Krytor has announced the RetroTap, an all-in-one power station for retro game consoles.
The unit is capable of powering up to 11 consoles from one supply, and is compatible with 45+ machines across Sega, Nintendo, NEC, Atari, Neo-Geo, and MiSTer hardware.
This is a brilliant design and I'm surprised it took until now to exist. Ordering one as soon as they are available!

Hobonichi delivery day, just in the nick of time. This is the year I organize /everything/. This plan is infallible!
Our Treasure has announced a 1/100 AUGE-Ha MORPHO resin kit, currently available for preorder.
FSS Gothicmade models are beautiful (if occasionally a little samey in the silhouettes), but ho boy does that thing look fragile.

Just in time for the collapse of Gainax, a new version of Diacon III (1981), scanned from the 8mm release, has been uploaded to archive.org:

And to complete the set, here's a laserdisc Domesday Duplicator remaster of Diacon IV (1983), dropped a couple months ago:

Unless an in-house remaster or 8mm reel of IV suddenly appears, these are probably the best versions we'll see of either.
