Make sure the kids asleep as this is a bit provocative. We modified a 3D printer into an insertion tester and ran a Ninten-Drawer through 10,000 cycles without issue (thats a game a day for 27 years). You'll want the sound on for this. Credit to @krikit for video edit

@St1ka Sir, this is Chrono Trigger. Many fans consider it perfect. Any critique is going to be hot.

@BlueShell3D Most of the Chrono Trigger drama I've seen wasn't even about hot takes though They were pretty mild imo

It's crazy how the mildest Chrono Trigger takes make its fans froth with rage

Nats@natisneato

chrono trigger is an extremely good game but man the fans just go insane when you criticize any element of it or imply it's only about as good as a lot of other good rpgs

PC build spec sheet and checklist from 1998. That level of attention to detail needs to be renormalized.

Not retro but I found this Xbox One S in the trash pile at a local shop and decided to give it another life Wouldn't boot but powered on, figured it out was dead HDD. Had spare SSD on hand but also while tearing it down I discovered I had my hands full on cleaning 😬 1/4

Just learnt the hard way that the PS5 doesn't play PS4 games. And Sony's saying they want to increase the price for this thing? Gimme a break 😅

@NES_Professor I love mine. I have an RGB PPU in it pushing out component video. Gotta love how it puts the cart on full display too.

@Lord_Wompus @InsaneMegaCD It’s pretty small, especially compared to the NES. Not too much detail possible with less than 500 pieces.

LEGO is cool...I dig my Game Boy LEGO kit and I'm a huge Genesis fan, but....this looks like crap. 🤷 Did they use a Chinese knock off for reference?

@RetroJeff83 @usa_retro Goodwill is also full of Funko Pops AND they have a better game selection

English

Jeff’s Retro Gaming@RetroJeff83·2d

@BlueShell3D @usa_retro Yeah the stores around here are a joke. 90% funko pops and collectibles and the retro section is awful. Only time I recently tried was to grab my daughter a copy of RE9 and none of them had it so bought on Amazon

If this goes through, the fees to sell on ebay will double.

@RetroJeff83 @usa_retro I think they must be pulling in from the website. I haven’t bought something at a GameStop in years, but I’ve preordered consoles and whatnot on the web.

English

Jeff’s Retro Gaming@RetroJeff83·2d

@usa_retro eBay has its issues but I still use it all the time Would absolutely become rubbish under GameStop I don’t even know how they have the funds honestly aren’t they always on the verge of bankruptcy? Last few times I visited the stores were AWFUL
