I made the gamecube joycons we all wish existed. This isn't concept art, these are real and fully functional.

What are the best couch party games on steam right now? Been having a blast with Ultimate Chicken Horse and Boomerang Fu, and want some more.

Why are we okay with no physical releases on PC, but not on console? I genuinely think discontinuing physical media is a very bad thing, but why is our outlook on it so different between PC and console?

@redherring32 Love the swappable faceplates idea. Wish I thought of that

Any ideas how to make this look slightly more convincingly aged? (This will be FDM printed.)

@ericmigi Love mine. It's a black one that the color has rubbed off on most parts, but it's still holding strong. I'd buy a silver one.

@Arthrimus When I saw that mod I immediately thought "perfect use case for a flex". Glad you are taking it on

The RetroTink 5x A2C flex cable prototypes came in today and it looks like I nailed it first try. I'm waiting for the oscillators to come in before I actually install one, but assuming I got all the wiring correct these should be good to go very quickly. Another huge thanks to @retrotink2 for providing dimensional data. The design processes was way smoother with that information.

Disaster struck. I was distracted and hit a wrong button while updating the IOS. Pretty sure this uninstalled priiloader. So, the mini no longer displays video. Going to need a new motherboard or whole console now. Not looking forward to transplanting those wifi components. I'm pretty sure there isn't a way to unbrick things at this point, but I'll still ask if anyone knows if its salvageable?

This Wii Mini bottom shell is going way too good. Granted, the fitment is still horrible and the screw holes just about gave me carpel tunnel just from installing them because they're too tight. And yet, it assembled almost fully (battery doesn't fit yet).

The darkest part of the FW900 legend is that it relies on impossible-to-source components with high failure rates. Every surviving unit is living on borrowed time.

REMINDER: The Sony GDM-FW900 is the greatest consumer display device ever. It has the absolute best picture quality at resolutions that it supports (1440p natively, 2560 x 1600 when overclocked) with better motion clarity at 60hz than the best OLED gaming monitor at 480hz

@CryptoCyberia Describing running a custom resolution that isn't on the EDID but still within horizontal spec as "overclocking" is so painfully wrong. I have 1 working FW and 2 FWs with dead picture tubes. It's a great monitor, but "greatest ever" is reaching. Lots of great CRTs out there

@lauriewired @shaurizard Poor bitrate is the biggest one for sure, but heavy chroma subsampling and poor upscaling can contribute greatly. I agree though, quality of pixels matters far more than pixel count

@shaurizard oh actually thinking about it...I'm doing 4:4:4 1080p, so that probably helped. when people compare 1080p vs 4k they are usually mentally comparing low-bitrate 1080p 4:2:0 with a much higher bitrate 4k, which isn't quite fair

it's funny how much people care about 4K when the majority of actual movie theaters are barely above 1080p

Honestly, they just asked for a pic and a tag. Instead of just that, I wanted to do a full review to add more nuance and info. I personally find more detailed posts like this more interesting and useful. Thanks for reading

I am working on a new Wii portable, and wanted to experiment with case materials. I was going to order what I wanted from @PCBWayOfficial, but they offered store credit to cover the cost if I make 2 posts tagging them. Here's a thread review of my experience ordering resin prints
