Sometimes I get the feeling I'm spread too thing when it comes to retro tech/gaming. I like all the consoles, all the retro computers, all the neat retro things. My brain usually wants to hyper fixate on a specific platform for a bit, then I hop to another thing, rinse repeat!

My recent playthrough of Space Quest II is live on YouTube. I'm increasingly convinced that these Apple IIGS ports are the definitive versions of Sierra's early AGI engine games.

I'm excited to read about all the people facing lawsuits and tax leins over the next few years because they decided to let GROK do their taxes.
QuickBooks Online: "Manage work your way. Upgrade today!"
Me: How about you get rid of the AI out of QBO and let me, you know, manage it -my- way?
