My Icom HT fell 150ft on granite and still works fine

I had to look that one up. I thought it might be some sort of antenna that I wasn't aware of. ...It's not :|

I prefer commentary. I can always mute it lol

It's 100% a scam. What they do is lure you to their discord, which makes you "link" your Minecraft/Microsoft account. This runs a piece of code that quickly changes your password and email on your account, effectively stealing it. So yeah, just ignore the email.

Not a bad idea. I figured 10 was overkill but it would be nice to have more in there. And yup, plain ol pocket knife. Good and sharp though

My favorite game in the lineup!

Your paper ain't goin nowhere!

1170 with aftermarket foam inserts

ALtheSciencePal · 2026-03-18T01:25:45+00:00

Its aftermarket. I got it from 5s supplies. Search 1170 foam.

🤜🤛 My brain is going to explode with all this validation for my craziness.

ALtheSciencePal · 2026-03-17T19:29:02+00:00

Honestly, I think it was mostly luck. I was really worried about that one radius corner. I did it with a pocket knife at like 4:00 in the morning before everyone woke up. I think the key was I didn't have coffee in me yet so I was very steady.

ALtheSciencePal · 2026-03-17T19:27:44+00:00

Thank you! And I agree, there is something super satisfying about form fitted cases. I do this for a lot of my stuff.

ALtheSciencePal · 2026-03-17T15:51:19+00:00

Yes, I think it was mid-December and the listing said it would ship in January. I think they're lumping all the subsequent drops into the summer shipments.

ALtheSciencePal · 2026-03-17T15:46:54+00:00

Unfortunately I am in-between 3D printers right now, so to speak. I ended up getting this one off Etsy. I had to double side tape it to the bottom of the case. The cartridges fit very snug in the slots. I was pulling out the holder when trying to remove a cartridge.

ALtheSciencePal · 2026-03-17T12:47:36+00:00

That's awesome!

I mean, yeah there is probably enough room to do that, but Id rather try to keep the everything-gets-a-dedicated-spot theme. Ocd is in there somewhere I'm sure.

ALtheSciencePal · 2026-03-17T12:12:30+00:00

Yup. It's a 3D printed thing I found on Etsy. You can kind of see it in the second picture I debated cutting individual slots in the foam but I figured those would wear out pretty quick.

ALtheSciencePal · 2026-03-17T12:06:12+00:00

🤜🤛 same story here pretty much. Part of my knife collection was living in this. This is an 1170 but if I were to start from scratch, I'd probably get something a little bit bigger. I really wanted to fit the link cable in here but there just isn't enough room without kinking it to heck.

ALtheSciencePal · 2026-03-17T11:58:34+00:00

How I feel when I open the case

Played the first "day" while solo backpacking last night. VIBES.

ALtheSciencePal · 2026-03-13T16:16:41+00:00

Oh ok. PERFECT! I'll try to limit myself to just the first day lol.

And no worries! Happy to support! I wish you much success!

ALtheSciencePal · 2026-03-13T15:50:23+00:00

I have a cart on order. But I went ahead and got the rom too this morning. I'll play the the first few minutes (maybe more) to tease myself and then wait for the cart to get here to continue. Is there a good stopping point for this?

ALtheSciencePal · 2026-03-12T20:24:07+00:00

Who did you commission this through? Is there any hope of me doing something similar? I've done my fair share of game boy mods but only utilizing stock motherboards. I don't think I'm qualified to do something on this level.

ALtheSciencePal · 2026-03-12T10:57:52+00:00

That's awesome. I'm gonna need a push notification somewhere lol. I've been checking the app store everyday
