  1. Forced to live in a digital world but I will always be analogue at heart. 😎🤘

     

  2. FYI, added another Twitter handle, WHY? NO IDEA, something to be aware of, maybe the other two are troll accounts? 🤔🤷‍♂️😆Obviously ROB DAVIAU @MaximumRD is the main one I interact with but if any of you haven't already hit me up on there on any of them 😏

      What does having multiple twitter handles do?

    2. MaximumRD

      MaximumRD

      Nothing at all really. 😎Some might have a serious account, I guess my Rob / MaximumRd would be that, then maybe a 2nd account to promote other interests? A third account, maybe for business? again no idea, I just figured what the hell. Also, some may use multiple accounts to see which one seems to attract attention they are looking for, like depending on the look or hobbies attached you might notice a particular one "take off" so you can stick with that one and focus on it. For me personally I typically like a second account for any particular social media platform in case something happens to the main account. For example FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON I keep getting booted off INSTAGRAM, always says my account has been blocked due to suspicious activity etc, this is of course nonsense but I've been locked out of like 6 accounts within 5 months. I always use super strong passwords, create a basic account and barely use it 🤷‍♂️the issue makes no sense as I've had no issues with my Facebook or other social media accounts, Facebook owns Instagram yet Facebook has never given me an issue. I still have a spare Facebook account just in case my main ever gets locked. 

  3. Got the picture I took from the bedroom window published on our local News online website. I am sure they will post pretty much anything but it's the only time I have ever had a submitted photo picked so I'LL TAKE IT Man 😆 🤷‍♂️https://www.castanet.net/gallery/album.php?album_id=123&fbclid=IwAR0hg3lXusiYwICyVtbZ6Kbmbxk1OhmWhOFcFZejfeZqZU8NuNDeLo0IxnA

      Happy New Year, my neighbor to the North! Hopefully, we'll get a chance to run into each other at a convention in 2021.

  7. I don't and likely will never, own an Atari Jaguar....I think I am OK with that. 😜

      I no longer own a Amiga CD32, but would love to own ANYTHING AMIGA,however that is unlikely at this point as well. 😢Oddly, I DO own 3DO and CD-i consoles...because the world is cruel. 🤔😜

    3. Justin

      Justin

      So why CD32, 3DO and CD-i but no room for Jaguar?

    4. MaximumRD

      MaximumRD

      Not about room, well not just about room, it just turned out that way while I was still actively collecting, at this point I could say the same about many consoles / handhelds / computers. 😉When I still HAD a CD32 it was because of my love for Commodore /Amiga, CD-i & 3DO because I happened upon great deals and I was curious since I never had much exposure to them. I never came upon a Jaguar let alone a good deal on one while I was actively collecting so at this point with no funds left for my hobby while out of space long ago (lately I am contributing more to our electronics recycling bin 😜) it just seems so unlikely, on top of the fact Jag stuff seems to go for a premium now, the few games I might be interested in just don't warrant it. To be clear, I am not "hating" on the Jag, I just literally come to terms with he fact I will likely never own one and I have accepted that, which is all I was trying to convey with my original comment 🍺

  8. I regret never being on some kind of mission leading a team where I could say in a low husky voice "STAY FROSTY!" 😎

      A few weeks ago, I was a chaperone for the high school senior graduation party. I was assigned to the Gold bus. When we were ready to leave, I stood up and said, "Gold Leader standing by" 🤣 Only the other chaperone appreciated my Star Wars reference 🤣

    3. RickR

      Suggestion:  Become a Zamboni driver.  You could say "Stay Frosty" after every session. 

       

  9. I've not slept in about 21 hours! No real reason, just having one of my weird stints. 😆 I'll likely crash in the next couple hours.

      Got a solid 5 hours, then up again, we had a fire drill for our condo, it's yearly, timing is a bitch 😜Sure I will crash again at some point.

      Yep, it's been a couple of nights and I'm falling asleep much easier now.

  10. In case I am busy I'll say it now...MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HOPING ALL A BETTER 2021! 🤶🎄🎅

  12. Just a couple quick silly sketches on the mini iPad with my Apple Pencil. I always seem to have a basic idea what I’m going to do but then I just sort of see where it takes me so here’s some silly comic character type sketches. 😜

      Well thanks guys you are far too kind. 

  13. JUST AN FYI to everyone: This Tuesday at 3 pm is when I go to get the Cyst on the white of my left eyeball drained....obviously, I am nervous and not looking forward to it. 😐 Please wish me good luck. 

    1. RickR

      RickR

      I'm sorry, man.  Seems perfectly normal to feel as you do.  Aging is just a series of one indignity after another, isn't it? 

      Don't worry too much, I'm sure all will be well.  And hopefully you'll be able to see better after it's done. 

      Good luck!  I'll be sending good vibes your way.

