Shank @shankmods.bsky.social · 11/12/2025Found these adorable little bootlegos at Walmart for $8 each. A few cursed building techniques, but overall not bad for the price. They are called "Zuru MAX Retro Collection". They are in these orb things that look like gachas, but which one you get is clearly labeled on it. 2565
Shank @shankmods.bsky.social · 27/10/2025I had the privilege of beta testing Gatling Tommy's "Mother of All Blasters" kit. The MOAB fires 50 nerf darts per second (yes, 3000rpm) using its 6 rotating barrels, from a 500 round backpack. More info 🧵 4504

Shank @shankmods.bsky.social · 01/03/2025It's still crazy to me that nobody has developed a GBA e-reader "flash cart" style ROM hack of the e-reader ROM where you can pop up a menu to select from a list of "cards" on your SD card to have the e-reader "scan". Would make lots of obscure content way more accessible. 2533
Shank @shankmods.bsky.social · 01/03/2025Tonight I attempted a method to add fake scanlines to lumadoub using only i2c commands to try to turn the DACs on and off every line. Nope, not gonna happen. It's just not fast enough. Guess I'll have to explore other methods that involve additional components. 2320
