    Just heard the news.  Rest In Peace @Airshack.  Another one lost way too young.

    Local winds are now averaging 3mph, with gusts to 5mph.  It has begun.

      I am fine out here.  Some surrounding areas, from what I understand, not so much.  I am about to head out shortly to check on a couple of customers.

    My Atari 2600+ has shipped... okay, @Albert, your turn ;)

    My AtariAge "Last Chance" purchase might wind up being the best Christmas gift I ever got myself ;)

      Indeed, I bought a game off here and an encore that I have yet to unbox, I will have my 2600+ too. Lots of stuff to unbox when I have the time at Christmas.

      @bent_pin Oh, so true, and it slipped my mind!  How awesome would it be to get my 2600+ and my Last Chance purchases at the same time?  Oh!

      I've been so busy winterizing and finishing the last of my construction project before winter that I have no choice but to wait. I have two big brooder houses to finish, one chicken house to side, a deck to remove, a fence to install, a wood storage to build, two campers to move for next year's projects, and I have to finish cutting and splitting at least two more cord of wood. Busy Busy

       

      Fortunately, I usually get off from Dec 20th through Jan 12th. So, 24 days of gaming. I have 32 titles to play, plus an audiovox, plus the 2600+, and the 10-in-1 cart to play. Going to play on the 55" with my girlfriend. She's excited too.

      I took my kid several years ago, it was fun. It's been on my radar this year but schedule probably won't work out. Too many other weekend activities.

    Pretty pissed off AtariAge had a sale right before I get ready to leave for VCF... I am a few clams lighter, now.  Thanks, @Albert!

    The perpetual state of forums:

    1. Post specific question about doing something.
    2. Get questioned why you are doing it that way.
    3. Get told to do it another way.
    4. Get told you are an idiot for doing it the way you want.
    5. Thread runs for miles.
    6. Never get answer for original question.
    7. Give up and fuck off somewhere else.

      But I do have to question...

       

      I mean why pose this as a Status Update?

       

      I think it would be better served as a thread.  Maybe then you could get more detailed answers...Lots of them!

       

       

      (Just kidding to prove your point of course!)

    Well, iiRcade is dead.  I guess this is what happens when you are not on social media, you miss out on noticing that the company apparently called it quits in June.  Kind-of pissed about this as I Kickstarted (or GoFundMe, whatever it was,) the system, getting the 128GB unit with Dragon's Lair, and was slowly building up my library, including some of the ColecoVision releases, and had not yet purchased all of the Digital Leisure titles (what was I waiting for, right?)

     

    Anyway, I cannot sit through an hour of this to determine what they mean by sort-of closing the company, and it pisses me off that the website mentions nothing about this in its news section.  This seems like news.  Oh, but its Twitter feed has been dead forever, too.

     

    Well, I guess this can become a retroPi system, or something like that.

     

    Fuuuuuuuuuuu.......

      So,

       

      You DO have games you've purchased right?  You just can't purchase any more.  Do I understand this much? 

    2. OLD CS1

      OLD CS1

      Yeah.  So far, I have not lost access to any of my purchased games.

      Their machines seem to be dropping in price, for whatever that's worth. That might not be worth much if the cabinets haven't been hacked the way AtGames' have been, though.

  14. OLD CS1

    Well, that happened... on a business trip and my car (I am the business, so my car,) was stolen from my hotel parking lot.  Beware the "safety features" of your car which keep doors from locking.  They can be your undoing.

      So it hit me, my old Android 7 tablet is in the car running Wiggle, and it is still showing up in my data usage.  I thought to myself, HEY!  Google tracks everything, so how do I do it?  I go to the find my device page and guess what: my account has been deleted.  Even though Google Play on that tablet is not only logged in, the account has (had) a few bucks on it, and it still gives (gave) me pop-ups to set my birth date.  So, yeah, Google told me to get fucked, my account was dormant for too long.

      It can't go in reverse, cause it doesn't go forward. It's an absolute value like an inch. Don't matter what way you go, and inch is an inch is inch. A measurement we made up one day.
