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.
That’s a sweet monitor
I have a certain amount of warm-and-fuzzies for pretty much anything with a VFD.
This image is genuinely beautiful.
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.
Yep!
This is a render, here is the artist’s page https://www.artstation.com/artwork/nY2ZLr
I thought this was painfully obvious but the comments don’t seem to mind, lol
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!
