Today, between meetings, I RGB modded a Sega Master System 2. As ya do.

The face I make when I open my front door and find out it's a group of god bothers...

Found this cursed Sailor ornament. Looks like he came from the Lighthouse film

What's with the whole "please help my child" spam accounts today !? Hopefully a load of them will reply to this post so I can report them :P

Between 23rd June and 22nd July, I apparently imported £20 of electricity. I, however, exported £90's worth.

Not Bad. Thumbsup.

ALT: Not Bad. Thumbsup.

I have found all my PSP UMD's, I have found my PSP charger... I have not found the PSP. I've gone through EVERY box in my loft. I guess I'll have to go through the boxes in the garage, even though I'm pretty sure they're only full of 3d printing stuff. GAAAAHHHHH

Just uninstalled Tarkov. Actually kinda therapeutic and freeing.

Fixed it - there was a TINY piece of solder between a VCC and the neighbouring VSS pin. Now to replace the RGB flex I ripped out and try again I guess ?

Attempted to RGB mod an N64... ended up killing the N64 somehow. At least it was one I bought from CEX and not a childhood one - so don't have any emotional attachment to it. But man, that's the first time I've had a catastrophic failure when modding a console :( Ego has been hit :(

I wish there was an "I couldn't give a fuck about football" filter for the internet you could just enable and it filtered everything (news, ads, social media etc). I guess you could also have a "I don't give a fuck about politics" one too. Business idea... :thinking:

The irony of Microsoft saying that Xbox division is struggling due to components being more expensive these days... yet are one of the leading reasons WHY components are more expensive cos of their AI obsession.

Every time Youtube "recommends" a channel to me that has an AI thumbnail (they ALL look the same - i.e. utter shit), I choose the "Do not recommend channel" option :P

"Switch to Linux" undefeated as the all-time most dork-ass unhelpful response

So Commodore, the "we're stopping people from just putting a Commodore logo on utter tat" have just announced... a flip phone. Which looks like an AliExpress product - for FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS. Looking forward to their branded toaster next.

"Linux Desktop" people amuse me. They belittle anyone who isn't using Linux as their desktop OS, but then spend a vast amount of their time making it look like another OS entirely. Why not just use that other OS ?

Youtube's algorithm is useless. I accidentally watched less than 2 seconds of a video that had Ricky Gervais in it, and now all my recommendations are about him and "After Life"...

Does anyone else find it weird that, of the 13 countries that begin with the letter A, only 2 of them don't also END with the letter A. Plus, ALL continents that begin with an A also end in an A (don't you go saying "BUT AMERICAS ENDS IN AN S"). Yes this kept me up last night.

Is this the aftershave you'd loot while in Tarkov ?

New aftershave in Lidl: gives you the precise aroma of a widowed policeman investigating the murder of his daughter, drawn into a wide-ranging political conspiracy involving nuclear weapons.

Hey @aptshadow.bsky.social - I know these are usually up in the air and generally undecided, but any plans to do a signing at a Waterstones in South Devon (such as Exeter or Plymouth) ?

Getting into retro computers and consoles has drastically improved my: - soldering - electronics understanding - diagnostics - patience If anyone tells you that your hobbies are crap, tell them to sod off.

This, 100 times over. I am tired of Youtube thinking I am now dedicating my life to knowing what Americans think of the UK because I watched one video one time out of curiosity. It's like Amazon thinking I need 10 more toilet seats after I've already bought one.

"There are going to be a LOT of people who don't get this one." is actually a sign we have hung up at CEEFAUX Towers.

Hey @topvint.co.uk - do you do diagnostics ? I have a pre-modded Saturn that shows a black screen and doesn't show any drive movement (laser or spinning). Need someone to take a look if poss ?

If Gamestop buys eBay, then that's going to be the end of eBay.

I just attempted to lessen the amount of cable spaghetti behind all my retro consoles. What I actually did was grab a handful of cables, put a velcro cable tie around them and repeated that several times. I've now decided to just embrace the chaos :P

Hello, my name is Mr Al Ternator... what am I being charged with ?
