Things you recently bought or got

Little bit disappointed now, received both today and it turns out:

• Pokemon yellow has the lamest savestate ever
• The 8bitdo Arcadestick is basically brand new and they probably just never bothered to configure the P1/P2 buttons. It works absolutely fine

Good thing my Pokémon Yellow is by far the cleanest. But hey, at least you got a bargain.

Yup, tbh I just really wanted to get that dopamin hit from fixing something

And the last thing for the near future finally landed on Mai desk. That miniaturized arcade stick as a joystick is pretty fun, I can see why people rave about this thing.

You could get one of those battery holders to replace the existing battery from your cartridge, it would be alot better than desoldering.

That was the plan(made the label a bit too big though)

Amazing work!

Thx, always have trouble when it comes to removing the old label though, makes me feel guilty even if it is already in bad condition

Ordered some cheap Sama unifans on newegg. Got them just to try them out and see if they are any good. I know that corsair and lian li have their own versions but these were 1/4 the price and I could always use them in a pc build down the line.

This is something that has never bothered me as long as I am the one who does it. If I’m doing it to my personal belongings it’s because I likely will never get rid of that object. All of the Gameboy/DS/3DS/NES/64 carts I have where the label has gotten ruined have been replaced by me. I always use the official artwork and unless you are a dedicated collector you’d never know that they were replaced.

I’d rather have a cart with a good looking replacement sticker than an “original” that looks like it’s 20+ years old and hanging on through sheer willpower and hand grease.

This lovely piece of tech, that came to join the rest of the family. Missing the Game Gear, but I'm on the fence on it.

Also got the VGA cable and a DreamPSU.

I think my retro system collection is nearly complete. I've got mostly if not all systems that mean something to me (except a Gameboy with Metroid II, but there's no way I can justify the retarded prices on both items).

I still need to beat the original trails 2 and 3. Dangit, you have a whole saga here. ☺

I bought a mini keychain microscope, it's pretty decent for the size and cost. It's not meant to attach to a camera so the pic is a bit iffy but it's neat.

Could you link the one you purchased please? I’d like to pick one up.

I got it from a local bookstore. I couldn't find anything under that name or brand online, but it's sold under different names:


https://www.littleobsessed.com/worlds-smallest-microscope/

I'd say go for it if you can get it for under $10 total, but there are better tiny microscopes out there, if you're interested in that sort if thing. This was just a silly impulse purchase that I don't regret.

Alright. I don’t particularly need your exact one, but a recent horticultural hobby of mine maintains that I’ll need one similar for determining proper harvesting time and methods.
