It’s actually kind of a drawback sometimes. Super Metroid for instance is pretty awkward to play since it’s hard to hold B and press Y at the same time 😅
I have a decade old Buffalo famicom-style controller with ABXY just like in your photo, although mine is wired. I’ve opened it and adjusted the Dpad by partially covering the contacts with tape, and I swear it’s the best Dpad I’ve ever used. I’ve also got an 8bitdo FC30 Pro but I rarely use it nowadays.
I think my first raspberry pi got to 500-ish days before we had a power outage
I haven’t played my GameCube since it was current, but recently I installed the picoboot mod which lets me load games off of a microSD card. Haven’t actually sat down to play anything yet but I’ve booted Baten Kaitos and Tales of Symphonia just to confirm that it works 😎
Just wanted to say thanks for showing me Preserving Worlds. It’s so, so good and I’m in the same seat as you now, considering buying the second season.
Slay the Spire is crazy fun. And literally infinitely replayable
God, I love the bizarre atmosphere in these long-dead virtual worlds. I’ll definitely check out more of his videos.
Keeping Lithium-ion batteries at 100% charge will reduce their lifespan. They want to live in the 40-80% range. I use an app that notifies me when my phone has charged to 80%, so that I can unplug it. It may be overkill, but I plan to use this phone for 9 more years or so.
How is Omega Strikers? I’ve had my eyes on it but it’s not really my friends’ type of game. I might play it on my own because I think it looks really cool.
Team Fortress 2! We queue Casual and just laugh at funny ragdolls, cosmetics, and the bizarre fever dream interactions that can only happen in TF2 😅
The graphics blow Kirby’s Adventure out of the water!
And it doesn’t seem to have much (if any) slowdown. Impressive!
Mother 1 is my favorite, it’s got such a unique atmosphere. Some of my more recent favorites include the Valis series (bishoujo action platformers), and Monster World IV (action platformer with light RPG elements). I’m big on aesthetics and those games really appealed to me!
The pads look intact, which makes it a much easier repair than it could have been.
No reason to update, really. Afaik they haven’t added any features of bugfixes for years. You can get rid of the annoying system update popups by deleting pending titles in FBI and disabling Wi-fi.
The original Etrian Odyssey on DS! The modern remakes just came out, but I don’t agree with the price tag. I’m almost through the 3rd stratum and I’m having a blast.

They’re both pretty basic but honestly upon switching I realized how many superfluous features I didn’t use in my old apps.
Best of luck to them. I did not dislike Balan Wonderworld, but it was obvious that it wasn’t finished. It became popular to hate on it but not everything about the game was as awful as people made it out to be.
You should start using them up! It doesn’t matter who learns what, but spells are useful and it’s nice to get started with them. The eggs are a finite resource. However there’s enough of them that you’ll still have leftovers after learning every element on every character. I usually make sure I collect every item before moving on to the next area.
I replay Grandia every few years. It was one of the first games I bought with my own money, and still to this day it’s one of my favorites.
I’ve heard people consider the beginning of the game the weakest part, though I have sort of a soft spot for it.
Regarding the graphics, it was originally a Sega Saturn game, and was later ported to PS1. Maybe that’s why it looks so unique.
