  1. This print took 20 hours to print due to the quantity of supports, but I think it turned out okay.  It's hard to tell by the photo, but it stands 17.5 inches tall and has room for an LED tea light in the top.

  2. 37% complete, should be done by 10AM tomorrow!

  3. It occurs to me that a Borg cube must really stink because you have thousands of individuals packed into a tight space that never bathe or shower due to being stuck in an unremovable garment for decades.

      Yup! That about sums it up. XD

      It depends on if the cube is open to space or if it sustains atmosphere. Do Borg need to breathe oxygen? Do Borg cubes have life support in that sense? Are they open to space? If the cube is open to space then there's no air to stink up and make smelly 🙃 I would assume the entire cube is not open to space as away teams have beamed over to cubes without too much of a problem. Now it occurs to me I need to create a Borg emoji 🦾

  4. I've made poor retro gaming choices.  I have only have two classic platforms, an Atari 5200 and a Texas Instruments 99/4A.  Both topic areas are like ghost towns... sigh.

      Sounds like we need a high score challenge for a 5200 game 🙂 The 7800 Asteroids challenge has gotten me playing daily on the 7800 for the first time in like forever.

      Atari 7800 opens doors to two different dimensions: 2600 and 7800. Have fun exploring both. Then do the same with a Turbo Duo, opens up TurboGrafx-16, plus CD and Super CD games. Four birds with two stones. TI and 5200 can be lonely spaces.

      Yes they can be.  I love my 5200 but have left it behind in favor of other machines.  The 7800 was a true powerhouse before the 8-bit era ended.  

  5. Downsizing sucks, moving sucks, packing sucks and unpacking sucks even more.  Thankfully Atari.io is here to help me unwind.

      This is a nice looking space, got the window next to the chair and looks like a cool tile floor for the feetsies.  I think i like it better than your last setup.  And yeah, moving sucks.....

      Actually that's carpet in the den with a huge chair mat so I can roll around and not destroy it.  The TI has become a "stealth machine"...

      Coming along.... it always takes a while to get fully settled.

  6. Anyone up for a TI-99/4A high score game contest?  If so, what game would you recommend we go with?  Of course Classic 99 (emulation) as well as real iron would be allowed.

      Thank you.  That must be newer than what I had read!

  7. You mean people actually buy newer, faster and powerful computers just so they can emulate computers that they got rid of 20 - 40 years ago because they were too slow?  Humans!

  8. It's too hot to go outside today, so I'm off to go play with my 5200!

      "Pengo" will be a nice cool-themed game to play.  

       

  9. Have you ever meet someone who claims they hate computers and will never own one... but spends all day on their smartphone?  🙄

  10. Something died under my house... I am not amused!

  11. Anyone with a TI in their "User Icon" is okay in my book.

      Haha- thanks!!  😎

  12. A programming genius called Hugh
    Said 'I really must see if it's true.'
    So he wrote a routine
    To ask 'What's it all mean?'
    But the answer was still '42'.

  13. It's appears I'm now an Orange.  Do I win a prize?  What happens when I get to 9/9?

    1. RickR

      RickR

      Orange is the new black. 

  14. Don't ya think they feel like that sometimes?

  15. Q. What should you do after your Nintendo game ends in a tie?

    A. Ask for a Wii-match!

  16. Q. How does a computer get drunk?

    A. It takes screenshots!

  17. Don’t use “beef stew” as a computer password. It’s not stroganoff.

  18. IO, IO, it's off to Atari IO I go, da dada da, da dada da, da, da, da da... 

  19. Jump starting an alternative requires a team effort...

  20. If it's smaller, you're paying more!
