I have laser engraved a black keycap a bit deeper, painted the legends with model paint, let it dry for a week and brushed the excess off with the Dremel and a 300 grid tool. The final touch was wiping the surface with isopropanol and a nano sponge.

I think I stumbled upon one of the coolest things I thrifted in a long while today, something I’ve never seen before too - a 8086 microcontroller development board! (assembly manual included)

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.

Well, we did it - more than $250k for game devs who have been laid off, to be distributed by @videogameworkers.bsky.social. Congratulations and thanks to everyone who donated their time, games, and money to help folks out in a time of need.

This one took me really long (literally several days), but the ezBuff did pull it off! Ultimate Spider-man for PS2 succesfully restored and 100% ripped. Deep scratches and pits had me had to resurface it twice, and buff all the way back to fully shiny.

not gonna lie, I'm actually really excited to share this soon! 😂 A few of you are in the know, and I love that the reply has unanimously been "oh, I did not expect that, but that's amazing!". Last detail before release: It's a tool, not a replica as you would have expected from me!

chatting about this project has been very fun, i hope people are excited for it, i feel theirs a real need for it and it opens up a discussion around how exploitative current options are.

"Why are people so negative about the economy?" Consider this. There are two possibilities: 1) He's right and my livelihood is screwed. Maybe not 18 months but soon. 2) He's full of shit, it won't happen, and AI is a giant bubble that will crash the economy. Why would I feel good about either?

full disclosure: disc was bought 2nd hand, I don’t know it’s usage/storage history Is this the first signs of disc rot on ‘newer’ consoles? White swirls on the internal layers of this wii game (PAL smash bros Brawl, nintendo published!). This could be bad for collectors 😢 cc @timeextension.com

Some minor adjustments for @pointerfunction.bsky.social to fix, otherwise fits great 😁 The Sovol SV08 Max for me printed great. yes there are VFDs but thats because i never calibrated it for them 😂. I did buy a chamber heater for it, pain to fit as i need to access under it and its heavy and big
