica: www.sunstar.com.ph/amp/story/pa...

Great little article about a small arcade clinging to life in Liaoning, China www.sixthtone.com/news/1017537

A Life Well Wasted 9 will be released one week from today. Here’s the poster design by Olly Moss. Screenprints will be on sale from 9/4 through 9/11 on the ALWW website. Still ad-free! Come back next week.

“The headbutt.”

*airhorn noises*

Had to take Meatloaf to the ER for observation for possible intestinal blockage. I know he’s going to be ok, but please hold his stupid little face in your thoughts tonight all the same.

Put this in the hall of fame for load-bearing adjectives

Was in Wyoming for most of last week with no internet. Highly recommended.

I got one of those crazy 5:4 Checkmate 1500 displays and plopped a MiSTer FPGA unit inside it and it’s a pretty nice little standalone unit!

There are few places as depressing as an Office Depot in 2025

This is how I, too, would like to be recognized.

I think it’s finally time to pull this Amiga 3000 board and see if I can patch up what the battery destroyed years before I bought it. It can boot to here, but the screen is green and glitchy and the mouse can only scroll around the left side of the screen.

Playing Snatcher the way god intended: off floppy disks on an MSX computer

TIL slurpee machines run linux

Food cart cat is getting their’s rn

Is it a good thing when your manager's manager's manager's manager asks to meet with you in 30 minutes

Especially this part 🔥

Quitting my job so I can dedicate myself to accepting giant checks from Ed McMahon outside my home full time.

Been thinking about that "AI deletes the prod database and then apologizes" story that's going around.

Got a couple of super rad games from @nicole.express in the mail today, including Nintendo’s Block Kuzushi, as seen in nicole.express/2024/ping-po...

I’m Having A Weekend

Getting the basement wrangled a bit better. Got the extra pinball tables tucked in the workshop corner and have my dusty-ass Tempest in a playable spot again.

I really dig the stuff Powerhoof puts out, and the demo for their upcoming game The Drifter looks so rad: powerhoof.itch.io/the-drifter

My new collection of short stories and poetry -- We Had It Coming -- is available for pre-order now! It's the best thing I've ever written and I think you all will find solace and despair in equal measure within. www.welcometohellworld.com/my-new-book-...

Took a day off work, got high, and started trying to reverse engineer the Windows 95 build of the unreleased Saturn game Sacred Pools.

Today's VHS upload to the Archive is "Karate For Your Child," produced in 1982 by Kenpo master Ed Parker, according to the box. Have you ever wanted to watch young children beat the absolute shit out of each other? Well ok pervert, here you go. archive.org/details/kara...

The original stablecoin was the Disney Dollar

Thinking about the time in 2014 when someone spray painted “dog fart” on a bush and then, later, I saw it.

Today's VHS upload to the Internet Archive is Shock Wave: Volume 2, a collection of Christian skits for the teens of 1990s. Worth watching for the segment where a guy repeatedly hits himself in the dick with a hammer to demonstrate the dangers of drinking. archive.org/details/shoc...

The beautiful game (Puzzle Bobble) ✨️

This cat I’ve never met before has waltzed into my backyard and is trying to get into the hammock with me (not pictured)
