Saw this, got mad, and thought of you.

I am so confused lol. If google can be trusted, this is even more polarizing than thrills gum? 🤣 ..Heck, now I wanna try it!
An old timey styled parody advert for Carl Jeppsons "Malört" liqueur, by Jennifer Hines. It shows a red gasoline pump on the upper left, a bottle of Malört on the lower right, and says "like citrus flavored gasoline... But maybe you'll like it"

The long dormant memories of Rally Sport just came SCREAMING back to life.. 😊
A screenshot of a low res, low poly, short draw distance racing game, with an orange car flying off the curb of a dirt road in to the water, as a blue and yellow car continues along the road A screenshot of a low res, low poly, short draw distance racing game, with a dirt road cutting horizontally through grassy land. An orange and white car is being followed by a blue and yellow car, driving left to right. Little pedestrians line the grassy area.

That FACE..
Just an awful face, made of crunchy textures applied to a low poly mesh. It's supposed to be a cute anime girl with green hair and blue eyes, with an open mouth smile. But it looks genuinely evil with a thousand yard stare.

1970's AMC Gremlin
An AMC Gremlin, primarily orange with black accents, on a Sandy beach, with a woman in a straw hat standing on the far side of it, taking a photo of 6 people forming a human pyramid for some reason? An AMC Gremlin, neon green with small black or navy blue accents, on tarmac in front of tall dead grass and sparse trees behind it An AMC Gremlin, in olive green, parked diagonally in the middle of the road, with trees on the right, and some open field with additional trees in the distance on the right. An AMC Gremlin, white with orange accents, in a completely white space, and a person in a rust colored turtleneck resting their hands on the roof, smiling.

..WHAT DOES THIS MEAN, PAST JESSE??

LOL WHY do you EVER assume "I'll remember what this means!", when that has consistently NEVER been the case??
YA GOOF
A CPU sat on a faux woodgrain surface. The CPU has a piece of masking tape on it, saying "Maybe Don't?" scribbled on it.

WOW, did Chris Prynoski work on this? This feels like a cleaned up (HAH!) version of MTV's Downtown!

Woah, that is fascinating! Never heard of this machine! Just snooping the wiki about it, the "Salora Fellow" version is beautiful!
The "SALORA FELLOW" version of the Vtech Laser 200 computer. It is a small machine. The body appears to be a very dark brown, possibly black, with light brown keys, a beige strip about 2/3rds up, across the body, separating the keyboard, from the silver upper half. This part displays the logo, and several horizontal vent lines.

I got my Acer WMR headset new in box on marketplace for $150, and while it was inferior in controller tracking and optical clarity, it was SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT, portable, and using a single cable, took under 2 minutes to set up. And SO CHEAP. I got many friends in to VR by bringing it to parties!

After getting gently dunked on for having a Windows Mixed Reality headset in the past, I wanna know:
Did any of you have one?
What're your thoughts?

(I legitimately loved** mine!)

Why does that first slide feel like it'd be right at home at a kraftwerk concert?
The 4 members of kraftwerk at their 4 podiums, all lit with red LED strips, at the right side of the frame. A large screen behind them on the left, is filled with grey text, just saying "MACHINE" over and over. There is white and red glitchy boxy patterns in the middle of the screen. The 4 members of kraftwerk at their 4 podiums, all lit with yellow LED strips, at the right side of the frame. A large screen behind them on the left, is filled with grey blocks of binary code, over and over. In the middle of the screen is the word "BUSINESS", in huge pixelated letters. The 4 members of kraftwerk at their 4 podiums, all lit with yellow LED strips, at the right side of the frame. A large screen behind them on the left, is filled with grey blocks of binary code, over and over. In the middle of the screen is the word "NUMBERS", in huge pixelated letters. On the right side of the image, are the 4 members of kraftwerk at their podiums. The podiums are black, but the members are lit with red LED strips. A large screen behind them on the left, is the word "MACHINE" written vertically, 7 times, each offset by one character, making the words stack from bottom left, to top right. The offset, allows for the word "MACHINE" to be spelled once more vertically, through the horizontal words. These letters are red, to differentiate them. It's way cooler than it sounds lol

"Somehow Bubsy returned."
A scene from "Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker", in which Poe Dameron says "Somehow, Palpatine returned", that has since become legendary for lazy writing. It is a largely cold toned night scene with poe from the shoulders up, his collar popped like the cool guy he is, surrounded by comrades in a rebel camp surrounded by greenery.

Lady Rainacorn! Lady, for short! She had 2 sisters, Peebles, and Marceline! (the Rat Queen) 😁🧡
I miss them so much, they were SO full of personality.
Peebles, the Rat, white with dark patches, standing in a fluffy white hammock with a green patterned underside. She is looking directly at the camera! She is adorable. Marceline, a grey rat with a small white patch on her belly, investigating a Sony a300 camera. She's standing on her hind legs (just barely out of frame) and resting one hand on top of the camera to stabilize herself. Peebles, (white with a dark patch on half her face and neck) walking over Marceline (grey), with her butt resting almost directly on Marceline's forehead. Marceline and Peebles, snuggled together on my shoulder, ticked in the folds of my black and grey hoodie.

WELP. It's NOT pretty, but it works! The li'l Magnus lives on!
Just about the worst soldering job possible, holding a sad little capacitor on the motherboard of my Zotac magnus en1070 mini pc.

HAHA OOPS.
That is some STRONG tape.
A photo of my fingers peeling back what might be hockey tape being used in place of capton tape, and snapping a capacitor off the motherboard of my Zotac en1070 mini pc in the process. Looks like corrosion may have also played a part?

AYYYY, I DUN IT!
AFTER LIKE, 50+ ATTEMPTS!
Tweaking tons of combinations of dozens of variables, yknow what did the trick??
Putting the drive in a DIFFERENT SYSTEM, INSTALLING IT THERE, then transplanting the drive back to this one. It can BOOT Bazzite locally, just can't install it!

GOOD GOD. 🙃

I deeply regret selling my Matrox m3d for 20$ back in grade 8..
But hey, at least they're not $900+ like they were a year or so ago!
Sold EBay listings of the Matrox m3d, selling for 275$.

Ohhhh how I would LOVE to tinker with that thing!
I bought a BONE DENSITY SCANNER the other week, you can bet your bottom dollar I'm gonna try to play Unreal Tournament 99 on it.

I want to bail on Microsoft.
Trying to jam Bazzite up my old Asus ROG GR8, and keep getting hit with this. I've been in the bios all day, flipping settings, trying different ISOs, different flash drives, and just.. This. Over and over. :(
An error message, that reads: "The following error occurred while installing the payload. This is a fatal error and installation will be aborted. The command 'ostree container image deploy --sysroot=/mnt/sysimage --image=/run/install/repo/bazzite-nvidia-stable--transport=oci --no-signature-verification' exited with the code -6." With a button that says "Exit Installer" An image of the Asus ROG GR8, from 3 separate angles. The front, the rear, and the front again, but from an angle showing more of the the side, on our right.

Same. I think the transparent Lego chainsaw may have had a hand in this.
