Spent some of my Christmas money on another pointless addition to my collection of random shit. Pac-Man In a Tin. The d-pad is made of rubber and is bloody awful to actually use lol.

Something about MegaMan looks off but I can't put my finger on it

Finally got some free time to upgrade my system, new board and cpu, going from from 5820k to 5800X3D
my X99 board was dying/having problems, a chip was shorting out on it and other issues so I needed an upgrade, also it was 8 years old now and price was decent for a new board and cpu, this is really the only "gold" themed board on the market
also swapped the psu to an rm850 that I had as a review sample

Yesterday for boxing day I went to my local retro game store, waited for an hour to get in and I got a NES with Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt, a SNES with a SNES Mouse and Mario Paint, an Xbox 360 controller and an av to HDMI adapter.

the "designer" was high as a kite, the D-Pad should be where the other buttons are, sometimes I think what the designers heate the engineers.

The GCN SD Memory Card finally arrived. You'd think it's an official Nintendo memory card because of how good it looks.

 

[Navonod]

Preordered a Gamecube BlueRetro internal adapter.
Can't wait until it gets here.

They sell micro sd versions. I actually paid less for this than the sd version and it feels like better plastics.
I pad $4 for the micro sd and almost $6 for the cheaper feeling sd version. Only reason I got it was cause I didn't like how far the sd card stuck out.

They could've made the SD card slot much more further away.

I don't know, they could have, but the one I got came in the same packaging and the sd card sticks out more than halfway.

I bought this cheap little dock looks nice on my desk at least

I more focused on that hard drive dock, I could really go with one of those.

If you post the writing I can tell you if it was Japanese or Chinese

Sadly, I already got that red 3TB SSD returned, mainly because it wouldn't work properly when it came to trying to get it to be fully usable for my PS4. It worked on my PC, but I already have long since gotten a Toshiba 1TB External Hard Drive for it. I wanted something for my PS4 to use as external storage. so that I wouldn't have to rely exclusively on internal drive memory. Strangely enough, that SSD (which also came with a black zip bag to store it and a connecting cable) didn't have any particular brand name on either the packaging, nor the SSD itself...

Finished buying/ordering all the parts for my pc build.
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7950x
Motherboard: asus tuf gaming x670e-plus wifi 6e
Nvme ssd: WD SN770 2tb
GPU: ASRock Radeon RX 6700 XT Challenger D 12gb(wanted to get a 6750 xt but was more than double the price)
RAM: DDR5CORSAIR Vengeance 64GB 5200mhz (2 x 32GB)(64 was only $60 more than 32gb)
PSU: CORSAIR RM850
Aio cooler: MSI MAG CoreLiquid C360
Case: Fractal Design Pop XL Air RGB Black
Mousepad: Red dragon XXL (was half off)
Mouse: Logitech g502 hero(was $40 off)
Keyboard : Corsair k65 mini(was $80 off i belive)
DVD burner: H L(Hitachi-LG) Data Storage Model GH15L from 2008( free, picked from pc sister gave).

I know I was going to wait for the gpu and cooler but they were decent price so yeah...
And I'm sure I could have got a better cooler but I need one and I was having a hard time finding a nice 360mm aio.


All together everything cost with tax(if I got it right) $3,336.96 cad or about $2454 USD.

I might upgrade the aio fans later this year and I'm thinking of getting 6 or 8 TB wd black hdd just as a bulk storage drive.

That case doesnt support external 5.25 drives, you would need something like this

Some extra love for WiiU?

I've seen that it is possible to unbrick a Wii U with one of those.

 

[Gon Freecss]

A Strange Loose Cannon, a Vintage Huntsman and a few trading cards (Team Fortress 2 and Steam Awards 2022).

Bought mine with that in mind - and mostly to check my WiiU chip manufacturer, which wasn't Hynix. And well, microcontrollers are cool for other dev stuff too...
