My pocket air mini entered customs in my state. But I live in a big state so I'm guessing it'll be here around saturday to tuesday next week. Ordering from ayaneo is already a pain, but doing it during the holidays is worse because of slow shipping.

Wife got me a Retro Pocket Pixel yesterday. Will it arrive before or after my Ayaneo Pocket Air Mini that was shipped last week? Taking bets.

Hypocrisy doesn't bother right wingers so it shouldn't bother you either. It's only a weapon against you because you let it be one.

Talking about ModRetro is a bit hard to navigate. I think by talking about them and making a video I'm giving them free ads. But at the same time people should know about ModRetro being owned by an arms dealer. So it's a damned if you, damned if you don't situation. youtube.com/shorts/1dV-R...

Nothing really captures the fun and whimsy of the gameboy like making one from the metal of a flying murder machine.

The mean part of me wants to say people don't like emulation because they're scared of file explorer.

I think we can give up on this being called the Information Age now. Maybe we should call it the "Instant Age" where we care more about how quickly things are done rather than how well they're done.

I forgot I recorded a bunch of shorts in advance. So I don't have to write anything new for a few months. Glad I thought ahead and didn't delete them by accident. They're all "evergreen" too so I don't have to worry about whether they're trendy. So they can be uploaded whenever.

There have been multiple retro handhelds that use the allwinner a133p chipset and they all run very hot. I think maybe it's time we stop putting it into handhelds.

I dont like using original hardware because handheld screens sucked. Free Thinkers: WhY dOnT u UsE aN iPs ScReEn MoD? It's cheaper to buy one emulation handheld than it is to buy a screen kit. Also it plays more than just one system. I'd have to spend 200+ to mod all my systems with new screens.

Big cat and little gaming. Playing Pokémon All In, a romhack where pokemon are acquired through gacha. On the rg28xx. While relaxing with Beau. #pokemon #gaming #pokemonromhack #retrogaming

Planning on playing more dreamcast and saturn but I'm waiting for my Ayaneo PAM to get in. Itll be the only device have besides pc powerful enough for both. I want to be comfortable when I start Skies of Arcadia, and Sonic Adventure 2 for the 10th time.

There are games other than pokemon. Pokemon Fans: You're talking about romhacks right?

This is going to blow your mind but... there are games other than Pokémon.

"Why do you prefer emulation when you have original hardware and games?" I have my reasons. www.youtube.com/shorts/7Khqs... #retro #retrogaming #gaming #nintendo

I hit watch hours before subs required for monetization. Guess it's time to grind out shorts.

I've been approved for YouTube's partial partnership. I'll have Members and Supers available soon. Once that happens I'll start planning some streams so you'll all have a place to use your new emotes.

I beat 100 games this year and I didn't really try that hard. I'm not going to try for more next year but I am going to journal it. Here is my journal so far, it's empty now but the next year hasn't started yet.

Timesplitters Rewind is cool but the connections are not ready. Even a 50ms ping is resulting in teleporting.

I think I need more stills, but it'll have to wait until I pay off that Switch 2 debt.

I've been enjoying making videos without using my vtubing models. It makes making videos so much faster and easier and I adlib a lot more which makes it feel more natural. It's more enjoyable in general.

I can see why parasite eve didn't get modern games despite being a good game. It's whole combat system is a symptom of the time it was made in. Anything modern wouldn't feel good being played like the first.

I will accidentally be having a Christmas video. Playing Parasite Eve for the first time and it turns out it's a Christmas game.

Been playing the Pokémon Lazarus romhack and it's not bad. It's pretty ambitious to ground up make a new pokemon game, but that's what it is. I dont care for the dark color palette though, doesn't agree with gba lcd shaders and I imagine real gba systems.

The next Ratchet game (phones womp womp) adds a lot of Lombaxes. More than we've seen in the series up to this point. They're so cute!

New Pokemon romhack came out today and people are complaining about queer representation in it. I remember when She Ra got its queer makeover and people said we should make our own media instead of queering straight media. Now we make our own stuff and people complain it exists. Cry about it.

Emulating on my pc, playing on my crt. Playing Destroy All Humans.

I need a MAME professional, how do you all do this junk? Getting carnevil to run has been harder than deciphering the Zodiac's letters.

Anyone know why a rom might fail to run on original hardware? Sonic Chronicles crashes during tutorial and I don't want to use the original cart.

After finding out the RG DS wasn't going to run melonDS, I thought "If I won't be able to use retroachievements because the RG DS is too weak, may as well resurrect my dsi." New battery, freshly modded, playing Meteos.

There is always going to be someone who rather have their system modded to play everything over being given a handheld that can play everything. Two of them live with me and I have too many handhelds and that number isn't going down anytime soon.

Thinking about getting a low poly 3d model, then bit crushing my voice a bit for videos. I think it could really make me stand out.

Back by popular demand, me. People on YouTube voted and wanted me to return. I don't blame them, the mole was cute but who can resist my charm, wit, cuteness, and wit? The videos won't change, just the model and names.

This case hasn't helped with pains in my palms from using the switch 2. The issue isn't the back of the joycon it's the bottom corners. They stab the hand, they need to taper downwards like the steam deck. Joycon 2 are bad because they're too big.

At least it's ergonomic now... and came with a stand.

Going to start accepting my hipster-ness. I've ordered a wardrobe full of different color flannel. I'm also replacing my all soda diet with french pressed coffee.

American 3ds prices are so high now that it's cheaper to get one from japan. Hacking can get rid of region lock too.

Got a case for my Switch 2, I want to play stuff & I'm tired of playing docked. I'm also tired of it destroying my palm in handheld mode. So I got a skin, so I want to take a moment to highlight how Switch 2 cases are gendered. You have black cases for boys, or this for girls. I got the "girls" one.

Less than 100 games physical that I want to beat or try. So maybe more along the lines of 5 years to beat my backlog.

I decided to finally put my backlog in list form instead of just doing whatever. I just finished my steam list and it's 281 games but not all of them are 100% ones I'm going to beat. Many of them are more just trying them out and seeing if I want to bother beating them. Working on phys games next.

With my pc debt almost handled I can start planning the cool things I want to do. I want to build a tabletop arcade that plays retro games. Not even fighting games, like an arcade machine that plays pokemon.

Every so often I'll get a tabletop roleplaying game and I want to talk about it. But it doesn't work for any of the channels I have so womp womp. Besides being a ttrpg youtuber probably sucks, imagine not being able to make a video without forcing D&D into the title. Anyway, Fabula Ultima is neat.

I'm in the top 15% of retroachievements on hardcore mode now. I haven't finished Up Your Arsenal 100% yet. Mostly just doing a handful of clean up achievements a day. Stuff like skill points, trophies, and titanium bolts. The boring stuff, just 44 to go! Once I'm done with that it's cleanup on 2.

I've never ordered from ayaneo before. I hope nothing horrible goes wrong or maybe I do. Whichever makes for a better video.

Today a viewer said I'm on the level of "Scott The Woz". That's a huge compliment. It's one of those compliments that if I told someone else that someone said that about me they wouldn't believe it.

Was going to stay up and preorder the ayaneo PAM as soon as it became available. But I don't understand timezones as well as I thought I did. I thought CST was 2 hours behind EST. Then I checked and some places said it's 1 hour behind, now my time is apparently the same as est. Tempted to go to bed.
