  1. Hey, what's up, people? 🤷‍♂️🤔How's your day going?WIN_20231018_14_01_06_Pro.jpg

      Hey, yo, it's casual. You're looking fit as a fiddle there, Rob 🦾

      Funny you should say that 😝 as I am JUST getting over some type of Stomach Flu or bug, past 2 weeks it's been just liquids and light foods, I had it BAD, like I actually vomited, last time I vomited from Flu or Virus I was a child as typically I got a cast iron stomach. About a week in I made the mistake of eating too heavily thinking I was mostly better and BAM total relapse, nausea, diarrhea but today woke up feeling I'd say 80% better, so much so I have been in an a productive mood, doing laundry, did dishes, cleaned bedroom night tables and dressers, just thankful to say feeling uncommonly chipper and motivated after being in lazy recovery for too long. Will have a light meal later. So HOPING FINGERS CROSSED I am on the other side of it now. Also from eating like a bird the past week+ I definitely lost extra weight through this time, Melissa has been noticing of late, I am not one to weigh myself and don't even recall the last time I did but out of curiosity I decided to and let's just say I am a couple of pounds less than I ever thought I'd be for what I consider my normal so bonus I guess 🤷‍♂️🤨I recorded it for reference but I am considering it my "sick" weight, will see if I level off or maintain but for now I can easily say I am currently about 30 pounds lighter then when I was pushing maximum density back in 2012 or so before switching to intermittent fasting, cutting out sugars and other lifestyle changes to help with diabetes etc. Gotta take the wins where I can get them these days right?

      As Tony the Tiger used to say, "I'm great!"  I got a whole 48 hours to myself with no work, no chores and no social obligations.  I'm gonna eat, sleep, play, print, read and goof off!

  2. 🤔🤨Question, ever noticed on Youtube going through recent videos to watch that you are subscribed to a channel you do not recall subscribing to?

      No, but if I did I'd attribute it to my declining memory.

      Yes and I believe this is intentional. I have channels created for specific uses - for example, one YouTube channel just for my living room - these channels will be subscribed to zero channels, and after a year there will be a few subs to very large, mainstream entities that YouTube likes too promote. They're like "shadow subs".

      Ah ok, it's something I have heard others claim as well and honestly, before I noticed it I too assumed it was just something "forgotten" however there have been some that there was simply no way I'd have subbed to, yes I have a TON of subscriptions but there is just no way in hell I'd subscribe to certain channels as they have only ever had content that is of zero interest, which is why I knew immediately something was up. 🤨

  3. Just finished imaging the OS on the Legion desktop the Asus laptop and the bedroom PC. Oh yeah! Regular imaging back ups. I love it. Also, I am a nerd. 😝😎😂🤷

      Resets are a good way to start fresh.  I do that sometimes too.  A very short haircut or throwing out old clothing. 

       

  5. I wonder what Skeletor would have thought about Mumm-Ra? 🤔

      He'd probably be Mes-mummra-ized 💀

  6. I am a day late but Sept 1st was Frankenstein Day!

    On this day in 1797, author Mary Shelley was born. 21 years later, she published ‘Frankenstein’ anonymously and over 200 years later, we’re still celebrating Shelley and the legendary Frankenstein!

      The Universal "Frankenstein" movie starring Boris Karloff is on MeTV tonight.  I'll be watching. 

       

  7. Went through my older handhelds to show someone I still had a Dingoo handheld (the smallest here) it was among some of my past favorites. Took this picture a couple hours ago. Shown here is my Dingoo a320 (middle) dual boots with Dingux Linux, also my GP2X Caanoo my favorite (bottom) as well the OpenPandora (Top) which was amazing for the time 😎👍

      I remember when you got that Caanoo and the OpenPandora and how exciting that was!

      Very cool I wanted the Game Park handhelds, but too pricey for me back when they released. I don't remember the Open Pandora though. Only up to the Canoo. I was doing development for the Gameboy Advance when the first GP handheld came out, so that was interesting it was similar, but a bit more powerful. 

       

      FleshChasmer is a great game for the hardware. 

