I loved the 2600 because that was all we could afford when I was a kid. I liked the ColecoVision and Intellivision graphics better though. Luckily, some of my friends had both.

Try a Couch to 5K program. You start off mostly walking and slowly increase the amount of running. There are a bunch of great phone and watch apps. I like Watch to 5K for the Apple Watch (one-time purchase, no subscription).

Found the El Guapo fan.

Scary. Thanks for posting this.

VR

It doesn’t show up on Usenet. It seems to be displaying results for some other (more modern) show. If you don’t mind some ads, it’s on Pluto.

I believe SpaceInvaderOne is considered one of the best at explaining the setup:

After all that work and documentation?! I say stick with Open Garage!

Ordered two Ratgdos yesterday. Hopefully the wait isn’t too long.

Blue’s News has been around for a long time. I’ve always found that it provides good, general video game coverage.

My Precious,

Nasty, tricksy apologies, we must give. Yes, yesss, we must, my precious. We’s been naughty, we has, with our previous letter about our precious game ‘Gollum.’ We’s sorry, oh yes, very, very sorry.

Nasty, precious feedback we got, and we knows it’s true. We takes it back, oh yes, we does. We wants to make our precious ‘Gollum’ better, we does, for all the good players out there.

We promises, my precious, to make it right. Changes and fixes, we’ll bring them, oh yes, we will. We’ll listen to our precious players and make it better, we will.

Forgive us, my precious, for our earlier mistake. We didn’t mean to hurt you, no, not at all. We loves our precious players, we does, and we’ll make ‘Gollum’ shine, just for you.

Thank you, my precious, for being patient. We’ll make it better, we swears.

So excited! I love Wilford Brimley!

Looks like it might have been Games with Gold (not Gamepass). I couldn’t find it on GP but it was GwG last year.

Aahhh… much better.

I like Unraid for the server operating system. It is a paid product but very easy to use. You can run all of the ‘arr’ apps in docker. The docker installs are done from their Community Apps store.

Dolly Parton at the Nashville rotating restaurant (on top of the Sheraton in the 90s). I was having dinner with a friend and just getting to know her better. She was explaining to me how she always runs into celebrities. She carried around an autograph book everywhere she went. We go to leave and Dolly is coming in. My friend gets another autograph. Dolly was very sweet and very short.

Edit: remove extra words

iOS - Due (https://www.dueapp.com). The thing I love about this app is that you can set tasks to snooze and it will continually remind you anywhere between 1 minute and 1 hour after the snooze. It’s great for time-critical tasks.

MacOS - Keyboard Maestro (https://www.keyboardmaestro.com/main/). I’m probably only using 5% of this app’s capability. The main edge case that works well for me is that it will do text expansion in my Parallels Virtual Machines. I believe it’s the only text expansion app that does this correctly/consistently.
