I take perfectly good pictures and ruin them in a hex editor. Occasionally talk about media preservation.

18:00 (GMT) November 23, 1963: Millions of nerds across Britain immediately get on their rotary iPhones and start tweeting en mass:

"lol Doctor Who so fucking dead. Worst season ever. They've really lost the plot. Didn't even have Daleks."

I'm sure they can more thoroughly cover the plot without resorting to Rowling's signature "Lets drop what we're doing and awkwardly have 40 minutes of exposition" writing style.

Deathly Hallows was an absolute mess because of plot elements dropped from earlier movies.

Haste is the best game out of NextFest so far.

@landfall.se finally gave me the speedrunning platformer with Tribes-style skiing I didn't know I needed.

It's a little known fact that the Revolution was started because Americans were jealous of British electrical plugs.

I just ran down a rabbit hole that started with me researching a niche Sega advertising campaign and ended with me rediscovering the Alt.Fan.Dragons website. I dont know where to go from here.

Pretty much. They even shut the app down before the ban went into place entirely so they put that message up.

Deleted the app. Should have done it before anyway.

So by now you've probably seen that romhacking.net is effectively dead. In the end, it's probably for the best; the site was built in the mid aughts and its backend hadn't been re-engineered, well, ever. Consequently it was costing its administrator hundreds of dollars per month.

RHDN shutting down is legitimately one of the worst things that could happen to preservation, but I'm positive we'll see it revived; be it RHNO or otherwise. In the meantime, its probably best to backup the archive.

Oh good, I found the other Joyce Meyer apocalypse VHS. Personally I'm a fan of the End Times where Grimace gives us all those Grimace Birthday Milkshakes because all the machines were broken last time.

I thought for about an hour what my first post should be and I cant think of anything. So here's a screenshot from a VHS I preserved last year about the Y2K apocalypse.
