This is my fun social media account, I will post a lot of video game stuff (mostly old or cloud gaming) and some work stuff.
If I post an image with no Alt text it is because the image is just there for decoration and doesn't provide any extra meaning to the toot.

New server, new #introduction! I'm Tim, an Aussie #retrogaming maker and collector. Right now I'm working on some USB adapters for old gaming controllers, which I collect and research - ask me about Advanced Gravis!
I do a lot of #3dprinting and design, and make a lot of little gadgets to make life easier or more fun. I also collect, scan and upload rare manuals for things, and used to be fairly active in the #righttorepair space (and still quietly run my old laptop service manuals site).

Today in UK politics: a man who travels by helicopter tells people who can't afford bus fares that he will save them from being able to walk to the shops.
Entirely serious country.

Digging through old files again and rediscovered that time I ~kind of~ cobbled together a client-server network chat thing with #HyperCard and it ~kind of~ worked. Ish. #RetroComputing
The score board is already on for tonight's game. And I got to see the inner guts of the arena 😀
Nottingham ice arena. This is pretty cool. My daughter trying out soon

Hey @grumpygamer, found this #MonkeyIsland #fanart on the book of faces, the author seems to be someone named Claudio Fichera https://www.facebook.com/ficheraclaudio

Bathtub clean with white vinegar, then wash with water, followed by a rinse with distilled water.
It looks OK-ish except for the dark area around the battery.
Could be the juice seeped under the silkscreen and damaged the traces.😬

How to counter the King's Gambit in a rare and interesting way! How did you like our Lichess Game of the Month? https://lichess.org/@/Lichess/blog/lichess-game-of-the-month-august-23/LSnGcq1C
I'm spending half my day at the ice rink, my daughter is trying out for synchro and my son has hockey practise later. My daughter will be skating on the main Nottingham Panther's rink later 😀 will post pics.

@vingtroiseize I'm OK with it. Reusing old cases for computer, drives, monitors is cool in my book.
@petergleick don't worry. Billionaire or not nobody likes him and he is going to eat a worm 🙃
I watched Princess Mononoke for the first time last night. A #StudioGhibli film I had not seen. Wow! It didn’t disappoint.
