Vintage gaming and randomness, mostly. I did work in the videogame industry and yet, still manage to keep my passion intact, somehow :p

The further away I get from active use of a PS4 Pro (popping in a 3D movie atm) the harder it is to remember where power/eject are, and which if the many dumb grooves is where the disc goes. The microscopically dark icons on a dark system don’t help either.

Can everyone please wish a happy 35th birthday to our definitely not insain but slightly evilly reprogrammed toothy overlord Cyber-Lip, who 1st appeared on the Neo Geo MVS back on November 7th 1990🎂

Cyber-Lip himself, stating that "I am not insain. I have just been evilly reprogrammed"

Complètement espanté par la modernité de ces représentations graphiques du mouvement des planètes autour du soleil en fonction du temps. La plus ancienne est de Bède le vénérable (début du VIIIe siècle) et on les trouve dans divers manuscrits de l'époque carolingienne et des XI/XIIe siècles

Ms Latin 5239, folio 39 r.from the medieval encyclopedia Liber floridus ("Book of flowers'), completed in 1121, represents the movements of the Sun, the Moon, and the five known planets through the sky over time. Although it draws on a graphical tradition dating back to Pliny the Elder, the diagram's style and detail break new ground, evoking a modern infographic. Indeed, the display of celestial information here is remarkably similar to the kinds of charts used by today's skygazers.

The diagram in a scientific miscellany made in the late 11th or early 12th century takes yet another approach, mapping planets’ orbits onto a sort of graph. The sun’s regular appearance in the sky here contrasts with the other planets’ (and the moon's) more variable appearances over days, months and years.Manuscrit 347
