rambling re last toot 

pro PS2: I have a new eyetoy and a second controller now, also all the games are on a hdd so at least that's not horrible
con: the eyetoy games arent that great

pro n64: I haven't finished Resident Evil 2 and could maybe get my brother into it and I wanted to show my dad Pokemon Stadium's Gameboy emulator
con n64: I'd probably have to decide which carts to take and my controllers both have crappy sticks

winner: PS2, thanks for playing

ugh I wanna take both my PS2 and my N64 to my parents' but considering all the peripherals, the game carts, the hard drive and of course the systems themselves one is already pushing it

someone build me a smartphone with a lil VU meter

If your IT department has a locker where network interface cards are kept then that's a nic cage send toot

Combining magnets and lasers and shiny discs is cool imo

Kinda sad that there's no mainstream magneto-optical medium anymore (correct me if I'm wrong)

@tom So since MMC seems to be a dying format, how about that minidisc release?

shoutout to ImgBurn for being able to (slowly) rip a cracked PS2 game (just the inner part so the data layer is fine)

oooooh the PDA just displayed a splashscreen of sorts, but turned off again

I also picked up this lovely but probably dead HTC One (no battery), a Windows Mobile Smartphone? PDA? with a worrying battery which for now only lights up in various colors and some Apple remotes because why not

Show thread

also shit that doesn't power over USB should have barrel plugs and the voltage, amperage and polarity written on the device

Show thread

modern mobile devices should have dials and knobs and stuff
