Any chance that YT will ever learn that I ALWAYS click "none of the above" to these surveys?
Retro workshop garage update. Have put battens on a very uneven garage wall that is shared with the house. The void will be used to route some electrical cables etc before plasterboard is installed. Need to work out how to box off an old external drain pipe. #garage #retrogaming #retrocomputing
🕹️ EᑎGᗩGEᔕᗷᖇᗩIᑎ 🎮@engagesbrain.bsky.social · 3w agoSecond stud wall is now up along the outside wall of the garage. Wall is single brick so sealed with liquid damp proof and the timber all has membrane tape on the back. Stud wall will be insulated and vapour sealed before plasterboard is added. A good days work. #garage #retrogaming #retrocomputing

🕹️ EᑎGᗩGEᔕᗷᖇᗩIᑎ 🎮@engagesbrain.bsky.social · last mo.Finally started to build the hobby/retro workshop I've wanted for years. Plan is to cut the garage in two. Front remains garage but the rear becomes part of the house. Floor and exterior wall have been sealed and I've made good progress on the stud wall today. #garage #retrogaming #retrocomputing

Here's the latest Vectrex Mini controller prototype. 🕹️🔥 The design is now finalized, featuring the analog stick and battery compartment. Next up: the injection-molded production model.
Another absolute banger of a video and this #MiSTer handheld project looks absolutely superb. These guys are knocking it out of the park time and time again. @retrocollective.co.uk #retrogaming #retrogamer youtu.be/GdR8SYuUB34?...

Just spent nearly an hour going in and out of 5 pubs with 8 other guys to find somewhere to watch the footy. All 5 had pre-reserved every table in the place. And every one of them virtually empty because of course people don't need to show up early to get space. Those owners are absolutely fools.
The past & the future. You will pay more, own nothing, and be happy with what you get. Bleak times ahead for many gamers. #playstation #disc #ownnothing
PS2 price in Nov 2000: £299. PS2 Slim price in Oct 2004: £99. PS5 price £359 in Nov 2020. PS5 slim price today: £519. What the bloody hell went wrong.....
Well that's just perfect. Air con is broken at my office so that means I've got to stay at home for the next 3 days. FFS. 😂#heatwave
My daughter had friends over last night to celebrate end of GCSEs. They discussed the social media ban. Their conclusions: - Broad support in principle. - Curfew for 16 & 17yr olds is daft. - YouTube should be excluded. - It should be unlocked based on school year, not when each kid turns 16.
As these rely on having a dead chip, this is the last one I currently have - a framed SAM Coupe ASIC chip - the custom silicon chip designed by Bruce Gordon in 1989 that powers the #SAMCoupe computer. Perfect wall art for your computer room! www.ebay.co.uk/itm/11714471... #retrogaming #computing
I'm more impressed with the work @retrocollective.co.uk and @heber-limited.bsky.social are doing as each year goes by. Long video but absolutely worth watching the whole thing. Bravo Sirs. #mister #retrogaming #retrocomputing youtu.be/arSnNwDQS2k?...

Right under our noses all along! The long "lost" #Commodore64 Codemasters game Magnum Force has finally been fully preserved today thanks to Nostalgia, after being hidden on the Codemasters CD compilation and undetected for over 30 years. Check it out at: www.gamesthatwerent.com/gtw64/magnum...
For some reason #blockbuster seems to be trending over on the other place. People are nostalgic for it for some reason. I think maybe these are the only good things that ever came out of a Blockbuster. 😁 #retrogaming #retrogamer #retrocomputing
Over the last six months, I've written histories of the 26 games to have reached #1 in the UK charts during 1986: superchartisland.com/timeline/#1986 Here is a thread on what I learned, with links to each post!

A thread for retro collecting missed opportunities and regrets. No. 2: The mystery of my missing Tomytronic 3D collection. After several house moves over 40 years only Sky Attack remains. I have no idea how the rest were lost: Thundering Turbos Planet Zeon Shark Attack Sky Fighters #retrogaming
