Ren - Moved to chitter.xyz @Nine@computerfairi.es

remembering that one time when I was at this open air fair thing and there was a greyhound rescue stand advertising their stuff for donations and awareness and they had a couple of greyhound dogs there and I went to go check em out outta curiousity and one of the two dogs was just like "...h-hi..." and just... leaned against me looking super nervous but super happy to have company and she was so lovely and pettable and aaaaa <3 <3 <3

if i wasn't so attached to my Gunstar Heroes reference in my display name right now, I would totally change it to "360 Panoramic Cornflake POV" for giggles.

Someone fuckin' took a bag of mostly finished cornflakes out of its box, plopped it on their kitchen table, and then stuck a camera inside and made a panoramic photo of it. then stuck it on wikipedia, because...

...POV cornflakey goodness I guess???

.... I love it???

Okay so... looking at the wikipedia page for Cornflakes and...

... someone has included a 360 photo of the inside of a cornflakes bag

Why

why have they included a 360 pan around picture of the INSIDE of a cornflakes bag!? in a room????

... I mean I don't MIND because it's kinda silly and cool but... XD

to be fair I DO need a new case. like... maybe an actualy good one.

the fan moves. she wants to play with it. she keeps swatting at it and making it grind against my case. hhhh

thulhu no please stop playing with my computer fan D:

Thulhu was yelling, so I picked her up, and she curled up on my lap. ;w; this kitty is so soft and lovely and cuddly

some sorta helicopter overhead ors omething making the deepest fuckin' bass rumble I've ever heard and aaa ai hate it

it's bedding time

...actually maybe I can one sec.

I'm PRETTY sure the spectrum DOES actually work but without having a tv I can test it on because I don't have a (assumedly) working cable I can't really tell. Supposedly the spectrum has a built in speaker but I think that's only the older versions, and the newer +2A etc send sound through the tv... So I can't even tell if the "clicks" of selecting menus or pressing keys is playing. :<

aw no. I can't get it to display a signal on my tv :/

...might be the tv cable is buggered, might be the AV connector on the spectrum itself. power goes on, but I can't tell what it's doing or if it loads tapes. beh.

oh jeez damn i could probably get like... £100 at least for it on ebay o-o; I don't have any of the peripherals any more (which is super annoying because I DID have a really nice joystick for it, I have two kempston interfaces as well!) OR the box or manual but... I do have a fair collection of good games. Far less than I used to, I think a lot got thrown out sadly :/

genuinely kinda miffed about the joystick situation. Wonder where the bloody hell that got to?

hhh might have to sell my spectrum. :<

I wasn't gonna play it I suppose, I was gonna maybe stick it in a display case, because I can just... you know, emulate perfectly the whole thing without the wait times and stuff. Still, feels like cutting off part of my childhood.

...

....you know what on second thoughts I don't feel quite as bad about this as I did? This way at least someone will get to enjoy it too, maybe! Heck it might get used at least instead of just... sitting there. Neglected.
