Radioshack Robie Sr. in the original box. I honestly dont think any component has ever been so much as taken out. Everything in there, down to the RadioShack own batteries, is in it’s original cellophane wrapping bar the actual robot which I imagine wasn’t in anything to begin with. Theres even the original Federal Express delivery documentation from when it was transported from the USA to UK dated Sep1986. Any info that anyone could provide would be much appreciated.

I bought some disks off eBay for my original breadbin Commodore 64 / 1541 drive, and thankfully they seem to be working great. It's been decades since I've used a floppy disk and I honestly don't know how to use these labels correctly. I was going to just put them in the large open area in the top right, but it would overlap either the factory label or the write-protect sticker. Google said they are supposed to go over the top edge, but I haven't found any pictures online of this actually being done. Anyone have knowledge they could share? Thank you!

Looking for any nyan cat merch! Use to be big in hot topic during early 2000‘s! Hard to find online for me personally :p

Took way too long to solve but it's done. Found at a yard sale last weekend.

Testing my old PS2 slim.

Been a while I did not boot it.

The house is being repainted.

So everything is a mess.

Received a scaler since I couldn't plug it to anything.

This is a gbsc pro.

こんにちは! Everyone!
Akira here. A lot has occurred since the last update. To fall back on the previous update, we’ve discussed The Memory Paint software I’ve been working on. To give everyone a quick refresh of the goal of the software. Memory Paint is designed to be an art software that is meant to best replicate real life art mediums, with flawless, and easy effort. The purpose is to allow anyone of any background with or without a history of art, to be able to create a masterpiece simply and easily.
This has been a fun, and eye opening project for me, and at the age of 27, growing up obsessed with tech, and quirky computers and inventions, this would be my first project that I’ll be putting out there. My mom is Japanese, and my dad is French Canadian, my mom side of the family is made up of artists, while my grandfather, and a few of my family members on my dad’s side, worked at IBM in NC before the Charlotte branch dissolved. So, in a way, this project kinda serves as a blend of two philosophies I grew up with.
In the last post, we’ve worked on a physical prototype for the software, I’ve dubbed it “The Tech Canvas”
While the first prototype was aesthetically pleasing, the hardware simply couldn’t handle the software. So, going back to the drawing board, I’ve decided to rethink and go with a new design. From the images and the sketch you see, the big component that will most definitely stay, is the art easel. Which, not only looks pretty cool, it made it comfortable to use when testing the software with a sketch pad.
Prototype 2 was a massive success!!
As far as when the Tech Canvas will go into the market for sale? It’ll be a while, I’d much rather perfect something, and offer quality over quantity. It won’t be any time soon sadly :( sowwy!!! But expect it to launch with a low price ($90 or less)

So, in the youtube video, I went through a quick demonstration of Ver 1.2. I will say, I’m not a youtuber, the video sucks lol, and it’s pretty hard to tell what I’m clicking on when showcasing the software. Here’s what I’ll say about Version 1.2 of Memory Paint. Wet on Wet techniques have been added for all three mediums, a line straightener tool has been heavily worked on, now any shape, squiggly line, or sketch, will now have perfect curves, angles, etc. This is still a work in progress as you can see in the youtube video lol. Other features have also been fixed to where it’ll run as intended.

Version 1.3 is now in development. A ton of new things are getting added! And it’ll def be a massive improvement over 1.2

As always, I’m looking for feedback for anyone who is down to test out what is currently available on my itch.io page, and Version 1.3 that is stil being worked on. If anyone wants to hit me up, feel free to leave me a comment and message and I’ll get back with ya!

Thank you everyone for the amazing support!! ^w^

Shadow of Mordor is maybe the only one in the image that isn't really Retro, and the Hot Wheels cars.

Spellforce 2 is the only one in here that caught my eye the most. The rest not interested in as much, or already have them on Steam or Xbox, or maybe both.
