Sorry, no advice here. Batteries are outside of my wheelhouse. I'm not sure if heat resistant tape would protect the battery, or if it would trap heat in more.

Mid 2000s were pretty bad for capacitors. Tons of hardware from that time has bad caps, even if it has sat there doing nothing for years.

Her little smile is so cute here! Love this picture!

It's ugly as sin, but I got used to the Steam Deck's controls and I really want that for a stand alone controller. Those track pads are really useful.

I'd love to go up north to get a much better view of them. They look so beautiful.
I'm still shocked that they were visible in Kansas City this time.

Hot take:

I think that other than the original 93 version, the Playmates Megazord is the most fun. I prefer it over the ZAP, SOC, and Legacy versions by a wide amount.

I've been meaning to replay it, but keep getting distracted by other games.
It was one of those games that grabbed me and wouldn't let go. It's like it was made for me.
If you can find it I highly recommend the art book. It has some amazing concept art.

This is bad-ass! Love the color choices too!
I'd wear the crap out of that as a shirt!
