Been learning manual settings on my Sony ZV-E10 II after a month of sticking to auto. Didn’t think I could pull it off, but wow—the difference is night and day. Here’s a frame from tonight’s project that blew me away.

I'm unboxing and setting some of the goofiest emulation handhelds I've ever seen.... youtube.com/live/dE2OtuS... #retrohandhelds #emulationhandhelds #gamemt #e5plus #jellymini5

Busy week in the handheld scene — both muOS and Knulli dropped big CFW updates. - muOS adds RG34XX SP + TrimUI support, hotkey/kiosk tweaks (latest Goose at muos.dev). - Knulli brings perf + QoL fixes to Anbernic H700 devices. Plenty to dig into! #handheldgaming #anbernic #trimui #trimuismart

Working on what might be my most comprehensive video yet. I’ve also been upgrading my home studio — please excuse the current chaos! It definitely looks better when I’m not knee-deep in a project. Sharing a little behind-the-scenes shot today. Hope you’re all having a good one!

Clamshell wars! #AYANEOPocketDS vs #AYNThor. I'm going with the Pocket DS! The bigger screen is a huge plus for travel, and the deeper early bird discount made it an easy choice. #AYANEO #AYN #PocketDS #AYNThor #gaming

Attempting to fix a broken #GameBoyColor. Come and help me figure this out live on YouTube right now! youtube.com/live/yqZlMq2...

New video’s up! 🎥 I reviewed the Powkiddy V90S — the cheapest clamshell handheld you can buy. But is it actually worth it? After months of testing, here’s why I can’t recommend it without some tinkering. 👉 Watch here: youtu.be/3iOvNNwkWEY

New hands-on review is up on Patreon: Powkiddy V90S 🎮 It’s the cheapest clamshell you can buy—but does that make it worth it? I break down the strengths, flaws, and why I can’t recommend it (without custom firmware). Patreon (free!) link is up, video coming out soon! www.patreon.com/posts/powkid...

I like the #Powkiddy #V90S for what it is but I can't recommend it even if it is the cheapest emulation clamshell made in 2025. I'm hoping to get the video out by Sunday, so watch this space if you're interested. TL;DR: just get the #Anbernic #RG35XXSP.

Let's try this again! I'm installing an AMODEL touch screen on my Game Boy Color live on YouTube right now! Plus I'll be showcasing some other nerdy things that I've been doing lately so come say hello if you're into it. youtube.com/live/o4r4EPy... #gameboy #gameboycolor #gameboyadvance #gameboymod

I haven't played #WorldofWarcraft in nearly two years. I saw a deep discount on the recent expansion, which includes a month of game time, so I thought I'd give it a try. I know I'm going to be disappointed again, but hopefully, I'll have fun while going through the motions.

This was the first mod I’ve ever done to a retro console, and it was way more fun than I anticipated! The #GameBoyAdvance is a system I missed out on when it was popular, and now that I can actually see what’s happening on the screen, I might finally get a feel for what it was like back in the day.

wait is this the real deal?!?! #SquareEnix

The #NintendoSwitch2 is gorgeous.

Traveling to Melbourne with the #RetroidPocketClassic this weekend. So far, I'm impressed! All I had to do was put my SD Card in which has all my #EmulationStation and #RetroArch configs on it and, that's it!

Just published an interview with Kenn @pineboxgames.bsky.social, the dev behind Future Ghost—a retro comic-inspired point-and-click adventure game. We talked about scanning old comics for the game, retro gaming, and everything in between! #IndieDev #GameDesign #IndieGames #FutureGhost #RetroGames

I feel personally attacked.... #retrogames

Xbox has been playing 4D chess with Sony this whole time....

I think I'm finally starting to understand why so many people love #Pokemon games. I've tried many times to get into it but lately, Pokemon Scarlet got me hooked! Sure the game's performance is ass, but imagine when the Switch 2 drops! It's gonna be dope.

Just interviewed Kenn @pineboxgames.bsky.social, a high school teacher making Future Ghost—a 2D game inspired by Gabriel Knight, Astro Boy & old comics. It’s turn-based, story-rich, and has serious retro vibes. Full write-up on my Patreon. #GameDev #IndieGames #IndieDev #RetroGames

I'm super excited to announce that I'll be chatting with Kenn @pineboxgames.bsky.social soon about his work developing 'Future Ghost'. It's a blend of 2D point & click adventure and JRPG. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll be sure to ask him during our chat! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 took over my life in the best way. A stunning, emotional story about life, death, and grief—with a soundtrack and world that blew me away. Wrote about it here: www.sktalksgames.com/2025/04/coun... #ClairObscur #Expedition33

I finished Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 a couple of hours ago. It's been a while since I got so immersed in a game like this. There are still parts of the story that I'm confused about, but overall this was an easy 10/10 experience for. I highly recommend it.

FYI Clair Obscure: Expedition 33 is my entire personality now. #sorrynotsorry

So, any #discord alternatives?

I just finished South of Midnight and wrote about how it surprised me. Underneath the folklore and monsters is a story about trauma—especially childhood trauma. Combat is not perfect, but the story really stuck with me. Read the blog here: www.sktalksgames.com/2025/04/sout... #SouthOfMidnight

What is #oblivion and why are you all yelling about it?

Was eyeing the Retroid Flip 2 for portable gaming but the price + QC worries held me back. Then I thought—wait, I have a 3DS. After homebrewing it, I’ve been blown away by how much fun it still is. Super portable, packed with games, and just... reliable. #3DS #3DShomebrew #Retroidflip2 #Retroid
