I used to be acquaintances with Schuyler. Sold them my drumset even when they needed a spare kit. Hope they're doing well.

Ended up moving my 5v line off of q502 onto cn201. Q502 is hard to solder to and I just couldn't get it to stick. Also, previous owner imtionally bridged the internal speaker with the headphone out using a capicitor leg?! Fixed that shit.

PC Engine GT LCDDRV install nearly done. We are operational! Also installed a new power jack, new audio jack and new NES membranes. Now, time to tackle the shell mod and get all this into that.

I would go with a simple sand/scuff and paint. Type of paint shouldn't really matter since it won't get handled often.

Yes, it's called a Game Boy Micro. All I wanted to do was clean it, resolve the intermittent reboot issue.... my dumbass. I snapped the select/start cable. Took me 3 weeks to fix and I had to order magnet wire to get it done. @self: stupid

Metroid II again... I said my previous time was good enough. I lied.

And I could've gotten a 1:45 but a black wasp irl was fucking with me leading up and into the last boss, causing me to fuck up, leave the fight and retry.

I don't know what to play next

Dr. Whiffington @drwhiffington.bsky.social · 8d

I want them to make this in pretty colors. That will sell me.

At least for me, there's truth in this ism. Yes, the prices are too high but the character selection is just boring. Every year we do the same thing - Optimus, Bumblebee, Starscream, Soundwave.... Transformers has become an annual G1 rehash. There's nothing new, fresh or interesting to latch onto.

Bring back physical keyboards on phones goddammit. Make the damn thing whatever size you want but it must have a tactile keyboard. Touchscreens are absolute ass for typing.
