My wife bought me the Taito Edition Super Pocket for my birthday and it’s a lovely little handheld. It has 17 pre-installed games and takes Evercade cartridges.

It literally fits in my pocket and will be great for travelling when I don’t have room for a giant modern handheld!

The same console as the previous image. It is at the game select menu and Puzzle Bobble is selected.
The rear of the console. It is entirely turquoise with black shoulder and volume buttons. It has a Blaze blanking plate where the Evercade carts go and SUPER POCKET is embossed below.

Playing Roboquest at the moment with a friend on PC. It’s a fast-paced, cel-shaded co-op roguelite FPS. Took a while to get its hooks into me but really enjoying it now. There are multiple classes and each run is unique as you get offered different weapons and perks as you go through your run.

There are also new abilities that stay between runs, which means you get further and further as you play, through a combination of learning the enemies & terrain but also with better gear.

Next Wednesday musical hashtag!

It's @miona's VGM Wednesday.

Last week reminded me of some of the classic @ocremix tracks I used to listen to.

Here is Estradasphere's big band inspire remake of Super Mario Brothers 2's overworld music entitled, "Super Buck II." https://ocremix.org/remix/OCR00577

Check it out!

@mdmrn I did not expect to find another ‘Sphere fan on Fedi!

@mdmrn they were incredible. It’s Understood, Buck Fever (where Super Buck II is from) and Quadropus are all outstanding albums. Their ability to move between genres fluidly and effortlessly (often within the same song) sets them apart from the rest of the avante garde crowd imo. And they just had the chops to do it too.

21st century “semi-retro” nook coming along. Put up a shelf today which currently has the #WiiU on it along with a #NintendoSwitch dock below. Plan is to get a #PS2, #PS3 and #GameCube to go with it.

Need to do a better job of tidying cables too, but that’s for another day. #ShareYourGames #MstdnGames

A poorly lit shelf with a black Wii U Premium 32GB. A matching black game pad is in its dock in front. There is a matte silver USB adapter poking out of the front of the Wii U with a microSD card inserted for additional storage.
Another poorly lit shot. It shows a hidden shelf behind the TV with enough space for a PS2 slimline, a PS3 super slim and a GameCube (Maybe! Hopefully!) The Wii U from the previous shot is at the far end. There is a Switch dock and Wii U power adapter below, but it’s so dark it’s hard to make out.

I'm interested to know. Did anyone else with not realise til after they were diagnosed that they never feel a sense of accomplishment?

I never understood at all why my partner takes photos of DIY projects or stands for ages admiring a flowerbed he's just dug, etc. I guess this also explains why I was rubbish at adding entries to our team blog at my old job. Like, I did the work, it's done. What more needs to be said?

@ametonym I’m the total opposite. Because it takes Herculean effort to actually finish anything, I am inordinately proud of anything I complete!

It’s my Birthday on Monday and it doesn’t feel like it used to. I’m sads.

Usually, I’m planning something fun, somewhere to go or somewhere new to eat.

This year? Ugh. I think maybe I’m finally old enough to hate birthdays.

Either that or tired of missing out on life because I’m always ill.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

@britt that’s a shame, but I’m right there with you. Sometime over the last 5 years it happened to me. Sadly the same happens at Christmas too. 😞

Very specific right now as it’s only the Steam release in Japan that is being delisted. But it might be a sign of things to come due to the licence expiring.

So if you want this game digitally, I would wait too long to pick it up.

@OutofPrintArchive I have the Switch physical version, thankfully! It’s sad that these classic arcade games will be lost to future gamers.

@matt@mstdn.games avatar

@OutofPrintArchive I was very happy to pick up Outrun 2006 for the PSP in CeX the other day, considering Sega lost the Ferrari license years ago.

@OutofPrintArchive @KennyPark I am very tempted to buy a launch PS3 while they're still available on eBay for £200 or so. Contains the PS2 hardware and natively plays PS1 games. I don't have room for 5 different PlayStations :D

It's disappointing that while Xbox 360s play 400 Xbox games, the XBO and Series consoles only play about 40 of them.

matt,
@matt@mstdn.games avatar

@OutofPrintArchive the PS3 was pretty shaky at launch. Online play wasn’t very good, the 360 handled multiplatform better and the exclusives were disappointing.

However sometime around 2010-2011 I got fed up with the 360 adboard (I mean dashboard) and took a punt on the PS3 and was impressed with how they turned things around. Then the XBO licensing physical disc furore was enough that I’ve never been back to the green side since. @KennyPark

@matt@mstdn.games avatar

@OutofPrintArchive yeah this is the problem. A refurbished one will be £500 I bet 😂@KennyPark

How my wife closes the curtains v how I close the curtains. Please tell me I am doing it right. The alternative upsets me so much!

Closed curtains above a purple sofa with teal cushions. They are tucked behind the radiator, straight and there are no gaps.

I love being scheduled for my MRI scans in the middle of the night. Love it. Love. It.

/s

Tonight I go for a routine MRI to monitor whether or not I’m developing full blown MS.

Having to put my head in loud machine for an hour? 😬 I hate everything about it. Bleh.

@britt boo. Hopefully it’s as stress-free as it can possibly be. x

Something occurred to me earlier, and it’s twisted my melon, but in a good way.

I was diagnosed with in 2019, and have been on medication since. I have a huge problem with imposter syndrome, that somehow I tricked a professional into giving me speed. It’s not as bad as it used to be, but there are still some things that eat away at me a little.

@DJDarren we were playing life on Nightmare difficulty before. We are just levelling the playing field somewhat now, because society (and the world in general) is set up for us to fail.
