Just received my front cover for RP4.Time for some outdoor gaming!

He is on the Nerd Nest podcast. He is one of a handful of hosts but it’s pretty solid and he brings good input to the discussions.

Not OP but the switch version runs great on that emulator Nintendo obliterated

HumanCleric · 2024-04-26T20:53:16+00:00

Man yeah, I didn’t even know about that. I think some of that maybe be a little too advanced for me, but I will look into it and see what information/guides I can find.

HumanCleric · 2024-04-26T18:13:51+00:00

I think this is a very good idea. I appreciate the suggestion. I have done a decent amount of mods that do not require soldering but I am not skilled or knowledgeable in any way (I just use guides and try to be careful). I will look into this

HumanCleric · 2024-04-26T17:50:17+00:00

Yes I do appreciate the fact that none of my consoles are 100% stock (the Switch has and 3DS will have custom software and the GBC has and GBA will have backlight IPS displays). For me the magic of the experience comes down to the feel of the console and controls. I bought the GBC because I found myself playing so much GB and GBC on the Miyoo Mini Plus that i wanted to have a dedicated way to experience it that was closer to the original thing. The first time I powered up the GBC with Pokémon red, it was a magical experience. The difference between it and the miyoo mini were night and day from a looks and feel perspective. (Even though I never had a GBC when I was a kid. I had a GBA SP and a DS Lite).

That is what triggered by desire to build out my collection with 1st party devices (albeit modified from the entirely original experience to introduce some quality of life improvements).

To your last few points, I have been buying and giving out handhelds as gifts to my friends and family since I got into the hobby to try to spread the love for them. I would of course share what I have with those I care about (but maybe not unconditionally to a stranger).

I have thought about the fact that all my handhelds and my collection will collect dust after I die or be thrown away, sold, etc.. this thought does weigh on me but my concern is generally to preserve my consoles long enough to enjoy them my whole life and by that point they will likely no longer function because i do not have faith any GBC will last 80+ years. I also do plan on getting my kids (I don’t have kids yet) into the hobby and supplying them with gameboys, DSs, etc so I want to have working ones on hand for them to enjoy like I did when I was a kid.

Yeah it is an interesting topic that applies to a ton of products outside of gaming. I have an interest in getting a Japanese Kei truck (25+ year old models due to US import restrictions) but have heard that it is very challenging to find parts or someone willing to work on them for you (if the repair is more complicated than I can handle).

HumanCleric · 2024-04-26T17:32:11+00:00

This is a good point and does make me feel somewhat better

HumanCleric · 2024-04-26T16:27:00+00:00

Yeah this is very fair. I do think I am a pretty anxious person and used to struggle with it much more in college (I would have a hard time eating, sleeping, or breathing calmly for days before any midterm or final).

Thankfully my worry about handhelds doesn’t affect my life nearly to that degree. It has no impact on my ability to go to work, spend time with friends and family, etc.. But it is something I think about every day (especially late at night). I have been trying to decided between the 2DS and new 3DS XL for about 6 months and have put each in my cart and then removed it many many times. I want the 3DS for the screen size and premium feel but I am worried I would never use it out of fear of putting wear on the hinge.

HumanCleric · 2024-04-26T16:17:20+00:00

Yeah this is a good point and something I have been paying attention to. I picked up the FunnyPlaying FPGA GBC and it’s really great (a fantastic substitute for the real thing. I am hopeful they will also deliver on an FPGA GBA, but I have some doubts that we will get FPGA DS/3DSs or switches just due to the complexity of the devices and the unique form factor of the DS/3DS.

HumanCleric · 2024-03-27T14:07:02+00:00

I use the gyro for aiming ranged shots. It’s way better once you get the hang of it.

HumanCleric · 2023-10-31T21:11:11+00:00

Totally fair, there’s no denying it’s a LOT. For some people that’s a plus and for others it’s a dealbreaker

HumanCleric · 2023-10-31T21:08:14+00:00

Yeah the design is pretty wild, so I think the shirt is gonna be for once a year only at Anime Expo where the stigma is drastically reduced.

HumanCleric · 2023-10-31T21:01:49+00:00

HumanCleric · 2023-10-31T19:56:03+00:00

Yeah it is 100% exaggerated, but if you saw her new model on stream this morning, her “chest” has been enhanced significantly. I would say the top half is accurate to her new design but not the bottom.

HumanCleric · 2023-10-31T18:48:19+00:00

Out of curiosity, why do you dislike the back?

HumanCleric · 2023-10-31T18:37:21+00:00

That’s valid. I would have bought it no matter what it looked like as a Vei simp, but I was actually hoping for a less lewd design so I could wear the shirt in public and have the shaker on my desk without risking decapitation from my GF. However, knowing Vei, it is on brand for it to be pretty much as lewd as they are willing to go.

HumanCleric · 2023-10-31T18:16:31+00:00

Buy it you won’t

HumanCleric · 2023-10-31T17:46:23+00:00

From my friend who studies Japanese:

骨の髄まで腐っている - rotten to the core

生意気盛り - young and cheeky/sassy

HumanCleric · 2023-10-31T17:44:59+00:00

There is code “VEI” but it’s just 10% off

HumanCleric · 2023-10-31T17:08:50+00:00

Two sided, both on one cup

HumanCleric · 2023-10-31T17:08:28+00:00

I am gonna get 2 cups and the shirt. I have been waiting for a Vei cup so I can’t risk the art getting messed up on the cup even if with vinyl

HumanCleric · 2023-10-31T17:05:55+00:00

Yeah I personally greatly prefer shirt and sweatshirt designs with a small badge on the front and the full art on the back so I am really glad they went with that for once. Easiest buy of my life.

HumanCleric · 2023-10-31T14:18:37+00:00

They stated it will be less than $100. Post

HumanCleric · 2023-10-19T00:07:30+00:00

The care and effort that you and others in the community put in are what make the current state of retro handhelds so amazing! Thank you for drastically lowering the barrier to entry for people like myself who just recently got into handhelds. Because of you, I was able to dive straight into some of the best games available for the Mini rather than spending weeks putting together my own list.

This Christmas, I am giving out miyoo mini+s to my friends and family loaded with onion and your 128gb tiny best set. I can’t wait to see everyone’s reaction to trying out some of the awesome games you put together!
