  3. Exploring small "abandoned" house while visiting MEXICO recently. Had the opportunity to make like THE PROPER PEOPLE and do some exploring 😝Sure my video is more like the Dollar Store variety version but I tried! 🤷‍♂️Join me in checking out this small, well it's two floors but small compared to the next house I explored down the same street in a companion video you should also check out! 😉1 of 2 videos. Exploring BIG "abandoned" house while visiting MEXICO recently. Had the opportunity to make like THE PROPER PEOPLE and do some exploring 😝Sure my video is more like the Dollar Store variety version but I tried! 🤷‍♂️Join me in checking out this BIG, well it's practically a mansion compared to the small house I explored in my previous video that you should also check out if you haven't already! 😉2 of 2 videos.
  4. Guessing you meant 2006. Well, I don't send faxes either 😉but I think I expressed my motivations and reasoning well enough.
  5. 🧐Anyone else handle all "phone calls" with just a landline and no mobile phone service in 2024?😁 I suspect NO since it sometimes seems 90% of the modern world population does but we still manage without amazingly. With some minor exceptions. Yes, we still use a landline because we get maybe 20 calls a year that aren't marketing or the wrong number 🤷‍♂️Landline plus Ignite Internet 1.5 Gigabit plan. All we need, we don't have, use or need mobile phones with a continuous contracted service because when we are out and about phone calls can wait, our devices (her iPhone and my iPad Mini 5 and Android phone) can access Free Shaw Wi-Fi with wide overage throughout the city. It's funny though because so many people, services and companies are STUNNED that we exist without mobile phones and cellular service, never have and we continue this in 2024 🧐anytime we are asked for our cell number and explain neither of us has them we always get a pause or a deer in the headlights look from them, yes one CAN exist with mobile phone service, it can be somewhat inconvenient at times sure, and some react like we are Luddites or something, hilarious since my wife handles I.T. support for the provinces health authority and I been into tech since I first saw a pixel on a screen. It's about "choice" and not buying something simply because everyone else does. Now my wife DOES have an iPhone SE and for the first time this year, when we go to Mexico for a week's vacation, she has contracted an E-Simm service data plan just for the duration of our trip, this will cost bout $ 12 USD 😝, the occasional out of country trip maybe once every year or two will be the only time she will use such a service, for my devices I have no interest in it and will remain with Wi-Fi and if there is none available I am happy to go without it until I get back 😆Honestly, I consider it a "self-imposed restriction" as more and more when we are out enjoying things I am striving to be less distracted and living more "in the moment".
  6. Everyone loves Sega saturn and everyone REALLY loves Panzer Dragoon! And today we have a two brand new prototype builds of Panzer Dragoon on Japanese exclusive demo discs, which is awesome because who wouldn't want Sega prototypes for what many consider the Best Sega Saturn Game! It runs on real hardware, on the MiSTer FPGA Sega Saturn core and via Mednafen emulation! Gotta love Sega prototypes and retro gaming all in one! Low Content Burning Rangers just released a patch for the Japanese version of two Sega Saturn demo discs (one of the best retro games IMO) that allows you to access a different beta builds of Panzer Dragoon that were never meant to be playable on the demo disc! Video game preservation and video game development all in one! This is after we got the Saturn Bomberman Prototype Bomberman SS and prototypes of Clockwork Knight too!
  7. Who remembers? I recall being into tech as I am following these stories. Linux / Open Source consoles that never got farther than the prototype stages. Were they simply too ambitious? HEAD OF THEIR TIME MAYBE? After all Valve proved Linux based gaming systems CAN be successful even though their first attempt also failed.

  8. 😝🤷 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.
