  1. just got a nice screen protector for my iPad mini. After taking about 40 min to assure no air bubbles or dust were present I managed to apply it, very pleased with result. Best of all with the stylus has a little drag now and matte finish so not so smooth like on glass, feels more like paper. Tested to make sure, hey I’m no pro but it’s honest art at least 😛to be fair I used the simplest drawing program, no layers or magnification, literally the same as drawing with colored pencils so I am pleased. At least I can make something without a reference. 🤷🏼‍♂️

    My take on HULK.

      @MaximumRD What is this supposed to be? I get a DNS error and can't get the site to come up.

       Poop. I just checked, no DNS error but broken from what it was when I initially posted it. Shame. For the past few months it was pretty much a multi-emulator in your browser, you know like those HDDs you can buy (or set up your own) multi-arcade and consoles emulation setup with everything from art to backgrounds to screenshots and animated previews, just select the platform, select from a large library of games and start playing. I stumbled on it a while back and even waited a couple months just to be sure it was legit and sticking around. Shame, hope it comes back at some point. It was much like this screenshot but in your browser, pre-configured, even my plugged-in gamepad just worked. Ah well, best intentions....

       

      Very much like this but in browser, free, no weird pop ups even with adblocker off and I had checked for malicious verus etc. Seemed clean, sure it seemed to good to be true as well. I had even found someone posted a video about it. No idea how long it was previously up for. 

      Here is video from 2 months ago, hopefully just down for maintenance....

      I get THIS currently, let's hope it comes back eventually......

      I been checking daily with no good results until now. Curiously at this moment, it redirects to

      https://www.retrogames.onl/

      Though nowhere near as slick or featured as when I posted the original link at least there is something to work with so I am posting here immediately as obviously there are no guarantees on how long it will remain up. 🤷‍♂️At the redirected URL (or simply go direct to the new one) choose the platform, pick a game from the alphabetized listing and lastly click PLAY NOW. 

      See 3 screens below showing it working as I mentioned.

  4. 😝🤷 Found two of these fellas sitting down on our lobby "help yourself" shelf. Any idea who this character is? Is he like a bargain bin version of some other character? I can't find any identifying brand marks on him. 😆

      It must be some kids movie or tv show given that cat shield, but I have no idea either.  It could just be a Dollar Tree generic knockoff toy of some kind.

       

  5. It's 10:07 pm, as midnight approaches THIS is the face of man about to turn 56! Muh birthday 🤷‍♂️😝More than ever I am happy and appreciate the little things, a good meal, a nice drink, indulging in hobbies and appreciating friends and family.

    😎 At my age for my birthday I asked only for a nice craft beer to go with a nice dinner. Had steak and mushrooms for dinner and got 3 cool beers😆 don’t drink much these days but it’s a nice surprise on my birthday and a treat. And for a snack one damn hot Pepperoni stick!

  6. While I halted mentioning celebrity passings some time ago I would be remiss to NOT mention the passing of this legend! Carl Weathers, Rocky and Predator actor, dies aged 76. Stallone will take this HARD. So long ACTION JACKSON!

      I really liked him in the Mandalorian, but now he’s no longer with us. RIP

  7. Played a couple of rounds of pool with my wife in the clubhouse and didn't do too well but to be fair it's been about 15 years 🤷🏻‍♂️I managed a couple of nice shots though. Checked my messages to see she snuck a couple of pics of me, I was concentrating too hard to notice 😝

      "Kelowna Slim" at his best. 

      Looks like a lot of fun.  I haven't played pool in ages.

      A friend reminded me on Facebook in a comment on these pictures, I used to be quite the Bumper Pool player. Good times. 

  8. First big snowfall of 2024 with seemingly more to follow later this week. Will get much colder by the end of the week as well.

      Not a fan of the snow myself. 

      So far (knock on wood), we've had a very mild winter here.  The only snow I see on the forecast is on Sat 1/13, so we shall see. 

       

  9. All the best to you all in 2024!

  10. Just a PSA for TG16 owners: posting this from elsewhere but this is not the first I have heard of this lately. Take your chip games out of their plastic sleeves. The sleeves are starting to melt/rot, ruining the games they are supposed to protect. I recently got two sealed nos games for my brother, only to discover the carts were ruined due to the rotting sleeves. The same likely applies for Sega Card games for the SG-1000 & SMS.

      I suspect HuCards could be cleaned up and made functional again but best to avoid this altogether. I’ve upgraded my HuCards with brand new plastic sleeves available from PCE Works: https://pceworks.wordpress.com/2018/05/25/hucard-sleeves/

  11. As we head into the Christmas week, things might become a little quieter around here than usual so I'll just say now to every member and all those behind the scenes, hope you all have A Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

      It is that time of year for sure!  Our car is AWD, so I'm hoping for a little snow to see how it does around the neighborhood. 

       

  15. Yum. Salmon with basil butter and mushrooms with spices and coconut milk.

      Love a freshly prepared Salmon! Looks good.

      Yup! That's salmon alright. Great fish to eat.

  16. Another video so soon after posting one yesterday? Must be a record lol. Found a couple of minor items in the Electronics Bin. Walking in the snow! Another walk and ramble, more snow the next day after my walking around in a T-shirt just yesterday. I didn't expect to find anything since I checked recently but a couple of small items caught my eye, join me on a snowy walk around the Condo! Filmed for fun on an old ANDROID 7 phone - Voga V!

     

  17. 😎😁Melissa brought me home this Bamboo Laptop tray from Costco for when I am using the laptop sitting on the couch, no more hot laptop directly on me PLUS space for drinks and it has accommodations for mobile devices etc.

  18. Walk and ramble, still kicking, HI! 🙃😝

      Blood work is routine for me, too. I have a rare genetic condition from birth, called congenital factor S deficiency, which causes my my blood to clot too easily. So, I have to take blood thinners to survive.

      Funny, I didn't find out about it until over four years ago. when I had a pulmonary embolism. Fortunately, I caught it in time with no damage anywhere in my body. So, I know medically how it is.

      Wow Degas glad you caught it on time and are aware now! Yep all we can do is adjust our life style and try our best.

      Yeah. Only 400,000 people worldwide have the disorder. One in 20,000 people. I am lucky to be still alive. But, I am otherwise in very good health.

  19. Just finished my scheduled blood test every three months for diabetes monitoring, everything went well and just waiting around here at the mall for my ride so just killing some time. 🙃
