* original Wide Screen just looks like Gold series but bigger * late Wide Screen has more screen layers and a change to the styling * “New” Wide Screen has two-tone cases where the metal front plate matches the rear case plastic color, the plate features character art, and the title text has styling

“Game Boy Color Mode” is one of several color palette options in the Switch’s Virtual Boy app now, and it soothes me.

Title screen from Virtual Boy Wario Land, running in cool blue/green colors. Cropped to show only the left eye lens image.

People keep saying boycott CBS but I haven’t watched them since Letterman retired.

If you pop off the eyepiece of the new Switch Virtual Boy accessory, inside is the exact same plastic lens thingy from the 2018 Labo VR set. In my opinion, the cardboard version is way more ergonomic.

Star Trek fact💫 The idea that redshirts always die is mostly a myth. In the original series, more goldshirts actually died than redshirts. Your brain just remembers the red ones. Pop culture rewrote the statistics.

Whoever buys Warner Bros. is definitely going to rename HBO Max again.

I’d like to forget “remember me for centuries” and just remember Tom’s Diner.

Tried to play Starfy using Google translate. This happened in less than a minute.

An old lobster is talking in a Game Boy Advance game, and Google Translate is trying to turn Japanese into English, but it says “Rob Grandpa You From Tenkai Enough to make me cum There was a big storm…” which is probably not an accurate translation.

NES: Christmas Tree (1989) GB: Video Game X-Change (1995) N64: Christmas Tree (1996) SNES: Walmart (1998) GC: Software Etc. (2001)(my 1st launch day) Dreamcast: Toys R Us (2001) Wii: Target (2006)(launch) I guess all my other consoles were less exciting at first.

Haven’t seen a peep about the Katamari game that came out today, but I played it until my hands hurt and I hit the top 1% on the leaderboard.
