Things you recently bought or got

I bought an NES and Sega Genesis 6 button controller from Gamestop. They of course sent a 3 button controller, which I have to exchange. Also, that price tag on the Sega controller is a lie, it wasn't 10 dollars, it was like 13.

I also bought a Sega Saturn controller from Gamestop, and it arrived feeling brand new, lol.

Spoiler

I also won 3 auctions for 3 N64 controllers. lol

Spoiler

I also won an auction for a Sega Genesis model 2! It'll be fun to see what's wrong with it. lol

Spoiler

A few months ago, I won all these Playstation 1 consoles, and they all work. lmao! I didn't notice the shipping, and bidded when I was half asleep.

Got all three of the Hatsune Miku games for the 3DS imported from Japan. Never been used and has all of the character & music video cards sealed. I think Japan looks after a lot of their stuff compared to us in the West.

It says right there - it has a bad disc drive!

I can definitely see why that's a problem as it's not supposed to have a disc drive at all

I know, that's what it makes it so confusing, lol.

My plastic Switch holder has arrived!

My plastic Switch holder has arrived!

Watched a few videos on it earlier... It doesn't seem that great for actual use, but to give them some credit, it does look well made. I imagine it'll actually look pretty good being kept out on a shelf.

Annoyingly, the app isn't live until the 17th so I'll have to wait, but I have a feeling the novelty will wear off quickly. A couple of the games do look interesting though and being able to change colour from red could make it fun for a while.

Too many things. One socket 775 board that was just dead as a doorknob, wouldn't even beep error codes even if I took the RAM out.

Another socket 775 board that thankfully worked.
Thermaltake Core V21 case
Headers for the Pi Zero 2 W
Two Pirate Audio HAT's with a line out since both of my Pi Zero 2 W's are USBODE's at the moment
128GB microSD cards that are just going up in price (Fuck AI, can the bubble just burst yesterday already?)
DIY stuff to build a 3.5mm jack to CD_IN sound card cable.

Probably next month I'll try to hunt down a MT32-Pi HAT and a gameport to MIDI cable, so I can use my Pi 4B for MT32 and General MIDI.

You can try it out with the Labo VR modes of games like BOTW and Captain Toad if you want

And once NSO goes offline, then it'll be a paperweight with little to not much use-case, except for being a collectors piece. I gotta say, build quality is solid for a product of this type.

Don't ask why I love these.

Can I use the «easy» joke: "You fall often on them?"

well... You can say, I can do calisthenics while playing games.

Cheers man.

I've been developing an app to track my media viewing, so wanted to get a nice stopwatch to be able to time my activities on the go. Turns out there are very few out there that go beyond 1 hour. Saw this set of two on eBay and decided to pull the trigger.

They are stunning.

 

[The Real Jdbye]

These are so sexy.

I bought this! It just needs a bit of cleaning, and a bit of retrobrighting! Too bad about the crack, but it's not that bad. Also, for some reason it comes with a Playstation av cable, which, I guess I can always use one of those. lol

Spoiler

I also got this! Some asshole raised the price at the last minute and tried to snipe me. I think the "Nyko" threw off a lot of people, lol.

I did mostly buy it for the collection as the posture required makes it a bit of a pain to use. I have the cardboard version for actually playing on as it's more comfortable and can be used in bed etc. There are a few games on NSO that are good enough that I wish I could buy them but it's not too bad as long as the subscription stays cheap.
