Pretty sure it was @sparksnzeros.bsky.social that showed one of these being repurposed as a gameboy cart display. At local antique store.

Tatung Betamax VCR repair thread. It wasn’t to be….but EvRi decided it should be. This is what it’s supposed to look like. Seller also hid a dangerous issue, which I’ll show shortly.

A good while ago my good friend @pointerfunction.bsky.social designed and gave me this Atari 2600 game stand. Today I populated it with some vintage bootlegs.

Toys R Us, Tigard, Oregon. Such a brutal transformation that even the greenery was removed. 😢

The former Toys R Us location at 10065 SW Cascade Avenue, Tigard, Oregon, as of 2019. The facade remains, even though the store closed years earlier than this.

10065 SW Cascade Avenue, as of May 2024. The facade has been painted grey, as the lot is converted to a Tesla dealership. The bushes and trees in front of the property have all been removed, leaving only dirt.

Saw an add for a game on steam , but can’t find it now, nor the title. Looked like a shooter in the style of a tiger electronics LCD game. Anyone know it ?

Only been three decades of knowing this tune from an old mixtape, but not knowing the name of the release. One BITD I tried to hum to the good people at catapult records, but they didn’t know it from my efforts. That changed tonight. open.spotify.com/track/1zWBgy...
