From Grimace's brief attempt to "Get Physical."

Had a great time on Retro Repair Roundup last night. It was nice to hear about the fun projects that our friends in the vintage computer community are working on. This episode marks our one month hiatus, and we'll return with new episodes in early August! www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoBd...

This is still the premiere platform for video chatting with Lukas Haas in a wig. Him, not you.

I wonder how many shopping carts this guy has stolen?

Me: <upload video> {two seconds pass} YT: You’re doing a bad job!

Let's talk about INIT HELLO w/ Cat and Paul (July 26–27, 2025)! youtu.be/65Rqmww_lsg

The video from my talk at VCF East 2025, "Making a Hardware Emulator for a Legendary PC Sound Card" is now on YouTube! www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTLA...

I'm late to season two of Andor but glad nobody spoiled the scene where a weeping Watto begs forgiveness for a career of human trafficking right before his execution.

Well, I did it. Bad Apple on the #F256K2 from #Foenix Retro Systems. 80x60 text mode, 20 fps, native mp3 playback with its VS1053b onboard chip. all in glorious 8-bit 6502 mode. Never knew how to do a "Bad Apple" implementation, so I sat down, and learned by doing it! youtu.be/y1wAiKe50Ao

Please don't make me regret this? www.cameo.com/ronmcadams

Friday, June 13th is the only Friday the 13th in 2025. Hug your mom.

What Mark doesn't understand is that the CHUDs that have made other social media sites uninhabitable - aren't owed a new target to destroy. They should just stay in the Hells they've already created for themselves. Mark is mad that he can't monetize hate on @bsky.app fortune.com/2025/06/12/b...

Will I get wrecked by the creator of the Glider series in a head to head competition to see who confuses the battery and rubber band keys first?? Likely. But there's only one way to find out! (Many thanks to @engineersneedart.com for agreeing to give this a shot!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=hF1g...

Does anybody possibly have one of these style cases often used in the early days of gaming for the Macintosh?

The writers of 'The Matrix' could not be reached for comment. www.dexerto.com/entertainmen...

Lord, give me the confidence of some goofball trying to sell an untested bootleg floppy of Dark Castle for $30. Amen.

Programming classic Macs? Don't mind if I yes! www.youtube.com/watc...

It's true.

I was traveling for a week and intended to work on CDROM support for #PicoGUS while on the road but forgot the charger for my Pocket386, whoops. Now I'm home. Back in the day I liked how the opening FMV in Return to Zork called back to the original text adventures while saying LOOK AT OUR CD POWER

Speaking of trying to get something to 5K subscribers... www.youtube.com/@RonsCompVids/

5K followers? Thanks, gang!

A $15 billion dollar investment in AGI could finally get the King's Quest series back off the ground! /s @oneshorteye.bsky.social e.bsky.social @aghotspot.bsky.social ky.social @spacequesthistorian.com an.com

I'm starting to think Apple is just messing with us in terms of hardware compatibility.
