Tim 🎮's Bio
Aussie gamer making new memories from the old. He/him. Writing from Ngunnawal/Ngambri land.
I built a giant Gravis GamePad and am working on USB adapters for old controllers. I beta-tested Secret Agent HD and UnDune2. I once made Toshiba mad at me over copyright. I post mostly #retrogaming, #3dprinting and #arduino stuff here.
Projects:
#Plasbeams
#Thrixels
#CGAPrints
#SerialStinger
#SimpleBreakouts
#SolderingStation
#GravisGamePad

In response to this postIf you're wondering where all the new old gamepad and 3d printing posts have gone from my timeline, this ⬆️ is why - hobby projects are kinda on hold while I sort some personal shit out. Bear with me though, because the fun stuff will be back soon enough - and there'll be plenty of photos of delicious homemade food to soak up in the meantime.

Hey. Has someone made your work life a bit easier this week? Wrote a tool you found useful, invited you along for coffee, managed an office disruption, emptied your bin, shown you a cool keyboard shortcut, caught an embarassing egg that you dropped?
Take a moment today to thank them for it. Give them a reason to end their week on a high. Even a one-sentence email could absolutely make their day.
Boost this so others can think to do the same.

Apropros of nothing, here's the story of how I once helped a company you've heard of get a literal million dollar project back on track, using only the number 2,147,483,647 and MicroProse's 1994 strategy nightmare X-Com: UFO Defense. 🧵

It's Friday night, it's cold outside and I'm still working on that whole social life thing, so here's a long rambly thread about the 15-pin PC gameport and its historical significance, because it's something I want to practice writing about at length (if anyone was silly enough to give me a PhD for something, it'd be for this nonsense).
Feel free to mute this thread if that's not your thing - or if it is, bookmark it for later, or prepare to be en-knowledge-ified!

So, uh, I collect old game controllers - mostly gamepads, but a few joysticks, mice, and weirder things here and there. You can see some of them in the photo below. This collection - and attempting to appropriately document and meaningfully share it - is why I joined Mastodon in the first place. For those of you who follow me for #retrogaming and #retrocomputing stuff but have been cursed by endless 3D printing posts - sorry, the good stuff's coming, I promise. 1/🧵

Have you had that "Upcoming price change for your Microsoft 365 subscription" email yet? They want to charge you an extra 50%ish for AI features, and they do *not* make it easy to find the way to turn it off. It took me minutes of searching - this is a particularly evil dark pattern.
"Switch plan" just lets you pick between annual and monthly billing. You want "Turn off recurring billing" and then "Current subscription without AI".
You're welcome. Please boost for others.

ph, food
I think I have some diabetic-friendly breakfasts locked in (porridge, cereal and toast with low GI tweaks) so I'm moving onto building a better lunch routine. On the weekend I baked buns and will be doing chicken salad rolls like this for a week. Next week I want to try my own "tandoori" marinade and switch it up with wraps.
Dinner plans are a work in progress, not least due to some relationship changes this year, but my guiding mantra for now is "make better choices". #Diabetes #T2D
