Summary
Michael and Jake open with retro arcade serendipity (a Mortal Kombat cabinet sighting!) and tumble into family bowling, kid-approved card games, and why tactile gadgets are back in style. Then they pivot hard into dev-mode: shadcn/ui (and shadcn-vue), Inertia, React-ish forms, and the age-old tradeoff between “batteries-included” simplicity and modern real-time UX. Highlights: Mortal Kombat cabinet & mini arcades, gift ideas for Laracon AU Duckpin bowling explainer and family bowling stories (plus UNO, Yahtzee, Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza) The “analog is cool again” thread: mechanical keyboards, a Keychron board, and a retro 3D-printed mouse shell for a Logitech M185 Dev deep-dive: shadcn docs, Inertia forms, partial reloads vs full refresh, Livewire/Alpine, and real-time updates with Pusher/Reverb Show links RetroPie / Arcade1Up Laracon AU Duckpin bowling Keychron keyboard 3D-printed retro mouse shell for Logitech M185 Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza Inertia.js shadcn/ui shadcn-vue Livewire Alpine.js Pusher Laravel Reverb Axios fetch