       

  8. DELETED THREAD - TO BE CLEAR it was ME😎that deleted the Having a bad day Thread or whatever it was with the car crashes / accidents. We don't need that here even under the guise of a positive message of "It could be worse" those type of videos / images are not good for the vibe here on AtariIO, enough of that stuff elsewhere and those type of threads just grow and get out of hand, not the vibe we foster here on AA. I considered just deleting it and letting that be message enough but just for clarity sake as well as credit where it is due, there is nothing to add or respond to on the subject (frankly, if anyone does not like it they can lump it🤷‍♂️) I suggest it's left at that - Keep it light, fun and not at the expense of other's. 😉Have a good one folks. - Sincerely Rob. 

  9. Garuda Linux on the DELL laptop, I really like the look of it. 😎

      Here is the forecast for my location...looks very similar to yours.  I was just commenting how low our power bill was going to be this month as the whole HVAC system has been off for several weeks now.  We'll turn it on for Tuesday though 🙂

  14. Replaced our old DELL with a ASUS budget gaming laptop so I installed Garuda Linux on the old DELL. Looks and runs great, when considering some aesthetic options I just HAD to go with these AMIGA themed login/load screens for my own nostalgic pleasure.

     

  15. My wife thinks it's funny when I nap at the computer.....

      I think she's right 🙂 

  16. 😎Classic 80's Vacuum florescent display tech - Loved VFD tech for displays in electronic games and stereo components and even clock radios etc. I know it was more expensive tech but it was so bright and colorful and sure maybe somewhat retina burning but nothing else looked like it, very much of it's time!

      Those are really nice. 

      I've started to divest myself of my VFD tech games.  I just don't turn them on often, and someone else will enjoy them more than me.  Coleco Pac-Man was the first to go. 


  17. Hah made this waaaay back on MAY 6th 2009 ! For my Facebook Classic Gaming and Computing Group, Still going, good times! 🤣😎

      I've never heard of that.  I need to try that out.  Thanks!

      I have an old Windows 7 Dell "Studio" laptop.  Super high quality from the early 2000's.  I took the time a few days ago to replace the HDD with a brand new 240GB SSD.  It's fast now, and I've been using it a lot.

      Note my current profile pic as well using one of the filters. It's fun play around with. of silly filters ad regardless of the quality of your webcam, in fact it's a good use especially if you have a lower quality webcam in some ways. Just click allow when it asks for permission to use your webcam and it will work fine. It was a really nice option for free especially back in the day when we might not of had so many options for webcam software but even now I like to tinker with it when I'm bored, a fun lo-fi experience. Share some results with that Dell 😉

  20. For the Atari Jaguar fans be sure to check out the new FREE book by Boris Kretzinger "Clipped Claws the history of the ATARI JAGUAR" Enjoy and spread the word!

      Mint Tea sounds like it would hit the spot right now. I'm going to add that to my shopping list.

      What's a normal night in front of the PC like at Casa de MaximumRD?

      Watching video's, reading forums, wearing headphones and walking lightly and being extra quiet closing both doors to the adjoining bathroom as I go multiple times throughout the night / wee hours (yes, I said wee intentionally) so as not to disturb my sweet slumbering wife and, well that's about it really. 😝

  23.  

    😟Hope our WARLOCK will be found OK but not sounding good.

    https://www.tmz.com/2023/01/18/actor-julian-sands-missing-hiker-california-mountain-baldy/

    Julian Sands, a British actor best known for his roles in films like the 1985 drama “A Room With a View” and the 1989 horror entry “Warlock,” was reported missing at about 7:30 p.m. last Friday, Jan. 13. Sands had been hiking in the Baldy Bowl hiking area, approximately 50 miles northeast of Los Angeles.

    According to a representative for the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, ground crews responded and began searching the area soon after the 65-year-old Sands was reported missing. However, parties had to be pulled Saturday evening, after roughly 24 hours of searching, due to avalanche risks and trail conditions.

    Sands is known to be an enthusiastic mountaineer. “I love climbing mountains, I’ve spent a lot of time in the Alps over the years, a lot of time in the Andes, Alaska and the American ranges,” Sands told ThriveGlobal in 2020.
