Who is the tradie marketing genius telling people to put fridge magnets in really poorly disguised mail? 🙄🙄🙄

We get like 2 of these a week in the mail. So wasteful.

Finally got around to setting up my retro gaming station in the corner of my office again.

For ease of use and superior UI, I switched over to Batocera from Retropie.

Added some headphones and mood lighting for sound and fun.

I was curious how it knew about the evolutions as they're not in the API response from the pokemon api, turns out it just filled in the details itself! Neat

(maybe I need to try on a data set it wouldn't know about so it doesn't do this)

Been playing with @anthropic.com's MCP tonight, I made a simple MCP Server that can get info about Pokemon. Plugged it into the desktop app and it can answer questions right away...

Very cool.
