Stream tonight probably another controller repair and maybe work on Atari video circuit. Next week I will be away, but might still do a remote live stream. Anyway, see you tonight at 8pm central!

Man ROMANCING THE STONE is on a copyright tear! This was from the Last Jedi review.

Fun fact I had to split up the Last Jedi video into parts because the whole one got blocked. Breaking it up revealed something. The main scenes Disney blocked were the Luke Heel Turn. All the stuff that happens before Rey leaves the planet. Disney knew fans hated those parts in particular. Claims = hey that's ours, we are taking as revenue. Blocks = you can't show this in YouTube. They BLOCK certain parts of Last Jedi, but not the whole thing.

After last night's stream, I was thinking about trying to recreate the Arch Deluxe. Don't know if that would be a stream or a video. The burger part I'm not sure about, the best way might be just to buy a quarter pounder at McDonalds. Thoughts?

I kinda wanna make an Atari 2600 game now. Since it's 50 years removed from the coding I do for my day job. Could be fun!

Stream tonight, kind of torn. MULTIPLE things to do. Another controller order, but I also wanna make a cartridge for my Atari test ROM, try it on real hardware, and work on Atari LCD. Thoughts? Controllers probably get boring maybe I could do that on my own tomorrow night...

OK going to do a controller build stream tonight. 8PM central US time. I'm also re-printing the Nomad battery pack, it could stand to be tighter when clipped to the back. The important thing is knowing it works, so easy to just tweak and print another. Unless I'm in California of course! #sawItOffFloatItAway

Was planning to stream Nomad screen tonight but we'll have to see. Been doing a LOT of chainsawing today not sure if my hands will be steady. If not, maybe Tuesday night? Monday is controller stream.
