Look at this lovely Outrun cab 😻 https://youtube.com/shorts/QCEK0RWZIuU?feature=share I'm working on the coin mech next, and making the coin reject button grant a credit.

Raiden project is great. 1 and 2 on there.

This week's pickups! Dino Crisis (in space) and Sudeki on OG Xbox. Played neither of these. Reviews seem positive. Tenchu on PS2 because it had a memory card inside the box, bonus. On PS1 we have Twisted Metal 2, original XCOM (I played the DOS version), and the fantastic Raiden Project shmup! #retrogaming

So freaking difficult to get through to a human in Amazon customer support. Shitty AI bots sending you in circles 🙃 What a shit show.

🎬 Dexter and I just watched Naked Gun. Been a while since I last saw it. Never heard him giggle so much 🤣 The opening car bit, bathroom scene, and jumping on the queen got the most laughs.

Apparently Automattic are laying off around one in six of their workforce. And I'm one of the unlucky ones.

Anybody remote hiring for a UK-based full-stack web developer (in a world that doesn't seem to believe that full-stack developers exist anymore) with 25+ years professional experience, specialising in PHP, Ruby, JS, HTML, CSS, devops, and about 50% of CMSes you've ever heard of (and probably some you haven't)... with a flair for security, accessibility, standards-compliance, performance, and DexEx?

It’s taken 9 hours to rebuild Lego Death Star 🪦 Son is having a Star Wars phase so had to get it down from the loft! Much harder with unmarked bags.

@rdm My other scope is hooked up to an MC2400 which is on another level. I’ll upgrade when that gap is closed I guess :)

It's been a very very long time since I last hauled my telescope out—given the stresses of bedtime routines, a free schedule, long setup time, and the need for clear skies it just doesn't happen...

...so for christmas we got one of those new fangled Smart Telescopes. SeeStar S30. It lacks resolution but you're setup in minutes. Start and forget.

This is what it produced. No manual stacking or processing, just it's own denoising.

When these smart scopes get higher res cameras it'll be perfect.

My word, what an amazing finale to season one of Severence. That build up 😳 Glad I don’t have long to wait for S2
