I assumed the crank was to charge the battery, that’s cool that it’s a controller.

BUT, does “crankin’ it” mean the same thing to people in Portland, OR that it does to me…? If so, Crankin’ it on a date is something that should be done…with caution and attention to appropriateness…

I’ve got a vintage module for that game, The Caverns of Crystal Reports. I’ll make a ditto of it for you.

Where are the kits for stationary bike adaptions? I asked the store and they didn’t even know what I was talking about. Stupidest three hours I ever spent.

Oddly enough, the last thing I saw from Foddy was downright serene. (perhaps more so on mute)

I immediately signed up for this, but I’m not guaranteeing I’ll buy one. But those developers, and that metal case with machine screws… hnng

  2. I should really really really learn how to use my Teenage Engineering pocket synth/sequencer… Been busy, yo!

Teenage Engineering, Katamari? (I assume there were other words in the post but Teenage Engineering, Katamari?!)

I’m in.
