Lana Del Ray does the opening theme for the new Bond game.

'Your life like a game' - A bit on the nose but I like it.

I was just thinking that they had nailed the sound of a David Arnold track then I scrolled down and saw that it IS David Flippin' Arnold!

Blake's 7 Series C is up for preorder already. I'm guessing another November release.

Series B seemed to avoid the AI nonsense of the Doctor Who releases, fingers crossed for this one.

Every time I see the 'I'm not a robot' CAPCHA I worry that one day some AGI will take it personally and I'm gonna see an android holding it as a protest sign.

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!

Hello 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.

Retooting is always appreciated (but never expected) :)
