I like painting toy soldiers, wargaming, programming in dead languages on dead computers, collecting comic books, and having very long naps.
I don't follow back follow farmers.

Finallly found most of my PC Engine games… but there are more somewhere because Gunhed (my fave game) and Dead Moon are missing.
But honestly had forgotten I had a couple of these gems… like the Knight Rider game. 😂

And I'm sort of sad to have found these pics of the tiny apartment I lived in after 2005.. First pic has my C128D in the bottom left corner which I am convinced is in my current house, but I can't find it anywhere. 😭
Other 2 pics are my desk and my consoles (PC Engine and Xbox 360?).

Oldest pictures I have are probably from around 2000-2005. Opposite sides of same room. To the right of the consoles were my main computers but I can't find a pic of those. But I'm pretty sure there was a tower pc, plus a couple of Sun workstations in that era.

I think you're right.. it might be from a Plus4. I use it for my C64s.
Here's one of my rubbish heaps. There's a lot of old computers on that desk in various stages of disassembly. :)
The group shot is an Acorn Electron, Atari 130XE, and Apple IIe.

After years of not having used my PC-Engine watching @rubbishheap.bsky.social made me dig it out. Lost video cable, ordered new one, grabbed spare guitar pedal 9v psu, and it goes!
Saint Dragon is the only game I’ve found so far for the 🇯🇵 console (plus a couple of TG16 games). Gunhed is somewhere…

Compute!'s Gazette #1 arrived today and it looks great. But...
Sadly #2 physical is US only, and a sub would cost US$29.90/mo (2/3rds is shipping), or about NZ$52/mo (I can't read emags).
But their website... Yikes. 😬

I've been painting all my new stuff bright primary colours lately. The way most people paint grimdark looks great up close, but hard to make out on the table.
Just recently even built this cardboard Strongpoint from an old White Dwarf and working on a second bigger one. :)

um, is that Triple H? Been many years since I watched wrestling, but didn't think he'd be part of Team Psycho like Hulk Hogan.

And while I'm at it, the first time I heard of the politician Eric Adams, I was like, wha...? The lead singer of Manowar?
Turns out no. :(
Anyway, this Eric Adams is my fave.

Seeing a post about some dude called Mark Teixeira announcing a campaign for Congress made me do a double-take.
Because one of my (many) favourite comic artists is called Mark Texeira.
Note the spelling of the last name is slightly different.
Anyway I'd rather talk about Texeira.

Just watched the first episode of Alien: Earth.
Totally loved it, but when the closing credits had Dio singing The Mob Rules, it went up a few notches in my estimation.

I have consumed the essence of Feng.
Soon I will take my rightful place on this earth as an ancient Chinese philosopher.
My bones are getting rickety as I type.
