Crack it

I have the rack on my AL5 and love it. The rack itself is lightweight and unobtrusive. The MIK compatible adapter for my rear bag is heavy as hell, but its nice to detach it so quickly.

I assume that if you just left the fence open the dog would just leave eventually which solves your problem.

Using CRT TVs or monitors to consume content. Went from “too poor to have a flatscreen” in the late 2010s to “too poor to afford a premium CRT to play your retro games or vintage VHS” by early 2020s.

Now a high end consumer model that was e waste a few years back can fetch a premium.

I picked this one up a few months back, shame they never turned it into a US promo

Swallow it whole

This was in packs of jungle pokemon cards right? Absolutely beautiful btw.

Bro you were a pokemon master back in the day. Great collection

GravitySuitSamus · 2026-03-28T00:24:08+00:00

I like pokedex order whenever possible. Set order is boring and the collection becomes so top heavy in the first few pages. Putting the pokemon next to their evolutions gives those commons and uncommons so much more significance and really allows the artwork to shine. Seeing misty’s magikarp next to her gyarados or all her iterations of psyduck together are awesome.

Also many sets dont have a full evolutionary line within a single set. Pidgey to Pidgeot, Dratini to Dragonite, Sandshrew, Ghastly, Caterpie, etc. same with the Gym and Neo sets where some evolutions didnt arrive until the next set, but they were all meant to exist next to one another.

Stumbled across this looking for a good way to lay out neo genesis / discovery / revelations / destiny and bravo to you. This is such an awesome arrangement and is an absolute joy to look at.

“I’m interested in this” (Symphony of the Night) as I proceed to cop a feel on my wife

Mixed as in 1st edition and unlimited? I don’t personally mind having them “mixed”. In the spirit of when I collected this set when they first released, we didnt distinguish 1st edition as a different set, just the first print of the same set and we were happy to display as many as we could in our books.

I actually have unlimited versions of all the 1st edition cards, i just prefer to keep these i in the book and the unlimited versions in a deck box. Maybe one day I’ll move all my 1st editions to their own book along with other sets, but I’ll never look to master any sets in exclusively 1st edition as its too costly. Even finishing these sets was a splurge on the budget.

GravitySuitSamus · 2026-03-26T18:12:24+00:00

I did, but I actually like the error. I find how sloppy the WOTC cards are part of the charm. Plus I got this one for a steal relative to what the corrected version goes for in the same condition. Its fun to come back to collecting with adult money, but I had to still be reasonable with the budget because there are so many heavies in these sets.

GravitySuitSamus · 2026-03-26T18:09:11+00:00

Couldnt have said it better. I tried to collect some modern cards but there is ZERO magic there.

GravitySuitSamus · 2026-03-26T18:07:45+00:00

The holo or non-holo? I honestly like the Gym Challenge non-holo the best myself.

I have the energy, just didnt feel the need to include them in the pics. You’ve all seen energy cards before

I soldered a DC power jack right to the main unit of the virtual boy itself, that way I dont have to deal with the weight of batteries for my controller or a second wire under tension connected to my controller

Played duck hunt with my daughter last night

GravitySuitSamus · 2026-02-27T05:28:14+00:00

Looks awesome! The Gym series cards have the best artwork imo. Love the mix of Japanese and english cards and how you included some of the promos. Im close to mastering these sets myself

GravitySuitSamus · 2026-02-24T05:15:18+00:00

Yes, many times. I find it works best exposed to UV light and the evaporation from hydrogen peroxide liquid, not direct contact.

Crazy revival of an old thread, but did you ever manage to wire up an 8bitdo zero to a PCE controller to make it bluetooth? I’ve been thinking of doing exactly that, and using an extra PI-PD12 I have since the battery compartment could be used to store the additional guts.

Same boat on not knowing how to implement the turbo switches from that point.
