    Oh fuck yeah, give me some of that Elite.

    Legitimately would love to play it again, Elite: Dangerous is super fun, but nostalgia wins.

    Why is the TV set to channel 5?

    In the US, most RF switch boxes supported 3/4 or 2/3. I think some other countries used 36, which usually had no actual broadcasters (it overlaps eith a signal radio-astronomy uses)

      As someone pointed out, this turned out to be a rendering.

      That’s probably a preset number not the UHF channel.

      In the UK (dunno if this is actually a UK photo - although the mug of tea might suggest it is) we had four channels until 1997, so preset 5 was commonly used to tune in to whatever else was connected.

      I can’t take credit for it; I found it online. But my childhood setup was almost exactly the same, so it brought a wave of memories.

    My buddy and I have been cheezin’ out playing elite dangerous vr. Not doing much in the game, really, but basically enjoying the modern version of this pic.

    And every game worked with a joystick. Which you simply plugged in and it worked. Because the joystick ports were right there.

      You know, I was starting to wonder if it was a render. It all looks good, but the lamp kept throwing me off. It’s the part that looks rendered to me. Thanks for the catch!
