Handhelds
I got a Retroid Pocket 2s for Christmas. With a little time, I was downloading and playing games. Having it in my hand, I couldn't help remembering the GP2X. A weird open-source handheld coming from Korea. I honestly can't remember how I heard of it or
Pranks
My favorite prank videos come out of Korea. A young man or woman asks someone in a group of other young people to help them in some way. After the task is complete they thank them, adding "auntie", "auntie", or "uncle". From what I

If you've been on the internet for a minute then you're probably be aware of Smosh. It's one of Youtube's pioneering channels. It has evolved from two teenagers lip-syncing the Pokemon theme song to a full production company with multiple channels, a
For well over two years, I've been holding off on buying a new Switch. My current one was left behind at my mom's from when I stayed with her during the Pandemic. In a fleeting noble moment, I left it behind for my younger relatives who

I was an older brother, yet, I always found myself drawn to Luigi, the younger of the Mario Brothers. His disinterest in the spotlight, bravery in overcoming fears, quick action, and loyalty resonated with me. Also, green has been my favorite color for as long as I can remember. Mario
TV
Over the past couple of days, I've watched five episodes of the 90s classic tv show, Renegade. An over-the-top action-centered melodrama that can only be put into words using the show's intro: He was a cop, and good at his job, but he committed the ultimate
Sounds
Finding music that you like as you get older is so hard. Your tastes have stiffened, culture has changed, your brain has changed, how you consume music has changed, and most importantly music recommendations has changed. It used to be friends, maybe a show, or the weird guy at a
Art
The movement of the body in odd and angular ways, juxtaposed alongside a well-known though aged pop song, has created some of the greatest modern, digital artwork. When not dancing and taking their moment in the spotlight, the artists stand in the background, supporting the art not as a features

William S. Burroughs was an author and icon for many a weirdo starting with the Beat Generation. He wrote about drugs, madness, and practiced non-linear narratives, often using something called the cut-up technique. This practice involved cutting up a writing and rearrange it to reveal new texts and hidden meanings.
It's the holiday season which means dinners, family get-togethers, long nights, lazy days, and overly sweet Hallmark movies. My mom got me hooked on these. Before the Pandemic, I was like most people. I rolled my eyes and endured the same old story of corporate girl returning to
I'd never heard of Metal Hurlant. I had heard of Heavy Metal, the wild and weird comic magazine that told really intense sci-fi and fantasy stories. I also didn't know Heavy Metal was an American magazine published by National Lampoon. I always thought it was an
Now is the time to make video games. I read Rise of the Videogame Zinesters years ago when I was starting my web dev career. I was one of a billion people who decided that going to a dev bootcamp was a good idea. I quickly realized that programming wasn&
The title says it all. The latest Ultraman series is available on Youtube for free and it's dubbed. I know there's always debate about subbed vs dubbed from fans of any non-english IP. However, it's available and already at episode 19! I remember only
This made me feel some heavy, sad nostalgia. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Retro Technologies (@retro.technologies) I remember burning so many CDs. I was in a punk band in high school and college in the late 90s/early 2000s. We just recorded everything we could
Honestly, thought I was the only one that couldn't read the "D" in Disney properly. I'm happy that so many people on this Threads thread are sharing a similar revelation. Yes, it's a great, stylized letter, but damned if I'd
I have a fondness for Gerry and Sylvia Anderson shows. My first introduction was Thunderbirds. The weird marionettes and detailed props were fascinating to me. I had never seen anything like. As I got older, they faded into the past. I had nearly forgotten about it by the time Team
I grew up with guns. My dad, brother, and I would go to a turkey shoot around the Fall, where we'd shot targets with a small gauge shotgun to win prizes. Usually a frozen turkey or ham. As I got older, I had less interest in shooting, but
With the new surge of crypto interest I started digging around my holdings. I don't have more than a few hundred from years ago when I was super broke. Better than nothing, I suppose. However, it reminded me of my head first dive into the utilization of NFT

I love ambient sounds. I'm more of a boring podcast in the background type of guy. I like the constant yammering of them. Music not too much, my brain tends to latch onto that way too much for it to be relaxing. In a pinch, I'll
