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.

My doctor just told me about this cool new thing, idk if it's a medicine or a treatment or like a therapeutic technique but it's called "object permanence", might have to look into it

i know circuitboards are more static-resistant than they used to be, but like the possibility of dust getting in there or me not placing the paste correctly.....

thinking about how if an aquarium is a glass container where you keep a mini aquatic habitat, and a terrarium is a class container where you keep a mini terrestrial habitat, then a planetarium should be a glass container where you keep a mini planetary habitat. and it kind of is, isnt it?

Atari joysticks hurt my hands and since I had have a broken cheap Atari joystick clone, I decided to use the cable to turn an NES controller into an #atari compatible controller. It works great and is so much more comfortable to play games with. I think it was an Adrian's Digital Basement YouTube video that inspired me.
