Well then... I never thought I'd own an original copy of 7 Grand Dad, but here it is.

He doesn't seem too pleased that they made a game about him...

For a second I thought this was fake and the title screen artwork was a reference to this.

I know it's a bit of a shite game, but the game over screen's background in Awesome Possum kind of goes hard.

I've recently obtained a full loose set of MSX•FAN Magazine floppy disks and scanned them as I haven't seen proper high detail scans (1200DPI) of these on the internet.

#01-33 (46 Disks Total)

Feel free to use these however you wish but please credit me.

Yes it's entirely in Japanese, and yes you probably need an old computer to run it, but I thought this was cool albeit niche.

I've uploaded the IBM WebSphere Studio Homepage Builder V6.5 suite to the Internet Archive, complete with 600DPI scans for whoever wants them.

Well then... I can't say I've ever seen a game with a "Daddy's Mode" before.

Reminder to clean the pins on any used game cartridges you get right away.
I was wondering why this game wouldn't boot... Nasty!

It's Spotify wrapped season!

I'm really not too surprised by who my top artists were, but I didn't expect Pop Will Eat Itself to make it to #5.
I don't recall listening to them all that much.

I got a voice data card for my Yamaha SY77 in the mail today and one of the patches on it is literally named this...

I just came across the first music CD in my collection with disk rot.
Sucks because otherwise the disc looks immaculate, the fluttering sounds during playback speaks otherwise. 🫠

I would have joined this place sooner if I had an invite code earlier on. lol.

I really wish YouTube didn't AI upscale old music videos. These "upscales" look absolutely awful. Check out some of these screenshots from Weird Al Yankovic's "Jeopardy".

I went to an arcade earlier today and noticed something weird about their BurgerTime machine.
For some reason the white and red colors were switched in game, notice the red egg and white sausage.

Is this a well known hack, or this just some random oddity?

I am now the proud owner of a Korg M1-EX, my first professional synthesizer!

Here's all the albums I've listened to in February.

I've managed to listen to the same amount of albums (72) as last month so I think that's my goal for each month now!
