The back clip on the Digivice D3 color is too unreliable for my sling bag. I finally drilled a hole in the back and attached a simple carabiner loop.

Even after extensive tweaking, Clair Obscure: Expedition 33 looks (and run) like shit on the ROG Ally X. A game this beautiful deserves more, and I feel the current gen handheld PC simply doesn't do its art style justice.

TIL about Genyo Takeda, the man behind the MMC chip and battery save. IMO, that innovation is so underrated and deserves more publication.

While there seems to be a growing trend of hating on Ghost of Yotei's story, I found it to be a highlight.

I loved that the characters had clear motives and weren't just good or evil. Atsu's journey from pure revenge to someone more human, shaped by her interactions, was incredibly well done.

Funny how the D3 Color looks all modern yet feels boring, while the ver. 2000 D3 was super grindy but somehow way more fun.

This might be the most absurd electronic toy I’ve ever owned. Found it during my trip to Korea, and I still have no idea what it is or how to play it. Feels like some kind of Beyblade V-Pet hybrid.

Been hunting this controller from Nintendo Store Japan for ages but it’s always sold out. Finally caved and bought it from Korea—but that label bugs me. All my NSO controllers are from Japan, now this one breaks the uniformity.

My coffee intake multiplied while watching Hospital Playlist. I swear those doctors drink so much coffee—every time they take a sip, I get the urge to make one too.

Pendulum ZII proof of concept; Adding backlight module and rechargeable USB C power.

Need to compromize the buzzer and background card to achieve this, not really ideal for daily use.

After 258 days of tagging along across cities, provinces, countries, and even continents, the journey with this Digivice finally comes to an end.

Next goals: pay off the long-standing debt of finishing Ver. Complete and finally take the D3 2000 out of the box — before the D3 Color arrives.

Today’s loot is a pristine, unused Digivice D-3. I found it at Nakano Broadway for a very reasonable price.

Despite the subpar graphics compared to the PSX version, I love the chaotic battles of Crush Gear on the Wonderswan.

This project is long overdue. I’ve been meaning to mod my Game & Watch to run custom firmware with an upgraded chip, but I’ve been too lazy to set up a Linux VM to complete it.

Guess what I got from Japan? A minty CIB GameBoy Pocket! It was a steal at an unbeatable price.

Merry Christmas & Happy Holiday! May your backlog be filled with tons of retro achievements 🎮

I recently got my hands on a custom-built Anbernic RG28XX inside a Game Boy DMG housing ~absolutely thrilled with the final result!

Now reading The Legend Of Dragon Quest: Creation-Universe-Decryption.

It gives the facts, sure, but there’s no real excitement or joy in telling the story 🤷🏻‍♂️

I picked Trimui Brick out of curiosity with low expectations, but it turned out to be fantastic! I’d even say it has the potential to become the best all-rounder, overtaking Miyoo Mini Plus. Now it’s up to the community to fine-tune the software experience.

I tried Suikoden Tsumugareshi Hyakunen no Toki; It’s a decent JRPG, but lacks the magic of Suikoden series.

Shaders in RetroArch do a fantastic job mimicking the curvature, bloom, and dynamic scanlines of CRT.

But even the best shader can’t replicate the subtle imperfections.

While AAA games repeating tried-and-true formulas, niche devices like Playdate prove that creativity thrives within limitations. Sometimes less is way, way more!

Retroid Pocket Mini Saturn colorway is fantastic, but I still wish they would announce a Gamecube colorway.

Commemorating my debut post with a rant; Why on earth did Fore Coffee stop selling their Café Malt Latte?
