Sometimes, just maybe the algorithm will give me something I didn’t know I needed on a Saturday Morning.

More parts for the Witchraft Pin on the way from @pinballlife.bsky.social, Marco Specialties, Remington Industries, and Mouser. Still need a few items but the ground level playfield component ordering should be nearing completion.

More parts were ordered today for the Witchcraft Pin. Cabinet is now ordered, and I’ll be getting most of the remaining mechs. Still waiting on the fast pinball order to ship.

I’m still crying that Kimi won the race 😭. I’ve been following him since F2 and his first starts in F1, and it’s just such a joy to see this already in his second season.

Current state of Witchcraft Pin. At the center of the upper playfield is the cauldron for potion related modes. Entry is via the front, back (via an orbit), and the wire ramps at the top. Final sculpt will have ramps as cauldron rim. Pop Bumpers will have custom green bubble caps in real pin.

First crude attempts at the cauldron playfield element of the Witchcraft Pin. Eventually this will be a sculpt with spiral ramps in, but this allows me to test pop bumper spacing. #visualpinball #homebrewpinball

Filmed an unboxing video of some pinball parts for the homebrew witchcraft themed Pin I am designing. Looking to do some quick edits and have it out next week!

Thought I would capture some of my thoughts on my project changes, and how they affect upcoming content. www.techwitchcoven.io/2026/03/11/t...

Also ordered some parts for a homebrew pinball machine. More details and photos to come!

Good news, we are making progress towards the business foundations of techWitchCoven LLC and the associated brands! Working through dba/fictitious name registrations.

In the dumbest analogy, the reason your gas is going up despite the US producing oil is like asking a restaurant that only has cans of coke if you can get Diet Coke. No that’s a different product bud.

And there goes my entire projects plan for the year. It was a good move to give it up for what I am now planning, but it was tough to let go at first. Ultimately my heart just wasn’t in the type of work, and the end product wasn’t me.

It begins! Box 1 of 3 in the Pokemon trio set. #lego #pokemon

My success last night is tempered by the fact one of the Pokemon LEGO sets I ordered when they first came out has not shipped. Specifically the Pikachu one. Since it was an actual set and not a GWP, I’ll wait a bit before I raise a ticket.

Been wanting to pickup the Lego Shopping Street set but was holding off until either the Natural History Museum Set would come in stock, or for Pokemon day to use that purchase to get the Mini Pokemon Center. It looks like this Pokemon day, I’m starting out with a win. We got it.

It took like 2 weeks for the state to to process the paperwork but techWitchCoven LLC has been officially formed. Still working on a lot of the back end paperwork, but continuing towards launch.

I swear every bone in my body is telling me to buy the pokemon pinball machine. It doesn’t help all my coworkers say to buy it also 😂

Just a heads up, Facebook continues to be trash in the age of dead internet coming true. They have an option to report fake/bot profiles, but won’t do anything about them because they don’t violate community guidelines. Why even have the option then?

Since a certain administration and CBS does not want to talk about James Talarico. The equal time rule does not and has not applied to talk shows.

Website Updates Thread - More Project Tracking tools! Spent some writing a blog post about the current planned projects for this year! (might update/edit it a bit more later) www.techwitchcoven.io/2026/02/15/p...

Spoilers: If you are just going to reply to me saying you are wrong without any explanation for why you feel that way, you will get blocked. I’m all for discussion, but when you come with no evidence you can get outta my face.

1) this starts tonight 2) please call the Lady Arcaders Hotline at some point during the event, it's my favourite gimmick re: the transit theme ldy.gg/4yrs 🚂

I hope people turn this frustration with discord into something productive. Discord isn’t the best tool because it’s a multi-tool. Start splitting tasks between tools. Use forums for long term knowledge, social platforms for sharing cool things, and use discord for communication.

Just finished designing a PCB footprint for a GBA sp connector. Used in a GB/GBA breakout board, and some future projects. It will also be released as a KiCAD library with other footprints I design.

