Joe - Upper Memory Block

@SQHistorian Just cancelled mine a few weeks ago myself!

Hey popping in here. Is twitter still a thing? My app opened to the “for you” tab and I was very scared. Thank god for “following”. Seems like a lot of you are still around talking about fun stuff.

@CGOApps @ErnstKrogtoft I have weird memories of Rex Nebular for sure! Not a good game at all but there was other motivations for me at the time :)

I’ve always wondered about the adventure games out of early ‘90s era MicroProse. Turns out, @ErnstKrogtoft did an excellent blog entry on just that. retro365.blog/2023/09/25/cla…

@Lasse_Laser I think about how I would bring it back often. No solid plans just yet though.

@umbshow I am actually relistening to your podcast now. I love it! Any plans for new episodes?

Driving to the ski hill this morning. Someone turned the draw distance way down. Felt like I was playing Magic Carpet!

@scottjohnson I look forward to town crier 2.0.

@ArtofBattletech Always found the arms on the original work to be awkward looking.

To compare, here's the original Gutierrez artwork from 1984

Modern re-interpretation of Allen Gutierrez' cover artwork for classic Battletech box set by Florian Mellies aka Spooky777 #battletech #mechwarrior

So my basement t flooded New Year’s Eve. Got repairs done yesterday and a crew came in to pull all the wet flooring etc. set up a ton of industrial blowers and dehumidifiers. You know how they say you eventually block out white noise? You don’t when it’s this loud. I’m tired…

Wow, haven't been on here in awhile. The UI has become much more...sales-ey.

ITX boards are so damned cute.

I joined this thing because Facebook already has all my data. @billybob476" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">threads.net/@billybob476

@scottjohnson Though they seem to take after the serial side of the family I’m glad they still make time for grandpa parallel port.

Comic I did about the USB family.

Gotta be ergonomic.

@SQHistorian @AmayirotAkago :( caught a few mins of my old Patreon hangout that he was on a few days back. Miss that guy.

This is a very specific thing for Whoopi to be upset about. appleinsider.com/articles/23/06…

@banditloaf @TheSpaceshipper My lord I had this on Betamax dubbed off of TV. That drone scared the crap out of me and probably transferred to my initial kid-fear of the Borg (which I still sort of have)

@TheSpaceshipper Huh! I've always wondered if there was some creative connection between TNG's Borg and the 'Shell' drone from Earth Star Voyager. A lot of ESV feels very TNG-adjacent!

Captain EO (Disneyland, 1986): Another trench run with VFX supervisor Harrison Ellenshaw (The Black Hole, The Empire Strikes Back)

@scottjohnson Thanks Obama.

I just stubbed my toe on a big dog toy in the living room. I’ve decided to blame vaccines.

@ben_304 Next level: pop up book.

The greatest possible feature a diagram can have in a book is overlay pages.

At least Reddit waited for my anniversary to go nuts. Between this and twitter lately I’m running out of places to post about inane things that don’t matter.
