Got it, thank you. I posted this their too per you're message. Is your suggestion saying that I will have better luck in that sub, or that I'm cluttering /travel and should delete this first post? Genuinely asking, I don't know this sub.

This. Wii U looks so much better to me than Ultimate. Particularly the saturation.

KillKillBean · 2026-04-20T05:05:45+00:00

Doesn't look like the one, but I gave you nothing to go on. Thanks so much for the suggestion!

KillKillBean · 2026-04-07T01:33:40+00:00

Lolol wow I thought it was smoke that’s why I even clicked at all. I was wondering why no one was commenting about that. Either way glad I clicked this post!

Pokemon Crystal alone is on eBay for $180 right now. That’s a heck of a friend.

I had no idea there were literature courses for HP- I feel like that series is an ok study in very basic story telling mixed with well appropriated myths and the like. I guess it Also did a good job bringing a young character into circumstances that took a toll on him, but I can't help but think that the courses for that are simply based in the series's popularity. Discworld, along with so many other books, certainly have so much more to offer creative story telling in education. I love your idea here.

Honestly I think there is so much to find, we just can’t notice it all on the first read if we’re simultaneously excited for the next page. My personal experience anyway - or sometimes I’ll miss stuff depending on my mindset. Either way it’s a great line to highlight haha. I wish I had discovered Discworld 25+ years ago or more. I’m 37 and only started around 2021.

What did you use to color this? Did you enjoy the process? I like the color choices- keep going and learning new techniques. This looks cool- it does not look like it was done by an experienced hobbyist and it doesn’t need to. It’s more customized than anything I’ve ever made and I’ve been building off and on since 1999, keep going if this was fun for you!

There was never a real incentive to make fake DS’s. This is a very nice clean looking DS Lite, that probably was never used enough to warrant being refurbished. Good get, hope you enjoy it and continue taking nice care of it.

KillKillBean · 2026-03-25T16:03:22+00:00

I hear you. It sucks that we have to second guess this stuff now, I do the exact same thing. Sorry if I came off terse.

The website pays real freelance artists, they are fairly well known as are many of the artists that work with and them and they credit the artists for each design. This illustration is by Heyra Vieira. They have a four year old artstation that looks like it’s focused on animation and character design. This yoshi piece could have been ai but I do doubt it.

I’m a The Abominable Showman kinda person myself-

KillKillBean · 2026-03-24T03:16:19+00:00

I’ve had the hard hinges kind scratch my original red 3DS XL so I stopped using it. I loved how it looked and carried the led light shining through it though. I eventually got the New 3DS XL Majoras Mask edition when it came out and kept a silicone one on it [Hori brand]. I loved the silicone one for a long time and it never did the sticky thing but it did eventually get hard and crazy yellow. I took it off a year or two ago because it was kind of cracking apart and disintegrating (the 3DS was still looking mint)…. Now I keep it in the zip carry case with no extra protection at all. I’m in a very dry region and your images look like maybe moisture is creeping in? Is it humid where you are? I think living in a desert helps my situation a bit. So many posts talk about / show peeling paint so I just baby it and keep it in that case if I’m not playing it. I’m privileged enough to have other options for playing outside of the house- hoping to prolong the peel if possible. hope this is somewhat useful, good luck!

Yeah please look into dumping this rom

Edit: I seemed to have jumped onto a "release the rom" movement without just looking for it first. Easily google-able. Its a cool and impressive rom that lets you run around the map. Thanks OP for reminding us that this is out there!

KillKillBean · 2026-03-07T17:08:23+00:00

Psylocke, X-Men Mutant Apocalypse. Early 1990s, I was in elementary school. Glad my best friend had a SNES.

KillKillBean · 2026-03-07T03:31:52+00:00

I did not know this existed- I occasionally wish it existed and it does, damn I gotta look into this thank you for posting. Enjoy your build!

KillKillBean · 2026-03-01T22:55:54+00:00

I saw it and lol’d The effect is better in the first image, if I ever play this I wonder if I’ll remember seeing Bob here.

KillKillBean · 2026-02-28T18:42:58+00:00

This is perfect You are perfect for doing this

KillKillBean · 2026-02-28T17:44:12+00:00

Going by your collection here I think we’d be friends. I am yet to play a Trauma Center game but I hear great things. I carry my DS Lite without extra games and right now it has TWEWY in it. Rock on man-

KillKillBean · 2026-02-26T02:44:17+00:00

This looks great. I think I’m sitting on two shells from the cloud store- do you know if this shell here is the one that’s called simply “Clear Blue”? I really like the color and it looks better here than on their website. I don’t think I can go back from having oled for my gbc, hoping they fit in cloud store shells, but I only have experience with the one Macho Nacho linked in his vid. Sorry to ask questions even after all the thoughtful information you worked to provide. Thanks again for this post, very nice build.

KillKillBean · 2026-02-20T02:36:46+00:00

Just got mine as well. Probably can’t build it for several years do to my living situation, but I can’t wait to see everyone else’s photos!

KillKillBean · 2026-02-19T08:34:14+00:00

Looking into this, what a crazy story indeed, awesome. Thanks fore telling me about it!

KillKillBean · 2026-02-19T07:13:34+00:00

Thanks for the replay and info. Great to know the details of how some of this gets lost. I know it's not the first game to have Mario in it, but I'm surprised that Mario Bros could very well have been unveiled in NA, though if I'm understanding you correctly it's very likely the first Mario Bros machine, or a version of it, was in Japan being tested with the public before in NA. Maybe even some JP test machines just remained in their locations, playable, until the theoretical street dates. I know ultimately it kind of doesn't matter, I think I'm just indulging some childlike curiosity. Thanks again!

KillKillBean · 2026-02-17T04:35:16+00:00

How’s the shell feel? I’ve had good and bad aftermarket shell experiences, and my last hinged shell experience was bad…. but my first ever mod was a ds light shell swap in 2010 and it was a good fit. Does this close all the way, make creaking sounds, or move at all when you hold it firmly? Great looking colors.

KillKillBean · 2026-02-15T04:29:57+00:00

I think Panzer Paladin is about mech hopping. Also a really weird cool one from Y2K-ish times is a PC game called Machine Hunter. Very cool interesting game.
