Hi Bluesky! I'm Fran and I've been gaming since I was 3.
You will see a lot of gaming (especially retro and indie games) and photography posts here.
Of course, you will get food, music and memes as an extra too.

Today's retro game is Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade for Game Boy. Based on my favorite film in the franchise. The best way I can describe the experience is "not as polished as some other Indiana Jones games" but certainly has a charm to it.
Have you ever played this one?

As soon as I get the Steam Controller, I'm going to play Boiling Point: Road to Hell on my TV while lying in bed.

These boards are authentic N64 games. I also sold a bunch of these but you can clearly see no modifications to the boards. They are authentic original OEMs. They have no been modified. They haven’t even had batteries replaced. They are not repos.

These PCBs clearly have modified components. They are original boards but not original components. They have MASKROM adapters installed in place of the ROM chip. They are repos. These are what I sell.

Since I’ve been doing repo SNES carts lately, I wanted to do a quick PSA on how to check for authentic OEM games:
1. ALWAYS ASK FOR PICTURES OF THE PCB.
2. CHECK THE PCB. BACK AND FRONT.
3. DID YOU SEE THE PCB?
4. DID THE PCB HAVE MODS?
5. HAS THE PCB BEEN MODIFIED?
Hope this helps.

An amazing piece of journalism and it's vile what Rockstar has done.
This will be the main reason why I won't get GTA VI.

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".
PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.

I got myself a Kobo Libra and the first book I finished in a long time is Mysterious Affair at Styles, as I love the Poirot series.
The episode was quite faithful to the book!

I feel elated, I feel depressed

Look I get that Linux has its own gaping wounds, but at least it doesn't force you to edit s core component purely to turn of the perpetual slope machine that will steal your data.
