Very random retro things from me, Rik. I dabble with a lot of vintage computers, retro games, consoles, hand helds, and more. Some might even say that's a lot of random retro things. youtube.com/c/riksrandomretro
Just a guess, but it seems it's trying to authenticate to the secure service on the other tenant (that has the user who sent the email), using the home/normal account, and they don't have that allowed on their side with their external collab settings. Browser it is!
A screen showing the mac version of the game civilization
Well the French civilization was coming along nicely, until meeting a neighbor caused the game to freeze...

I'm always fascinated by different ports of games. In this case the resolution boost makes a big difference compared to the other versions!

I mean seriously. I love games with good art direction. Thinking back 10 yo me would have been blow away by a render of a scene like this. Playing it in real-time feels unreal (unreal 5, even).

Finally got stuck back into playing Avowed, and it hooked me this time. I absolutely love the art style with all the fantastic color pops, and sweeping landscapes. It's painfully beautiful at times.
Just the type of game I needed right now. The combat is super fun too.
I think you mean peak humor.
A Commodore Amiga 1200 playing the game Roguecraft DX
Here we go again! Trying out Roguecraft DX. The original version was great, so had to grab this as well.
I love new games for old systems!
To be fair, it's an experience you take your time with. Running feels against the sprit of it!
I played this way late, recently actually, and was not prepared for this game. Truly amazing experience.
The box for the pc game Fallout 2
Now that's a pickup! I always keep an eye out for some of the big hitters that cost more than I care to pay. This popped up for a great price so I jumped on it.
Excited to have this one!
Really sorry to hear that. Things sound tough but hopefully they improve.
I'm far from an Amiga expert but when people ask me where to start with the platform, I always recommend Amigavision. It's a great way to dive right into gaming.
Running it on real hardware is icing on the cake. Great package!

Yeah love seeing projects like these!
A CRT style TV showing the game Vigilant Paradise, a new game for the Sega Saturn
Well this is pretty cool. An FPS for the Saturn, called Vigilant Paradise!
I haven't played it much yet, but it's a cool type of game that's not well represented on the Saturn.
You can buy it here: playnautic.itch.io/vigilant-par..., and plays great using a Saroo.
Neat!
Looks awesome. But where is the ninja rapping Vanilla Ice?
Time appears to be accelerating...

I saw a car today with a dog in the back seat, head out the window, wearing goggles. You go dog, live your best life.
I already use a Bazzite-powered Steam machine as my main gaming rig, but I wanted one for the living room too. The not-steam-machine-but-kinda-steam-machine!
Ryzen 5500 and RX 7600 I believe is close to the upcoming Steam Machine, and it works great! Steam library access in the living room.
I just randomly came across this on the Steam sale, and it feels like a hidden gem! Mixing Metal Slug with metroidvania it's a perfect match. A literal blast to fight your way through the environment with gorgeous pixel graphics. Perfect for the Steam deck.

Pixels the size of your hand!
I'll admit I was trying to be cheeky asking if the pizza was new york style... but sounds delicious either way!
What type of pizza is it?
Small world indeed! Those Nec monitors look sweet!
An lcd monitor displaying the Amiga workbench screen
Work is getting rid of old, unused monitors. Being who I am, I checked model numbers for 15khz compatible ones. And sure enough, score!
This Viewsonic handles the Amiga natively. Far from perfect in forced wide mode, and with jailbars. But hey it's still cool, and handy!

An N64 without a shell for testing
The wiring for the rgb mod for the n64
I've had an RGB mod (Voultar's) for the N64 sitting around for ages. Today was finally the day and holy smokes! Coupled with a set of HD Retrovision cables the picture just pops!
Well worth it to squeeze a bit mote quality out of the N64.
Don't think I saw the specs listed yet, but it's likely similar, if not the same SOC. It comes with the new Settlers 2 port, which is fairly demanding, so that may be a good sign?
