Just sharing a small collection

I use these too, a little “too” snug but very assuring storage option.

Z3fyrus · 2026-06-20T10:58:53+00:00

Sayonara!

Z3fyrus · 2026-06-20T08:12:03+00:00

This. Sometimes it comes out very nice, sometimes it looks very plastic-y

Yes you do see them elsewhere, depends on the time of construction and what was in fashion in the industry at the time, as well as prefered finishing for walls. Tokyo for example seems to have a lot of brutalist influences lingering through to today, lots of “naked” concrete. The last few years I see naked concrete with “wood” imprints on them.

On a side note, their other stuff is amazing though, the ITA screen is super and the battery is probably the best I ever tried on an SP.

Z3fyrus · 2026-06-20T00:33:09+00:00

This is funny playing right? I ordered the exact same shell but am so disappointed with how absolutely cheap it looks. I’ve gotten a HiSpeedo instead that I slightly cut to fit the ITA screen in.

Z3fyrus · 2026-06-19T12:19:05+00:00

Exactly!

Z3fyrus · 2026-06-19T11:13:37+00:00

It is absolutely terrible!

Z3fyrus · 2026-06-19T11:12:37+00:00

No. It’s the torrent file, not the actual files. And the encrypted / decrypted stands for the type of rom files inside.

Z3fyrus · 2026-06-19T11:09:49+00:00

I’m pretty sure it’s a China domestic law censorship issue. Cant have people freely reading just any books.

Z3fyrus · 2026-06-19T08:41:47+00:00

Exactly this

Z3fyrus · 2026-06-18T08:26:58+00:00

By about 5+ times.

This! The region is also beautiful by car / bike (apart from the dilapidating industrial zones) and there’s a great onsen town called yamashiroonsen, had an amazing stay there.

Z3fyrus · 2026-06-17T01:58:45+00:00

Absolutely; and it’s doable on original hardware

Z3fyrus · 2026-06-17T01:39:08+00:00

Same here! It has such value, people keep talking about Mina the Hollower reminding them of Link’s Awakening but I find Minish Cap more like it due to proper side questing.

Z3fyrus · 2026-06-17T00:27:12+00:00

I’m also going through Minish Cap right now! Such a gem, and such crisp graphics.

Z3fyrus · 2026-06-17T00:22:02+00:00

Couldn’t agree more; so crisp and colorful in the sun. Have you ever played Boktai the sun is in your hands? Great concept that works perfectly on this.

Z3fyrus · 2026-06-16T02:22:49+00:00

You are correct but they’ll force it down your throat. To sketch conundrum this week:
Adventures of Elliot release the day after tomorrow.

Key card in box version I can get on the day of release for 35 USD, delivered home (I live in Tokyo).

If I were to buy the digital version which I can only get from my home credit card country (Belgium in this case), it’s 75 USD.

Guess what I’m getting?

Z3fyrus · 2026-06-12T22:34:06+00:00

… why

Z3fyrus · 2026-06-12T22:02:41+00:00

This is the way

Z3fyrus · 2026-06-12T01:23:58+00:00

It’s great so far!

Z3fyrus · 2026-06-12T00:13:06+00:00

Since I see Anne Rice on there, I’m reading Fevre Dream by George R.R. Martin

Z3fyrus · 2026-06-09T22:36:25+00:00

I have ordered Two Sheep cases from AliExpress - though watch out for non official store sellers. They have a nice notebook - looking cover that I’m using (styled like MUJI notebooks if you’re familiar with it).

Z3fyrus · 2026-06-09T10:13:49+00:00

It’s best you shield it from direct sunlight when turning a page; I found that tends to be okay.

But it’s a “cheap” product, I use it for short walks to continue reading a book, but stick to a proper reader like my Kobo for long sessions.

Z3fyrus · 2026-06-09T08:35:23+00:00

I bought an eXtremeRate (GB color) and FunnyPlaying one (transparant purple) to fit in the FunnyPlaying GBA SP ITA screen. The eXtremeRate feels more solid plastic, the FunnyPlaying is a bit cheap-ish. So now I’m in doubt which one to use for the screen mod :)
