I wonder if that’s referencing Red Alarm for the Virtual Boy. That game has a few bosses that are disembodied faces.

My last one was the Battlefield 1942 complete collection. So, 20 years here.

I feel that. Except with watches. Started off modding Invicta Pro Divers with the Seiko movements. Now, my watch collection is easily twice that meme.

Ring-a-ding-ding, baby.

Where have I seen this before? Was it Star Trek TNG? Fringe? X-Files? Man, this is really familiar. I seem to remember it not turning out well for the courier.

If we could keep falling back every year, but skipping the spring ahead, that would be great.

Eventually, my sleep schedule would be considered normal.

I’d take one of those. My P4 is only 3.0 GHz.

I have 3 luxury watches. I’m not rich, it took quite a while to pay off each. That’s probably all, those were the only 3 I ever really wanted. I bought them because I like watches, nobody else I know cares about them at all. The ones i picked have interesting movements or history. I didn’t get them specifically for their brands. None are Rolex. I would say the biggest difference is not just the materials, it is the quality and tolerances of the machining. The surface finishes.

I like to build and mod watches. I have quite a few made with Seiko movements and aftermarket parts. Some are pretty nice, and I never thought there would be much of a difference between a $400 Seiko and a luxury watch. Until I held my Tudor for the first time. The bracelet has almost no play to it between the links. My Seikos feel sloppy by comparison. The brushed surfaces feel almost soft, they are so smooth. I find myself just rubbing it sometimes. The clasp has little ceramic balls for the detent, and they are very smooth to operate. Wearing it is an excellent tactile experience. Like a fidget toy. It’s also the watch I wore during my daughter’s birth, and that is primarily what I think of when I wear it.

But yeah, long story short they do feel different. I bet there are a ton of people that only buy them as status symbols, though.

Awesome! Love your period hardware. I have a complete XP setup, but I would love a 95/98 setup. No more room.

I did install 86Box last week, though! And installed 98SE. I was also partying like it’s 1996 with Microsoft Hellbender!

My parents had one with “points of interest” pre-programmed into it. Tried to go to a casino, ended up at an abandoned barn.

If you pretend Star Trek stopped after First Contact, it’s a lot better. I really don’t understand why they keep trying to make new trek, or who is watching it. Who is it for? It’s too fast, too action-y. Too many camera angles. The writing and acting feels like teen drama. Where is the professionalism, the decorum, the reserved nature of Starfleet? And what little humor there should be, should be dry.

I’ve been using it on my phone for a few months as a trial run before putting it on my PCs. I like it a lot so far!

I have a copy of Popular Science from May of 1958, and they talk about nuking the moon twice, then building a missile base on it. That seems way more realistic.

I think i have more Laserdiscs than Blu-rays

I stopped using my hdmi adapter because it wasn’t looking as good as the component video. You got the 1920 to work? What version of OPL do you have? I might have to try it again!

Now that you mention it, I’ve had mixed results forcing resolutions through OPL. But the factory ones you do with button combos always work great.

Oh, you can still get storage on the slim. I just did Gusse’s IDE resurrector on mine, but there is a better version out there now with much larger SD card support.

I played through Black for the first time this year on my old Fat with a sata hdd. How great was that game? It felt a generation ahead of its time, especially using the higher res display mode and the component video.

If you don’t already have a good controller solution, I highly recommend the Brook Wingman. I’m using mine with a Dual Shock 3 for the analog buttons (gotta have them for Ace Combat), but it supports so many controllers.
