the video game crash isn't real lol you just live in the wrong country

Show thread

reminder that the "video game crash of 1983” happened in ONE COUNTRY ONLY. the video game industry THRIVED outside the USA in the 80s.

"Banjo is remembered because it is better" if you bothered to read the thread, you'd understand that doesn't matter because most of the people revering Banjo right now haven't played the games. The first game is 23 years old.

Essentially, we've allowed the childhoods of like 10 YouTubers to re-write history, and everyone else plays along with it because they're young and don't want to sound stupid.

And since it's been happening for so long, it gets repeated by people who weren't even alive back then.

I think this more goes to show just how North America-centric retro game discussion, analysis, and media is on the internet; when that doesn't reflect how the culture developed elsewhere in the world. twitter.com/laidbackstrat/stat

Lembrando apenas que tentam meter esse louco falando que os atos do "Fora Collor" eram apoliticos, verde-e-amarelo, "do povo" e apartidario, mas ele era assim na real: twitter.com/UOLNoticias/status

looks like the transistor it was tapping into might be dead and the bodge was there to keep power going through the board? it's a BC337, i don't have any equivalents.. i found some BC548s in my parts box but they're rated for lower current than the 337

Show thread

so now i need to figure out why that bodge wire is there and how to fix the original issue without introducing hum

Show thread

so i think i found the issue.. there's a bodge wire i thought could be factory but on second inspection isn't, it's bypassing output of the bridge rectifier into the emitter of a transistor, i'm not sure why, but once i removed it the hum was gone... along with the FM circuitry

Show thread

there's no visible damage anywhere, no leaky or blown caps, no broken traces or cold solder joints. does anyone have any experience with audio amps of this vintage to give me a hand on where to start troubleshooting the hum? 2/2

Show thread

i have an 80s Toshiba Bombeat SX-28 boombox, it uses a TDA1515BQ amp. there's a rather annoying hum on the left channel but not on the right one, and it doesn't seem to change at all in volume with the volume knob or disappear if i mute the left channel with the balance knob 1/2

It's ridiculous that advertising is so fucking prevalent in our lives (to the point that we literally can't escape it short of staying home & not using electronics) and yet advertisers feel so entitled as to project their puritan morals onto those leveraging their services
