Since we can pin posts on BlueSky now, I think it's time to post my Video Game Collection album!
Here's a detailed look at my ever-expanding #retrogaming collection (though I'm overdue for an update!)

#throwbackthursday to the augmented reality Mario Kart Live course I built in my home. What a silly and fun game! I love it!

Haven't seen anyone do this one, but these two franchises have a fascinating intertwined history!

Lying in bed playing Roguecraft DX on my Evercade Super Pocket and after I used a potion of confuse monsters the graphics kinda went off the rails!
I didn't get the best pic though, but the minimap was particularly gibberish!
Did not expect this! Am I the monster it confused??

Sprite artifacting around the inventory on the bottom left, the effect bar at the bottom right, the mini map at the top right, and around my player character and the mimic chest on the screen's play area.

Where's the 'Selena Completed' button? Who the fuck is Mark?

Android screenshot with a reminder notification with the options "reschedule" or "mark completed"
The task description is "learn words have more than 1 meaning"

If you're unhappy with BlueSky's behaviour re: moderation/block button et al., I just want to let you know I maintain a Mastodon account as well!
It gets the same content, but sometimes with the longer character limits I can provide more context to my posts!

I enjoyed Kaze's Mario 64 Co-op hack on my actual N64 using my Ervdrive. I had some fun with the decompiled Mario 64 for PC.
But I didn't learn until just this morning that there's a pretty cool 16-player online hack for the PC decompilation!
Super neat!

Fun fact, I bought that Virtual Boy brand new in 1995 with my allowance money when Nintendo recalled them and a local place was blowing then out for $40

That's the Sony PocketStation! Sony's answer to the Dreamcast VMU, that's Squall from FF8 you can see on the screen.

I just love all the little weirdo systems in my collection. They make me happy ♥️

That's it, that's the post.

I love the extras you get with Evercade carts and Roguecraft DX is no exception! Check this out, it comes with a reversible poster - what's the difference between the two sides?
Whether or not you like your scanlines on or off! 😆

I absolutely love that.

The newer Evercade handhelds don't work for it, you need the original and a special USB cable

Selena the Retro-Princess @superselena64.bsky.social · 11d

Roguecraft DX for Evercade showed up! Now I'm flipping through the different ways to play it!
I really like using my classic Evercade as a controller on my Evercade VS!

Here I was buying obscure stuff for my collection; MSX add-ons, Densha de Go, Vectrex accessories- but SOMEHOW I'd lost my original copy of Donkey Kong Country for my SNES!
I kinda recall I sold it, I must've forgotten to replace it
Anyway I got a copy to fill that unexpected gap in my collection 😅

I got a good deal at the toy fair!
I was looking for another PS1 but didn't want to spend much because it's an extra unit - and I got this whole lot for $40 (CAD)
The fishing controller's worth about 30 alone!
(and yes that's the PC version of GTA3 that was mixed in by mistake 😅)

I also attended a Toy Fair in town last weekend, I returned home just in time!
I often find some little treasures or some good deals here!

Whenever I'm traveling - even if it's for work-obviously I gotta check out whatever the local #retrogaming scene is. Retro Realm in Kelowna was pretty good, and the guy running it seemed nice!
