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

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!

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?

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!

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?

@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

Anybody on here use SpaceHey? I just set up a profile on there, filled out all the info and added a custom theme.

It feels just like MySpace, or at least what I remember of it. Feel free to add me on there!

I'll be periodically Wonder Trading away a collection of Shiny competitive ready Pokémon on the generation 6 and 7 games for the Nintendo 3DS.

The online services for the system are going to be shut down on April 8th, so there's no time like the present!

Long live the 3DS!

This chump continues to be wrong and owned about everything. Two teams who combined to win one (1) World Series in their history. But sure, let's just have the NL East/AL East champs play for the title every year
