I grew up in the era of Games Workshop and the obsession of Space Marines. Never got into it as a child (as am female, and there was a high level of gatekeeping/bullshit in the hobby/community). Now that amiibo are out, and we can now customize figures, I figured that this is a great time to...

End Goal: Keep the SNES Classic Mini "stock" - eg. only running Canoe and Canoe compatible games. Use the Raspberry Pi to run NES, Atari, GB, GBC, GBA, and Atari games. Bonus: Game Gear games! I have only a passing knowledge of Linux and trying to ask me to do anything in the terminal is...
So I was eagerly awaiting NTRboot/magnethax to be released to the public as I already had an non working Acekard 2i (spring broke and cannot hold onto the micro sd card) and a Monster Hunter Generations New 3DS XL on 11.5. At that point, I could do a DSiware transfer to hack the system, BUT I...

I honestly didn't know what to make for dinner tonight, until I ended up sinking most of my weekend into beating shrines, clearing dungeons and cooking some food in Breath of the Wild. Ingredients: - large chunk of beef (eye of round) - button mushrooms (may try this with the more expensive...
Let me front load this - I'm not good at action games, but I enjoy a challenge a la Monster Hunter. But I suck at it, and I require a ton of time to get back into the action. Where I Am in the Game: I have a couple of sets of armour (Gerudo, climbing, sheikah, and a couple of others). I did...

Let me preface this with - I do not understand 3D spaces. Hence why I died in the first five minutes after failing to climb down from the Great Plateau's tower. Ow...poor Link! 3 hours in, and I'm loving this game. It's like someone poured a survival game and the skeleton of a LoZ game into...

And today, I was just lazily searching through my email inbox, when a doozy of a letter landed in my mailbox. It follows: Good Afternoon astrangeone, I'm writing to let you know that I've reported your ad to both RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) and BSA...

So today I got another New 3DS XL to play with/resell. It's pretty much brand new in box, and came with two games. I check the firmware, and it's 11.1. I go through the new steps and remember to put server_config.xml onto the card. The cfw'ed system I had is a Galaxy style one, and uses a 64...
So I spent the last three days binge-watching Stranger Things. Yes, all 400+ minutes of it. It's a great show - like classic X-Files, blended with Are You Afraid of the Dark and topped with the team spirit of Buffy. So...basically everything a horror/sci-fi fan would love. My first...

So, I attend a local fan convention every year, but I prefer to be cosplaying each year. Last year was "retro" - Casey Jones and classic Dr. Who (the robomen of the black and white era). This year, after seeing the posters for The Purge Election Year, I decided to make a few early cosplays...

So, you know last weekend I got scammed out of $90 for some really shitty fake 128 mSD cards. Wouldn't have happened if I wasn't sick with a nasty cold and half dead. Read Here: http://gbatemp.net/entry/the-saga-of-the-fake-adata-128-gb-cards.11547/ I got in contact with the lady via Facebook...

So, I'm a member of a facebook group that buys and sells stuff, mostly it's used stuff like designer handbags and other things. I was browsing and saw a post for "Brand New adata 128 gigabyte micro SD cards" for $35 a piece. So red flags are raised and I was thinking "How the hell can someone...

So my extra o3DS never went online and never had an NNID attached to it. It was originally on 9.9 firmware, and I ended up using OoTHax to downgrade while I had the chance. I finally completed the installation of A9LH on it, and used Luma3DS. Today, a friend of mine wanted his 11.0.33 U o3DS...
0) So, apparently Jason Hooft from 3KB lives in my hometown....I've been scouring my city for cheap n3DS XLes to exploit and flip on the market. (I know, I'm a terrible scalper - so what? Some people are terrified of installing A9LH and some people don't have the time.) I recently picked up...
So, I've been watching the first two episodes of the new SU season. Go watch them if you haven't! Super Watermelon Island: http://kisscartoon.me/Cartoon/Steven-Universe-Season-3/Episode-1?id=70298 Gem Drill: http://kisscartoon.me/Cartoon/Steven-Universe-Season-3/Episode-2?id=70299 My...

So, late last year, I decided that I wanted to go scare people for money. There's this semi permanent one that opens every October in my hometown, and they are always looking for actors to run it. So I toss my application at the form on the webpage, and they got back to me just before it...

0) Majora's Mask: It sucks. Plain and simple, the three day countdown and too many sidequests made me want to hurl my 3DS across the room. Ocarina of Time still holds up as a game because it feels like you accomplish things - the 3DS version of Majora's Mask does not. (Too bad, because I...

Gaming Related: - people who look down on "casual" gamers. Most "casual" gamers don't have the time or the energy to play great games more involved games - I find myself being in this category more often than not. - region locking. For the longest time I didn't want a 3DS because of region...
So, I love tinkering with flashing firmware. More functionality? More control over my system? Yes, please. So, when I bought my used 3DS (Cosmos Black, represent), there was no availability of custom firmware for the 3DS. Heck, most flashcarts stopped working! I was happy with Pokemon and...
