I can't move to the Fediverse properly until I reproduce my famous pinned post from the birdsite, so here it is:

P.S.A. To all vintage computer and video game collectors:

Go through your collections and GET THE DAMN BATTERIES OUT!

Now! Don't wait! Seriously, put down the phone, go to your collection and take out all the batteries. Right now! Even if they look "okay" they are NOT SAFE after this much time.

Hello all you shiney new and not-so-new people! I've mostly ignored this account for a while but that will probably be changing. Expect lots of pictures of vintage computers and gripes about said. :)

The laptop, sir.... it's been.... Jammyed!

I applaud the committee for coming to this decision. I know it was not easy. But I believe it was right, in light of certain information that has come to light.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

In my opinion, intolerance is not something which can be "left at the door" when a person participates in an organization. It is something that thoroughly informs and makes up who a person is. If basic human rights are now "politics" then "No politics" is not a rule we can abide by anymore. I am not just a vintage computer enthusiast - I am a person with a full set of beliefs and principles. And I will apply my principles in all of my efforts as a person.

I'm still excited about Return to Monkey Island, but.... wow, do I hate the art style. Hugely not a fan of the "cardboard cutout animation" style.

I have a rather large box what needs unboxing. I gather it contains some sort of old computery thingy. Sounds like a job for tomorrow's stream!

Sorry. Having a moment. Apartment living sucks though

Why is everything so hard? I just want to live in peace and quiet. Why are so many people assholes?

Welp, I've just incremented the Computer Count fact on my profile. I got rid of one machine this weekend and promptly acquired another. And I'm picking up yet another one tomorrow. I need help. Stage an intervention quickly please 🤣🤣

@SEGFAULT @spacekatia I was wondering about that red case. Kinda cool. But, yes, kinda also annoying if charging pins are not good

The "Gold G" Gateway 2000 486 I picked up at Boatfest. I love that the double-speed CD-ROM has an indicator light to let you know when it's single or double speed.
