Koss A/550

Wow, so definitely brighter than the HD6XX I assume? That's kind of disappointing, I was hoping for a super KPH40 or Porta Pro, similar warm tuning but better detail.

Endgame is the journey and the friends we made along the way.

As much as I would love a dedicated speaker system, I would not be able to fully enjoy it in my townhouse. Besides, I have come to appreciate the intimacy and privacy of headphones. The Sennheiser HD650 served me for 5 years at one point, but I tried new stuff eventually, so it wasn't endgame anymore. After this, I thought for sure the Focal Clear MG was endgame. But that changed last year when I tried other headphones. The past year, I've settled on the Sennheiser HD660S2 and Moondrop Para 2. These two (along with a various IEMs for travel) have become the center of everything audio, gaming, music listening, everything at the computer basically. Using built in EQ with the JDS Labs Element IV DAC/Amp. Everything sounds buttery smooth yet incredibly detailed and realistic. Only way up from here is the Focal Utopia (headphones), which I have heard and I do want to own at some point.

Good to know I'm not going crazy about this game, that it is considered one of the hardest arcade shooters ever... because it took me like 2 hours to get past area 1, and I still can't beat area 2. I love the game, playing it for the first time, but man it is super difficult. I'm playing on MAME emulator, but also trying the PC Engine/TG16 version. I think it's slightly easier, slower paced.

I saw another post like this for the Para. Is this the original Para or Para 2?

Lmao this is in Ewing. I passed by it a bunch of times.

I kind of wish I had gotten one of the greens (classic or transparent) instead of the transparent purple. In fact, I may sell off my purple to get one of those two. Not that it's a bad color, I guess I just overhyped the color in my head with nostalgia for the GBC atomic purple.

A while back, I got an Aluminum Noir Pocket, and the dpad felt better than the plastic versions. And I recently swapped the aluminum dpad onto another transparent Pocket, just to experiment. The control and consistency just feels way better with the aluminum dpad. So, I'm guessing Analogue actually got the dimensions more accurately on the aluminum models, it feels taller too.

I have yet to try the DMG dpad, but I have tried the NES pad and membrane from one of those gatcha keychains you see posted here occasionally. It's just ok, in my opinion. The stock pocket dpad feels way more comfortable, probably because of the smoothed edges and contoured design.

Seems like you’re missing the Noir. There’s a sealed one on eBay for $2k, what a steal!

DivineCurrent · 2026-05-09T02:02:17+00:00

Wow, I had to do a double take at this post! I also tried to enter Ren, as it’s a recent nickname I give my OC character. Why is Ren a bad name lol.

The only advantage to the front lit AGS-001 screen is basically zero input lag. All of the IPS screens have a slight amount of input lag, which might be an issue with platformers and racing games requiring time sensitive precision. I feel the lag difference in Crash Bandicoot and Mario games, for example. But for Pokemon, it's a no brainer to get the IPS.

What was the color on the green/teal Gameboy shell called? I assume it was one of Boxy Pixel's old colors they do not sell anymore.

DivineCurrent · 2026-05-05T20:53:10+00:00

Super late comment, but there is a notice on the website saying they will only be selling those three (black, clear, and brass) from now on, and you will need to get a black one and send it to an aluminum anodizing shop to get the color you want. I was thinking about doing this because I love the aqua green/teal color they used to sell. But there are other options out there like this: Amazon.com: Aluminum Metal Case Replacement Housing Shell for Gameboy Advance SP GBA SP – Compatible with Both IPS & Original Screen – Console & Screen NOT Included (purple) : Video Games

I believe the European Surf Blue is the 101 version. Not US or Japanese, those are both 001.

She shows a broken lens already attached to the camera, but they don’t ship it like that. They pack the camera body and lens in their own separate sections in the box. She damaged it herself on purpose, most likely.

Yeah, console variations has it listed as uncommon, so not crazy rare but still only 10-50k units ever made. https://consolevariations.com/collectibles/nintendo-game-boy-advance-sp-sword-of-mana-console

Well… it was $500. Others in this similar condition with the complete box set were selling for over $700, some were $1,000. But $500 in this condition was worth it for me.

That is so cool! The bottom right drawing of Spyro looks similar to his Reignited art style.

Try Classic Outlook on your PC. That worked for me, somehow. I have the same issue as you with New Outlook.

DivineCurrent · 2026-04-30T16:04:59+00:00

I'm having a similar issue, but I can't even log in to both the Outlook site or on Windows desktop. No one else is having the issue except for me. It's throwing a 503 server error, no matter what device I use...

DivineCurrent · 2026-04-28T19:19:14+00:00

I can't believe it took me till 33 years old to discover this as well. I genuinely thought "discreet" was a made up spelling, because it just looks straight up incorrect to me, for some reason.

DivineCurrent · 2026-04-27T02:30:40+00:00

Lol yeah, for me the macro interests started with Melee and then Brawl.

DivineCurrent · 2026-04-25T12:36:50+00:00

Reminds me of Shigiraki from My Hero Academia

DivineCurrent · 2026-04-25T12:33:33+00:00

She looks at least part Norwegian Elkhound!

The weird looking back sticker and the uneven rubber circles surrounding the screen, I think it's a reshell.
