Started to play Return to Monkey Island - Switch My 1st time playing this game and I really like it.
-
I finally checked the 1st 800XL yesterday and to my surprise after all we went through it does play carts with zero issues.
-
Thought I give everyone an update to the Atari 800XL issue. After completely giving up, a friend invited me to come with them to an estate sale where I picked up a 2nd 800XL and when I brought that home it worked perfectly, which I got for $50. Right now I am uncertain what I should do about the 1st 800XL, and extra keyboard. Should I keep for parts or sell.

My PC Tech friend has got around to try and fix my Atari 800XL. He found 3 bad caps so far.

A while back a friend gave me an Atari 800XL in perfect condition. Finally got a power supply and AV cable turns out it doesn't turn on. Tried a trick someone suggested still doesn't work. I have a PC tech friend who is going to see if it has bad caps.

@Classic Pac: when you say it doesn't turn on, if you leave it powered up for ten or fifteen minutes, do any of the ICs or other components get warm?
-
Went out yesterday with friend to check out yard sales. Then encountered heavy rain and a tornado warning. I think we all are pretty lucky, we did get some nice bargains.

I have been watching Double Dare season 1 on Paramount Plus and was delighted to find out that the very 1st prize in the Prize Run at the end of the episode was an Atari 7800
-
So far I know of 3 nude figure mods for 3 games. This pandemic needs to end soon.
-
Videogames Then and Now fixed my Blue GBA SP and the screen which hasn't worked since I bought it looks incredible. No wonder this model is so much in demand.
-
My PS3 and my blue GBA SP are both finally repaired. I pick them up tomorrow.
-
I own a Gameshark Update disc. How rare are these? The only one 1 know of is the one I own.
-
I got a Spam this morning from now get this KILL INC with the subject line "How Much is Your Data Worth". I deleted it ASAP, who knows it could have been ransomware.

What is wrong with YouTube? 5 unskippable ads before a video
-
I decided even when there is a vaccine available for Covid, and I do get it. I am still wearing my mask
-
I've decided that as well. When you think about it, shouldn't we always have been wearing masks in crowds, during holiday shopping-season, in doctor offices, etc., just to avoid influenza and regular respiratory infections? Not in a mandatory sense pre-pandemic, but I'm surprised the use of masks wasn't simply a recommended tip for daily life. I'm also considering a face shield at this point, too...

Had an expert look at my PS Vita after it got water damaged, their verdict... It's toast and I should think about getting a new one.?
-
Did you leave the Vita for a week or so before turning it on again after it got damaged? I've heard that the real killer from water damage is shorts on the motherboard from not letting it dry out properly.
I'm sorry that's not much help to you now (if it could have even helped at all) but hopefully you'll be able to get another one. The Vita is a system I've been interested in but I wonder how much of a future it has once Sony drops online support for it.

Got some good news yesterday, a friend thinks they know what is wrong with my PS3 and best of all they know how to fix it, which they agreed to do.

The Blu ray drive in my PS3 died
-
Got a couple of games for free, been thinking about making them available in the Free Games. Frankly it doesn't make any sense to charge for these games that are worth $10 or less.

Had a weird little problem when trying to join AtariAge on Discord. It says I am a member but I can't access their Discord channel on Discord software. Now what?
-
It's really getting to a point where I can't even stand watching the news without feeling like throwing something at my TV

The only news I've been watching is the local news reports for about the first 15 minutes, just to see if there are issues with closures, etc.
I've been reading a fair bit of news online, but as Joe writes above you really need to shop around different sources and not expect any one of them to be reliable.
