Three new episodes will be coming soon.

Re-tooled the recording studio PC to the faster Xfce Linux Mint. Also, working on finding ways to integrate my legacy recording equipment. Windows 10 updates had literally and universally become so problematic and unmanaged. Every update was a complicated matter of whether or not it would make a formally compatible device a dead capture card.

More work done on the studio. I'm also on pixelated.social @Thriftygamer83@pixelfed.social

@Stellar he did it as a sales and donation grift for launching rockets. Public relations spokesman had confirmed it not calling it an outright con-artist job as he genuinely wanted to travel in his own rockets to space.

@freemo I'm glad to be fully vaccinated. RTA Type 1 and fatty liver put me in a high risk pool. When it first started coming had already had a kidney stone stent surgery to prevent sepsis. My body naturally produces kidney stones.

@coolboymew @ChristiJunior it's been that way since I was a kid. You would see on an NES box (screen shot from the C64 version). Which automatically meant you could be getting a watered down port without the matured and understood hardware. Later on Commodore did that with NES ports lol.

@coolboymew@neckbeard.xyz @coolboymew wondering where you guys were.

@twl cleaner then my studio.

@Qato and the Habs put on a broom show last night.

@Qato Tea for Tuesday with a shot of vodka. My Grampa used to make tea that way.

Working on getting my new capture card up and running. To server as the RGB/VGA capture card. Working on it means I need more coffee lol.

New capture card is going to be a lot of fun tweaking and working on not. Part of my fun is making older parts work together and bringing new life to them. It's all part of that magic of being a geek. 🤓

Looking at gaming today, I'm surprised how fast it has evolved, from the 8-bit era, past the 16-bit generation, and walking into my studio I'm amazed how large of a gulf remains in several generations over the years. Multiple systems, tons of memory, and lots of Mountain Dew Code Red, and Pepsi. It's a basic love letters for gaming and it's devotees which is why I still collect to this day. It's wonderful to step back through a portal of time and a chronological museum of memories. A deeper regret will always be never having shot an episode with my older brother (1975-2014) and the memories of gaming with him are a life time.

We didn't really see anything wrong with such practices. Greed was good and all corporations could enjoy a certain level of judicial protections. After growing up the impacts of those decisions could not have been more dangerous. The ramifications limited technological growth and innovation while PC's were the ever advancing quantitative power houses. Which outpaced home consoles and would until the rise of the original PlayStation.

The #10NES for better or worse defined everyone's childhood in the eighties and nineties. Setting into motion a level of monopolistic corporate greed which locked out games from independent chains hooking them into partnerships with Nintendo friendly partners. It basically was a way not just in avoiding another crash but keeping smaller chains under the thumb of larger companies.

Bought Vegas to use in my studio as my editor of choice. Got with it so many other bundled packages from humble and found out Avidemux and audacity are still my primary editing choices.
