The Super Gameboy Commander controller from Hori let's you control features on the Super Gameboy that you can't access any other way.
Such as slowing down the game speed!
To accomplish this, when set to SGB mode it sends a special input macro within 25ms. Only possible with this gamepad.

I like that my brain went to exactly the same place as it did almost 2.5 years ago. bsky.app/profile/kerr...

Every crafter knows yarn chicken.

So I built 15 free calculators to take the guesswork out of knitting & crochet.

Why do old computers look more futuristic than the ones from their actual future?

Not to drag this out anymore, but just to be clear: the problem with numbered console generations is that they're not *useful*. The numberings aren't descriptive, and the groupings are arbitrary and US-centric. That's why people who study game history don't use them

A lot of people don’t know this but any time a game had β€œ64” in the title it’s because it takes place in 1964

Can we also talk about Triple Triad cards?

I haven't seen the word "Xanga" in a hundred million years and just had to stare into space for a few seconds. (I had one too.)

Game After: A Cultural Study of Video Game Afterlife

I've been seeing a lot about how the original Switch is "over" now that the 2 is out, so this seems like a good time to point out that Raiford Guins's Game After: A Cultural Study of Video Game Afterlife is available through open access: direct.mit.edu/books/oa-mon...

I really just had to adjust a line about how comment sections were saying the Switch was dead before its predecessor had been announced, "a fact that was still true as recently as last week." But I also made sure to say "thanks for the last-minute curveball, Nintendo." πŸ˜…

Me when Nintendo announced the Switch 2 eight days before I presented my hardware modding research at MAGFest.

JN-100 Sewing Machine by Jaguar

While the rest of the world got the Singer IZEK 1500 Game Boy Sewing Machine, the original model was the JN-100 and was exclusive to Japan. As you can see, the JN-100 came in a variety of color, including this skeleton pink.

I still do the SMRPG timed hit inputs out of habit no matter what the game is, even if it doesn't have the mechanic. It's too deeply ingrained in my muscle memory. I can't stop.

soldier captain we are the red wings the pride is displayed on the screen Alt: A screenshot from the opening cutscene of Final Fantasy IV. A soldier NPC tells Cecil "Captain, we are the Red Wings, the pride of Baron! Must we be thieves sent to plunder the weak?" This is the PSX English translation. The SNES translation said something like "Looting is out of the question!"

Technically the SNES version and not this, the PSX translation, but the PSX FF Chronicles two-disc set contained the first edition that I actually owned for myself.

Many ask if I still build my BX-250 Virtual Boy joystick, but I stopped years ago

Good news! @jparish.bsky.social is selling his serial #2 BX-250 on eBay. A rare treasure hand built by me in 2019

It’s the world’s first third-party Virtual Boy controller!
