Yeah, it's still reasonable despite the minor price hikes, considering mainstream consoles and PC handhelds have nearly doubled in price. I think the top end model started at $500, so it's only gone up by 80 bucks since the RAMpocalypse. That said it is $30 more than when I ordered it a couple months ago, so I'm glad I bought it when I did.

what are you talking about, that console on 1TB version COST 580 USD!!! any console with that price will double the processing power of that..

If you compare to other handhelds, there is barely anything for that price. And they don't come with 1 TB storage.

Of course, if you don't want to pay the premium for storage, then there are cheaper models.
Personally, I need as much storage as possible since I also play Steam games on it. And between the 1TB model or getting the base model + a bigger MicroSD the price is about the same. Storage is just really expensive right now.

Did an unboxing video of my new Blue Yeti Nano mic. I will be doing each gaming video that I do with and without voice commentary, that way there is something for everybody.

Bought a 2TB 2.5" drive for my PS2, drive turned out to be defective so I got that refunded. I went and bought a SAS/SATA USB enclosure to use the 4TB SAS drive I was sent by mistake when I bought a 2TB 3.5" drive and instead of having to return the SAS drive, the seller let me keep the 4TB drive.

Anyway I'll just bite the damn bullet and buy an overpriced 2TB 2.5" SSD, fuck AI and the needless price hikes it caused.

I do have one! It's a T420.

Usually people always swear by the T420 when it comes to ThinkPads, and these are the best ones out there.

Yesterday I got a cd single for cheap, I was looking for a long time for it.
I already rip it for my music server.

It's not really good for gaming but for everything else? Can't complain.

Well, not for gaming, but productivity as that's what they're really meant for. But glad it works for you.

Got this for 2.5€ (was 24.9€ lol). (this are the kind of prices i don't mind pay for Digital Only )

Its a cute beat-them-up that plays like Guardian Heroes.

Phantom Breaker.

My sister got a Switch for her, and the seller scammed her with the joy-cons, he shipped the console WITH DUMMY JOYCONS, only the case and buttons but no electronics!!!

so I got some second hand joycons from flymarket and buy from @AKNES 's amazon store a pair of new TRM joysticks, let me tell you, they are the blast!! even come with 4 different color tops and a set of tools better than some I already have.

Thanks GuliKit and @AKNES for give us this kind of excellent products at insuperable price.

After doing my own research, I found that despite not having a Switch 2, the Switch 2 NSO GameCube controller was going to be well worth it, so I got one! Here's my current pile of GameCube controllers:

On the left is an 8BitDo Mod Kit-modded controller (waste of a good controller), on the right is a PhobGCC-modded controller. In the middle is... you know what

Considering a lot of information is spread across various boards and not all of it is complete, I thought it would only be appropriate if I made a guide for GameCube controllers and mods based on what I learned!

GameCube Controllers - A Casual's Guide​

For someone who isn't a competitive player and has no friends to play with, I probably have too many of these!

You can get a Blue Retro adapter for GameCube to have a genuine wireless controller with rumble vs the Wavebird without it

Yep, that's exactly what I'm aiming for and one of the things I had to outline in the guide, of course. It's the sole reason I had any interest in getting this controller

I am making a BlueRetro adapter using the DIY schemas and a ESP32-DevKitC and works very nice, I am using the DB25 interface so I can use on multiple consoles, so far I am using it on my PS one and my Family Computer.

This is a Quick and Dirty prototype next will be a correct PCB and a 3D Printed case.

Eek! That's definitely one way to have a working BlueRetro Core. I don't think I'll be going the DIY route this time (I'd fancy a PCB or a more compact BR for sure), there's so many same coloured wires that I'd be tricked into eating the wire spaghetti for sure

If it works though, that's awesome!
