I am very active in recreating (repair) parts, with 135 releases!

Version 2 of my Commodore 64 Ultimate Starlight keyboard brace is out. I have increased thickness from 17.5 to 19mm based off feedback and it now makes solid contact and keeps the keyboard from bending.

Like and repost!

alright, it’s that time of year again!
Heads up to anyone gifting someone else a modern gaming console, PS5, series X/S, or switch/2. Update the console to latest firmware before (and potentially install games/updates already too), to avoid huge (server) queues on christmas day ❤️

Here I was thinking I was always more of a barbarian (tho we all know i look more like a bard, perhaps even a jester), but no, life once again proves I’m a druid with affinity for birds. I shit you not, this is like the 6th time already…

Found a bird with a broken wing, took him in.
