@johnromero.bsky.social my memory is shot, what was the shooter you referenced at play Glasgow during your talk? The one that was fixed that could be rebalanced etc.

Well it's a naff photo of the result but bringing an old #Wonderswan Mono back from the dead was quite a relaxing time 😁

Day 6 in Japan (substack post) - Shibuya and Akihabara (again) open.substack.com/pub/virtvics...

Great read from @tonywarriner.bsky.social if you haven't already partaken!

Happy 35th #Lemmings anniversary! Who'd have thought, 35 years later we'd still be talking about these little guys. #Amiga #MSDOS #AtariST #Commodore #Atari #DMADesign #Psygnosis #RETROGAMING #Lemmings35th Read about it's making here lemmings.info/lemmings-gam...

You're not helping my backlog become any shorter @onepunchrob.bsky.social 😂

What's the most cost effective way to pull together a selection of connectors and pre crimped wires for making jst gh, grove, jst sh, stemma Qt, qwiic cables? Thought it'd be cheap to pickup a selection of kits but they're a lot more expensive than I thought 😯 #IoT #drone #makers #electronics

Simon the Sorcerer: Origins complete on steamdeck. Great to hear Chris Barrie back and some nods to the original game, which is a sequel to this. Loved it all, only needed 3 hints, 2 of which I thought I'd already tried. Recommended for point & click adventure fans! #backlog2026

Absolutely gutted about Catherine O'Hara, honestly one of my all time favourites, so many amazing lines and deliveries over the years.

Taken me far too long, but finally I have my work standing desk with all the wiring hidden and a single power cable going tidily down a 3D Printed magnetic drag chain/cable spine - already feels better walking in and seeing it.

Was just looking at trailers of Still Wakes the Deep thinking "that looks awesome" then remembered I'd sadly never be man enough to play it. Still not done Alien Isolation and a host of others I have. Solutions on how to not be a wuss and play scary games please 😭 #TheChineseRoom #Lovecraftian

Well 5 month into being a dad I'm loving it, but have been absent from my usual haunts 😭 A health scare and trip to A&E Monday night means I've got my feet up resting this weekend, so time to catch up on goings on. Happy New year all!

Absolute blinder of a weekend at #CrashLive, thanks to the team for a great weekend. Seeing Malcolm Evans was a privilege and the Gremlin team. Big love to the @specnext.com team as well, huge momentum and buzz about the platform that's well deserved and already loved 👍

Just backed UrbX Warriors - for the PC & Spectrum Next on @kickstarter www.kickstarter.com/projects/ton...

Great day at #CrashLive had to leave early gutted but back tomorrow! Wished I'd not procrastinated on that next with already having a 48 and 128, the N-GOs look interesting though, just not that same 🤔

Missed you today had to leave early, marker at the ready tomorrow if you're around 😁

Ay up! I got a new Japanese console today - Read all about it on Substack! - open.substack.com/pub/virtvics...

Smiles but late for #CrashLive because somebody wanted a lazy Saturday mornin' and it wasn't me!

When you're not sure if @mdf200.bsky.social will destroy your boxed copy of lemmings or not at crash live 👀 🤔

If you missed out on issue 1 of @amigaaddict.bsky.social like me you may be in luck, after much pestering they've offered to do a limited reprint, pre-order is open 😁 www.addict.media/amiga-addict... #amiga #retro #magazine #commodore #pixeladdict

Some great titles there for very very little 🙌

Digging through my Famicom spoils from the top guy that is @tenpencearcade.bsky.social 🙌 Cheers Vic, you have spoiled us!

Cracking day one at Play Expo Blackpool, cracking guests, good friends and it turned out to not be a total nightmare with the little human, who'd have thought 😂

Why is it when you put things you've been tripping over for months, in a safe place, you need them a week later but can never find them 😭 🤦🏻‍♂️

Just heard that Billy from #TheGameChasers is in ER with a brain tumour, has genuinely knocked me sideways. Him and the gang have brought so much laughter into the world it's hard to see someone get kicked so hard by life. No matter who you are and what you're going through, stay strong. #retro

So... I'm a "Dad"... How did that happen 😱

After years of talking about it, finally bit the bullet on a portable AC unit, already having regrets watching the neighbourhood lights dim every time I turn it on 😭

Great work and a #demoscene world record to boot 🙌

Honestly can't tell you how much I've used this tip from @tenpencearcade.bsky.social lately. Even if I'm a complete dope for not knowing about I'm happy with that because it's a game changer 😂 #3dprinting

@gamewhisperer.bsky.social hello! I have forgotten the rusty fami challenge for @markfixesstuff.com, it's still here, been busy prepping for the arrival of Funk Jnr so its way down my list 😭 Hoping Mark is well and has settled in his new location too!

Missed out on a really well looked after A600 today, the bay registered my bid too late so I missed out on a bargain, literally a mile down the road 😭 Saves me getting in trouble with the other half and it's not the A1200 I'm still after, but it would have been a nice pickup #amiga

I'm totally behind these initiatives, fingers crossed they gain some ground and it does become a thing moving forward. @jeffgeerling.com thanks for sharing 👍 youtu.be/Zhw-1a2b9kY?... www.stopkillinggames.com #stopkillinggames #pc #games #history #preservation #gaming

Have a project where I need to power a 12vdc laptop LCD driver and a PiZero on 5.1vdc. Ideally only want a single common power connector to a bulkhead on the enclosure (C7,USB-C etc). What's the easiest way to do it safely? #maker #electronics #pizero #raspberrypi

This series popped up on my feed last night, it's pretty cool, he's delving into costs to beat a game, and Contra is next up which will be an interesting watch. He's a big midway 90s fan but I suspect he may expand horizons eventually! youtube.com/playlist?lis...

@tenpencearcade.bsky.social you sir are an absolute legend, definitely that engineer in you 😂 I'll be keeping that one in the kit back for life 😁🙌

Other than using heat set inserts, has anyone had success inserting M3 nuts into #3DPrint when tolerances are slightly off in the final print? Pliers are an option with force but that won't work in all situations. Are there any clever 3d printed tools/clamps etc that can be used? #3dprinting #maker

New Substack blog slipped out. NeoGeo CD Top Loader fun. Will it / won't it work? open.substack.com/pub/virtvics...

Missing the community at the moment, need to find a few weekends to get out and about again soon 🤦🏻‍♂️ Amazed how rapidly I lost touch with events!

Seriously needed to kick back tonight, ended up going to see Flow, what a beautiful film. Definitely one I can see myself watching more than once and noticing more each time #movie #cinema #film #animation

Well it didn't take them long @h0ffman.bsky.social 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️ Neogeo Arcade Game Cartridge Handmade Game Cartridge - Golden Axe a.aliexpress.com/_Eufaqb6

Anyone found displays 135 x 35mm or as close to that as possible? Oled, ips, TFT any would do! That's me getting to spend 5 minutes on thinking about project stuff today done 😂 Back to house maintenance #maker #3dprinting #ewaste

Maaaan just realised this hits 30 years old next month 😭 Time has flown... #WhiteZombie

Weeks to do... hours to tear down 😂 Corefixings are ace, until you have to remove the things 😬

These are criminally good 👀
