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!
Film you’ve seen more than six times. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

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?

I spent today modifying toys so they can be used by children with disabilities at Santa’s Little Hackers. What a cool group that puts on this event! A huge room with people sewing, disassembling, soldering, and testing adapted toys. www.santaslittlehackers.com

If you could name one person who ABSOLUTELY exemplified the title of "True Macintosh enthusiast," who would you say?



Sure. Yes. Absolutely. All excellent choices!

Here's an interview with 65Scribe instead.

Keeper update!
▪️Noir mode!
▪️Ultrawide monitor support!
▪️New accessibility features!

You would think a colorful game like Keeper would loose a lot going black & white, but this version has been tuned by @leepetty.bsky.social himself so it really highlights the drama. (As well as his love for AC/DC.)
