It's October, so I'm going to play a bunch of short, spooky games. Starting with FAITH:The Unholy Trinity store.steampowered.com/app/1179080/... Got any recommendations? Trying to keep playtime under 10 hours if possible!

Finally started playing Skate Story and not only is it one of the most beautiful games you'll ever see but it FEELS great. I wouldn't normally gravitate toward a skateboarding game but it's very accessible, get it while it's on sale!

If you haven’t started your UFO 50 journey I highly recommend playing each game along with the @secretlivesofgames.bsky.social podcast and dedicate a week to each game. Great way to spent a year and get into each game one at a time

Went on a long 19 month journey with UFO 50 from building the LX in January 2025 to installing it at @wonderville.nyc to cosplaying as Woogy at @magfest.org and it’s finally done- 50 cherries. What a ride. What a game. Thank you @mossmouth.bsky.social

Looking into making a giant trackball. Something like 8-10” in diameter. Anyone have references for something like this? Would prefer to use rotary encoders instead of an optical mouse so thinking roller bearings on the underside. Sketch by @just404it.bsky.social

We're overdue for ConEd oversight. We lost power for 48 hours in January and our bill is HIGHER than usual? How do they keep getting away with this? @chiosse.bsky.social @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social i'm sure we're not the only ones affected by loss of revenue due to ConEd's negligence.

Mark Kleeb @kleeb.bsky.social · 17/01/2026

For the back panel, I cut two keyholes for mounting and cut vent holes in what would become the "door" (though I opted to just leave this panel off for MAGFest) In retrospect I should have cut some vent holes in the top and sides as well, as the PC gives off a fair bit of heat in the small space

000

Mark Kleeb @kleeb.bsky.social · 17/01/2026

I didn't anticipate the size of the power supply for the PC so I had to sand it down to fit in the laser-cut hole

100

Mark Kleeb @kleeb.bsky.social · 17/01/2026

Instead of the Circuit Playground which is what the jam suggests for beginners, I used the Adafruit Itsy Bitsy board which also allows for HID inputs. The code uses the Keyboard library in Arduino to simulate key presses for each switch (switch on= key held down)

Mark Kleeb @kleeb.bsky.social · 17/01/2026

I used makercase.com to design an acrylic box using my Glowforge laser cutter and 1/4" acrylic. The LCD screen had four mounting holes, so I created two struts that spanned the width of the box to hold it in place. Here's what the guts look like

Mark Kleeb @kleeb.bsky.social · 17/01/2026

In Discord, the devs voted for light switches so I set out to design the cabinet using 5 light switches, a button for "confirm" and buttons to select games from the launcher. There's a build guide on the Flip Out itch page if you want to build your own! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

The screen can be powered via USB-C so it's plugged into the PC for power. I had to get a right-angle HDMI because the port is on the side of the screen and needed to conserve space. I got a USB-C panel mount extension to plug in the power supply to the computer

110

Mark Kleeb @kleeb.bsky.social · 17/01/2026

I had a 7" screen kicking around from prototyping mini Scrapeboard and I bought a teeny tini mini PC that I knew would fit inside the cabinet. Here are the links for those: a.co/d/a5w2UyD a.co/d/d3enzfu
