Well I'd say my kids know me and what I like, with a little help from @geekate.bsky.social. Happy father's day to all the geek dads out there!

The cycle of loading up various retro systems with roms to then gather dust continues. Perhaps I'll even use this one!

There were some Amiga goodies waiting for me at home as well. A midi cable, and a cf card relocator bundle.

Well hello, found this waiting for me when I finally made it home.

We've enjoyed our time traveling, but now it's time to head on back home. So long, and thanks for all the fish we didn't eat. Homeward bound!

The first photo was from when Mass Effect 3 had just come out. Had to make it work to be able to play that one, which I had anticipated for a long time. Oh and my kid too, I guess. That same kid who now can easily school me in just about any game...

Easily the best part of this trip. Our boys, who have not been around much water, especially beaches, got completely engrossed playing for several hours by the water. Digging channels, redirecting water, building embankments... pure kid joy. The water was cold, but they didn't mind one bit.

This is the same Shuttle system still in service. As is Zoe of course! The other I believe is a fairly run of the mill P4 system I have since scavenged for random projects.

I want to edit this so that any time a rock goes flying it makes a random fart noise. Because I'm a very mature adult person.

Rik's Random Retro

Closing this out with another not-so-retro Rik: 2012/2014/2016. By the time the third kid comes along you're too tired to game for a while; had to pass the baton to the next generation. @riksrandomretro.com

A little less retro today as this is from 2010. But it features a much younger Zoe! Think she was about a year old. She's been @riksrandomretro.com's PC partner from the very beginning

Video of the components from the PC build shown a few days ago! So again July 2004. @riksrandomretro.com still having trouble remembering the exact story around him getting that 9800. The joys of aging....

Vanilla WoW. Think this is how @riksrandomretro.com and I spent almost all of our free time in 2006. (For the Alliance, btw)

Figured I should probably put myself out there as well to be fair. August 2004 - this was the first time we met in person after meeting online a few months earlier.

A twofer today - left is July 2004, right is December 2005. No idea the specs on these builds or whether he still has any of the parts; you'd have to ask @riksrandomretro.com himself.

More random retro Rik! March 2006: we somehow scraped together enough cash to buy a 360 and a copy of Oblivion. And believe it or not @riksrandomretro.com is 24 in this picture, even though he looks about 16 haha

So @riksrandomretro.com is in Sweden for a couple weeks and I'm feeling kinda down, so I thought in the meantime maybe I'd share some random retro Rik! This would have been summer of 2005 - check out that shiny new PSP
