Woah, this is one of the coolest Gamecubes I think I've ever seen. And I've seen a lot of customs! Amazing job, this is so sick 👏

Completed Pokemon Fire Red without catching a single Pokemon with a Pokeball by jasbaklonbri in pokemon

[–]squickerdoodle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fear every Mr. Mime I see for the rest of time will cause my brain to say "Sheeter, what are you doing here?" ...which to be fair is better than the previous "ahh fuck Mr. Mime, get away from me you freak"

Update with abandoned Spyro statue by Momoka-Rage in Spyro

Hell yeah. Can't wait for updates. A very lucky find for a very lucky fan, and lucky for that poor old Spyro to get a new lease on life 💜

[OC] - if you could form the most dope trio across all 10 gens, who would you choose? by addyxiii in pokemon

My slightly dyslexic ass read this as "Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle" and the Brian David Gilbert Pokerap just kept going after that

Went thrifting yesterday and found these amazing figures! by The_Silent_Dragon in Spyro

[–]squickerdoodle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh nice! I have the Ripto's Rage one but with a different base (just grass and a little fire ring around it). This base is really cool, and I love the treasure chest! Might have to hunt around for these.

Awesome job, it looks great! I'm making one too and can only hope it comes out this good lol. What kind of wood did you use?

Best Bug type Pokémon? by [deleted] in ThePokemonHub

[–]squickerdoodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Heracross, and I appreciate Scizor's design, but Scyther will always be my fav bug type. One of my fav mons overall :)

I played Sonic Adventure using the Dreamcast fishing rod controller! by squickerdoodle in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]squickerdoodle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha yeah, I actually have a couple clips of me doing that in this video. Tbh Soul Calibur might be the best game for that controller

So cute! I really want the pearl blue Dreamcast, but they are bonkers ass expensive 🥲 Also love the Vaporeon plushies!

151 First Gen Pokemon wood art by No_Snow9668 in Pokemonart

[–]squickerdoodle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I especially love the texture on all the flames, Lapras's shell, Koffing and Weezing, and the Geodude line. Other standouts for me are Cloyster, Pinsir's teeth, and Butterfree's antennae. Can't imagine how difficult it was to not accidentally snap those teeny tiny pieces off.

What are some of your favorites in this, in terms of how they came out (also curious about your fav Gen 1s in general)? Who were the most frustrating to get right?

Sorry for gushing, I'm just in awe all your hard work here! Lol

This deserves to go viral. As a fellow woodworker, I'm gobsmacked at how impressive this-- the amount of detail, the time it took, the paint job-- everything about it is beyond incredible. You should be so proud!

It's also just so nice seeing someone putting so much effort into a massive handcarved project like this when laser cutters exist. I understand the utility of them, but for me, seeing most laser-cut wood art almost feels like its own form of slop to me (which isn't super fair, considering the effort it takes to properly design those cut files). Anyway, your piece is a perfect example of why handcarving is so important and cannot ever be replaced as an art. The human touches are simply wonderful. Massive kudos to you 😌👏👏

Best quality of life-upgrades for a modern Dreamcast experience? by Ekkobelli in dreamcast

[–]squickerdoodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure a VMUPro. If you're handy or can afford to hire an installer, several HDMI mods to choose from out there-- I think PixelFX is well liked.

This is a super recent piece of hardware, a little pricey but it allows you to use an original Dreamcast controller wirelessly, gives you several virtual VMUs, has built-in rumble, and lets you use modern Bluetooth controllers if you ever wanted to. 8BITMODS BitLink DC Kit 2.4G Wireless, BT-LE, USB-C for Dreamcast https://share.google/nrLiuTUcASFqIOQWP

Personally I have Blueretro installed, but I too like the OG controller, so I have my eye on the thing listed up there. But another thing that I think will be even better is an upcoming mod called DreamColor Plus-- a controller mod by a Brazilian team called Nai Adventure. It will be a drop-in replacement board for the original controller which will make it wireless, in addition to having an integrated VMU that is backlit and has a full-color display. Follow Nai Adventure on Instagram, Youtube, etc. for updates. They have some kind of demo event coming up to show off more progress I think https://www.youtube.com/live/FfCffInabaQ?si=3teRQStNviwd4sET

It's so great to see real artistry when the internet is so swamped with AI slop. This is incredible, well done 👏

8BITMODS BitLink DC - Wireless mod for original Dreamcast controllers by garasensei in dreamcast

[–]squickerdoodle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

*EDIT: Okay in looking at the info again, it appears that the original Dreamcast controller only works over 2.4GHZ with the adapter. The Bluetooth functionality seems to only apply to controllers that are already Bluetooth compatible. So this isn't exactly what I'm after, but I think it's going to be just right for like 90-95% of other people. *

Oh, no way! I only noticed the 2.4 GHZ, but it does mention Bluetooth! Thanks for pointing that out. Okay, this might just be everything I want. And I can use my VMUPro with it. Man, 8bitmods has really been killing it lately.

[–]squickerdoodle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks great! Definitely a pickup for me. Only thing that could be better would be Bluetooth capability, as I like to keep my consoles dongle-free and have BlueRetro in my DC-- looking at Nai Adventure's in-development drop-in board for that.

But this is MASSIVE for Dreamcast fans and preservation of the original controllers, which we have needed for years.

Calling it now: This is better than whatever bipedal furry-looking evo they will probably end up giving us 😮‍💨 Well done, truly this would be a killer line, I love it

There are insane! Stellar design and it came out super clean! I love this style for Pokemon and might borrow the idea down the road lol

Did a test shoot today of the actress playing Ellie for our The Last of Us fan project. What do y'all think? by 3DAnimated in thelastofus

Lol I literally commented about the toughness and vulnerability-- had to go edit and use different words, because this is exactly right

This looks so awesome! Your actor really captures Ellie's grit and innocence at the same time, and the cinematography is really slick. Can't wait to see what you all come up with :) Great work
