I woke up one morning convinced I absolutely needed to have the horizontal stand for the PS2. Life is pretty good.

The Pocket Advance is incredible. The build is solid and everything just feels right. I love this thing!

Well shit. I’m a nerd now. 🤓 I’ve had sex dozens of times but I’m still really going to miss it

Oh hell yes. Finally seeing it on the big screen.

Thank you @Apple for coming up with a better way to track my numerous diarrhea episodes. It felt really stressful having to remember to carry Sharpies and index cards.

Maybe this is the Covid talking but I’m seriously considering a tattoo of this little fella

Been dragging my heals this summer on a whole bunch of projects because I’m redoing the shop. I say it every week, but this time I’m mildly confident I’ll get it done! 💪 Added lighting, shelves, AC (huge deal in Texas), printer spaces, workbenches, hookers and blackjack!

Playing with adding speaker mounts to the PVM stand. The speakers should eventually get their own stands which connect to the base via those dowels.

As if I don’t already have too many irons in the fire, @fenriswolfretro.bsky.social goes ahead and sends me this unsolicited! Of course I’m have to restore it now. Welp.. Welcome to the Super Famicom Box restoration thread!

I used to sneak out the front window every weekend to go hangout with the rest of the freaks at Rocky Horror. Tim was awesome 😔

All I’m sayin is.. which end is the handle?

Be sure to check the saves on that used game before you give it to the kids!

Tried out the ModRetro. Played like OG hardware except for hyperkin controllers. Controller build quality seems good but GameCube sticks feel wrong. I wish they had Zelda or Mario64 so I could how well it emulates the analogue sensitivity of the OG. Thoughts @rockergamer15.bsky.social?

The announcement said there would be an orgy in the AVGN Nerd Room but it’s been like 10 minutes and I’m the only one here

Okay… Here are my Classic Game Fest gets. I got some good stuff today but overall I didn’t see that many deals. I saw at least 200 copies of Pokémon Crystal. All priced around $200. It’s clearly not rare, so WTF? 🤷‍♂️ 200x200= $40,000 of pure Crystal.

Look what I found for sale at Classic Game Fest! 🤪

Oh so when the gals do it they get 10k subs?? it’s not fair. Try to stay positive my brother!

WTF!?! Like every day you make me verify my age on mobile, and today I get this shit on my desktop?? Come on @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app this is horseshit!! Do better

Okay everybody can chill the F out now. I cloned the feet of the Apple II 3.5” Unidisk drive.

Ran out of peroxide, but it’s responding really well!

Things from Apple’s Snow White design era tend to get hit hard by UV damage. That sticker placement really sucks

‪That ain’t bad! Installation was a bit annoying as I had to glue in all the little clips for the stabilizer bars even though the instructions indicated they would just press-fit into the keycaps.‬ ‪It really does feel like an OG Amiga KB, only a lot better. 👍 ‬

BlueShell3D @blueshell3d.com · 16/07/2026

Ohhhh yeah. This in gonna be fun #amiga

I think it’s a SN74HCT125DR.. a level shifter from my Apple II Yellowstone drive controller. I connected an “untested” 3.5 floppy I got from eBay to it and boom.. magic smoke.

NES Cart PCBs with greenband’s are a tricky matter and very misunderstood... especially by Youtubers... 1/3

Almost threw in the towel!! 😅 “Untested” Apple II Mouse and Interface Card were both busted! The rom for the card was shy one pin and the mouse’s 5V line was broken inside the strain relief.

‪Not stealthy but the Apple IIGS keyboard is one of my favorites with its wonderfully clicky mechanical alps switches. Managed to get this one running by reflowing the ADB ports. Gave it a clean and ordered a new “A” key since the current one was broken and glued back together. ‬

Playing with a stealth Apple IIGS build. This form factor is pretty fun but I wish I had gotten a modern mechanical keyboard when it was available.
