Alright y'all, I'm gonna try it. Ubuntu Linux on a Thinkpad T480s as my primary laptop. Never really used Linux before. Time to find out if this is the year of the Linux laptop.

Found these adorable little bootlegos at Walmart for $8 each. A few cursed building techniques, but overall not bad for the price. They are called "Zuru MAX Retro Collection". They are in these orb things that look like gachas, but which one you get is clearly labeled on it.

The backpack holds 500. You can get offbrand darts from Amazon, and many perform better than official ones. I purchased 600 darts for like $30 total iirc.

His kickstarter page has more info. I have wanted an m134 dtyle5 blaster like this to exist since I was a teenager, so I'm absolutely thrilled it's finally a thing. I can vouch this thing is seriously the real deal. Highly recommend checking it out.

The whole kit is extremely well thought out. The build process takes a number of hours, but it was genuinely fun and well explained. The build was surprisingly easier and more straightforward than I expected. The 3 milestones helped chop it up into 3 evenings of assembly.

The mechanics inside operate like a real m134 minigun, complete with a shell delinking and ejection system. It has 6 rotating independent firing mechanisms on a rotating cam, just like the real deal. The engineering on this thing is absolutely insane.

I had the privilege of beta testing Gatling Tommy's "Mother of All Blasters" kit. The MOAB fires 50 nerf darts per second (yes, 3000rpm) using its 6 rotating barrels, from a 500 round backpack. More info 🧵

Fun first day at VCF in Dallas. Lots of people showed up and stopped by. Looking forward to seeing more faces this weekend.
I'll be there all day tomorrow (Saturday), as well as Sunday afternoon. Hope to have someone to keep the TV running while I'm absent Sunday morning!

Thanks to the efforts of the DFW retro computing community, I will be showcasing the mythical KX-45ED1 at Vintage Computer SouthWest in Dallas this weekend. Hope to see you there!
