@upmultimedia that said, I'm now going to have trouble sleeping thinking about your spiders.

@upmultimedia So glad the spiders in my country are too small to make any noise.

@nikitonsky I'm glad Libreoffice has stuck with it. I always get lost if I ever need to use any version of Word with the 'ribbon'

@killyourfm bowl of Cheetos on the right of the controller?

@gamingonlinux tempted to pick this up. I didn't play the original games but clearly remember the scathing review of Sims 2: H&M Fashion Stuff in PC Zone.

@killyourfm Ooh! Trackball!

@gamingonlinux Dungeon Clawler is very satisfying to play in short bursts but I stayed up way too late finishing a mission in Creeper World IXE last night.

@killyourfm I've had good luck finding delisted games for cheap on key selling sites. Got Duke Nukem Manhatten Project and Prey 2006 for only a few bucks. I checked out yours however and most of them are listed for silly money (Best deal for War for Cybertron is 463 euros!)

@killyourfm That looks like the Anbernic RG35XX in the bottom right.

I've ordered their new SP form factor version which should arrive soon. I never owned the GBA SP but the pocket-able clam-shell design speaks to me.

@killyourfm I feel you on number 1.
I had one idea to go through each and every one, play for at least an hour and write a review.

Hard mode would be to do it in alphabetical order.

@killyourfm Hoping for some guest stars and cameos in the Academy series.

Finally restored my #iPod 5th gen, inspired by @killyourfm

Went all black with the case. New screen and battery and a 64GB CF card for storage. Dumped my #Bandcamp collection as FLACs on there to run through #Rockbox

@killyourfm I feel left out. I think I've only ever had a couple of bits of spam on Masto and at the time I thought "yeah, we're a real social platform now!"

Perhaps I should run my own instance and be the one in charge of blocking it all. The instance I'm on is perhaps too good.

@killyourfm I've dug out my 5th gen and started speccing upgrades.

Obviously I'm gonna replace the drive with flash memory and the batt with a fresh one.

I'm tempted to get a new casing in some funky colours. But the screen has dead lines of pixels which unfortunately doubles the cost of renovation and as the faceplate is in pretty good condition I might hold off on that.

I bought this thing second hand back in 08 specifically to run Rockbox on it, I never used the Apple firmware.

@killyourfm 25 euros for a single disk album like Thriller, bit more for the doubles and there are a few for as low as 20.
I found a reddit post saying they are cheaper than in Dancing Bear.

@killyourfm Yeah, both stores in Osijek have at least one basket full near the checkouts. The one in the mall had a couple of record players there too.

@killyourfm I went into Müller the other day and found they have a basket of vinyl. My 5yo boy is mad for Micheal Jackson right now and insisted we buy Thriller. There were 3 versions, all the same price. I argued we get the picture disk as that's pretty cool but no, he insisted on the 40th anniversary edition which just seems to have a different cover picture.
Thankfully my daughter wasn't with me or she would have snapped up all the Bowie, Queen and Black Sabbath