Going to be working on techwitchcoven.io and some of the feature tracking tools for a bit. Starting with feature tracking (trello.com/b/5gVPEm5d/t...). #devThread #techWitchCoven

Spent the day fighting Wordpress and BBpress. Not the day I wanted to have. Should be publishing the new Twitch Schedule soon! Will be just gameplay/designing/crafting visually until the model for techWitch Astra is complete.

About to document and transform two Alex drawer units into a Alexis Workbench 😂

Sometime this upcoming month I’ll be streaming some content on both SMD soldering, and Through hole. Also we will be talking a bit about the @ifixit.com Soldering Station and the Rigol DHO914S Oscilloscope. Both I’ve recently added to my electronics toolset. Likely soldering a board I designed.

I just rode Dinosaur at Animal Kingdom for what will likely be my last time and it’s really hitting me hard. It’s a ride I worked, a ride I love, and one that shaped my career. I think re-theming it is a massive mis-step for Disney, but one they take nonetheless.

Bluesky adding a live feature that can link to other platforms is proof that they care about the users on the platform. Twitter hiding links to twitch and other socials was such a bad move for users in a desperate attempt to keep users on platform.

Starting from today my online presence is shifting to techWitch Astra in alignment with my Twitch rebrand! Expect to see more Pokemon content, and console mods posted here, as well! More details will released as we progress the rebrand! (Art by @yuayumii.bsky.social )

If I had a dollar for every person trying to get clout off pointing at the LEGO prices for pokemon sets with massive piece counts that doesn’t know about LEGO Prices, I wouldn’t ever have to worry about money again.

Later today or this weekend I will be releasing the PCB and schematic files for a GBA Cartridge Slot Breakout Board. It can be used for reverse engineering or probing a cartridge!

@ryanmcbeth.bsky.social In your latest video you showed percentages of inauthentic profiles, but it looked like at least in the data you showed was mostly checked against X. How do those numbers compare on other platforms? (I’m just curious if there are trends per platform on that topic)

Last month I started planning a rebrand of my twitch channel to both change the format (me vs VTuber avatar), and a focus on more specific content/specialization. As we head into the beginning of the year, I plan on starting to roll out and tease that rebranding.

And the power port I got is not close enough to the real one. Time to source a better one before this SP turns on again.

In the middle of replacing two of the ports on this SP, and replacing the volume switch. #retro #repair

This is the most dystopian thing I’ve seen in a while. Free admission though! Sears-Florida Mall

Oh she’s gonna be mine I promise!

I feel like I needed this lesson a while ago and still relearn it. Not very problem needs to be solved with a fully 3d printed part. In fact the best designs I’ve made are hybrid parts.

A Christmas gift from my partner’s family 💕 my first Lego set with aftermarket lights!

Catch me at the Oreburgh Mine this Christmas Eve leveling up my team so Roark will stop whooping my butt 🫤

I’ve been commenting about this a lot on AI posts on other platforms. Maybe the water usage doesn’t worry you, or the ethical art concerns, or maybe the electricity rates don’t hit you, but I promise the lack of RAM and video chips will. This AI grift needs to end.

Just watched a YouTube short that called the contact pads on the back of the DS for wireless charging. Marketing really is making us less educated about tech technology. Wire is a shorter word for Conductor, which could be a metal plate, pin, wire, etc.

Not from today but I was so excited to get a streetpass as I was at the theme parks this weekend! #3ds #streetpass

Me when I get a headache from the bright outside leaking inside as I’m doing work.

One of my favorite free apps is Pocket TCG, which is a lite Pokemon card game. For a couple days now I’ve been trading/sharing with someone who randomly added me. This one person changed how I use this app. I don’t know who you are Andy Moogle, but thank you for making my days better! #pockettcg

Bought a copy of Pokemon X after buying a 3ds XL on eBay. The copy of X just got here, coincidentally today is also the day I start the claims process for the 3ds 😭

PSA if you’re grinding Pokemon battles in #LegendsZA to get the Mable Research the fastest battle start to battle start time is Battle Zones (Particularly the City Hall Zone) 1.3 vs 1.7 Battles per Minute (Le Nah vs City Hall Battle Zone). Not to mention significantly better prize money and exp.
