Often called Nana-chan, she’s depicted as a cheerful little girl with brown hair styled in buns with braids.

Does anyone who uses AppleWin emulator know how you flip disks when it asks you to turn to side B on something? I've looked all over the UI, in the help file, and key commands and can't find anything to let me do so.

Happy # Holidays from the # museum !

c/retrogaming@fedia.io by
You are standing at a curved table looking directly at some white shelving behind the tables. An Atari 800 and second VIC-20 are connected to TVs on the table, and a boxed Atari 400 and VIC-20 are on the shelves. Also visible to the left and right are a Commodore PET, Apple II, TRS-80, TI-99, IBM PC, Commodore 64, Macintosh, and you can barely see an Atari ST and Amiga 1000 around the bend to the right. There are red and green uplights accenting the furniture and red and blue carpet mats in front of the tables. There are no ceiling tiles but a little fairy told me they're coming soon.

Happy #Holidays from the #museum! Our timeline is almost fully populated and we're building out exhibits as fast as we can. Check out the cool lighting from one of our volunteers!

I went thrifting today and scored these. #Tekken 5 and #RidgeRacer were 5 bucks a pop and the #Matchbox Battle Kings vehicles were 4. They are a little damaged though. I wonder if I can fix them.🤔#RetroGaming #PlayStation #PS2 #PSP.
