The devs behind Train Sim World have made a full on Thomas The Tank Engine game and it goes way harder than it needs to.
This 3 hour video of a Thomas fan exploring the world, chuckling and giggling as he goes, has made my day!

Mark Fixes StuffHello Fediverse friends.
This one is a bit embarrassing for me but I post my mistales as well as my wins.
A viewer sent me a Sega Game Gear as a parts-only donor. It had already been recapped, but it still wouldn’t power on.
Part 1 is teardown + diagnosis. I clean up old electrolyte, inspect the previous work, and start tracking the real fault. No miracle fix yet, but we do find a solid lead for Part 2? Maybe?

Thanks to @iFixit who very kindly sent me some new tools for the cabin.

Interviews with people who saw the missing episodes this week, including national treasure Peter Purves.
Very interesting info about 'cutting copies', where a simple print of the negative is struck for BBC Enterprises to check before ordering proper prints for sending overseas.

Doctor Who Quotes🔷 The very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common: they don't alter their views to fit the facts. They alter the facts to fit their views... which can be very uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that needs altering.

I was down on this year's Eurovision. I'm an Anglo-Croat and Croatia's entry is pretty meh (what could beat Rim Tim Tagi Dim?)
But when they announced that Look Mum No Computer is performing for the UK my ears pricked up and have my attention again. Modular Synths on Eurovision? Yes please!

Wasn't sure about the latest Star Cops; story felt a bit janky and bringing back Nathan's movie quoting felt odd after so much time without them. However then I got to the reveal half way through and it started making more sense. Still janky but even the best of the original series were like that.
