Spent the evening cleaning up and fixing this guy! Flowed some new solder into the old joints, wiped down the button contacts, and scrubbed away a whole bunch of battery corrosion. Also pulled a piece of scotch tape off the pcb?

Picked up a 2-blade window fan from goodwill for $2 a few weeks back. It's supposed to have intake, exhaust, and exchange settings, but it only seems to be able to do exchange - left blade is always exhaust, right is always intake. Controls are push-button digital. Wondering how hard it'd be to fix.

It occurs to me that many people don't know about the GameFan coffee incident.
In 1993, GameFan published a manic 6-page review of the game Cybermorph that was written while tripping on LSD that somebody put in the office coffee pot
The review declared that Cybermorph was the first "real" game

Got this on whilst crashed for the evening and the Drac's Night Out bit came on, and it was really kinda surreal to have mentions of my childhood experience and family just like sorta casually pop up out there in a youtube documentary vid. I do remember answering questions about it a while back tho.

Dropped this in my local retro game FB group, but for visibility: Anyone Seattle have a busted NES controller they're willing to part with? It can be quite literally broken in half; the more destroyed, the better. I honestly really just need the wire but don't want to take apart a good controller.

This Skeletor has been memed 100 times but not until I was replicating him did I notice that in a stroke of either incompetence or genius the original renderer of this image decided to make hiseye socket and nose hole just be the same hole. But it still reads right if you don’t think about it.

Hey Linux peeps, any idea what's going on here? *ONE* of my displays has right third or so shifted down by ~ 1-2 pixels. Photo 'cuz this does not appear when captured via Spectacle. Doesn't do this in Windows. Doesn't do this on the other monitor (same model.) Happens on multiple USBC->HDMI docks.

Never forget: After executives almost sank the Sonic The Hedgehog movie by giving its main character a disturbing human child body and realistic teeth, they called in The Fixer to rework its art direction.
That man: Tyson Hesse. Creator of Nipples The Enchilada. The man who saved the Sonic movie.
