Aquarius Revival

So let's make a cartoon? Like, let's make a love letter to Animaniacs for children?

Advert for AI program running on ZX81.

Claude is down this morning, so I am powering up the back-up.

I need one of those for an Unsolicited Dick Pic joke 🤣

Peak Adulting: Having a house phone & answering with MOE'S TAVERN! when it rings.

Please note: Like all incarnations of #StarTrek, the first few episodes of #StarfleetAcademy "suck" & I still have questions 🧐 about Cadit Mir's transition to the Academy...

BUT

Episode 4 is when the show really begins AND Episode 6 reduced me & my partner to tears. #CerritosStrong #TrekLives

Mattel Aquarius Modem dialing into Hidden Reef BBS YouTube video by Aquarius Revival

I saw someone ask this question for a different system, so viva la #MattelAquarius, the Yugo on four bald tires of the Internet.

Specs: Aquarius S1 + modem + Western Electric Model 2500 phone.

Everything changed in 20yrs & now, I don't even have the spirit to shitpost about the Cheato. It's all too dark, too ugly.

Venmo: @HideyThePoet

I planned on live commenting on the #SotU...but nah. Just no.

I'll add that video also improves turn around time from pen to published BUT destroys any kinda fact checking or research as a long term side effect of the 24hr news cycle.

[cries in journalist]

I wanted to write long form articles & poetry but nooooOOOOOooooo.

In the newspaper industry, it was a cost cutting measure to move to video because it saved on printing costs.

On topic: How's my #WeeBlueKey version of the Cerritos looking, y'all? (feedback welcomed) #MattelAquarius #CerritosStrong

The top-down is still rough b/c the system limitations on the Aquarius are something else.

You didn't drink enough beer if you went to a hockey game and didn't like it. ;)

Well, Trek Shitposters Unite or something. :)

Ok, but TOS is repped already in the 60th title card.

...meaning that it should be a photorealistic Cerritos & not a cartoon. ;)

I dunno if you can help but why the fuck isn't the Cerritos in the 60th title card for Academy, @stupidartpunk.bsky.social?

My partner noticed this first and just arrrrrrg #StarTrek #CerritosStrong

Definitely Westfield.

Wait, hold up, where is that???

LJS and A&W aren't Yum! brands anymore and there's still one open?!?

If the one on the right has a textured pattern on the bottom, it's Westfield.

I've owned that exact blender. Solid as fuck, makes excellent mixed drinks.

I don't own it anymore because I got a Braun mixer with all the attachments, including a blender. :)

Alternate @defleppard.bsky.social love: My sister & her best friend went to their show in Evansville, IN ca2001-2003, roughly both aged eighteen, dressed like they were gonna roll around on the hood of an '84 Firebird out in the parking lot of the venue.

Ooooooo, Mick, lookit you! :D

The soundtrack for #RetroProgramming w/the #MattelAquarius (aka #WeeBlueKey) is always & forever @defleppard.bsky.social's Hysteria or Pyromania.

SOMEONE, QUICKLY: Go buy Gordon Brown a pint! or several pints!

Are you serious? Paducah?

I gotta see this.

I'm going to add something from Writer World - had a professor, hated this mofo, still wouldn't piss on him if he were on fire, except:

"When you sit down to write something, ask yourself: What is your plot and what is your story?"

Seriously.

Living on the border of Canada "problems":

$1.50US & $.50CA in quarters...& I needed $2 for the copy machine at the library. :D

I'm embarrassed b/c I forget that Bluesky is a thing & I need to go back to posting more often! This is question for @mikemcmahan.bsky.social & @tawnynewsome.bsky.social:

WHY ISN'T THE CERRITOS IN THE STARFLEET ACADEMY INTRO? 😭

Y'all gotta fix that, please. <3

I'll give you the first twenty, friend, PM me.
