This is my fun social media account, I will post a lot of video game stuff (mostly old or cloud gaming) and some work stuff.
If I post an image with no Alt text it is because the image is just there for decoration and doesn't provide any extra meaning to the toot.

Because I am an incredible cheapskate, I hand assembled a Open MVS (https://www.retrorgb.com/openmvs.html) board to consolize the cheap Neo Geo MV1C board I got. Arcade golf never looked so good! BTW I have extra PCBs and component sets so I might put them up on Tindie or something basically at cost.
@davidwilkins There are lots of Chinese cars I'd love to have :) In fact, my laptop wallpaper right now is a GWM Tank 300.

Today, another much more obscure half-sister under the skin for the #Opel Astra in the form of #MG5 electric estate car. The D2XX platform developed by Opel for the last Astra launched under #GM ownership, the 2015 Astra K, is widely used around the world. A simplified version of D2XX for Asia, GM-PATAC K, provides the underpinnings for the popular (in the UK, anyway) #MG which is produced by the Chinese group #SAIC. Pic. SMMT Test Day for journalists, 2021. #WeirdCarMastodon #davidsdailycar
@davidwilkins I have to give SAIC respect for producing affordable EVs that don't look horrible. Sure other than the EV4 they all look kind of generic, but at least they aren't offensive looking and all are spacious cars for the price.
I played quite a bit of #HaloInfiniteSeason4 and it doesn't seem to be a huge difference. There's infection mode and a few new levels. The jungle level (sorry forget the name) is cool but it struggles to get up to 120FPS, on my Xbox it is peaking at 120 but dipping to 106-ish regularly. #gaming
As for the state of the game, I don't think Series 4 will attract many new people. The population is what it is, we won't see many new people joining this game.
Still, I enjoy it :)
@roshanjohn I added you as a friend just now.
@roshanjohn #XboxSeriesS as far as bugs I have issues with settings resetting and in some levels the frame rate isn’t quite a steady 120 FPS, particularly in BTB modes. It drops as low as 109 or so FPS.
I’ll add you later tonight 👍
There’s one unhealthy food I can never give up. Fried chicken! 🤤
Andrew Tate case
@peachfront I’m sure that’s that he believes given clips I’ve seen. I only became familiar with him relatively recently as his arrest hit the news and I began to worry my kids had been exposed to him, some of what he’s said is shocking! Truly evil.
Andrew Tate case
@VedaDalsette that’s something I didn’t quite consider. I thought he had fooled them he was a good guy.

Andrew Tate case

#AndrewTate charged with rape and human trafficking.
I don't understand the people who defend this man. Have you not heard what he said about how he ran his "business", how he manipulated women, how he scared them, how he bullied then? He described a human trafficking operation!
This guy fully incriminated himself! He confessed on camera!
@jikodesu yes. I don't mind wireless headphones too much, but a headphone jack is basic functionality we need to have back!

My thoughts on the whole Meta debacle are that the public absolutely requires commons where discourse can occur without the undue influence or ownership of those who are in power or already own everything.
People will find a path towards the freedom to talk and organize without repression or manipulation, whether that path includes Mastodon or something else.
No internet gathering place is, nor should be, permanent lest they grow into corruption or uselessness.

I’m seeing bits and pieces of rants by various server admins in the Fediverse that are upset at the idea of big companies building ActivityPub compatible services.
This is really weird to me given many of us have been advocating for social network interop from the OpenSocial days but that got distracted by widgets/gadgets.
This comes across more like gate keeping in the same way nerds don’t want their favorite bands or hobbies to go mainstream.
BMW giving up on dual clutch gearboxes. Thank goodness! I like BMWs, I like them a lot! But the dual clutches were some of the most frustrating things ever created! https://www.autoblog.com/2023/06/19/bmw-done-with-dual-clutches-almost-done-with-manuals/
I've given up and I'm going to the doctor next week. This chronic hip injury is getting to me... :( my adductor is super weak.
