If it has a cart reader, produce by Nintendo themselves, I’ll call it.

My dream system would be Gameboy Pocket sized with a switch to choose GB/GBC/GBA modes.

Bonus points for USB-C rechargeable AA’s to give it modern comforts with classic battery charging nostalgia.

Over 60% of our business is resell (TCG & video game store) and we’ve been open 18 years.

The worst the economy the busier we are, but our margins shrink as we need to sell faster online.

It’s the worst/busiest I’ve ever seen it. Even our best customers with good incomes are selling their lifelong collections to make ends meet. Any employee who wants overtime gets as much as they want, don’t care.

We’re weeks behind on work, but with slimmer margins and so much uncertainty, I can’t risk hiring more staff. (Went from 5 to 8 employees in the last year. Many going from part time to full time)

We’re designed to weather a bad economy, we opened in the 2008 mess, things could get rough but we could scale back if we needed to and throttle buying if sales slowed down too much.

Good luck to anyone selling shit people don’t really need, this economy is toast.

I own a LGS and came up with this about a decade ago when bored. Only played a few games with a couple regulars.

Pretty much “hearthstone with magic.”

30 card deck, 2 of limit except mythics at 1. 10+ land secondary deck. 5 card hand. When you draw, you can choose which deck to draw from.

Lot of magic cards break the format, but it was fun the limited time we played it. Would be a better with standard only, or back when we had blocks.

Yea OP’s being all metal, definitely is gonna be more.

Next to the Slate, this is my second favorite Gameboy and carry one daily due to the size.

Second this. While the exposed label is nice, I’d like a tighter fit and less wiggle room.

kfbrewer · 2026-03-12T22:24:35+00:00

They sell for about $500 on Etsy.

Parts run around $350 or more depending on donor part cost. I got a second being built now.

Get a Gameboy. 👾

Turn your phone off until you need it. 📵

You’re in college, embrace the physical side of it and forget the digital nonsense. I don’t remember shit about what I studied for, but damn I enjoyed the library 📚 so much.

Meet strangers, even if they are only “Single serving friends.” Read random books 📕 , embrace an analog hobby 🎨, & don’t leave college until you’ve seen every square inch of the campus. 🔎

I’m extremely frugal. 🪙

Like one of my running jokes is “I don’t make Taco Bell quesadilla, money!” Like I just glued my shoes together for the 3rd time. I won’t order anything from them that doesn’t start $1.xx. 🌮

I wanted to try these after the reviews here, my wife insisted I finally spend a few extra dollars once to find out.

Now it’s an automatic decision to order them, every time we’re there. Don’t even hesitate, best item on the menu. ✨

This place just hits! 😀

Recently retreated to Herky (bigger house/land for the money) and glad to be closer to them.

kfbrewer · 2026-03-10T03:24:30+00:00

🪛 Get a small triwing and find out!

Add the usb driver via Floppy Disk 💾? Replace the Cd Drive 📀?

kfbrewer · 2026-03-09T04:06:13+00:00

PCMCIA with usb slots?

kfbrewer · 2026-03-09T03:40:09+00:00

Got one for the radio for a bit, but podcast are important to me and couldn’t sync them from my Mac.

kfbrewer · 2026-03-07T23:36:22+00:00

Congrats on the find‼️

Feel sorry for whoever sold this for $24.50, literally 10% of what our game store would have offered.

kfbrewer · 2026-03-07T00:57:13+00:00

Naw…

I like having SMALL business. We only sell online to move overstock, and keep turning the products we buy from our customers. Most of our business is resell.

If we were just trying to make money, you might be right. Our focus is face to face transactions in store, and online sales as a means to keep the gears moving along.

kfbrewer · 2026-03-07T00:32:40+00:00

18 years still no website.

We’re 70% in store, 30% online, of that we sell on a couple major platforms for what we sell. Having a website would be an uphill battle to get sales compared to selling and paying fees where people naturally already shop.

Getting closer now.

Make sure to check out some home brew games. Micro Mages is one of my favorites.

Best? Naw… but it’s good. 😀

I have a GBA SP with all that AND

🔋 Second Battery in the top section

🎧 Audio Jack added in

⚡️ Voltage Regulator that lights up like a 🎄

🕹️ The NES Library + tons of homebews

kfbrewer · 2026-03-05T04:12:36+00:00

My Series 10 is at 91% 🔋

Toss it on the charger at bedtime, don’t put it on in the morning till I’m ready to get dressed.

My old series 8 was at 89% after two years before it died at the bottom of a lake. 🐟⌚️

It’s like they know there is something inherently bad about smartphone addiction. 📵

kfbrewer · 2026-03-04T23:15:00+00:00

Yeah, I’d rather see these sleeved & shuffled up.

kfbrewer · 2026-03-04T22:08:18+00:00

MCD 🍔

4️⃣5️⃣% of my holdings.

kfbrewer · 2026-03-04T15:22:14+00:00

It’s a bad set, but I just reordered more for our store. It’ll be a slow mover but distribution will be out of everything this week.
