My #misterfpga setup. Playing a little Rally-X. Actually it's a #MISTercade with a Jamma harness which makes it easier to wire up a traditional joystick and some extra buttons.

Picked up this print at #vcfmidwest from one of those everything-in-this-box-is-$5 boxes. Not exactly computer related, but I sure was watching a lot of 1970's Spiderman during my #Atari 8-bit days.

Framed print of vintage Spiderman characters.

My favorite King book is Joyland. A ghost story that stays very "normal" most of the way.

I'm off tomorrow so I can drive to Chicago for VCF Midwest, so it might as well be Friday!

Zodypop @zodypop.bsky.social · Sep 11

So excited for my first VCF Midwest! Can't wait to see all the YouTube stars.

Yes! I like my odds against the Gorgs better than reality's current antagonists.

Brings up an interesting question: Which versions of Windows are critical for retro PC builds and which are better left to fade away?

Just finished Severance tonight. Wow, did they stick the landing. Such beautiful weirdness.
