Jim Caris @jimcaris.eurosky.social · 12hGot another treasure for the hoard. Haven't quite decided whether I'm going to keep using this filter that simulates an s-video connection on a CRT 1110 11
Jim Caris @jimcaris.eurosky.social · 27/10/2026Logistics companies in this part of central Europe seem to use "trans" as short for transport or transportation. Which means I've seen moving vans here emblazoned with things like "Top Trans" and "Trans Team" 110 1
Jim Caris @jimcaris.eurosky.social · 26/10/2026The Guardian's live blog on the Brazilian election is going all out to centre the complaints of the fash losers 4656 65

Jim Caris @jimcaris.eurosky.social · 14/10/2026Shall we pretend you're doing a bit? I'm happy to play along 210 2
Jim Caris @jimcaris.eurosky.social · 11/10/2026This makes it sound like a much more random event than it was in fact 080 8
Jim Caris @jimcaris.eurosky.social · 05/10/2026Popped into a shopping centre last week that was displaying old BMWs for some reason. I know very little about this stuff, but I thought these looked cool. 020 2
Jim Caris @jimcaris.eurosky.social · 04/10/2026This is what consoles should cost after a couple of years 031 3
Jim Caris @jimcaris.eurosky.social · 03/10/2026The American insistence that "check" and "cheque" are the same word made me think this was some new stage of their trans panic 040 4
Jim Caris @jimcaris.eurosky.social · 25/09/2026I noticed a while back that the Telegraph is blatantly two-faced about this, even by the "standards" (ha!) of the British media 010 1

Jim Caris @jimcaris.eurosky.social · 21/09/2026I would have loved to use one of these when it was still current. Shame the MSX wasn't a success in the UK, I literally never saw any model of MSX IRL until long after that era had passed. 130 3
Jim Caris @jimcaris.eurosky.social · 18/09/2026Some of the older Retroid handhelds are at stock-clearance prices rn and the RP Classic for $100 is the kind of bargain you don't really see anymore. I just ordered one of these ones with six face buttons to use as a dedicated Sega machine 230 3
Jim Caris @jimcaris.eurosky.social · 12/09/2026Slightly oddly phrased headline, this, given that every single AfD member and every single AfD voter is a neo-Nazi. It's a neo-Nazi party, so its members and supporters are neo-Nazis by definition 0113 11
Jim Caris @jimcaris.eurosky.social · 12/09/2026I'm guessing FrameRater's YouTube channel has been hacked. A heel turn into AI slop would be surprising, but I'm not going to give those vids any views by checking. AI is just making everything shit, isn't it? The only genuine use case seem to be automating scams and scam-adjacent shit 020 2
Jim Caris @jimcaris.eurosky.social · 08/09/2026I wish for once Sony would just give the people (me) what they want (a Tokyo Jungle sequel) 062 6
Jim Caris @jimcaris.eurosky.social · 08/09/2026Nobody's admitting it, but it seems pretty obvious that the "someone" this judge asked for a list of similar cases was in fact an AI chatbot. And a child abuser served a shortened sentence as a direct result. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... 030 3
Jim Caris @jimcaris.eurosky.social · 05/09/2026CW: Assault. Can't see the faces of most of the people assaulting her, but at one point this guy shoves his fingers in her mouth while the woman is pulling her hair. Someone must know who they are. 55526 55
Jim Caris @jimcaris.eurosky.social · 05/09/2026I'm not sure whether to be proud or embarrassed that I recorded the 67th-highest score in the world on this level of Blood Dungeon (Switch) yesterday 030 3
Jim Caris @jimcaris.eurosky.social · 04/09/2026There was definitely a deliberate editorial decision not to name the pro-slavery countries here. The three pro-slave trade countries were the US, Israel, and Argentina if you're wondering, while the UK was among the abstentions. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/s... 031 3
Jim Caris @jimcaris.eurosky.social · 03/09/2026He actually said "herself" and was consistent in that usage throughout interviews on multiple platforms. He's never, afaik, publicly referred to any other country as "her" (including the one he led). Nobody in the media has ever acknowledged how weird this is. 2263 26
Jim Caris @jimcaris.eurosky.social · 01/09/2026Just got emailed this incredible money-saving offer from a Czech online supermarket. So generous! 1120 12
Jim Caris @jimcaris.eurosky.social · 01/09/2026Ah, no, it seems I've been doing it the correct way according to the instruction manual 120 2
Jim Caris @jimcaris.eurosky.social · 31/08/2026This line in Khan's Guardian piece about the success of ULEZ suggests he's trying to distance himself from the Labour government's environmental record (and fair enough, he kept the policy and was right to do so). It's a pitch for Green votes. But that means that voting Green is working. 130 3
Jim Caris @jimcaris.eurosky.social · 31/08/2026What do you mean "Jim you have a problem". No I don't 220 2
Jim Caris @jimcaris.eurosky.social · 27/08/2026Found my first passport from when I was four, and this is how I signed my name back then (it’s supposed to say Jimmy Caris) 170 7
Jim Caris @jimcaris.eurosky.social · 25/08/2026TOP OF THE LEAGUE! (Yes, it *does* count, shut up) 2100 10
Jim Caris @jimcaris.eurosky.social · 24/08/2026Nah my vote goes for the Lancia Delta in Sega Rally. Look at this happy little guy, he's like "wheee I'm flying" 161 6
Jim Caris @jimcaris.eurosky.social · 23/08/2026Yeah I don't think I'll bother seeing what this discussion is about, cheers though 0110 11
Jim Caris @jimcaris.eurosky.social · 19/08/2026I suspect the Guardian's view is much like the Telegraph's 071 7
Jim Caris @jimcaris.eurosky.social · 09/08/2026Hey Pokémon sickos (complimentary), I want this guy right? 020 2
Jim Caris @jimcaris.eurosky.social · 09/08/2026A bit wasted on me, but I know some of you are Pokémon sickos 160 6
Jim Caris @jimcaris.eurosky.social · 08/08/2026This morning’s fun little time waster: Getting Twilight Princess running dual-screen and with hi-res textures via Dusklight. I like the way the second screen auto-dims in cutscenes and dialogue. 170 7
Jim Caris @jimcaris.eurosky.social · 04/08/2026A fearsome hunter (Geri) and her kill (a toilet roll tube tied to a shoelace) 0150 15
Jim Caris @jimcaris.eurosky.social · 31/07/2026This is just heartbreaking, I can't imagine what kind of mind would find this funny 170 7
Jim Caris @jimcaris.eurosky.social · 29/07/2026I think you need to apologise to flatmates everywhere for your sickening, disgusting call for them to be murdered 2111 11

If your flatmate is slamming doors and talking loud at 5:50am, you're
allowed to kill them, that's law, isn't it?
