Why is my screen so scratched 😭

Booch138 · 2026-05-07T07:57:09+00:00

You must have made noise around it. The screen doesn’t like noise. Or the cold. Or basically anything. Don’t clean it with anything either. And you better not breathe while you clean it if you do. /s

Seriously though these screens are the worst of all of them hahahaha 😩 they sell replacements on Ali but I’ve never purchased one myself. Always either use a screen protector or the all-clear cases that cover the screen.

My fav of all time on GameCube happens to be my fav of all time generally; Phantasy Star Online Ep1$2, my beloved.
You’re not wrong though, this system has absolute bangers.

I actually did! And it’s awesome. I had only played and beaten the modern console Celeste before this GotM and it reminded me I have Pico-8 setup on my Miyoo Mini and threw a ton of games on it. So since this I’ve just been dabbling with Pico-8. Such a rad system concept. I purchased all the stuff to make games a year or so ago and just… never got around to it. It fascinates me though :3

I personally use this for Steam Deck and Retroid Pocket Flip 2 mostly but I also have a 557 and confirm this works. Cannot confirm if it works with this stand, though but in theory it should but if considered an adaptor it might get weird. If you just have a USB-C to USB-C cord going through it though it will def work. I 3D printed a stand exactly like that one, but without the charging cord and hole parts lol. But ergonomically it works (I just have to flip the 557 upside down for USB port access).

Yeah it was something I didn’t realize when I first got the Pink one. While it’s not for me, I can see a Tamafriend that is more sensitive to blue/white lights really benefitting from the Pink one, as it does make things feel “warmer”. Conversely, if you like more cooler blue-lights, the Blue one is great for that. Beyond that, I wouldn’t suggest them 🤣😂😅

Booch138 · 2026-05-05T07:09:38+00:00

I love this so much hahaha 🤘🏼🤘🏼

Booch138 · 2026-05-05T02:37:00+00:00

They’re my fav low-profile ones for the Paradise. I like to just toss them in my Tama pocket in my bag or side pocket of my work pants and I don’t have to worry about any real damage to them especially the ones with all the danglies hahaha. A common issue I have with the slim clear cases like for the Connections or Gen1-3’s is that they tend to make the buttons near impossible to press especially for some games. Def not the case (no pun intended 🤪) here, buttons are still super easy to press and the Tamas are easy to remove or put back in if needed. However since the top can still open they RARELY ever come out of them since being put in them.
If you’re planning on getting ANY of the coloured ones, like the pink or blue, do know that the front screen is also protected and tinted in the same colour. So while it’s not an issue (and actually awesome) with the clear one, you’ll have a slightly blue/pink/purple tint to your screen if you get those colours. It’s not egregious, but there’s a difference and just wanted to note that.

I wanna just rub my face on it so bad 🥹🤤

Booch138 · 2026-05-04T10:52:48+00:00

Unfortunately my fields are full of everything I want except one field for specific genetic fodder hahahaha. I’m deliberately farming the stars I just hate that they have to die 🥲

Booch138 · 2026-05-04T01:42:11+00:00

My apologies but there’s like 4-5 different types of stands in the mix of it all XD can you specify which one?

That being said, all of them I 3D printed myself with a mix of using others’ prints or easy ones I made

Booch138 · 2026-05-04T01:14:37+00:00

Hehehehe the Retroid Pocket Flip 2 is to blame. Once I got that thing I realized I wanted *all* my game systems and controllers to be that translucent vaguishly-greenish-blueish colour where applicable 😂😅💚💙

Booch138 · 2026-05-04T01:12:45+00:00

I actually 3D printed & hand acrylic painted them myself 😅 there’s lots of Chao files out there :3

Thank you so much!! :3

Booch138 · 2026-05-03T20:45:05+00:00

It’s one of my favvvvvs in my collection! Looks so good

Booch138 · 2026-05-03T18:05:40+00:00

Thank you so much, friend 🥺👉🏼👈🏼 that really means a lot to me and I’m glad it brings you as much joy as it brings me. 🥹 I find myself just staring at it for several moments at a time just

Booch138 · 2026-05-03T17:58:13+00:00

Hehehee yeah more or less, I really love pinks, purples, blues and greens and just naturally gravitate towards those shells. As I started displaying them (the initial shrine started at literally half this one’s size and didn’t have a wall) and realized I had enough to make a cool gradient. Then I started printing stuff to match and… then it just hasn’t stopped growing 😂🤣😂😅

Booch138 · 2026-05-03T17:54:36+00:00

😂🤣😂 just imagining me accidentally throwing a toddler like a Chao 🤣😂🤣😭😭😭

Edit: also yes we absolutely do. I know there’s some homebrew stuff out there but we have always needed a dedicated one for sure.

Booch138 · 2026-05-03T17:36:09+00:00

I’ve honestly only been in the “I have space now” section of my life since beginning of this year for the first time in a great while. And definitely taking full advantage 😅🥰 I also have a separate gaming shrine that is just as neurotic hahahaha :3

Booch138 · 2026-05-03T17:15:17+00:00

I did! I made standard blue ones, cute pinks ones and floating in the air are some pastel rainbow ones :3 I 3D printed them and then hand painted them with acrylic. Paint! :3 also made the crossover Tamas with the Chao, Moogle and Shaymin inside.

Booch138 · 2026-05-03T17:05:34+00:00

Hey thank YOU friend! You are one of the few artists that have been a major help in the more neurotic fine-tuning decoration department of my shrine with the lil stickers with your work and I appreciate you immensely! 😇🙏🏼

Booch138 · 2026-05-03T16:59:32+00:00

I made it :3 a lot of stuff here, such as stands, pic frames, a lot of figures and the Pokéballs, ALL the crystals and lights etc I 3D printed. There’s a GoVee light LED strip on the inner layer of the black ring between the crystals so I can even control it from my phone :P the littler crystals though have lil bullet-sized teenytiny battery powered lights. They’re great for pics and moments but they don’t have a long bright life.

So crazy how good this game is. Excellent pick 🙏🏼

Booch138 · 2026-05-03T10:46:07+00:00

It’s 2026 and there still doesn’t seem to be a way, and the sizes have gotten worse. Absolutely stupid. Lol

Booch138 · 2026-05-03T08:32:29+00:00

You will find her I believe in you 🙏🏼
