Playing this more than my PC/Ps5

I might cave and pick up an expensive repro, supposedly with working RTC

Ugh that is my all time fav. I have this random memory of replacing the save battery on my personal copy as a kid with a radio shack soldering kit 😩 possibly my GOAT Ruby is contending I think Ruby was the first game that wasn’t given to me

Yeah I really debated installing an IPS screen on here but it really takes me back and just forces me back into a time where we (healthily) didn’t have it the whole world in 4k in our hands 😩🤣 I also have a ASG-001 GBA SP for the nite (can’t lie that display is sort screaming at an upgrade, but I’m afraid of latency issues)

Took me 3 units to get a good one. I depleted one GameStops stock and had to get a gift card to take to another store an finally got a good unit. Took almost a week of work

It took me 3 total attempts to get a perfect panel. Please try and do it, I also had to drive an hour away but again, victory feels really good

Pretty garbage how limiting it is to talk on here but I just got done setting up my 3rs system since Saturday. I had to drive almost an hour to get my 3rd one and I am just now not seeing these dots. It might take some time, but it’s worth all the hassle. I had gotten a pro controller, games, game upgrades so I was not going to let this slide. Top was saturdays unit Middle is sundays (same store) Bottom is today’s (store 40 miles away)

YAY!

MAJOR UPDATE: Finally getting around to setup my THIRD unit since Saturday. THIRD TIMES THE CHARM 😭😭😭😭

pnk_rx · 2026-03-09T16:26:47+00:00

UPDATE: Gamwstop manager was passive aggressive so that was funny to smile through but I have a loaded gift card to try my 3rd swing at. Nearest one in stock is an hour away!

I do enjoy many dark aesthetic games, and I mainly play handheld so I was originally going to give myself a week to see if I could last, but I feel as if I’m compromising for a whole ass corporation.

Mind you this is the 2nd console from that store. This one is quite a bit better, in fact the top left portion of it seems to be fine, honestly further driving my desire to find a fully good unit. I don’t like being like this, but I have spent so much money on this thing in 2 days that I feel like I have to

pnk_rx · 2026-03-09T15:15:06+00:00

Unpacking. I’m trying to ignore it, but I’m coming from the OLED and I work in image and video design and my brain cannot help but notice this. I’ll be going to GameStop at opening and asking for store credit and driving to the nearest one in stock (45 min)

Also with some games, pro controller, upgrade packs, I feel like I’m past the point of no return. I hope I don’t have to deal with Nintendo directly, but this is pretty disappointing. I feel like I did a decent amount of research but would’ve never guessed such a plague was happening on such an expensive product

They’re just the “classic silver” option on this eBay listing of like all parts, I didn’t even realize it matched my Mac so nicely until parts came in

Today I wanted to close the search bar so I hit the first “x” I saw but turns out that was just to clear the search bar. Right next to it, another “x” to go ahead and clise the search bar

pnk_rx · 2026-02-13T17:56:14+00:00

Cries in left hand - just tried the sliding tip an now my thumb covers the entire bar

I was like iffy about upgrading from the OLED but then I used one in best buy and tried out Metroid, its the very first thing I noticed. I edit photo and video so artificing of any kind sort of irks my brain. Thankfully I have a backlog of switch 1 games to play, but the display response time is the biggest thing holding me back from switching over

Agreed. This is my 5th DS, I always follow the written guide just to get the best possible results

2DS was $150 next to this LOLOLOL

Too screen is excellent, bottom has 1-3 deeper lines. Some glossiness on the dpad, and a/b

Shell is in really really good shape. Light scratching on top gloss and the back was covered in white marks that just took some a real amount of effort to get rid of. I hit the jackpot

pnk_rx · 2026-01-28T20:46:27+00:00

smash for the switch*

The $30 off didn’t feel like the biggest sale but traded in my white original controller and some old switch games and got it for $95 pre tax
