How is the best way to copy floppies anyway? I mean they often grow mould that has a habit of infecting your drive. Do you clean the 300 floppies first? 😮
Re: Vogons users, how do you deal with anxiety?

I have a concrete tip if you are feeling anxious. Practice mindfulness. It might sound silly but it's amazing how slow, deep breathing helps your body relax. I'm sure there are exercises on YouTube.

Tomb raider 1-3 are good if you are into that. What about GTA 1 and 2. Still cool games! What about Turok or a personal favorite: Drakan. It might be stretching the hardware though. Oh and one I personally would like to try again: Ignition.

C&C: Red Alert 2 - Yuri’s Revenge YR1.jpg YR2.jpg My C&C collection is now complete, Yuri’s Revenge was the last one I wanted. Out of the C&C's I like it's the only one I haven't yet beaten, actually I've never even tried it so I see a RA2+YR playthrough in my very near future. I might still one …

Command & Conquer Generals was a cool game. I think I only tried the demo or something. If I remember correctly it came out close to bf1942 or something similar so no one played it online.

I mostly think about big box copies. I'm not a collector per day but I like to have some games in big box. Maybe have 20. Some that I just bought to trade for others later. My most recent purchase actually not very expensive but I liked the box art: That is one hell of a weird boxart. The Krynn …

somewhat retro hardware, a VIA Epia-5000 mini ITX motherboard. It only has one PCI slot but I think I will do something fun with it. will be fun to play around with it and see what it can do.

You guys who buy a lot of games, have no noticed a significant increase in prices lately? I have a feeling priced has almost doubled the last few years. I haven't noticed any price increase, but I've been looking at nearly exclusively PC games at my local selling site. The highly sought for games …

Re: Choosing the right capacitors for a recap

I'm also a guy who easily overthinks these things. And put projects on hold because I get overwhelmed by the choices. One thing that holds me back is that it's frustrating to put projects on hold until you get the right components. What capacitors are most common and recommended to keep in stock? I …

Nokia is Finnish. Ericsson was the Swedish brand, partnered with Sony in the early 2000s then stopped making phones. I was just a kid so idk about exact years, but cellphones were mostly for taxi drivers and salesmen in the 80s or so, but in the late 80s early 90s a small minority who were special …

Did you know that mobile phones are called "Handy" in germany? In Sweden we used to call cellphones 'nalle' (teddybear). Probably derived from 'yuppienalle'. It was meant to mock the strange people who thought themselves so important not to be able to leave home without their phone in the 80s and …

I usually use cyanoacrylate glue (super glue) and sprinkle baking soda on it to glue plastics. You can do it several times to get it very strong. Not sure how it would work in this case though, that one crack is nasty.

Finished The Legend of Kyrandia - Book Three: Malcolm's Revenge by Westwood. It's the worst in the series. The graphics hasn't aged very well with the early 3d prerendered environments. Sound quality was pretty bad on my sb16 so I played it on my gravis ultrasound which was ok. I don't think it has …
