The Robots didn’t know either, if all the sacrifices kept the sun in
the sky, so they kept doing it, unwilling to risk the alternative.

Atari Buttons, Modern Controller
In the 80s my dad got sick of Atari 5200 controllers breaking so he
decided to make controllers out of the highest quality arcade components
he could find. He advertised but they didn’t really take off. Decades
later he found out Atari collectors revered his Starcon controllers and
quickly bought up all his left over stock and asked him to sign them. I
grew up with all these parts kicking around and I recently dug out the
last remaining pieces from a closet to make my own controller. As you
can see these buttons came from an era when you weren't going to have
more than a couple in an enclosure so they are ungainly and absurdly
large. But I got a generic xbox controller board and crammed them as
tightly as I could. I just made it to make it, but I’m surprised how
much I like this controller. I just played through the entirety of
Alisa, an old school tank-controls survival horror, and it was the most
ease I’ve had playing a tank control game. I made a wrist rest and am
just waiting for a sheet of plastic to arrive so I can finish the bottom
panel.

Black Metal Black Coffee
I forgot my headphones and had to listen to the in-store Starbucks music which almost made me explode. There is some mystery person that always sets the station to the Disney/Showtunes station. It was the worst thing that ever happened to me.

White Ninja Fanart
Years and years ago I changed the end to a couple White Ninja comics
and submitted them to their fanart page and they put them up!

Party Time
I found this stand thing on the side of the road and didn’t like that
you could see the cheap MDF under the top shelf so I made a cover for
it from a sheet of plastic. Then since I was doing that I added every
colour of LED I had because I wanted to party all the time.
