Username checks out.

Technically I was born a Geordie, raised a Fifer. So I know Dunfermline (or at least the Dunfermline of the 80s) well.

"80% of all those who suffer from tinnitus have a form known as “somatic tinnitus,” characterized by the ability to alter the pitch of the ringing in one’s ears by clenching the jaw or applying pressure to the forehead."

Woah. I thought everyone could do this. I didn't appreciate that it was releated to my tinnitus. That's wild.

Another in Edinburgh. Although I've been here for (checks notes) 33 years. Yikes.

Doesn't work on Jerboa ☹️ At least I now know why my feed seems to be filled with these html image links.

Definitely. Nothing really caught my attention in terms of the used retro games, but got chatting to Alastair from Lowtek games who was really nice, and just loved the look of the blue cart. Plus any excuse to fire up the old front loader!

I have a feeling this may backfire. I really want to join this subreddit. Is there a Fediverse version?

Butter and marmite. Just make sure to use two knives, unless you're an animal.

Also Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD) is a thing.

Can't beat a bit of Marble Madness. I believe it's in Braehead Arena which is used for Ice Hockey, so hopefully it has a beast of an AC system!

We live in Edinburgh, where the schools finish at lunchtime, so I have about 3.5 hours of freedom.

And this weekend we're going through to the Play Expo retro games thingy in Glasgow tomorrow! Last one was in 2019, so looking forward to that.

They've added a sticky explaining (sort of) their reasoning. And also apologizing to those who think they should remain closed. I was going to cut and paste some parts but then the 5 minute daily screen timer I've imposed for 'the app that shall not be named' ran out.

Something about standing in front of a dam with a sieve.
