Here's a follow-up video of the original Game Boy successfully powering on! I plan to do a full rebuild of the unit with a new case, screen, and rechargeable power solution. (At some point down the road.)

So I came across this (according to the seller) "non-functional" original Game Boy online for a relatively small price. Turns out the battery contacts just needed to be cleaned due to corrosion build up. So now I've got a fully working Game Boy with boat load of games and a fun magnifier/light!

Dissembled original Game Boy with freshly cleaned battery contacts and cleaned internal case. Internal motherboard and overall circuitry are o. Full display on top of a blue anti-static mat.

Full line up of now fully functional original Game Boy and ten included games in protective dust covers as well as the screen magnifier/night light accessory. All on a blue anti-static mat.

Fun one to one comparison of the original Game Boy/game cartridge and the Lego set reproduction. Both sitting on top of a blue anti-static mat.

This was my Valentine's Day card to my wonderful significant other~ @kabloomn.bsky.social #princessdaisy #daisy #valentinesday

A Valentine's day card of Princess Daisy sick in bed with text that reads "Rose are red Violets are Bloo~ DAISY MAYBE SICK BUT I'M NEVER SICK OF YOU! Happy Valentine's Day~ UwU" amongst a blue vase that holds yellow Daisy's on a brown table against a white wall and winow with white blinds.

Not gonna lie...considering how many times I had to report his Splatoon 2 plaza posts back in the day, I consider this to be an accomplishment~ ☺️

So I made my own character/room for Gogh~ It's been fun setting things up so far! The gif customization adds so much extra fun to it all. Fun fact! I somewhat based the layout off of my office in real life. (And my character is somewhat based off of my Splatoon Inkling OC.) #gogh

I think my play history shows just how Splatoon pilled I became. (And I'm totally okay with that~)

Got second place in our group for our first Salmon Run scrim. Not a bad first attempt. Would've gotten more another shift in had the game not decided to screw us over with a DC and buggy match-making. #splatoon3 #salmonrun #splatoonNSFW

Took me far longer than I care to admit, but I finally thwarted Telethia, the EndBringer in Xenoblade Chonicles X! Funnily enough, this is my first Xenoblade game. It was a blast an absolute blast! I plan to play the first game after taking a much deserved break. #xenobladechroniclesx #xenoblade

Had a lot of fun setting up and posing the Tears of the Kingdom Link Figma. (Was so tempted to keep Link posed as the corner guardian of my desk...but setting up the rocket powered para-glider absolutely took precedence.) #LegendofZelda #link #figma #tearsofthekingdom

Front and back of the boxes for the Tears of the Kingdom Link Figma. Both boxes sit on a black modeling table with a pokemon mouse pad underneath and edges of a lamp and pictures frames just out of sight.

Link utilizes the Zonia ascend portal to stand as a guardian of the corner of my computer desk. Link holds his sword and shield out as he protects my various lego flowers and Salmon Run art prints.

Tears of the Kingdom Link Figma posed with the Hylan Sheild up and the Master Sword held out in a side hoping pose with the para-glider attached to the Zoni Rocket flying above him. The box is visible in the background along with other desk decorations like a Mario Statue.

Tears of the Kingdom Link figma posed in a brown display shelf with the same rocket powered Para-Glider along with the Tears of the Kingdom OST box set and the bonus Master Sword USB thumb drive. (Shaped like a stone master sword in a pedestal with the royal family crest carved into the front. Also the rock stick lays infront of link. Waiting to be utilized.)

So I decided to treat myself for my birthday~ (Plenty of pics to come!)

The box for the GoodSmile Figma of Link from Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The box is black with a premium matte finish and shows link standing at attention with a Zoni bow at the ready. The box sits on top of a brown table and sushi mat with various book shelfs in the shot behind it.

Since I got my WonderSwan upgraded and have been playing Gunpey EX on it, I decided to bust out my PSP and try out the 2006 version of Gunpey. (On the CRT, of course~) #gunpey #psp #crt

Also, here are some tear down pics of my WonderSwan during the upgrade process. (It was super clean and in fantastic condition!) #wonderswan

Other side of primary PCB board where button contacts and speaker module are in plain view on top of blue anti-static repair mat. PCB board is remarkably clean despite the device's age.

After a week, Wing Zero EW Ver. Ka is completed! Not bad for having been out of practice for a year. The most time consuming part were the water decals. (And unfortunately, not all of them made it. 😔) Regardless, I'm proud and glad I could take the time to really make this particular kit shine!

Completed full body build of Wing Zero Custom EW Ver.Ka with full line detailing, paint, and water decals applied to entire body and included accessories.

Got the body portion of the build done and lined! (I'll be working on the weapons and wings soon enough.)

Wing Zero Custom Ver. Ka model kit body portion has been built and line detailed. The completed body stands on top of a green model cutting board with decal sticker sheet behind it and next to the assembly model. (Various remaining part trees and mario lamp/statue are visible in the background.)

After a long hiatus from Gundam model kit building, I decided to jump back into the fray with a Ver.Ka of my all time favorite!

Long black model kit building table with all the part trees laid out in a (mostly) organized arrangement along with various model kit tools such as clippers, detailing pens, assembly book, and geometric cutting boards.

So I took busted out my old DSLR kit and tested it with my cat Walter. (Seems like everything's still in working order!)

Despite being in the city, my significant other and I were able to catch some of the aurora borealis! (Yes, it was localized entirely in our kitchen. And no, you cannot see it.)

First glimpse of green and purple aurora borealis in the night sky with power lines outlining the bottom left foreground.

Dramatic flares of aurora borealis with purple and green flares streaking across the night sky along with trees and power lines outlining the overall foreground.
