I helped fund the restoration of an old IBM S/34, and now I find myself occasionally thinking about what realtime games you could make run on a 5251 DisplayStation. Tetris would probably be the most engaging. Not sure if you could do it in RPG or COBOL; might require S/34

Serving up corporate chic with a side of nostalgia. Startup and shutdown haven’t sounded this good in a long time! Windows NT → 2000 → XP. Which one’s still music to your ears? #retro #tech #computer #nostalgia #vintage #microsoft #windows #windowsxp #techhistory #pcmr

I miss the ThinkLight on the older ThinkPad laptops, it’s such a practical little solution. Sometimes I prefer this to the crazy backlights on keyboards today. What do you think? More: https://t.co/Eq3cdCGd7A #omakub #retro #computer #thinkpad #tech #pcmr #laptop

Apple’s 2013 ‘trash can’ Mac Pro! Futuristic, flawed, and still sexy as hell 🖤 Stick around for the full video later this week. #apple #macpro #pcmr #retrocomputer #retrotech

Every RPG nerd has their holy grails. Mine? Rhapsody (a musical adventure) and Legend of Dragoon. I can’t wait to play them again on original hardware! ❤️ What’s your favorite RPG? (outfit by @ARITZIA) Check out my Patreon page for more exclusive content. Link in bio!

Because some games can’t be emulated properly, and my nostalgia budget was wide open. Worth every penny! ❤️ #PS1 #retro #retroconsole #playstation #consolegaming #gaming #rpg #nostalgia

Does @TheFIREorg have a position on cases like Collective Shout pressuring payment processors to pressure aggregators like Steam to remove content? Not a regulatory question, but still in the wheelhouse of expression suppression.

This Mac was so powerful, the U.S. government legally banned it from export. One billion operations per second, a graphite body to die for, and curves the Commerce Department wasn’t ready for. The Power Mac G4 wasn’t just fast, it was classified as a weapon 🚀 Full video
