Veterans of Jedi Academy are no strangers to the old 2005 map "Sith Council V2" - our pal Link had a chat with the creator Kahn talking about the brief history and personal touches of the map! Amazing video.

When somebody tells you they'll meet you in the Wal-Mart parking lot at 11 o'clock at night to give you a free Sony Trinitron, you go meet that person in the Wal-Mart parking lot at 11 o'clock at night for a free Sony Trinitron

Starting to believe that I exist solely to update software
Spring cleaning includes unsubscribing from all those email marketing campaigns you keep ignoring
Thanks, yeah I was shocked to find it at a yard sale for $5 some years back. Super reliable and comfy
Looks gorgeous! Something about the Gateway branding just feels right, too. I can't wait to try this out later
My new-old Gateway 2000 EV900 monitor set up on my desk, complete with an old beige keyboard and a Microsoft Trackball mouse.
New CRT monitor pickup! 19" Gateway 2000 EV900. Maxes out at 1600x1200 screen resolution. Has a pretty decent picture quality and geometry, no apparent defects.
Looking forward to some retro gaming on this thing over the weekend!

Congrats on the milestone, and thanks for the shout out!
My black PSP 1000 model, seated in a corner of my room on a wooden surface.
Happy 20 years to the PSP!
Here's my PSP 1000 model. It desperately needs some TLC; the battery no longer holds a charge and the control stick has an exaggerated drift, making most games unplayable.
Regardless, there are still many ways to enjoy #PSP games these days. Do you have any favorites?
Exploit screen via the Rock Band Blitz demo. This process can take a while, so grab a snack and a tasty beverage and scroll through Mastodon for a bit while it's working. The Rock Band Blitz logo is centered in the screen. The background is a purple to orange to yellow gradient resembling a sunset or sunrise. Text at the bottom reads "Running exploit..."
A still frame from the first level of GoldenEye 007 on Xbox 360, an unreleased prototype that was leaked in 2021. As far as I can tell, this is a feature complete upgrade of the N64 original with improved graphics and a widescreen presentation
A still frame from an advanced level from Marble Blast Ultra on Xbox 360. This was one of my favorite games on the system back in the day, so I was crushed when I lost access to my original Xbox Live account along with a license for this game which was delisted in 2011. Marble Blast Ultra has since been released on Windows as an unofficial adaptation, but something about playing it how I originally experienced it just feels right
Tried out the Bad Update exploit on the Xbox 360 this weekend!
Pretty cool to play the GoldenEye 007 leaked prototype or long since delisted Marble Blast Ultra on real hardware. You should definitely give this a try if you have an Xbox 360 lying around!

My phat model PS2 in decent condition, considering its age. A black controller sits on top of it at an angle, two black memory cards are plugged in
Happy 25 years to the PlayStation 2!
Here's a look at my phat model, I recently hooked this guy up with a Free Mcboot card and an internal hard drive for homebrew purposes.
Despite how old it is, I'm not all that experienced with the PS2 library. What are your can't-miss games on the system?

It's even better when you're not actually sick! 😉
Having a sick day at home is the perfect time to update your website
Part of me was hoping the Deepseek thing was going to force American tech companies to pivot toward devaluing the concept of generative AI, but instead it seems like we will continue plowing full steam ahead toward stupid town
The ultimate test of willpower is to play a visually stimulating arcade shmup for an hour, followed by two hours of dense reading
A screenshot of my retro Windows 10 setup using a custom classic theme, set to 1024x768 resolution. Several game shortcuts line up and down the left side of the screen. My AIM client is open with a chat window on the upper right. WinAmp is open on the bottom right.
Just a normal everyday Windows 10 desktop

I believe I have this same monitor, it is pretty great. Nice setup!
Enjoy the ride! There's nothing else quite like it
I must know
Cleanest desktop theme in history
If you hear mostly mouse clicks, I am probably goofing off. If, however, you hear mostly keyboard clacks, some real shit is getting done
Here's my favorite music from 2024! Five albums released this year, plus ten others I listened to for the first time.

An edited screenshot from the ROM hack "Pokimals" that had me laughing uncontrollably. I pieced together both parts of the text box so it would display in one image. The character box shows an elderly bald man turned to the side and looking straight ahead with a scowl on his face. His left hand is either balled up into a fist, clenched together with his other hand or possibly holding a concealed object of some kind. Text: "That bitch gave me head, shoulders, knees, and toes."
Looks like the asshole blocked me, so add me back if you get a chance. What a pain, ugh. So lame that people would do something like this
No worries haha. I'm glad you got it under control
@oldmanhobo.bsky.social Hey man I wanted to let you know it looks like your Steam account has been hacked. I received a suspicious message from somebody posing as you with a shady URL. You should try to recover your account asap. I would have sent this as a DM but can't figure out how
LET'S. GOOOO!
