    - Ω - reacted to RickR in I am slowly building the game room out. Super slow, but enjoying every moment.   
    O2 is in a box.  I'm trying to decide what will go on the shelves. 
    For sure:  7800, TG16, Nintendo 64, Atari VCS
    Also:  Replace Intv with Intv2

    Once I get that done, I'll evaluate what space remains. 
    Strong candidates:  O2, Colecovision, C64

    @Sabertooth Too funny.  Actually I'll probably be taking over the spare bedroom this winter.  I've outgrown then den and need two rooms now.  So much for my planned "downsizing"!

    I love it. I actually showed this to my GF last night. It went like this.
    GF: "If you get us a three bedroom, one of those can be a gameroom."
    Me: Immediately schedules three home tours.

    That's hilarious!  That could be a great business opportunity if someone designed some tabletop models that people in wheelchairs could use and went to the assisted living and/or nursing homes to sell them.

    I use an 8GB RPi4 for KODI and it works quite well hooked up to a 8TB hard drive, but the 400's limited memory (so far) gives me pause.  But honestly, I'd be willing to buy one tomorrow if they came in black.  That red & white styling just looks cheap and does not go with my decor.

    - Ω - got a reaction from RickR in I gotta tell you, I'm quite proud of these Christmas cards I made for my nieces.   
    Yeah, inkjets clog, drain your bank account with expensive ink, almost the same price/weight as gold... a huge rip-off (IMHO).  If you don't use them all the time the ink can dry in the lines and ruin the printer.  I went though quite literally a dozen inkjet printers before I got smart and bought a laser printer.  I've had the same printer now for four or five years and it's still going strong.

    @- Ω - Part of the "crunch" appears to be awarding Atari I/O Members their Badges for existing achievements - once a new achievement has been reached for that action. So for example, it appears you will receive your "First Blog Entry" Badge (which you would've earned in the Spring, had our achievements system existed back then) upon completion of your next Blog entry.
    Another example is users who are no longer active in our forums have not been awarded their Badges yet. It appears that the "crunching" begins for each member upon logging into the forums and engaging in these activities.
    Achievements are still being "crunched" and will continue to reward past actions for loyal Members who have been active in our site for years. Most all Badges for new achievements will be awarded in real time. Also, more Badges are still baking in our Imagineering oven and will be ready soon!

    Yeah, I figured it must still be crunching, because I don't have my blog award yet.

    @- Ω - Yes, the "Dedicated 365 Streak" is a Badge that you can collect 🙂 The database is still working in the background to process all of this info and all of the Badges may not appear for a little while. Here is what the Dedicated 365 Streak badge looks like:
