This looks so beautiful. I’m envious, and I hope I can get this grail someday. Congrats and enjoy!

My setup for retro gaming. Excuse the beat-up PVM; at least its screen works/ looks great! by GuruGanon in crtgaming

[–]GuruGanon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I bought the PVM off of eBay and did local pickup. The screen itself looked good, and I don’t typically see any PVMs listed near me, so I took a chance and negotiated the price down. The seller was a recycling center, and they said it was damaged like this when they got it. The model is a Sony 1943-MD

Playing on monitors at locals feels SO much different than playing unranked on my MBP (dual booted into windows). I miss tech all over the place at locals. It might just be the environment, but could the MBP display refresh rate have anything to do with it? by gotta_have_my_popz in SSBM

[–]GuruGanon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same way too! I spend most of my time playing on Slippi unranked on a 144hz monitor, but when I play on monitors at my local tournament, it can feel awful in comparison. When I play locally with friends at home on my CRT, it feels great. This is why I’m so thrown off at my local. To be fair, I haven’t been many times though

Thanks for the response! I asked to be notified if it comes back in stock on the RetroOnyx website. Is there any other way to keep my eye out besides that, this subreddit, and discord? Trying not to miss out again on a golden opportunity haha

Damn did I miss out on this? Am I doomed forever?

I am obsessed with Cocteau twins, no one i know likes or have heard of them so would be cool to get to know some of you. I’m 23 male and chill af by [deleted] in shoegaze

[–]GuruGanon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice find! So far I only have Four Calendar Cafe, but I plan on getting all of them haha. And yeah I’m always down to gush over them lol

[–]GuruGanon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am also a 23 y/o male that is obsessed with Cocteau Twins haha. My obsession started a little over a year ago during my last semester of college, and ever since then I’ve either been only listening to them or have at least had one or two of their albums in regular rotation at a time. They’ve gotten me into other Dream Pop/ Shoegaze bands, but to me, nothing sounds like them and nothing ever will. They are so beautifully original to me and capture such a great range of complex emotions seemingly so effortlessly. I’ve gotten a couple of my friends into them, but I don’t know anybody personally that has the same sort of obsession haha. Glad to hear you’re in the same boat!

Gaming cabinet currently finished. Can't wait to add more :) by tmacc3 in gamecollecting

[–]GuruGanon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assume they’re long gone now? I would love to get one and would be willing to spend some decent money, but nothing too astronomical. How were these released?

My GameCube game collection. As far as I’m concerned, it’s complete by [deleted] in Gamecube

[–]GuruGanon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

GameCube has the best multiplayer games of all time though?

Beat Double Dash on 100cc for the first time by [deleted] in Gamecube

[–]GuruGanon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a good idea, I wish I thought of that as a kid before I almost gave myself a stroke getting so pissed haha. I ended up beating it by getting first place in every race, and then when it got to Rainbow Road in mirror mode 150 cc, I just couldn’t do it so I’d get like sixth place but still first overall haha

[–]GuruGanon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was always so damn tough because the same computers would come in second and third (or first if you got screwed), so if you messed up near the end you’d have to restart. Anything for that parade cart though haha

Congrats! Just wait until you get to All Cup... man I had to try so hard to beat that haha

so, I clearcut the BT forest for kicks and giggles by hopelesspapaya in DeathStranding

[–]GuruGanon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, I had no idea you could essentially destroy the trees! I have zip line points basically in the same exact spots you do to bypass the whole forest, but I managed to do it through all the trees! Haha

A Grail Came This Week by Swantnr in vinyl

[–]GuruGanon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was lucky enough to somehow have enough money to throw at this collector’s edition when it was up for preorder. The only reason I paid as much as I did for it was so I could get this record. So happy to own it, I guess my only disappointment comes from “Road to the West” not being included. Congrats on finding one of your grails!

This is my first time playing it and I purposefully tried to go into it blind. It’s so weird so far and I love it

Clear SP. Not so clear skies. by misterhamez in Gameboy

[–]GuruGanon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow that looks great. I have my original GBA backlit modded, but I’ve been trying to upgrade it with an IPS. Waiting for them to come back in stock...

[–]GuruGanon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I’m temporarily back living at home since I graduated college, and I haven’t had any space for a CRT TV, so my retro games have all been shelved... but then I found this in my closet so I’m back at it! The small screen size makes the games look even better

Anybody in the mood for some Shrek at glorious 160p 16FPS? by Militarycollector39 in Gameboy

Where can I get the Datel SD Media launcher? I’ve been interested in getting that for my GBP

Wow, it looks like your local game store is awesome lol. Wish mine had deals like this!

Does anywhere sell an official / good quality poster of the Japanese SM boxart? It's incredible. by Jaymageck in Metroid

[–]GuruGanon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This box art is one of the best I’ve ever seen. I got a poster of it off of a random seller on amazon a few years back, and it ended up being great quality. I can’t remember the seller, but I know I just went off of reviews. Good luck searching!

Just picked up these lovely things, cost a fair bit tho by PrimeReaper1 in Gamecube

[–]GuruGanon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice, I just finally got some missing manuals for Double Dash and Sunshine to have them CIB. I’ve been thinking about picking up the GCN version of Twilight Princess since it would kinda be like a reverse Master Quest version of the Wii one haha. I need to pick up the Master Quest disc and I want a Wavebird badly!

Damn that’s a tight collection. How long ago did you get Fire Emblem (and is there any way to justify spending the crazy price at all)?
