hardware showoff

Somehow missed the lithium rechargeables discussion but immediately ordered those gigastone ones. My Neo Geo Pocket Color gets a lot of use but NiMH batteries aren't a good match for the voltage-sensitive IPS mod. It tends to fail to initialize on about half-charge batteries which feels like such a waste of perfectly good batteries. Glad to see an alternative.

@“copySave”#p78216 I like that Game Stop AV switcher in a perverse way.

@“connrrr”#p78245 I bought that when I was working for EB Games while GameStop was acquiring them, so it's almost 20 years old.

Anyone want to come over and play some video games?

I've been collecting since 1993 when I got my SNES, so almost 30 years. Could have taken probably 20 more pictures of games and other stuff.

About time I did this. Took a while to setup but it was fun :)

@“copySave”#p78412 That NES setup is perfect

@“copySave”#p78412 It‘s really gratifying once you’ve got it all set up! should definitely be inviting people over for hangouts with all of this at the ready. I‘m jealous of the clean compartmentalization of it!! once I get my stuff set up again over here it’s going to be a total mess.

@“exodus”#p78416 We bought this house in 2017 and I went through a pretty intense planning stage before we moved in. The den and office has been setup in a way to could keep the “gameriness” to a minimum for guests or watching a movie. The Serial Experiments Lain-esque nightmare is hidden in my office on the other side. I swap HDMI cables like a switch board operator, but it ensures 0 headaches with HDMI and a clean den.

The retro games area has grown as I keep adopting CRTs, but everything is accessible with the push of a couple buttons. What you see in the pics is a bit staged, but pretty much how it usually is. The 32 incher gets the most action

@“copySave”#p78412 shooooooooooooot

@“copySave”#p78412 damn bitch forget coming over can I live with you

@“copySave”#p78424 My big issue is where do the games go. I‘m about to build custom shelves to line all the walls in the entirety of my office… I think that’ll do it… for some of them…………………………………. but where do my records and tapes and CDs go and etc etc. This is something I wouldn't mind being rich for so I could just hire a friend to work it all out.

I guess one game from my collection I can show off is my launch day copy of God Hand with receipt. I kept the receipts for everything I bought cause I'm from the mid-west. This was the store I worked at (it no longer exists).

@“exodus”#p78439 I lined my walls will shelves, sometimes two levels worth. Also, any physical games I re-buy a digital copy of I put into a storage bin the closet for a hard backup copy. Our house is over 2500 square feet, but I live in Ohio where ample room is… ample. I did grow up in a small house that was around 750 square feet with my 2 older sisters and parents, so maybe I'm just good about being a pack-rat and thinking vertically.

My GBA colour combo lined up real good with this level in MGS Ghost Babel[upl-image-preview url=https://i.imgur.com/AeVxZCI.jpeg]


@“Syzygy”#p79134 well: I'm impressed. I kind of want to learn more about Philips as a company. How many Dutch multinational electronics corporations are there, let alone ones that released a game console!

Just picked this up. Nearly everything is original.

Been in the market for a DSi XL for a while, finally found one at the price/color/condition I was happy with….man those screens are as beautiful as everyone says. Going to get CFW on there and then it’s Rocket Slime time!

@“sabertoothalex”#p80331 nice! Looks like its in good condition, too–those metallic finishes can get all scraped/rubbed to heck. Enjoy those gargantuan pixels!

@“Syzygy”#p80348 I always used the pen from my Intuos, and nowadays my apple pencil lol
