I bought these at a comic shop a year or two ago. I'm trying to downsize a few things. Which one would you keep if you could only keep only one?

I wonder what the story is behind these little guys. How did they end up abandoned in the dirt along the main walkway? 😔

Why is it that the most important book in the world is so complicated, needs a lifetime of academic study, and no one can agree on it? 😅

From the Big Two, we know that Watchmen, Dark Knight Returns, Secret Wars, etc are Top 10 Must Read.

But, from the Indies, would you put Scott Pilgrim on the list?

Chew made an epic run of Harley covers a few years ago. So fun!

It's the modern operating system that fits on a single floppy disk! I recently tried it on my Windows 98 HP Pavilion and it's pretty fun. It's got games productivity apps and a way to connect to the internet; what more could you want? 💾

Hello Vintage Digital Camera Fans!

August has started and that means it's time for a new Theme. Let's reminisce on last month's winners, first.

Last Month: Countryside

There were several idyllic shots taken last month. u/charlorttel got the most upvotes with their a lakeside treat (shot on a 2009 Nikon D300s). This shot truly looks like a painting! Next up is u/PistachioSage and their Reminds me of that one wallpaper (shot on a PSP-300 GoCam from 2007). See for yourself and you'll think you've seen it before! And then we have u/bensonstreaker and their Coastal Flyby (shot on a Fuji Finepix F47fd (2007). Lastly, the Mod's Choice Award goes to u/tree-lover-29 and their dried stream (shot on a Sony Cyber-shot W310 from 2010). A lot is said in this silent image...

Anyway, remember to check out the Theme Flair to see all past and future entries.

Around Reddit

Here's a collection of subreddits I like to visit. You may, too!

The Dell Optiplex is a vibe, and r/SleepingOptiplex is all about bringing these "classic" computers back to life. There's Marvel comics and DC comics, and there is r/altcomix. This one can be a bit NSFW sometimes, so be aware. Learn about binding your own books at r/bookbinding. When you just need some encouragement, check out r/MomForAMinute .

Reminder that if you have a glitched camera that is on its last pixels, please visit r/DigitalCameraSwanSong and let's give it its final time to shine! Full disclosure: I recently became the Mod of that Community after it was abandoned for a year.

As usual, if you need help, check the ANSWERED Flair, or our Wiki, and then ask in r/digicam as redundant questions have been moved there (Rule 13). Thanks to everyone that reports Rule 11 and Rule 13 violations. It helps keep our Community running. 👍

Good Luck

This month's Theme is about Night photography (however you [reasonably] define that), so post away. I can't see where your creativity leads us. 📸

Most people show off when they've installed Linux by running neofetch, but I say let's normalize showing off by running nyancat!

Well, it IS a horror-themed series, so...

In my last post (https://www.reddit.com/r/retrocomputing/s/qOx3W3GPFq) I shared the mystery graphics card I had recently come into possession of. Here it is running on a classic HP Pavilion 6730, with Kolibri OS for fun. That's the operating system that runs off a floppy disk.

I'm not a religious person, but I've got too many hobbies. One of them is reading and collecting Bibles. I've been recently on the lookout for graphic novel/comic book Bibles.

This one is a condensation of the Gospels, with some cool art. It was published by a Scandinavian firm with art by Jose Perez Montero.

On page 1 of the story, I already see a glaring error, do you?

Found this Trident card in a forgotten store closet at work. Thoughts?

I'm ditging through some old stuff and I found this issue of "Toons: The Animation Magazine" from 1998. On the back cover it features a couple of classic anime that you could get on VHS, from good old Suncoast. Remember Suncoast??

I had this when I moved off to college.

I need to do a video where I flip through every page of this treasure someday (subscribe to my YouTube!!), but in the meantime enjoy some snaps from the 1997 student faculty and staff telephone directory. Hey, that's me!

I picked up this vintage Sony tower (2001) a few months ago and was playing with it today. Just for fun, I installed the CLI version of Debian 12. So far so good but the fan runs at full blast, and I doubt I'll be able to deal with it because of Sony's proprietary implementation of it. 🌬️

While rummaging through a box of old stuff, I found this souvenir from 1994, the 25th anniversary of San Diego Comic-Con.

I was up a bit early, so I decided to lug my rig to a nearby park (mental note: pare down the rig!) to try out my new DIY antenna with FT8. Very happy with the results as I made contact with an operator in the Philippines for the first time!

Rig:

Xiegu X6100 connected to my Surface Pro. I'm still tuning the antenna, but it's a 20 meter band EFHW connected to a 64:1 UnUn in an Inverted Vee configuration. Outputting 5 watts from the X6100 and getting ~50w from the Micro PA100+ amp. Listening to a great rag chew Net on the Explorer QRZ-1, too.

Loc: DM12mp.

How's your day been so far? 📡
