They have them on that site for different phones/ controllers also...do you have a 3D printer tho?

Git new heat gun for working on a little electrical repair on my kitchen my old one become a cold air gun

If you wonder, this is the little repair I had to make:

The original breaker box was on the hole at lower right of the photo, near a stove, so I had to move to other side of the kitchen to avoid new damage to the box and breakers from the heat and grease produced by cooking

Pre-ordered the Galaxy s23 ultra 512GB in phantom black, fancy way to say it's a black phone.

Also got a pair of galaxy buds 2 for $50. It was a deal with the phone.

I got a whole slew of crap since last time I posted in December.

Got the 8bitdo Ultimate Controller 2.4ghz version for both the hall effect sticks and the lower latency wireless connection, as well as a Dualschock 3 Sixaxis BT for use with my PSP Go when it's connected to my TV. Which then required another purchase to actually connect to my PSP Go...

which led to this 6 year old laptop joining the team as I needed something that is old enough to run windows 10, can be sacrificed to run dodgy software like MotionInJoy to play nice with various old programs for my retro consoles, but is still newer than my Eee PC that can't run x64 programs.

It's a Dell Latitude E7270, i5-6300U, 8gb RAM, 256gb SSD, 14" small. As an ultrabook business laptop the thing has incredibly build quality and a very nice keyboard and was way overpriced back when it launched. But these days they are really cheap and decent backup machines.

I also bought a cheap PS1 in order to have a way to play PS1 games without emulating them. It's a 5502 so compatible with the Xstation, which I will hopefully have enough time to install tomorrow.

Which brings me to today's delivery, a game cube, a wireless controller for the same, two music albums for consoles (SNES and PC Engine CD / TurboGrafX CD) made by Remute, and the Xstation for the PS1.

The wireless controller is pretty okay, the only complaint I have is that it doesn't have the clicky action the triggers like the OG GC controller has. Otherwise the build quality is really good, all buttons and sticks feel great, and the latency is very low.
I've also randomly decided I wanted to know if Houndoom plushies exist, and found out the Pokemon Fit / Sitting Cuties series is a thing so I had to get a bunch.

If Salamence weren't so ugly in this series I'd basically have my entire Ruby team as plushies now. Still need to get a few more, though only once my finances recover from all this.

The plushies are so cute, especially gardevoir, shedinja, and scizor! How much did they cost? I recently got some bootleg chansey one for like $7 CAD but I'm 80% sure the official plushies are much more expensive.

About $18 before import is the base price, if you have a Pokecenter in Canada they might have them, otherwise I got a bunch of them off of eBay and the others I imported myself from Japan.

2023 has been a tad uneventful so far, but everyone in my household including myself finally switched phones pretty much at the same time [last October/November].
Surprisingly enough my nana got a folding one?!!?! cause it was her and my grandfather’s 45th wedding anniversary.

edit: attached the same photo twice um >_<

Got a Gamecube Player, and managed to solder in my Xstation yesterday with just some minor issues along the way.

Accidentally got a bridged connection between two pads under the quick solder board directly below the connector, and when trying to fix that fucked up and lifted one of the two pads. After unsoldering it again, fixing the bridge, then soldering it back down I just skipped the destroyed pad by wiring it up directly to the via the pad connected to. Also the missing pad technically made it easier to not make it bridge again so small favors I suppose.

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

A High Roller's Rocket Launcher (which has now kickstarted my preservation initiative of all Gentlemann's Collection skins). But recently, I got some taunts.

Have fun finding a loose GameCube GameBoyPlayer disc. I still can't find one for less than about $200.

Thankfully I won't need one, I got an SD Media Launcher in the mail and then I can just use GB Interface, or load the OG disc from the SD2SP2.

I will definitely look in to that.
