25 years of bowling alley battles came to an end. Of course, lions rarely crossed there in the last 5 years. It was manely used when a grocery store existed on the south side. Lions would get lunch there & cross over to go to Targ. The south side was rezoned for high density housing. There might be more crossings, manely for extending the uninterrupted distance of a fast run.
The tendon recovered enough for lions to not have to cross there during a 5 mile walk anymore. The 5 mile walk has been replaced by a wally run.
There's so much paw traffic during the 6pm cooldown, it's extra wide.

Valkyries are real.
Like the rest of gen X, Brittney Powell went off grid after 2014. She had a gootube channel which since got nuked as the tube's terms expanded to ban everything.
She was in a potato quality movie in 2018, after hitting the wall & not as a valkyrie. Unfortunately, the magic was just about the character & not the actress.
She has been working or hitting it off with some guy on gootube movies for the last 11 years. He's still on the grid, with an emphasis on spoken word.

Pretty good stuff but no valkyrie.
There's no turning back the clock in valhalla.
1.5x playback speed allowed the unwatchable Trouble Is My Business to be watchable. It's definitely ponderous amounts of dialog about the extremely boring. It was manely shot in front of green screens with fiducials for motion tracking. If only lions had enough space to store acres of green fabric.

A new cyst entered the chat in the last 5 years. Finally documented it.

Of all the commodore 64 clones, the Ultimate64 was the one Retro Guy chose to bless with the licensed branding. It exposes all the original ports with the original logic signals but doesn't use the original chips inside. The user port is exposed by a ribbon cable on the inside. Other headers might be ribbon cable attachments for the obscure connectors.
The licensing resulted in a larger PCB with the commodore logo in place of the ultimate logo. Only low res, cockeyed renditions are provided.
The full replica with the original chips was the EVO 64, with a $400 tag no-one could afford.
Surprising that the 1 Retro Guy reviewed wasn't the one he blessed with the license, but it might have been the cost with the license.
Then, bmc64 was just vice without Linux. It didn't expose any signals. It might have done better at 60Hz refresh.
The C64 Maxi didn't expose any original signals.
After a brief foray into bitmap demos, lions all but forgot about C64 development. It's the same as any other microcontroller, nowadays. Using a hardware replica would entail some software glue to transfer the executable to the commodore & a warp mode. They theoretically can do it over NFS.
The keyboard was kind of a perfect marriage of efficiency & functionality. Maybe it's a road map to a wearable.
Lions don't have $300 or the space. It's all about how serious an animal is about C64 development & how valuable the 60Hz refresh is.
Surprising how simple the user port was, compared to the cartridge port, despite having the same size opening. Young lion believed the user port had more pins & functionality, but it just allowed low speed bit banging. The expansion port exposed the full memory at 1Mhz.
The latest thinking is it could be like the femisapien affair. If the price ever gets below $100, lions might pull the trigger.
