In an ideal world I'd make a living writing pulp fiction and making obscure games for obsolete hardware with no audience.

Heading: "You are permanently trapped in the parallel world. You live like a hermit on fish and seaweed. You have failed in your mission."

If your Phase Realignment Wave gets stuck between mirrors then you're S.O.L., pal.

(This thing inches a little closer to finished, thanks to my spouse for starting a sort of body double craft/creative time.)

I scored a fairly robust classical cassette tape collection today, complete with storage case, for next to nothing. Whoever left this behind, it's now in good hands.

Cross your fingers... Wish the seller had boxed the original box.

The PS/1 was the second computer I owned after an 8088. It won't be a perfect match to anything I now have, but if it works (...) it will bring me some warm fuzzies.

Currently, this is Schrodinger's Monitor.

I love mid 90s raytraced adventure games dearly, and Yopachi absolutely delivers on that era with Monster Mansion 3D, submitted for the DOSember Game Jam:

Waiting for the monitor to have a good moment to take a "screenshot"... But a nice opportunity to share a less cluttered picture of the Tandy with its various bits.

The Tandy 2500 mouse was such a cool design.

Briefly redeemed for color and a better shot, DOS jam effort on a Tandy 386sx/20 currently without a hard drive. Runs very reasonably off diskette. Very satisfying!

I had to run it off a diskette as I need a smaller CF card to play well with the BIOS, which exposed some areas of performance improvement, and the monitor is missing blue ruining the space ocean vibe, how-the-ever, I just beat the first level of my little game on a real 386sx/20 for the first time, and that's cool. Also this means I can put "Hard Drive optional" on the Itch page.

That began as tongue in cheek, but when I got out the Aptiva to troubleshoot the CF to IDE situation, I was given a 10 minute countdown. But behold, we have geometry, so pancakes may commence.
