3 minutes into Wonder Woman 1984 and I spot an anachronism in the arcade.

Merry Christmas from Artie and the gang!

An Atari General forum? That's new.

What's the deal with airplane food?

Wow, fellow Atari fan! That's so interesting! That reminds me of <remainder of post is a full page unrelated ad whoring out my YouTube channel>

My beloved wife Rosa Nely died Yesterday after fighting lung cancer for almost 5 years. My heart aches. 😔

I'm too cool for participation trophies...I was SMOKING CIGARETTES when they handed them out. 😎

Has anyone tried that "emissions pass" additive? Gotta take my '85 CJ7 in this month and I'm too lazy to mess with the carb right now. (Though if that pass stuff breaks the law or something I'll get off my keister and do it)

I tried my best making a footprint for a DB19 connector using dimensions I found online and my own measurements, based on a DB15 connector footprint. 

WHEEEEE!!!!!! The Fastload cartridge I made works!!!

Insurance called. They decided to total my car. Oh well, a real shame I had to go ahead and buy the Nissan 370Z I was looking at. Sad!

USPS delivered my package earlier than expected for the first time in my life, and right when I didn't want that to happen. Let me explain; my apartment's automated Package Concierge system charges $5 a night if a package isn't retrieved. I'm 350 miles from home until this Sunday, and 2 packages have already arrived with 2 more due before Sunday. They were supposed to arrive in December!

I don't remember back when Gamecube games didn't cost an arm and a leg. But now they cost 2 arms and 2 legs.

I should have been a vet. My dog got gored by a deer this morning. All day in and out of surgery. 5k later and we still don't know...

I'm a combat veteran and i'm working today...It's the private sector; they expect results! 

Remembrance Day here in Canada, a day to honour our veterans and war dead.

My dad keeps saying he wants an arcade machine in his garage. Says it was his childhood dream to own an arcade machine. I really want an original 80s arcade machine but my dad wants one of those modern ones with hundreds of games built in. Obviously the latter would be a smarter choice but really, I don't see a point in getting an arcade machine if you're just going to play on a generic looking cabinet using a generic arcade controller. I'd like to play Centipede on a cabinet that has a trackball, not a joystick, thanks.

Emulation is elegant, convenient, reliable. Sophisticated and versatile. Just thought I'd let everyone know that..

I AM SO LUCKY ! Best thing that ever happened to me. 😎

I did some math. Let's say I'm lucky and I can sell 25 VIC-20 35k/SD2IEC cartridges. It will cost $200 or so to manufacture them if nothing goes wrong. I can sell them at a very reasonable price of $30 each(actually, it's   extremely reasonable since the SD2IEC alone goes for twice that.)

That means I will have a $22 profit for every cartridge sold, and a $550 profit in total.

Next, the Fast Load cartridge. I suppose it will cost around $100 to manufacture 25 of those. If I sell them for a reasonable price of $15, I'll make an $11 profit for each cartridge and a $275 profit in total.

The grand total of the money I will be able to make is $825 which is enough to get me a Commodore PET and a bunch of Zelda games that I want on top of that. I genuinely hope that will actually happen  

If I sell the RAM/SD2IEC for $40, I can make over a thousand dollars. And adding an SD2IEC to the Fast Load will bring in more money. That is, if 24 people actually buy my stuff 😁

Day Off.  SNOW.  Still about a third of my driveway left to shovel.  OK, (been awake more than an hour) Takes swig of 3:12 PM "Morning" beverage...Coffee plus hot chocolate,  with just a little bit of bourbon, rum, brandy, amaretto and creme de cacao, and Coffee Mate (of course)...Any second cup that makes you cough, is a good drink...Gonna go shovel more soon...

Does anyone know what to use for proof of value when payment was received through ebay managed payments? 

The usps smashed one of my packages to bits and they claim the item receipt is insufficient proof of vallue.

Many areas of the site outside of the forum are screwed up so much that you get a 404 error, even now. 😥

Damn, Zelda games are expensive as hell.
