I started this channel to talk about new retro inspired things like new 8 bit computes or the FPGA projects. Now that America did the stupid there will be a lot of protest things too. Buckle up new friends it's about to get weird.

Just talkin' business. Liberals tend to have higher levels of education leading to higher wages. Target pissed those people off with their phony DEI commitments. Now they are counting on those people to come back just because they have hip but brands. Maybe fix the problem then get boutique brands?

πŸ’― this. Thank you for saving me some keystrokes. Since Obama the dems have tried to court the center alienating their base that got them through the primaries. Keep your base energized and let the indi voters decide between sense and fascism.

Modern Vintage Gamer made a great video about The Great Gianna Sisters and Super Mario 64.

Nintendo's corporate greed stifles creativity

Dispatch has been censored on Switch, and fans aren’t happy Dispatch’s release on the Switch has been met with controversy after developers AdHoc Studio confirmed it has censored nudity and swearing.

Nintendo is playing content nanny again. They don't trust their users with the option to sensor Dispatch so they are making it mandatory. You'd think they would have learned lessons from Mortal Kombat on the SNES!

Just skip the rebuilding. ICE came from the panic of a 911 and is completely unnecessary. Send that money to education, Medicare, or any other social programs that are vastly underfunded.

Many progressives including myself felt the Democrats dropped the ball on the Palestinian genocide during the election. The alignment with the Cheney's was disgusting The polls only show people who voted. How many people stayed at home because the Dems tried to be MAGA lite?

Democrats are so out of touch they lost twice to Trump. Let that sink in. In both elections they betrayed their progressive base in order to uphold the status quo thinking that Trump could not win. They let the far right gain ground in the courts over the decades. They take our votes for granted.

10 print! I had my 4yo 10 print her name on my Commander X16 and she thought it was magical.

When my C64U arrives we'll probably do the same.

Urge Congress: Save Our Stations Act now to prevent more station closures in communities nationwide.

Local public media stations could go dark. 115+ are at risk as funding decisions are being negotiated now. #SaveOurStations: bit.ly/4qm3RaP

This is coming from a Packer's fan. His ego always outweighed his talent. A QB is supposed to be a leader but whenever he threw a crappy pass or was sacked, because he takes forever in the pocket, he would blame the team. He's a political nightmare and was an embarrassment to the team. Go Pack Go!

I have an arbitrary goal in 2026.
I’d really love to hit 10k subs on YouTube.
Will it change anything? No
But it’s a lovely number & in the end I’d love to share point & click adventure games with as many people as possible.
Come follow to help make that possible here: youtube.com/@yakwaxlips?...

Aquarius+ and the AQ+ mini are Y2K+26 compliant. By far the easiest firmware updates out of the bunch.

You can pick up the mini version here.
