I had the privilege of beta testing Gatling Tommy's "Mother of All Blasters" kit. The MOAB fires 50 nerf darts per second (yes, 3000rpm) using its 6 rotating barrels, from a 500 round backpack. More info 🧵

Fun first day at VCF in Dallas. Lots of people showed up and stopped by. Looking forward to seeing more faces this weekend.
I'll be there all day tomorrow (Saturday), as well as Sunday afternoon. Hope to have someone to keep the TV running while I'm absent Sunday morning!

Thanks to the efforts of the DFW retro computing community, I will be showcasing the mythical KX-45ED1 at Vintage Computer SouthWest in Dallas this weekend. Hope to see you there!

Tonight I attempted a method to add fake scanlines to lumadoub using only i2c commands to try to turn the DACs on and off every line.
Nope, not gonna happen. It's just not fast enough. Guess I'll have to explore other methods that involve additional components.

The dev board i designed has a lot going on for me to really test out as much as I can out of these chips. But the core of the circuit is these 2 chips in this rectangle: The ADV7280A and the ADV7391. Doesn't need much else than an MCU, voltage regs, and video input/output

Aside from the 3d printed cap that threads on over the top, it's almost entirely made of metal, so I'd be pretty impressed if someone snapped it. It looks like plastic, but it's black powder coated metal. They are quite a bit heavier and tougher than they look

Packed a duffle of stupid dongles, dropping them off at the post office tomorrow. No longer taking stupid dongle orders through DMs, but will have details on the next batch soon!

Check out my stupid dongle that lets you power your 8" pvm off USB C. DM me if you wanna buy one for $25.

The random event spawn weights also change based on what the upcoming stadium is too. Destruction derby increases the probability of Meteors, while DeDeDe increases Meteors, Tac, Dyna Blade, Machine Formation, and UFO.

All Ups can be obtained a few ways. They are always available from the sky/boxes when the stadium is VS King Dedede. Otherwise, they can be obtained from the sky/boxes during Fake Powerups and Item Bounce events, or from the Pillar, Secret Chamber, Meteor, Tac, and atop the UFO.

The Dyna Blade event changes the sky/box drops drastically. Among other things, it removes all grey "stat down" patches, and increases the spawn rate for sword, temporary max attack + defense, candy, and fireworks.

Been looking at item spawn rates for Kirby Air Ride with UnclePunch. Spawn rates change based on... a lot of things. Here's a thread of some fun findings...
