I think you’re definitely right.

There was a year in college where my friends and I grinded the real smb2 when it was available on the Wii shop.

It destroyed us. I don’t think we ever beat it. We were stuck on the third world for most of the year and it was super deflating.

I still go back every now and then to get through it and even with save states it’s just a gauntlet.

I love it for that though.

For the TNG finale here in Toronto they had a big celebration at the Skydome, our local large sports arena. They played the eps back to back on the big Jumbotron. My dad was always one for a party, so he took me down there. The place was packed with all sorts of super fans, dressed up and being freaks. My dad wasn’t a huge trek fan, but he knew what it meant to me, so he stuck it out and even got into it. I love that memory.

I met a guy there who had fully modded his Playmates Tricorder toy to have flashing lights and sounds. It awakened something in me.

OP: I’m super jealous you got to go to Star Trek: The Experience. Woweeee. Lucky.

After watching “The Offer” I’m totally in on this idea. It would be awesome.

Wow that sculpt compared to the others is like NIGHT AND DAY. Very impressive.

Oh for pete’s sake.

Thats a backrooms I’d almost enjoy being cursed to be lost in.

It was cool how they killed off Kirk though. He died as he lived; on the bridge!

Videos like that I’m always amazed the creator even bothers uploading. I’d be so fucking embarassed it would never see the light of day.

But I guess its sunk cost fallacy. Gotta get that content out there I spent a week working on. I guess I can appreciate that. Theres also something to be said about being honest about your fuckups. I was so embarassed for him I noped out of that video so I dont really know how it ended, but I dont recall there being much humility about it?

War never changes.

Even as a kid watching that I remember being like “wait what… really?”

It was this thing. Ages ago. https://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-gear/camping/earl-rugged-revolutionary-tablet/

The Earl Tablet.

Its fun with minimal bullshit.

That reminds me I need to buy some land in bozeman montana.

Adafruit was rolling through runs of ~70 per day for a while. First come first served. Dunno if they still are. I’d suggest setting up a stock alert with them.

I snagged one for my Beepy. They were so strict about scalpers they made me set up 2fa so they could verify my account.

Lotus eaters was fantastic. More of that please.

Because I want more storage.

All mac computer lab (rev a/b iMacs), locked down with foolproof. No problem; bring a zip drive and boot from it by holding down option at startup. Use resedit to edit the extension for foolproof and remove all its resources. Extension no longer works.

Reboot into a completely unrestricted finder. Good times.

Before it closed, the Brantford Computer museum here in Ontario had an amazing collection of machines. My wife took my friends and I there for my birthday one year and oh man what a trip. They had everything on display, from common systems like the c64 to really rare ones like the Unisys Icon. All up and booted, ready to be played with. But despite all these ultra rare systems the one that caught my eye was the Apple Pippin.

I grew up an insufferable mac fanboy (now reformed and agnostic), and as a kid I had heard tons about the pippin, but it was so obscure and terrible that I was sure I would never get to play one IRL.

But there I was, smile on my face, playing Super Marathon on that crappy pippin. I had the time of my life that day.

Thanks for everything Syd. RIP dude.

Ah yes, thanks!
