I knew the future was bunk the first time I had to press and hold a power button.

I knew I had to have a Cosam Neptune to play 32X and Genesis games, but I needed help transfering the custom chips. So I called in a pro! @ohpoorpup.bsky.social nailed it and apprised me throughout. Beautiful! Check out that subtle cartridge slot shave on my Model 2 case to fit 32X carts!

Atari 7800 actually has a few good games, but this is the worst controller I have ever tried.

Republicans: Our childish, dementia-addled madman can send you to a death camp on a whim Centrist Democrats: I can't think of any compelling arguments about that, so I will talk about tariffs instead

Bleak. Validates every suspicion that Republicans know how to speak to persuadable uninformed voters and Democrats don’t. First time I’ve heard 40% conservative / 40 independent / 20 liberal. No wonder Dems keep targeting the center.

Okay, my mod backlog is now on a shelf, but it's three deep and I've already forgotten what's in back.

Battle Bakraid gets a lot of hate from shmup pros because optimal scoring requires tactical suicide. But weird scoring doesn’t bother me since I’m still playing for survival 😂

Workbench gore: the ugliest way to re-flash a Neo Geo V3 161-in-1 cart, with the CPLD +5v powered by a hacked USB cable. But it worked!

Ebay seller claimed this PC Engine GT was recapped and working, but it's full of ancient, leaky caps. 2/3 HuCards I tried didn't boot. The terminals would be trivial to fix, but it seems unlikely the seller tested with batteries. Hopefully the return goes through.
