Took the kids to Melbourne Museum today to see 'Relics', a temporary exhibition depicting a post-apocalyptic world where LEGO minifigs have risen from the debris to craft new civilisations in discarded human artefacts.

I have to say that this repurposed old Space Invaders cab certainly caught my eye.

You might see friends today suggesting you support Hard Drive on Patreon today. You know, the funny video games version of The Onion? As a journalist, I will firmly tell you DO NOT GIVE THEM A DIME.

The CEO has pushed out all former staff that have built the site up to its current greatness and has been pushing use of AI. The staff begged to have a Patreon before basically all being pushed out, but the idea was refused until now, when it will only line the pockets of a single person instead of hard working writers.

I know they might have provided laughs before, but Hard Drive is a shell of what it was once. Let it die and support the people who actually made those moments of joy possible.

Edit: I am trying to compile all of the sources of info at this time into one big post for ease of access, if you want to keep up with that as it's updated: https://www.tumblr.com/literalgrill/738694194534776832/do-not-support-hard-drive-on-patreon

Retro #gaming is a massively popular Raspberry Pi application, and while loading your favourite old #videogames onto an SD card is pretty straightforward, building the physical shell of a gaming system can be daunting for those of us without 3D printers or design skills of any kind.

PiBoy Mini bridges that gap by providing partially-assembled devices to their customers. The rest is BYORP: bring your own #RaspberryPi.

My latest #BeatSaber level struggle has been stuck in my head since I decided to have a go at it. The map is a nightcore remix of Juice Wrld's "Wasted": https://beatsaver.com/maps/1ace0

There are many things about this map/song that are not my usual: long streams, Juice Wrld (😂), and a fair amount of high-pitched noise.

I'm currently stuck at the tail end of this second long stream, where the blocks become stacked: https://youtu.be/ELdLZrELRfE?t=99 I've got it 85% speed, but no faster.

Had a delightful #BeatSaber session this evening, and landed on a wonderfully difficult and clever map: tofubeats' "CANDYYYLAND (Pa’s Lam System Remix)", mapped by Saut: https://bsaber.com/songs/294c/

Here's a very skilled person playing on Expert, the hardest difficulty I beat: https://youtu.be/3XjdriFOgLk (unrelated: they have wildly low-contrast block arrows! 🤯) The segment starting at 2:48 in that video is so smoothly mapped that I didn't even get tangled up in left-handed mode.
