This is my most recent addition to my nerd cave. It’s a Starship Enterprise lamp made of etched acrylic. I peeled off the protective plastic wrap from the acrylic pane and plugged it into the base. Light is sent through the acrylic and catches on the acrylic etching. I can choose the color for it to shine, or elect to have it cycle slowly through colors. This lamp is USB-powered, so I have it plugged into the back of my computer monitor. It’s not an officially-licensed item. It only cost just over 2,000 with free shipping from Yahoo Auctions Japan, so I couldn’t resist.
Today on Skype, I chatted with a scientist friend of mine. He’s actually worked with bacteria and viruses, and even worked on developing a polio vaccine (which ended up not used by the FDA). So, he is rather familiar with viruses. Lemme post his comments on the “COVID-19 vaccine” (which I’ve taken the liberty to clean up a bit):
This is not a real vaccine. The body needs to see the actual virus to have an immune response. The spike proteins are only the mechanism that the virus has to get inside a cell to infect it.
So this so-called “vaccine” is flooding the body with the shit that damages cells, hence the heart problems, blood clots, etc. No immune response, or rather not an adequate response. You need the actual virus. The body builds antibodies based on the virus. Kinda like a negative photograph. The antibodies bind to the virus and render it inactive. Not the stupid spike proteins.
The spike proteins are damaging cells and the body is probably responding to the damaged cells. When a cell gets damaged, the body will destroy the sick or dying cell. So you get a bunch of spike proteins. The target cells get damaged and the body is cleaning up the mess. I am sure there is some sort of immune response, but not adequate to protect against the actual supposed “COVID virus.” The immune system is trying to get rid of the spike proteins along with flushing out the damaged cells. Hence myocarditis, blood clots, etc.
The liver is a filter, so its trying to filter out that spike protein. The mRNA from the spike protein is recombining with liver cell DNA. And the liver cells, when they replicate will express these spike proteins on their cell walls. So, the body is replicating spike proteins via the liver cells, but not the virus itself. If the virus was there and active, the body would become a virus-replicating machine. A virus uses spike proteins to gain cell access, take over the cell replication mechanism used to read and replicate the cell DNA by inserting its own DNA or RNA into the mix, the cell then cranks out more virus particles. Then the cell collapses and the viruses go on to other cells and repeat. This stupid spike protein is only damaging the cells that they target. There is no actual virus contained in the “vaccine.” So cells get damaged, but not turned into a virus factory and the body does not have the virus to make antibodies. So you will still get sick if exposed to “COVID”. There are no antibodies to protect them.
The spike proteins are causing damage to the cardio pulmonary system. Then the liver is trying to filter that junk out and it ends up expressing the damn proteins on its cells walls.
This explains why the clot shots are useless against actual viral immunity, and why people are suffering from myocarditis. The reason why people feel like crap after receiving the injections is not that their bodies are building immunity to a virus, but rather their immune system is reacting to their livers and other organs being wrecked by the spike proteins.
This doesn’t even get into the mRNA function that reprograms one’s DNA to give them autoimmune deficiency syndrome, nor the mysterious objects found in the vials like crystalline structures, sharp metallic objects, or creepy squiggly objects moving about. Even ignoring all that scary crap, these injections are a fraud regardless. So at the very core we have a hoax injection that does not provide any legitimate immunity to a virus, and beyond that is the Trojan Horse, the ramifications of which have yet to be fully realized, and this is where we have crimes against humanity.
I have model kits of half of these ships: Vic Viper from Gradius, R-9A Arrowhead from R-Type, Raiden, Solvalou from Xevious, Ikaruga, and the Silverhawk from Darius. There is a model kit of Twinbee, but I haven’t picked it up yet. Since Starfox is the only one in the picture that isn’t a 2D shmup, if we were to replace its Arwing fighter with the R-Gray1 from Layer Section/Raystorm, my vote would probably be for that one. But since it’s not there, I’d probably vote for the Ikaruga. Even though I don’t care for the game as much as others, the design is just so simultaneously elegant and deadly. I have models of the Ikaruga and Ginkei from that game.
I’m on summer vacation this week. I finally did it. I haxxored my Mega Drive Mini. Mixed feelings. I had to install filthy Win10 onto a spare HD in order to run the Project Lunar software. It’s weird. My PC desktop is Linux, and these mini consoles are essentially small Linux boxes. Yet the software to interface with the Mini is Windows-only. WHY? Barf.
To hook the MD Mini to the PC, a USB cable capable of data transfers is necessary. Press and hold the reset button, connect the USB cable, then turn it on and wait for the power button to stop blinking. From there, the Project Lunar software lets you add games. Then at last you press the Synch button. Easy. The MD Mini’s internal HD has quite a lot of free space inside, so I was able to load several games.
I didn’t want to just dump a butt-ton of roms since I couldn’t care less about Rug Rats or Barbie or crap like that. I selected the games that I felt should have been on it, like Strider and the first Sonic (the MD Mini has Sonic 2 while the North American Genesis Mini came with the first Sonic).
Son, I am slightly disappoint. So get this. Project Lunar puts Retro Arch onto the console, yet there are compatibility issues. Sonic, Rolling Thunder 2 & 3, Thunder Force 4, Twinkle Tale, and several games I loaded onto it work just fine. HOWEVER… Devil Hunter Yohko gets to the title screen, but once the level begins, the screen goes black. Verytex and Tatsujin/Truxton are silent. Phelios causes the unit to crash and force a reboot. Panorama Cotton has a few glitch issues. There is a compatibility database, the “Mega Drive / Genesis Mini Compatibility List” located here: https://megadrive-compatibility.netlify.app/
I didn’t know this before installing. I just figured with Retro Arch taking care of it, there would be no problem. Is the architecture of this MD Mini considerably different than a Raspberry Pi? I did not expect any games to not work as I figured there would be no such compatibility issues. That said, I can go ahead and remove the malfunctioning games and just focus on the excellent games it already comes with, plus games I must first verify compatibility before installing.
Something else that’s weird: I deliberately put the English fan translated rom of Gleylancer, yet it only detects Japanese. Even when I switch the unit’s language to English, it’s still in Japanese. That’s… weird.
Is it worth hacking the MD Mini? Yeah, I think so. Battle Mania 1&2, Arrow Flash, Road Blasters, and Gaiares work, but I am a bit bummed that Burning Force, Hellfire, and the others I mentioned above do not work.
So, this MD Mini console is a lot of fun, but in the end it still cannot compare to a Raspberry Pi running Retropie and using a Saturn controller through a Mayflash Saturn to USB converter, as it’ll run Gen/MD, CD, and 32X games.
Side note: I frickin’ HATE Windows10. Bloaty McBloaterson. The install ISO wouldn’t even fit onto a regular DVD-R! I had to use a dual-layer DVD-R. Sheesh! With Linux, you can boot to the install disc and run the actual OS off of it!
