My NES with a 1.4v NES rgb kit died. So. F it. Study break. In the mids of finals….. I just can’t let it go. So. Took a donor. My equipment. Desoldered the NES PPU. Waiting for my new NES RGB V5 kit… the old 1.4 kit is to be retired.

Doing ok. Studying like mad! Taking paramotor lessons too. Got a new home gym! How ya been?

Finally. 2025 has some good news.

Come watch fat old bears play ddr on a real machine in my home. Http://www.twitch.tv/thehandlebargamer

I have yet to see good images or video that isn’t pointless/serves a real purpose/isn’t used for awful reasons/bait. Burning resources for memes.

24tb drives I snagged last year are over double in cost today. No stores within 150km of me had any 5090s last week. Ram I snagged last year on sale (64gb DDR5 6400) for $250 is now $1600. Feels intentional so we need to subscribe to cloud computing. No power in our hands.

My strength isn’t quite what it was. I tend to gain back decent quickly. I am older now tho.

3 weeks back training. I hit the PTSD wall hard. Stopped training for years. I held onto some decent muscle size considering. More motivated than I’ve been in years.

I looked at prices of 20 and 24tb drives that I snagged last year. Nearly double. DOUBLE. For mechanical drives!!!!!

Don’t promise me a good time. lol. Can’t believe they platformed Pierre again. They must be suckers for punishment.

How about Canada

It’s worth it. I had my training done yesterday in just the to and from commute time it would have taken me.

Under trained thugs thinking it’s call of duty running on emotion. This will only get worse.

My last trip to the gym. Was stared at the whole time. One girl was sick with the flu. Snotting all over the place not cleaning. There’s no sense of community either. People too busy making TikTok shit. Time to step it up with my own new equipment. Just getting started…..

I’m in 2 collectors groups and one Forza horizon group. Aside from that. Scrolling - every other post is an ad. Literally. Most shit is very extreme political trash designed to enrage us for engagement. Hot garbage. Hope it fails soon.

Not usually. I do find it strange how when I go to log back in. The password entry acts strange for auto fill.

Seems pretty lazy.

Oh baby…..

I mean. There is still 45 mins to go……. Any minute now…..

The final Calvin and Hobbes, which appeared in papers 30 years ago today.

Brother. You’re a mad man. Happy new year to you and your family.

Sega Channel Revival support is now available for MiSTer!

Holy shit this is amazing. What a way to cap off the year!

It’s the only app I have issues logging in with.

I woke up and chose violence. Batman (NES). Finished. No death run. Not the fastest. Love this game. The soundtrack is amazing.

Bluesky randomly logs me out. Then my iPhone wants to enter old security keys as my password. Pain in the ass. No other app logs me out that much.

I do a 96* run every Christmas morning.

It’s the best.

Seems so. Which is sad.

2:09 round 1 Mike Tyson….. having the worst fucking day I’ve had in ages. Wasn’t even focused. Doesn’t count for leaderboards. No video. I am amped and pissed all at the same time. 2:17 was my best. Also. This was my first perfect fight ever.
