I was gifted this amazing latchhook embellished pillow from a long time supporter and friend. I cannot imagine all of the hours that was required to make something so beautiful. I am at a loss for words. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Censorship concerns aside, can we just admit that someone played Fallout 3's Tranquility Lane and was like "I can make this way weirder."

Putting together a short dos trivia quiz video for a holiday event with friends. 10 questions from easy to tough. Assuming it goes well, I'll post it to my YouTube channel afterwards.
As usual, I'm over-engineering the thing. 😕 Have spent 10+ hours in production thus far.

It always struck me as strange that Kenny Loggins just hung out in bed at a Motel 6 singing about Tom Cruise flying jets to "the danger zone."

I am a huge fan of the Doobie Bounce! If I had to pick a single a single track that captures the mood, it's Robbie Dupree's "Steal Away." That electric guitar (which sounds like a sitar on the track) is just amazing.
I mean, it got legal action from Michael McDonald's publisher -It's that good!

Thread: One of the communities I hang around in is focused around Yacht Rock (specifically the hosts of the web series and their current projects). Members of this community host their own radio shows and it's introduced me to a lot of music I'd otherwise never heard of before…

I was the guest on Retro Computer Roundup Episode 89. Had a fun talk with @museumjoe.bsky.social and @ronscompvids.bsky.social about Commodores, retro repairs, YouTube shenanigans, hills to die on, lips, and pretty much everything in-between.

Methodology has changed so much since then. I have no doubt that badly done restoration efforts don't last or run the risk of damaging the thing that was "restored."

A 10-year study indicates that treated surfaces turn yellow more severely than untreated plastic parts — retrobrighting does more harm than good to consoles

The Venn diagram of people that spent most of the early 2000s complaining that if Steam ever went down that they’d lose their game collections and people that have gone all in on AI appliances is a circle.
Can you imagine the entire generation of "built on AI" hardware that's going to be completely bricked when these companies eventually start to disappear?
