here's the crystal pepsi lineup so far: NES, SNES, N64, Genesis (Model 2), GBA, DS Lite, and Dreamcast. hope to do more shell swaps for the rest of the collection eventually, unfortunately it's a bit hard to find a replacement CD-i shell!

i cannot fucking believe there is ANOTHER BOSS THAT DOES THE "DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE ARENA OPENING ATTACK"
The game over screen of Nuclear Throne. The text says "The struggle continues", the player is playing Plant, at level HQ3 L1, with 515 kills, killed by The Captain of IDPD, and the run lasted 14:01.63.

I LOVE THE CONCENTRIC CIRCLE BAND @redvoxband.com
The first 8 albums of Red Vox, in their vinyl sleeves, propped up against the wall. From left to right, top to bottom, the albums are: Blood Bagel, What Could Go Wrong, Another Light, Kerosene, Realign, Visions, Afterthoughts, and Retcon. The albums are in two rows, four columns.

in case anyone is curious how it looks with the tower of power... it's fine. would really love a 32x clear shell first and a CD clear shell later
The Model 2 Tower of Power with the clear shell Genesis. The 32x and CD addons are in their original opaque shells.

its finally done. holy shit that was way more involved than it shouldve been. the blue color channel on the chip was broken so i had to tap an unused amplifier on the mod chip to get all the colors working. but it now has a genesis 2 compatible video out port and looks awesome on my retrotink!

this took so fucking long to do. i finally got these virtual ribbons put together and installed in my virtual boy. what a god damned nightmare of a console to work on holy shit. and it works.
Two completed Virtual Ribbon mods, which add an FFC connector to the Virtual Boy LED lenses for repairability. One is facing with the LED lens out and the other is facing down with the FFC up.

$60 for a power splitter with some caps is a wild asking price. why would you want a retrotap. for the love of god retro enthusiasts learn basic electronics

Photos on my Gameboy Camera from the #RedVox Indianapolis show, edited by me.
3x2 composite image of shots from the Indy show. Each image is only in 4 colors. From left to right, top to bottom, the images are blue grey, red, teal, green, yellow, and magenta. The first image is a shot of the sky and sign of Hi-Fi, the venue. The second image is an angled shot of the stage with the band's logo on the big screen. The third image is a shot of the band facing straight on (as are the rest of the images) playing the song Forgetter, with Gnorts the Alien seen on screen. The fourth image is of the band playing Settle for Less with the Another Light album art on the screen. The fifth image is of the stage from before the band began playing. The final image is of Super Guitar Bros playing the opening for the main show with their star logo on the screen behind them.

My personal favorite (I believe this was for Quake World though, from Boot Magazine - December 1996).
A magezine advert with many people holding controllers connected to a globe in the middle with a Quake Ranger superimposed over it. The text reads "Go Onto the Internet. Meet New and Fascinating People From All Around the Globe; and Kill Them."

did a shell swap on my ds lite. top screen displays nothing but white, not sure why, might need replacing. bottom screen still works fine. shoulder buttons were a pain in the ass to keep still while i put the back on. case is definitely warped because resin sucks but hey, its "done" lol

wasn't expecting this to be what happened this weekend but I had to put down my dog Ludo this morning. he was a very very old Great Pyrenees, been with my family since I was in middle school. I'm going to miss him a lot.
Ludo the dog in our backyard under some shade from the bright morning. You can see my hand petting his head.

Hey! I did the art for this! Here's the process this piece went through. Sky made the initial sketch, before I did my own take on it. After that, I did the line art and Sky did the coloring. I had her create the background effect using "voronoi", which is that polygonal cell pattern you see.

I moved the console bins with the old shelf to the corner, trying to optimize space since corners are difficult with shelves.
The right half of my retro collection with the old shelf moved into the corner, now holding the three console bins on its own shelf.

bought a new shelf and got it assembled today, wanted something that better filled out the wall space so I could fit more games
The original shelf, approximately 31 inches wide, with wall visible behind it on either side. You can see my collection of NES, SNES, and N64 games with miscellaneous accessories spanning across 4 shelves with the consoles in boxes on top.The new shelf, approximately 46 inches wide, with no wall visible behind it on either side.
