I’m so glad I get to show this off

Show me a cool physical game

A Nintendo DS game box. The title is “LAST WINDOW: THE SECRET OF CAPE WEST” a noir setting where a man walks down an empty dark street. Dimly lit buildings line the sides.

Never watched a Satoshi Kon film. Time to remedy that today!

The movie poster for Paprika, dir. Satoshi Kon (2006). An animated woman stares at the viewer - a loud bustling parade of characters is shown in the background and interposed on her features.

Now reading: Eversion - Alastair Reynolds Mixed feelings thus far but it’s refreshing to indulge in sci-fi pulp after years of critical theory and religious studies 😵‍💫

Metroid: Zero Mission was so good. I never finished the original, so it was incredible to finally see the ending and postgame mission. The NES game unlocking at the end was also a lovely surprise.

It…is sick…?

IT LIVES

The yellow Nintendo Switch Lite is turned on, its new bright and vivid display featuring the main menu. Various tools are scattered about.

It begins.

I do feel moderately powerful after successfully stuffing a RX 9070 and 7600X3D into this thing.

Bit of a gloomy day today. Spending some time backing up Game Boy cartridges. Some of the saves are from when I was a kid, including an original Game & Watch Gallery 3 save! Real glad I got the GB Operator.

A game boy advance cartridge of Metroid Zero Mission inserted into a GB Operator device, a clear plastic shell. Connected to a living room PC. The TV in the room displays the box art and other details of the game. Cartridges and snacks are scattered about.

It’s not particularly hi-fi or anything but it’s been a fun time using this thing lately

Learned there is a community demake (port?) of Balatro for GBA. Had to try it for myself. It is surprisingly feature-filled, at least enough to be a replacement of the original for a casual player. I can’t wait until more features are added!

Made the most classic mistake and didn’t read the model number before installing this 🤡 Now I’m stuck with this until etim’s RGB board comes in. Should’ve just gone with it in the first place 🙃
