Got back into photography, so I sold off most of my old gear and bought a Canon EOS R. First time getting into mirrorless, and quite glad I did.

Matching sea turtle bracelets for me and monkeygirl that come with a tracking number for specific sea turtles so you can learn more about them. It's a conservation fundraiser thing.

A new fold out type camping chair with a side table.  Had to get rid of my folding lounge chair after the field mice made a nest in the head rest and crapped and peed the hell out of it.  Think I'll put it at the end of the driveway with a free sign on it!

^I remember family friends having one of those. I don't know why but our family ended up with a SpectraVideo. Games on tape.

1. My son would be incredibly jealous. He collects vintage systems.
2. I grew up with one and this was one of my favourite games.

Two Japanese tile paintings from the Salvos. A woman brought them in and asked if we would like them. I replied that yes, I would like them.

^That's pretty cool, Dunc. Where did you get it?

I bought a projection lens on ebay. The garage screen is now larger so I'll have to replace every single lens.

Amazon, believe it or not. I've been waiting for the fuckers to come back in production.  :zoinks:

Best bit is it comes with a proper old school 'competition pro' style joystick with the clicky microswitches, and you can load ROMs from a usb stick and save shit. Fiddling about with the tape drive I DON'T miss.  :nerdy:

I wonder what the SID emulation is like, apparently it's quite difficult to accurately replicate since it's an analogue/digital hybrid sound chip.

I'm tempted to set mine up again, but alas I only have room for 1-2 computers set up at the moment, and I already have my Win98 gaming PC and iMac G3 currently set up/taking up space. We're supposed to be living in a 3 bedroom house, but British homes are fucking tiny!
