I take perfectly good pictures and ruin them in a hex editor. Occasionally talk about media preservation.
18:00 (GMT) November 23, 1963: Millions of nerds across Britain immediately get on their rotary iPhones and start tweeting en mass:

"lol Doctor Who so fucking dead. Worst season ever. They've really lost the plot. Didn't even have Daleks."

RTD: "I'm gonna do that thing you guys always think is gonna happen!"

Doctor Who fans: "Oh fuck which one?"

RTD: "Yes"

Haste is the best game out of NextFest so far.

@landfall.se finally gave me the speedrunning platformer with Tribes-style skiing I didn't know I needed.

I just ran down a rabbit hole that started with me researching a niche Sega advertising campaign and ended with me rediscovering the Alt.Fan.Dragons website. I dont know where to go from here.

So by now you've probably seen that romhacking.net is effectively dead. In the end, it's probably for the best; the site was built in the mid aughts and its backend hadn't been re-engineered, well, ever. Consequently it was costing its administrator hundreds of dollars per month.

RHDN shutting down is legitimately one of the worst things that could happen to preservation, but I'm positive we'll see it revived; be it RHNO or otherwise. In the meantime, its probably best to backup the archive.

Oh good, I found the other Joyce Meyer apocalypse VHS. Personally I'm a fan of the End Times where Grimace gives us all those Grimace Birthday Milkshakes because all the machines were broken last time.

I thought for about an hour what my first post should be and I cant think of anything. So here's a screenshot from a VHS I preserved last year about the Y2K apocalypse.
