I have a weakness for isometric management games, obscure simulators, irrelevant details of long-dead memory addressing schemes and listening to "The Legend Of Xanadu" more times than is strictly age-appropriate.
Had a fantastic time at the Centre for Computing History's Retro Computer Festival yesterday. Naturally I managed to take about 5 photos, one of which is of a freight train, so instead have this courtesy of @yesterzine.bsky.social showing me in my natural habitat.

Partner claimed there was nothing good in the 7" collection. I would defend, but instead I'll just post the 5 things at the front of Singles Box B and let you judge.

All the new achievements in the expansion set me back for a while, but once more I have the true Factorio perfect game.

You know how some people take extended breaks from social media for healthy, soul-enriching purposes, often involving the touching of grass and the refreshing feeling of not being exposed to negativity and anger?
Oops.

First Pulp record I bought, and latest. I have not spoiled myself by listening to anything other than the advance singles on streaming so it's going to be a proper first listen all the way through on physical media.
(Well. One break to flip sides.)

My weekend productivity has mostly gone towards adding a variety of drawbar trailers for early 20th century trucks in Timberwolf's UK Road Vehicles. (This might have swallowed less of the weekend had I not forgotten how to avoid consuming all available Action2s when adding trailers)

Well, so much for cleaning out the second singles box so there would be plenty of room for further expansion.

"Why is it taking an age to get through 1984 Matt? Why?"
(Also possibly not helped by me having to drop what I was doing and *immediately* order an original 7" copy of "Come Back" by The Mighty Wah!)

Name the official Queen video/TOTP appearance...
![A screenshot of text describing an official Queen music video:
Mercury stands awkwardly in a suit, Brian May appears to have been annoyed by someone changing all the settings on his keyboard two minutes before he went on stage, the lights in Roger Taylor's drum corner keep going off like an over-eager motion sensor in a toilet, John Deacon hasn't got the memo about the dress code, and behind all this all a screen displays computer-sequenced lights which are as unrelated to whatever else is going on as they were probably state of the art for [the year].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hrn667t5bggkaopq4qq4wqc2/bafkreic4wge4yi734n2whcdbdmjtnbjjegqrwn4moxcb3wz27trye5royy@jpeg)

This morning's workplace soundtrack. The singles from this were decently big hits - Runaway Boys and Rock This Town on the hype sticker were both #9, and Stray Cat Strut would reach #11 in May '81.
Some of this might be familiar to those who played Alley Cat.

I found my other childhood I-Spy book. Predictably enough, "Cars". Good thing I already collected these, as good luck finding any of the 5-pointers in it outside of a Festival of the Unexceptional these days. The most likely here now is the Beetle!

Box gone through. Surprisingly small discard pile although I did allow a lot of forgettable '80s soft rock a free pass on the basis it was in nice condition and had a picture sleeve.
Main reasons for rejection are poor condition, duplicates, and that I can't stand Anthony Newley.

You'd be disappointed if you cracked open a junk shop box of records and *didn't* find it, wouldn't you?

I guess that solves the "where do you hold it without getting your oily fingerprints all over the grooves"?
The usual "ah yeah, that's why they released it in a novelty format" applies upon listening, sadly.
