Random musings on various retro video games, traditional games, TV & films, mostly from the '70s, '80s and '90s with some occasional contemporary stuff.
I’ve pre-emptively signed up on Mastodon because I’m not sure, ethically, I’m comfortable with the way Twitter is headed as a business.
Please add me up over there @[email protected] I love seeing your retro gaming and engineering posts.
@RetroSetJoe I remember a story from when I was a child. In it the tooth fairy would take the teeth to a work shop where a toy maker fairy would carve the teeth to make dolls for the fairy children.
@retroGaming2009 Ash, I'm so sorry to hear this has happened. I can't imagine what you guys are going through right now. Sending love to you all to get through this.
@topvint@game_whisperer I usually use a small Philips pushed gently down the back of the pins. It doesn’t need any force behind it, just enough to close the gap a little.
If Pac-man was released today the maze would be the aisles in a Tesco Extra, the ghosts would be anti-maskers, and instead of a power pill you would eat a Pfizer pill which would render you immune to the "ghosts", enabling you to take them out, sending them home under lockdown.
@TristaBytes My boss asked me to my face to do interviews at site A. He then phoned me while he walked away and asked me to meet an engineer at site B, 5 miles away, on the exact same day and time. When I said I couldn’t be in two places at once I got told to stop being awkward.
