Got a ZX-VGA-Joy. They're really nifty, and nice to use with native monitor modes. It does have one drawback. I can't use a DivMMC with it. Luckily I have options. ☺️

I have a C64C but the sound chip doesn't hit like a Breadbins does. The lovely Mr. @dantootill.bsky.social has very kindly built and sent me a SIDKick Pico! 😲 I'm rather looking forward to testing it out this weekend. 😍

I have a new printer. Something seemed really familiar about it. I've finally figured out what it is and have labelled it appropriately. It is now a Super Printendo. πŸ˜‚

The compressor tripped my breakers and weirdly, the pins in the plug were leaking to ground. I was just about to do my semi-annual PC case blowout too. I replaced the lead, gave it a full service and 3d printed a better air filter than some tights and elastic bands. πŸ˜‚ The PCs are now clean. πŸ™‚

...and they didn't send a shipping label so the driver couldn't take it. I'm still stuck with it! 😯 I really would rather use my patience for something a little more fun. @creality3d.bsky.social - Please advise .

Rebuilding my emulator pc into a nicer case after being a media PC stand in. A gentle pull removed the usb3 cable... ...and the socket from the board. Whoops. πŸ˜‚

Movies you've watched more than six times, using gifs only.

This is a spookily accurate representation of my working day thus far... πŸ˜‚

Question for the Commodore crew - I have a C64C (8580) but prefer the sound of the breadbin (6581). Is there a good SID replacement that will allow a C64C to sound like a breadbin? I have fussy ears, for instance, Wizball on the breadbin makes my hairs stand on end, the 64C leaves me flat. πŸ™‚
