or how often you can see the level

I haven't even hit 100k subscribers and this is what my inbox looks like. every day i get emails Image
I now receive multiple shill offers daily. Most are "from" electronics "manufacturer" storefronts on amazon that likely do not exist as anything more than a sheet of paper in a government office in China and one of hundreds of rollstamps at a factory in Shenzhen.
I can't figure out the scam, honestly. I'm positive these "businesses" don't exist in any meaningful way - all the six-letter names you see on Amazon and Aliexpress cannot have staff and offices. There have to be millions of them, it's unthinkable.

so it turns out that the rubberized coating on the Latitude E6420 is not the only thing that high-test isopropyl dissolves. it strips the paint right off the plastic.
well, nothing to do but to do it
the upper 2" of paint are absolutely nuclear-grade. must be baked on there from years of heat, took as long to remove 1/3 of that part as it took to strip the whole rest of the thing

KONAMI'S METAMORPHIC FORCE IS HANDS DOWN THE BEST ARCADE BRAWLER I'VE EVER PLAYED
I don't even know where to begin. Every part of it is solid gold. I mean, you play as Them
But like, there are other games where you play as Good Boys, and that's always fantastic, but this one gets EVERYTHING RIGHT

One of the folks on my patron discord was looking for someone to rip some Betacam tapes, and I have a deck just gathering dust, so they sent them over. Neither of us had any idea what was on them.
VIDEOGAME SPRITE CAPTURE!
There are periodic title cards, so I know it's from 1991. If anyone recognizes the characters, lmk.

a thing that rocks about minidisc is that it was sold for long enough, and at enough different price points, that you can have whichever electronics aesthetic you want
would you like Extremely Competent Sony At The Height Of Their Game? no problem
how about Stripped-Down Pro Gear Used As Part Of Much Larger System? we have that

here's an opinion i've had about retrocomputing / nerd culture for a long long time
the overwhelming majority of "cool" computers that everyone "wishes they had" were created to perform dreadfully boring tasks, by people who wished they were anywhere else, in the service of people who did a ton of coke and left our economy a smoking husk that can't support life
you do not want a cray-1. all they are is calc.exe but very fast and you can't even touch the buttons, you have to write a program that touches them. the purpose of a 'supercomputer' is to sit humming for 24 days and then produce a single integer, or 25 million integers
