Retro gamer and Atari fan. The Jaguar is the best console ever made, and the Falcon is the best home computer.😁 Also own and enjoy Commodore, Acorn and other great retro stuff.

I don't think it's worth the Β£24 they charge normally, but Β£14 for a keyring (albeit large keyring accessory) power bank seems about right. I bought another for my wife, too.

I very seldom recommend products, but a few weeks ago I was at my son's two hour long chess club, and my headphones were completely dead. So I searched for a small power bank and found Pulse, so I ordered a Β£14 imperfect. It arrived 100% perfect.

I'm sure I looked at getting that exact model, but I did what my obsessive nature does and searched until I found one or two bad reviews.😁 I'm now a LOT better than I used to be. I know constantly remind myself that focussing on and/or searching for the negatives only needs to procrastination.

Or is it a dedicated scope?

Just a reminder that this is actually a real thing that really exists and was really made.

I remember watching it with my son when he was about 5 or 6, and he would not believe me that Kiss are real (admittedly they do have super powers in the movie).

How or why it ever got made? Who knows?

My middle school had one, and my high school had four or five.

That's what I thought. My son and my wife think it's two separate scams. It can't be though, because I'm going to use some of the BMW money to pay the $450 the FBI needs to release the money they've got for me. If anything, I'm the scammer in this scenario.

This has to be the most awesome week ever! I've had an email from Kash Patel saying I'm owed $1.5 million and another from BMW saying I've won a BMW 7 series plus a cheque for $1.5 million.
THREE MILLION DOLLARS AND A BRAND NEW CAR!!! Now all I need to do is send them my bank details.πŸ™ƒ

FromFB: FFS.... so AI is now eating RAM, SSDs and NOW normal HDDs.

AI really needs to fuck off, all it's doing is giving us shitty results and making "everything" more expensive.

AI is basically screwing us all. And using our data to it.

I NEED to get it. I now need to acquire a laptop that's powerful enough so I can play it on my Quest 3.

Oh my days!!! There's a VR mod for the System Shock remake. Why did nobody tell me about this? Does anyone have any ideas what kind of laptop would I need to get this running? My laptop is about 10 years old, so I'm gonna need something newer than that.

System Shock (2023 video game) - Wikipedia

There was a remake of System Shock that came out in 2023.
I wish someone would bring it out for the Quest 3. That would be F*CKING AMAZING. Why has no-one done that already? I'd pay Β£100 for it.

Oh oh oh oh oh ... One of THE BEST games EVER. I even had an early beta copy whereby you more or less had to follow a set path or the game would crash. I even loved that. System Shock 2 was a MASSIVE disappointment, imo.

Square Home - Apps on Google Play A Windows-style launcher: Simple, fast, and intuitive.

I never had a Windows phone with the Metro UI, but my wife and daughter both did. As I always felt the UI would suit my futile lust for order better than iOS or Android, I have decided to download Square Home launcher for my phone. Thus far, I am not disappointed.

Small Prophets review – Mackenzie Crook’s magical new comedy is pure, pure pleasure Wonder lies below the surface of this truly fantastic sitcom from the creator of Detectorists. It’s an impossible marvel of TV making

If anyone is stuck for something to watch, Small Prophets is BRILLIANT. It's the BBC doing what the BBC do best. It's up there with This Country and The Detectorists (also written by Mackenzie Crook).

I was thinking about using primer and spray paint, depending on which case it ends up in.

Yep. I also think that had Atari and Commodore not been so bloody minded, they could have merged instead of them both going bust.

Atari should have offered to send every ST owner a cost price MV16, and also made the STe natively compatible with it. It might have enabled them to stay in fight. Although, what they really should never have done is ditch the AMY-1 for the dreadful Yamaha YM2149F.

Have you got the MV16 cartridge for B.A.T? I always wanted B.A.T because I thought it was STe enhanced, but it turns out it was all down to the MV16.
