  I’d love to be able to play Kingdom Hearts II, Super Mario Sunshine, Super Mario Galaxy…Maybe in the near future. We’re already seeing a big bump in console power right now.

  Real hardware, not emumation.

  Name checks out.

  Same, honestly. No PC atm, just my little RP2+, though my right stick is wiggly and R1 doesn’t work anymore. ;u; Considering getting the RP2S just because it fixes all the issues I have with the 2+, and it’s still super cheap. RP3+ doesn’t have magnetic hall sticks, and that’s huge for me.

  Steam Deck would be sick, but it’s pricey as all hell. Maybe the price will go down if they release a 2 Steam 2 Deck.

  Kaze, I take it? Haven’t seen the video yet, your comment is my only context, but I guarantee it’s Kaze. Dude is a goddamn genius. He optimized SM64 to run at 60 FPS on actual hardware, and made it look better.

  Oh, and definitely make sure the battery contacts aren’t corroded/had leaky batteries, though if you’re gonna swap it for a rechargeable one, it may not matter?

  PS2 had pressure sensitive buttons? No shit, I had no idea.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GBC Aquired, Time to Mod⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Hell yeah! The cheapest thing you could do while waiting ckr parts, I think, is clean it up, like removing and de-gunking that sticker.

  Honestly, I appreciate the Virtual Boy. It was ahead of it’s time, both positively and negatively. The 3D was a sort of prototype for the 3DS’ technology, and it worked well, especially for the mid-90s. Having a 32-bit console you can (kind of) carry with you was a dream back then.

  The only issue was having to make so many concessions due to the cost of the 3D technology. 2bpp display? Bright red? Giant-ass brick you have to tape to your head? Bleh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Made a DIY hard case for my Virtual Boy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Pros: Your Virtual Boy can be safely carried without risking damaging it or losing parts.

  Cons: You own a Virtual Boy.

  I’m kidding, this is neat. c: Always love seeing people taking care of their older systems.

  I love how it still looks chunky and low-poly. They could have made it super high res and fancy, but nah, they’re preserving the retro aesthetic.

  Well, Chekov’s gun hasn’t been fired yet…

  If anyone is looking at this and wishing there was something even smaller, have a look at the Thumby, the true handheld for ants.

  What in the goddamn…?

  I looked up NewPipe on the Google Play Store. First, there’s, like, four different options that are suspiciously similar. I click the one with 4.4 stars (others had, like, 2), and it says it collects and shares location data with third parties, and this data can’t be deleted?

  Yeah, I’m gonna have to say no to that.