      Thanks so much, I avoided Googling as you know that tends to bring the most horrific results to the top BUT I am glad I did as the articles I read seem to indicate a painless procedure for the most part, a topical applied to the eyelid for freezing so the draining is painless. From what I read their can be minor bleeding due to eye structure so most of the annoyance or discomfort is after the procedure and the healing process but I can deal with that, normal recovery type stuff I am fine with, considering all I have gone through with my eyes the last several months that is the least I am worried about but I am relieved some about the initial procedure now. I will be glad when it is over with. 

    3. socrates63

      Hope everything went well!

      Edit - never mind 🙂 I missed your update

  14. Just an image captured with the Logitech Webcam at 2:30 am, however, this was using Windows 11 Leaked version running in VMware 😜😎

  16. Life is funny, I recently posted about finding a nice BLUE KONAMI JUSTIFIER GUN FOR SUPER NINTENDO in my collection storage but disappointed to find it was only for one game Lethal Enforcers, my curiosity got me, sure I can just load the game on my Everdrive but wondered if I had an original cart. After going back and double checking I can confirm I don’t have one, I DO have this game however….yep you guessed it, I don’t have a Super Scope because of course I don’t 😂🤷‍♂️

      My first thought but I doubt it as I could only find the Justifier Gun as compatible with Lethal Enforcers, plus the gun seems to plug right in the controller port where as the Super Scope has it's own sensor, I am sure it would have been mentioned somewhere in my searches if it were so simple, if that were the case no doubt most would just choose the gun! THAT ALL SAID, I WILL STILL TRY IT LIKELY AT SOME POINT BECAUSE I'M SILLY LIKE THAT.

    3. RickR

      RickR

      Good point.  I forgot the super scope was a little different. 

    4. MaximumRD

      MaximumRD

      Always found the idea of the Scope odd, like, being Nintendo and obviously shooting games but was the idea Its totally not a GUN ! Nope, NO GUN, IT'S A SCOPE! A SCOPE I TELLS YA !" 😆🤷‍♂️

  17. Looks like all the APRIL FOOLS nonsense is starting to appear online....oh boy the shocking story is APRIL FOOLS....oh boy that unexpected video announcement APRIL FOOLS...oh boy any surprise you read or see online is actually APRIL FOOLS, boy you got me good, so funny....🙄😜

      Volkswagen got in trouble this morning for "attempting" to change their brand name to "Voltswagen" just to try to celebrate April's Fool Day.  Yea...they caught hell from it, from major networks, too.

      Aha~ I was wondering what VW was thinking with the new name 😆

      The one that got me a little excited was seeing a post about a new mini console of the original Xbox. I have the actual console and a sizable library, so a mini version has little practical application for me but these mini consoles are all so cute.

  18. LOVE DEATH + ROBOTS Season 2 coming, if you have not seen the first season I highly recommend it! 😎🤘

      I saw the first season and loved it. Looking forward to the second.

  19. ME: Is it weird to talk to yourself? 🤔
    ALSO ME: No.

      I talk to my systems I play games on and when I put them away I tell them good night.  I've never heard one say anything, yet, but when one does I'll let you know. At times it's like putting children to bed.

  20. Mortal Sin - Slice Up Monsters in this Stylish Melee-Focused First Person Horror-Action Roguelike! Cool because the game art style reminds me of the Ringwraiths in Ralph Bakshi's animated THE LORD OF THE RINGS.

      I used love playing Mortal Sin on my EXsorbeo!    Not as titillating as Tonsil Hockey or hard as Morning Missile Crisis.  Good for those moments where you're in the mood for a quick one.

  21. My guilty pleasure BAD BEER 😏 Let me be perfectly clear friends....IT IS NOT A "GOOD" BEER, I am very aware of this 😝THAT SAID, IT IS CHEAP and I will consume it for a quick BUZZ. Prefer Innis & Gunn or Guinness or Grolsch or pretty much any PORT or STOUT. I will definitely take it over a BUD or Coors or any light ass Beer. 😆

      Why qualify it at all?  If you like it, it's GOOD BEER.  F those who give you flak. 

      PS - When I'm in Canada, I make a point to get a Kokanee beer or six.  It's a pilsner, which I like.  And it has a bigger buzz than our whimpy American beers. 

    2. HDN

      I have not had beer before for obvious reasons

    3. Atari 5200 Guy

      Atari 5200 Guy

      I've never had much beer but, I do agree with RickR, our beer tastes very watered down.  Most of it tastes like someone peed in a can and called it beer.  I'd like to try some of what Japan has.  I hear their beer is good.

      I'm a Smirnoff person myself 😉 but not as often as I use to be.  It's good for breaking a fever, I know that much.  I'd rather drink a shot of vodka than to take any cough syrup.  That stuff's nasty.

  22. Nice dinner of shrimp and mushrooms.

  23. Of course with the relative visiting us this morning from Vancouver at 4 1/2 hour drive away we awoke to this scene. Was expecting snow but not quite this much needless to say he is going  to be somewhat delayed. 😬
