It’s St Patrick’s Day weekend in #Chicago …or as everyone who can hold their alcohol in Chicago thinks of it…”amateur hour weekend” We dye the river green and then the suburbs dwellers and 21 year olds dye the streets vomit brown 🤣

I put an arcade board in front of the camera today that felt like such a hack job made to run in a manner that was never intended…it felt like I had engineered it in my own special ways 🤣 except a team of engineers did it #arcade #gaming #RETROGAMING

The line in the sand for #Sega and #arcade racing games was firmly drawn with Virtua Racing! Sega went 3D and never looked back...and what a catalog of amazing racing games they made! youtu.be/HmwGZgkppO8 #retrogaming #retrogamer #gaming #videogames #gamingcommunity

Well the #PSVR2 controllers are a bit of a mess. Only work in game if you turn them on in a specific order and only after launching the game with a standard controller. Software update hopefully tomorrow! Pretty looking though!
