Sadly it's broken but it still looks neat sitting on my shelf.

Received the cheap PS4 I bought about a week ago, it looks nice in white and all, just a shame it has the firmware 11.50.

I've bought plenty of games on the PSN Store so it's no biggie, but would have been nice to have it hacked. 😅

At this point: If the seller doesn't mention the firmware, assume it's the latest.

Wera didn't have any game bits or the correct Y bits for Nintendo consoles, so I got the Mako set from IFixIt instead. As well as the magnet mat because it's a miracle I'm not losing more screws than I already do.

How do they work??? Quite well actually, the bits are a huge step up from the ebay crap I had previously, and the mat's magnetism is nice and strong to hold screws securely in place. Used it today to open up 4 of my game boys to deep clean all power switches. Works great, would recommend, fuck whoever designed the GBC power switch.

I lost the other mop. It helps me do the ceilings

Protip: whenever you buy a mop with replaceable sponge inserts like that, just go ahead and buy about 6 of those sponge refills right away. Because if you don't, by the time you wear out the first one and go to buy a new sponge, the mop will be changed to a different design, i.e. "New and Improved!" and the sponges they'll be selling will be for the new mop, not your old one.

With @AncientBoi , you really never know what he will use the mop for, he may never even use the sponge part. B-)
I picked up a used N64 today from a garage sell ($25), w controller and SMario64 cart, works good. Me n wifey have been on a garage sell purge, going to bunch of them on weekends, you can sometimes find some cool stuff cheap. I use an app called "NextDoor" and it shows garage sales within 50 miles from me, is cool.

Bought a DS Rumble Pak without a sticker, and seems like it's the eWin version based on the photos. The vibration of both is described as "not very intense."

White - eWin
Black - Unbranded

The eWin was also available in black. Review here with it in black: https://gbatemp.net/threads/ewin-rumble-pak-review.46636/

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    ack my throat
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I need to invest in some storage totes tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tots?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tootles? Wtf
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Oh tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Oh totes , lol, like Tupperware storage, I gotcha
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox. TMNT and Simpson's arcade is still so fun on it, esp w 2 players.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Gonna check out the new Garfield looks like garbage
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Can't wait to see the new "stick" that can actually play Ps3 or 360 games. I know they are getting close.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @Xdqwerty didn't you see the new garfield?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Ah it's all animated I was hoping for some live action
