I just kinda assume all these AI ports/recomps etc have malware and/or crypto miners in them somewhere given how trivial it would be for them to add such things. Possibly unfounded, but I'm pretty bloody wary of even trying the stuff.

PicoPak for #MasterSystem gets REWIND! World's first real hardware Rewind in a flashcart. No one else does it anywhere for any console. Give this a like and repost if you want to see this same thing brought to the PCEngine and TurboGrafx16.

Also acquired, a functional PC with 24GB of DDR3 and a GTX970. 2nd generation i5 though, but still kinda useful as long as I don't want to run Windows 11, which I don't.

Also scored these, both of which also work but the only pair of LR44 batteries I have died. Never seen the Casio one before. Looks vaguely X-Wing like.

Yesterday I released an album with no pre-hype. No video visualizers. No marketing. Just released it because I needed to, and I liked it. I literally could not find time and energy to make all the supporting media. I’d love to hear how you like it. It’s weird and dark. Share with your weirdos. Pls

The wiring loom in my Alfa to get everything to work properly with an accessory headunit. Lots of stuff I don't need/want unfortunately, but even so, what a rats nest.

Today involved: Police dog training (Puppies!) Discussion of the relative merits of Arabic/Aramaic/Hebrew & preferred associated spirits. Emergency stop on the highway to deal with parts of vehicle detaching at 110Km/Hr. Minor injury due to the former. Pub beers. Pizza. Gadgetry. 8/10.

Public Service Announcement for anybody using Windows 11 and an LG monitor (and probably other manufacturers and devices soon): Watch this video, as LG silently installs adware/spyware, and the only way to prevent it from reinstalling is to edit policies (see video). www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9ue...

Finally got around to watching Buckaroo Banzai, it's totally insane, I loved it. Also; what a cast!

Finally watched Project Hail Mary. Straight into my top 10. I laughed, I cried. It's absolutely delightful, and I look forward to the eventual 225 minute director's cut showing up on the BluRay!

Can't boot into my OS because the latest update broke it, can't uninstall the update because it's trying to install an update. Predictably, "Start-up Repair" achieved sweet FA. Time for a reformat I guess. There goes this weekend...

"Insecure Delusion" (Tool covers band) and "Down with the System" (SOAD covers band) last night. Both were excellent. Also: The $10 after 10pm burgers that Loosies do are surprisingly good.

Typical, gave the spare old microwave away to a charity a couple of weeks ago and now the other one has died, again. When did microwaves go from lasting for decades to being unreliable rubbish?! They're essentially still the same wartime technology behind the scenes...

Ever wondered what a cake made with a cup of baking powder in it other than a teaspoon tastes like? I no longer need to. It tastes _really_ bad.
