Also saw this CRT in a clear case. When I mentioned I had never seen one like it the vendor said "I guess you've never been to prison"

I never considered buying a vintage Chuck E. Cheese-branded tray but it was $10 at the flea market and 100% my jam

Check out the open source CRT project Thomas has been working on. I saw it at VCF West last year and am really impressed with his progress github.com/tdaede/td-crt

I, too, learned from a kid that if you kicked the Frogger coin door hard enough it’d credit up. Though the method I learned was facing away from the machine and hitting it with my heel. Maybe it was the same kid going from town to town in the Midwest teaching kids how to play Frogger for free

I dunno, around 1983 or so, at an arcade in a K-Mart, a kid showed me that a swift kick, not that hard, to the coin door of the Frogger machine added a credit. That's how I broke my toe, but also got the high score on Frogger.

@tolkoto.com @grubb.wtf Thought you two would appreciate my new desk mat. BNCBz!

A wooden desk with two monitors, one ultrawide and the other portrait mode, a soundbar, mic, and Elgato Stream Deck. Most of the desk is covered by a large desk mat that has a picture of two Arby's Beef N Cheddars sitting on a wooden butcher block

Or the *perfect* time to start watching the show. I remember going to see a Mandy matinee with @wes.readonlymemo.com while I was extremely hung over. In hindsight I think it was appropriate

It was pretty wild and everyone there got a huge kick out of the coincidence. It definitely went to the right home
