It’s called “Another Night at the Warp Core Cafe” by Jeff Carlisle
Wow. I could spend days poring over it, trying to figure out all the characters and items in it. I love that Ro-Man, a Ro-Man from the planet Ro-Man (from the movie Robot Monster, generally considered one of the worst movies ever made), is right down in front (the guy in a gorilla suit and diving helmet.)

I’ve got a full list of references. Loads of stuff.

That is awesome.

Do I see a face palming Picard? :lol:
It's cracking me up that behind the bar are Quark, Guinan, and... Bea Arthur from the Star Wars Holiday Special.

It will be a slow grind to complete the rig, but the work in progress will be fun to deploy.

Picked up an Oculus Rift+ this spring so I'll be sticking with that for a while. Honestly, haven't got my VR legs yet, some games I only handle in small doses. Hoping VR racing is better.

Yes, PS5+GT7 is on the short list for sure!

Nice slipping that in. I see what you did there. :lol:

Got these a while back, but haven't posted it until now for some reason. It's one of those memory stick adapters for the PSP that allows you to plug a micro sd card in and use it on the PSP itself instead of using the overpriced proprietary crap Sony put out for it. Known about these for a long time now, but I didn't get one until now because my old PSP hasn't worked right in years and it was only recently I got a new one.

As for the micro sd, I got the fastest 64gb micro sd my Wal Mart had available. Normally I am a capacity freak and will get the highest I can find, but I didn't for this one because I read that the PSP has issues indexing stuff if it goes beyond 60 some gb. Although I doubt I will ever fill mine up that much, I'd rather not have to deal with that. Plus, I don't think getting one with more memory is worth the money anyways.
IMG_E1263.JPG

And it works! I think it said it had 59 gb when I formatted it, but it says 52 gb here because I moved all my stuff from my old memory stick to this one. Seems to work just fine without any issues and does just what you'd expect. I have all my PSP games stored on here and I might put some PS1 games on it later on.
IMG_E1264.JPG

I wish I had known about this back in 2012 because storage was quite a problem for me back then and I paid $60 for a 16 gb memory stick, when I could've just got these for a little over $20 all together. :crazy:
