It’s hard to believe not everyone does this
if you're an nba player in the middle of a game, i think what you really need to do is take a long, hard look at the basketball. every game has got one. figure out who has it, and what you need to do to get hold of it. put it through the basket and you could score yourself two points, maybe more

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

I ran into Cilian Murphy on the street. I have read how shy he is so I restrained myself from saying anything and we ended up just nodding at each other.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

Man, remember Trespasser? That game had such potential. My poor heart as a child was crushed when that game released as a such a buggy mess. I really wanted to believe.

And on that night, Ebenezer Sega, CEO of Sega, was visited by three spirits:
1. The Ghost of Christmas in America, who recommended they make the 32X
2. The Ghost of Christmas Japan, who recommended they make the Sega Saturn
3. The Ghost of Christmas Brazil, who just wanted more Master System

One surprise for me in 2025 is that it feels like most of the online services and software I use have gotten worse. A notable exception is @kagi.com. This is a service I gladly pay for and has measurably improved throughout 2025. If you are frustrated with search, you have to try it.

What’s one feature or attribute you hear about in a video game that you know is an immediate turn off for you? For me, “deck builder.”

One fun thing about learning how to solder is now I can fix stuff that before would have meant sending something in for service. A kid dropped my Steam Deck and broke the left bumper button. I ordered a replacement button for €7, desoldered the broken one, soldered on the new, and it works great!

Just got my “for parts, untested” Game Boy Pocket. All ready to build @nataliethenerd.com’s Build A Boy (buildaboy.co) when it is ready!

A few weeks ago I ordered a long male to male SCART cable off Amazon so I could tidy up my retro setup a little bit. It was awful. The image was garbage. So much noise. I returned it and ordered the same length cable from @retro-access.com and the image is gorgeous. You get what you pay for, folks.

My Analogue Pocket’s D-Pad has always bothered me. I could never seem to get good diagonal movement and it felt unresponsive. So I used a DMG game boy D-Pad, some small round stickers, and blue tack to fix it. While at it, I replaced the buttons with clear ones. Works great now!

For #randomgamesaturday I have Silent Hill. Despite living in Europe, this one’s an NTSC copy. It was one of those times where someone was trying to offload their American copy of the game and it was cheaper than the going rate for a PAL version. My other two Silent Hill games (2 & 3) are PAL.

If anyone is interested in trying @kagi.com for free for 3 months, let me know. I am not exaggerating when I say that Kagi has fixed everything that is wrong with search on the Internet today and is worth every single penny.

I did not realize there was an Everdrive 64 software update specifically for the Analogue 3D. Now all of my dumped games work great in Unleashed overlocking mode and I have no issues with saves anymore. I had always been bummed by MegaMan 64 compared to the PS1 version and now it runs just as good.

I’ve only had a little time to play it but I have to say I am very impressed with the Analogue 3D and can see me using it a lot. I have an original N64 (RGB modded) connected to a CRT and a MiSTer with the N64 core but the Analogue 3D really feels like an enhancement of that original experience.
