@corememunlocked Control was very smooth and fairly precise, but it wasn’t very strong and it was very loud

@theSiliconSiren Next do multiple SCSI devices. You have to double check all the settings, set up the altar and the candles, make sure you had the robe dry-cleaned, used the right inflections in the chants and if it worked, there was a 50% chance it didn’t the next time though nothing changed.

In the 90s, your Sound Blaster and modem could both try to use IRQ 5. Your PC’s response? Nope 🚫 No sound. No internet. No explanation. IRQ conflicts were chaos 😵

@SciFiArchives The made a Tron Wii controller but this is awesome

@toys_retro Wile E Coyote was self-employed. Ralph Wolf was an hourly hire.

@B_Garelick I’m imagining that the dome is spherical, was sitting nearby, the engine was running at full power, and and the dome got close and was pulled against the cowling that it made a proportionally loud “SSSSSSSSSSUMP!” sound like the bank’s vacuum tubes.

Bad engines get put in The Dome

@jvs3ph Devil’s advocate: The Jerry West silhouette shows an NBA player dribbling; something that’s practically unknown in present-day NBA

The logo is just iconic it's the one thing about the NBA that should never be changed.

@PasionBasketNBA Still less traveling than 2026 NBA

En 1987, Michael Jordan disputó un partido en silla de ruedas frente a Eric Barber, futuro atleta paralímpico Eric ganó a Jordan 20-14

@SmokeyTheCone @synblinkerfluid Could have been. It wasn’t impossible to replace the drivetrain with a standard CJ5’s 4WD and moving the steering wheel to the left side was relatively simple, too; but at that point save the effort and just get a hard top on a CJ5 (or later)

@ash__274 @synblinkerfluid Maybe it was just a painted wrangler then.

Fairly certain the postal employees felt the same from the transition from the Jeep DJ to the Grumman LLV.

@SmokeyTheCone @synblinkerfluid DJs were all 2WD and very top-heavy. Sliding doors limited tire options

@synblinkerfluid I’ve seen Jeep DV’s in rural areas. I guess the grumman can’t off-road as well.

@Waterfall_Clean @synblinkerfluid I owned one. While it could reach freeway speeds (unlike the LLV), the best mileage I ever got on it was 10.4 miles per gallon.

@synblinkerfluid My mailman has worked at the post office since the 80s and says nothing will ever match the Jeep DJ.

#ThursdayThrowdown If you came across these pages in the Sears Catalog, which would you choose? Odyssey 2 or Vectrex?

@UncleWalt1971 I’m glad you put the year closed, because I vaguely remember seeing the eastern airlines logo at Disneyland I was very young, but I guess I did see it

The first brand-new attraction added after the Magic Kingdom opened was If You Had Wings, which debuted on June 5, 1972. Eastern Airlines poured $10 million into the sponsorship, making it a full-on “commercial” for their routes. The Omnimover system it used was one of the fastest ever built, running at a brisk 2 feet per second with a true “speed room” finale, a super-speed tunnel where 70 mm rear-projected jets, cars, and trains whipped around riders at dizzying angles, creating the sensation of supersonic flight (the same tech was later used in World of Motion). Legendary Imagineer Claude Coats designed it as a travelogue, using 42 projectors and rear-projections screens to whisk guests through Mexico, Bermuda, Puerto Rico, the Bahamas, Jamaica, Trinidad, and New Orleans (all Eastern destinations). The entire track the ride used still exists today…just running in reverse. When it closed in 1987, the track was used for Delta Dreamflight, Take Flight, and, finally, Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin. #WaltDisneyWorld #DisneyFacts

@corememunlocked This was never released, though.

@SuperSisi I got the gold Zelda camera as mail order from Nintendo Power. Now I have it, a green one, and both versions of the printer. You can’t find the adhesive-back thermal paper that fits any more, but they do still make compatible paper that works in the printer.

The Game Boy Pocket Camera was released on February 21, 1998

@ThatEricAlper In the video game “Enter the Matrix” there was a cheat code of cowboycurtis

Somewhere between Apocalypse Now and The Matrix, let’s remember Laurence Fishburne was Cowboy Curtis on Pee Wee's Playhouse in the '80s.

@OneBitOnePixel Very cool I wish it could be ported to a .CIA for my modded 3DS. I’m collecting Game & Watch -type games on it

McDonald's Chicken Nugget Tetris (2023) has now been dumped and emulated. This is a significant achievement for me, as the game's microcontroller is quite modern, and tackling something like this was beyond my reach until now.

@TomcatJunkie Is that metric, imperial, or standard?

The hell it isn’t!

@CountryM0j0 @w33dl0rd @Bob_Janke There’s not too many other filmed-for-TV/movie aircraft incidents that had deaths or critical injuries that made it into the Final Cut. Plenty of other accidents that were kept but didn’t have injuries (original Pearl Harbor, 12 o clock High, etc.

@ash__274 @w33dl0rd @Bob_Janke Twilight Zone comes to mind... (fuck John Landis)

In the movie Attack of the Killer Tomatoes this helicopter really crashed and they just left it in
