What's your favourite Headphones to listen to music? Mine so far are the Sony MDR MV1 Open back's They have that classic Sony deep Bass and crisp treble but somehow Sony has managed to create an amazing open, balanced and accurate sound. They aren't cheap, but they Rock 🤘

Anyone who loves metal music should give the Iron Maiden Edp0n3s by Onkyo a listen. They have been tuned with Steve Harris of Maiden and the mid range is like no other headphones I've yet heard, bass is great too and just the right amount of spice in the treble. Perfect match for Metalheads.

With the rapid decline of physical media in gaming, I'm posting about my Childhood Sega Saturn. I can still play these CD's decades later without needing to pay a monthly subscription or risk having my games pulled off a server due to licencing even though I paid. Physical Media Forever 💿

With all the controversy of Sony Ending Physical games for PlayStation in 2028. I decided to buy a new CD player :) a Fiio DM15 R2R. Funny how an old format from 1982 still beats streaming in quality 💿 Long live Physical Media.

RetroSix has released a new USB C AA Ni-Mh play and Charge kit. No solder no cut, comes with battery cover with USB C port hole. Unlike Lipo kits where the battery can swell, Ni-Mh is safer and much easier to replace. Also this kit converts Ni-Mh to the correct voltage for the GBA! So no shut offs.

In the garden at Dusk with the Sony RX 10iv. Being able to use F4 at 600mm allows a decent amount of light to the little 1" Sensor so I don't need too much ISO and can have a good Shutter even when the sun is quite low.

One of the things I love about photography, it helps you to appreciate the beauty in the ordinary, to stop an look at things otherwise ignored. Shot with a Sony RX10 IV, 600mm F4 JPG

The OG Xbox (2001) An amazing console that far outpaced the competition at the time. Built in HDD, so no need for memory cards, you could rip CD's and play your own music in game, plus there is an embarrassment of Sega riches too :) plus I actually really like the Duke Controller.

Virtua Fighter 2 Sega Saturn. Making use of Saturn's dual CPU's (one for each character) and dual GPU's 1 to render the characters/ring whilst the other draws the background. This game Ran in 480i at 60fps on a console that "can't do 3D" in 1995! When Saturn is utilised properly, it's impressive.

Guardian Heros for the Sega Saturn, the GOAT 🐐 of side scrolling beat 'em up's. Up to six players (via Saturn multi tap) Each stage has a different pathway to choose opening up HUGE replay value. I can confidently put this up against anything that the PS1 has to offer. If you haven't played do it!

Master of Darkness For the Sega Game Gear. This 1993 (PAL Region release) Castle Vania Style Vampire themed Game is a great addition to the GG's excellent library. A physical copy is around £40-£50 or if you have a Flash cartridge, you could always sail the high seas.. 🏴‍☠️

The Sega Saturn's Japanese library needs to be explored more. So many great games still remain locked on Saturn and only in Japan. Happily there are now more ways than ever to explore what Sega's 1994 machine has to offer from the land of the rising sun 🇯🇵🗾 Emulation, ODE's and now Mister, go explore

The Sony RX 10iv Bridge Camera, 20MP 1" Sensor with a 24-600 mm F4 equivalent brilliantly sharp Zies Lens. Released in 2017 this camera still produces stellar results and at 9 years old, no other all in one can yet match it. Sadly in 2025, Sony discontinued the RX 10 line. Please Sony release a mk 5

The Sega Saturn, Sega's 1994 Masterpiece 👌 Sure PS1 and N64 are fantastic too... But no Sega games! What's your favourite game on the Saturn? From Panzer Dragoon to Guardian Hero's if you haven't played Saturn, you are missing out.

What's the oldest Camera you have? These shots were taken on my 2011 FujiFilm HS20 EXR 16MP Bridge Camera with a tiny 1/23 sensor, it's fun working within the limitations of older gear sometimes.

Sega Saturn, one of the best consoles of all time. Had this PAL unit modded for 60hz and multi region. The Japanese library really opens up to help experience.
