They never made pink Super Nintendos, and no one makes a pink aftermarket shell either, so today I dyed a clear shell to make the pink SNES of my dreams!

The vibes were exquisite yesterday evening. #photography #sunset

UBI. WE ALL need Universal Basic Income, immediately. Want ANY form of art to continue being made? Movies? Music? Comics? Tv? Games? ANY creativity? Never let anyone devalue the arts, no matter the quality. Everyone starts somewhere. It takes time, and support. Fight for UBI. TAX THE RICH.

Apple: we heard you wanted fun coloured machines so the new macbook air is sky blue!!! me: that is 2% saturation at best wtaf

Saw this behind the scenes news piece on Space Ghost and it is incredible that it was entirely done using analog tech and nothing digital. The idea of reusing 30 year old animation in this context was a first too. They basically created a whole new animation process from scratch for the show.

EMILY'S BACK! 😃 OH GLORIOUS DAY 🧡

Sad to see one of your gaming heroes fall into hard times.

100% this. GenAI is a poison which taints everything and it just screams LAZY TAT for everything associated with it. Youtube thumbnails I'm glaring at you as well for this.

I've been trying to understand why I feel the particular flavor of distressed that I do right now. I think it's because we can no longer discuss the lessons we should be learning from any kind of disaster without the worst chucklefucks coming out of the woodwork to wreck everything.

We all have an emotional support, dead, famous guy and who he is says a lot about you.

@plextv.bsky.social Hey, how difficult would it be to maybe add an option in the settings to ADD noise to low-res content? A lot of 480p and lower often has noticeable compression artifacting. I used to add noise in MPC to hide it back in the day, I'd love to do it here too!

Sorry to steal from Tumblr but this is so accurate it actually made me cry. The "paralysis of will" described here is the most painful symptom of my ADHD.

To celebrate the 25h anniversary of Y2K, here is a Year 2000 ISA Compliance card. 😅

Time to show off. This is everything I crocheted this year! 🧶🪝

512! What a great number! 🧡

imagine if people went to retailers and just took stuff and called it "generative shopping" and then, when the retailers said that's illegal, people said "regular shopping is too expensive so we have disrupted it" and then the retailers were like "OH! Carry on, innovators!"

THIS IS SO COOL

Ohh, love this imperial trash can!

Incredibly advanced but notoriously finnicy to maintain, Virtual Worlds eschewed traditional VR headsets by putting players in a "monitor cell" to allow players multiple views of the action, providing international multiplayer at a time home consoles were still in the 8-bit era.

I want to continue a thread I started "a while ago" at Twitter with some of the smallest and underrated youtubers I follow thanks to my passion, the retro computing world, with no particular order off course. Please let me know about your favourite small and unknown channels: #RetroComputing
