    Well, a cyst in my eye drained and flattened. She hit a blood vessel unfortunately, I have antibiotic and steroid drops for the next few days and then a follow up in a month. 😛

    Thank you, @Justin, for your kind words and for bringing back the High Score Challenge. The Suzuka track is very challenging and was often frustrating lol. I was fortunate to win the 2021 Grand Prix.

    There's an unprecedented heat-wave here.  I've had to move my collection out of the attic.  It's way too hot in there for this stuff.  Future plans include selling some of this stuff off and moving the rest into the garage (which is far more climate-controlled).

    Pluto TV
    Ever hear of it? I didn't until I applied for a job. It's an ad-supported free streaming service. I've been watching a lot of shows that I grew up with as a kid (Family Ties, Facts of Life, and more). This week, I started my new job as TPM for international. I'm working with folks to bring Pluto TV to markets outside the US. I'm working for the first time in seven months, so my head is spinning a bit.
    Recovering from heart surgery took a few months. I don't think I'm 100% but pretty close and certainly well enough now to work.

    So I was watching the F-R-I-E-N-D-S reunion and apparently a dude named David Crane worked on it? So THAT'S what he did after the Atari days were over!

    Famicom Detective Club on the Switch is definitely worth the wait.
    The games are good. Really good.
    And the new modern graphics are good, too. Every character has little subtle motions and their clothing and hair blows in the wind dynamically. No static character models here. They really look alive.
    Definitely recommend.

    Ive been making our second horror/comedy movie this last month in the Smoky Mountain Chronicles series, and this weekend I have off, so I wanted to do a bunch of Atari 7800 articles that I have back logged for www.Atari7800Forever.com before I get busy for the next month while we finish it.
     
    I already posted about this featurette about Muddyfunsters games, but its worth a second mention. Plus there's a graphic from one of his games with my name on it, so I wanted to brag:

    I look into getting into the backstory about that mysterious Atari Championship title belt I was gifted last month. I was given a wrestling belt years ago, and it ended up being very valuable. Can lightning strike twice?

    My latest acquisition is Video Pinball (boxed) for the Atari 2600.  (Sorry about the flash washout).  I don't know why it took me so long to buy this one, as it seems to be very common.  In any case, the box is in good shape and didn't need any refurbishing.
