I got my hallway back!

One more piece of immersion for retrogaming both in Retroarch and EmuVR! Atari now makes a full on Wireless Atari Joystick, so as a "I Got The Job" present, I picked one up. And it works great, but even better, it comes with an adapter I can use on my 45+ year old Atari 2600!

My NES Controller does double duty as a TurboGrafx controller, and my Genesis one also acts as a controller for the 3DO. I just realized while packing I have a PSX Classic controller, which should work better for PS1 games than the DualShock, since it's missing the analog segment. I'd still use the PS2 controller for PS2 games.....

Starry Stare

I got my office back! All the office boxes are put away.

Fifty years on this planet, twenty six as a woman, I've never had a friendship bracelet. ❤

Our non profit had a holiday party at this barn loft, and let me tell you...I want to live in this barn loft forever and ever.

Things are looking pretty bleak moving forward. They've decided we're the problem needing fixing.

I recently heard this on a Nintendo annoucnement earlier today. I forgot how lovely this sounded. A song totally wasted on Tetris.

Question for the Fighting Gamers in the PS1 and PS2 era.

I was playing the PS1 version of Street Fighter Alpha last night in VR, and I use an old PS2 DualShock controller. I've never liked the PS1/2 controller for fighting games cause the D-Pad is too tight, and the individual directional buttons hurt my thumb after a while.

What was your controller of choice for fighting games? Preferably D-Pads of the PS1 and PS2 era. I personally always preferred the SNES controller, but never found a good PS1/2 era controller.

In celebration of the new job, I've relit the hearth

I really was on the verge of taking boxes into storage Wednesday.

I have half a mind to keep all my toys packed, wait until Christmas Day, and have THE BEST CHRISTMAS EVER unpacking BOXES AND BOXES OF TOYS.

Wanna know a secret?

I got the job. :)

With 25 hours to spare.

Early Christmas gift.

The real reason that the UHC assasin was arrested by police in Altoona was he had a slice of Altoona-style Pizza and liked it.

Breakfast (tacos) for dinner!

Am I the only one who likes non-crispy bacon? I like it just as it's turning red, so the edges are crispy, sure, but that rubbery just about to render fat? MMMMMMMMMMMMM.

Also, I don't like fluffy scrambled eggs, I like scrambled eggs that are just this side of fried. I've become a fan of omlettes cause they're closer to what I like than "proper" scrambled eggs.
