Since in this house we follow the "keep your stuff" school of thought, instead of going crazy trying to find 40+ year-old Nintendo Entertainment System controller controllers in good condition, I restore my own. What’s clear is that they were built to last. #NES #NINTENDO #retrogaming #restoration
My favorite Castlevania games 🦇 The soundtrack of Belmont’s Revenge is absolutely insane, especially considering what the Game Boy was capable of at the time. #Castlevania #BelmontsRevenge #RetroGaming #GameBoy #Chiptune #Konami
10 years since Platinum Games pulled this masterpiece, Star Fox Zero, out of nowhere. A true exclusive that pushed WiiU to its limits and made full use of everything the system could do. Sadly just as underrated as the console itself back then. 🎮✨ #StarFox #WiiU #Nintendo #StarFoxZero
The fact that I got this Philips CRT with under 500 hours of use for 20€ still blows my mind.

Summer '97, you get home from school with A's, and there's a box on the couch. You go crazy with what's inside. The console, my favorite, I still have it. The box got lost over time. Thanks to my best friend, I got another one 🫶🏻 #retrogaming #n64 #nintendo
I used free Twitch API pulls for covers and title info, Gemini models for image recognition, and Cybercore css style framework for look. A lot of filter settings, sort parameters and other customization options, Cyberpunk style instructions, and quotes from the series 🤌🏻✨
I finished the app to track my video game collection! I started because my best friend's excel gave me OCD 😅 and ended up creating a full Cyberpunk-style webapp with music from Edgerunners, image recognition to add games, rating system, game info, mobile specific layouts and other settings.
Finished assembling the LEGO The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time set and it is fantastic 💚💛
Another great controller by 8BitDo. Super solid build quality and ergonomics, working flawlessly on original N64 with BlueRetro adapter #8BitDo #Nintendo64 #N64 #Nintendo
I received the deliciously unnecessary Talking Flower from Super Mario Wonder ♥️ #Nintendo #TalkingFlower #SuperMarioWonder
Cool LEGO stuff has arrived! The set of the final fight in Ocarina of Time! #thelegendofzelda #zelda #ocarinaoftime #lego
There's something magical about bringing back life to things that made me happy in another era. That and the rematch with the fucking dog of the Duck Hunt 🤬 #nes #retrogaming #8bits
I have now collected all #Trails games with these. And I have now added an immense amount of hours to my backlog 😂😱 But it will be worth it.
Testing the new Chitu 2 HD Controller for Switch 2 from Mobapad that they sent me and it is 🔥♥️ #Mobapad #Switch2 #NintendoSwitch2 #Gaming
Got some early birthday gifts from my friends, some of them very suitable for the #retrogamer in me 😏 Already blasted through a run of Lylat Wars in my good ol'N64.
Paladin's solitude ✨ #wow #wowhousing #worldofwarcraft
The bathroom aquarium #wow #wowhousing
The 'accidentally' redesigned area #wow #wowhousing
My girlfriend mocked the lack of a WC in my #WoWHousing bathroom area, so naturally I ruined my sleep routine to install a marble, cushioned, fully functional one for her elf to park. Then I accidentally redesigned the entire room (and added an aquarium). Housing is sick. #wow
For me, one of the main benefits of the existence of things like Steam Machine –and I'll throw in the Switch 2 for the point– is pushing devs back to actually fucking optimize their games rather than expecting people to brute-force everything with an endlessly scaling PC hardware landscape.
I don’t have a strong opinion on grading when it comes to physically preserving a game with value for a collector. However, for me, preserving videogames in a broader sense as a medium necessarily involves ensuring their availability, accessibility, and backward compatibility across generations.
Recently released Amiibos have gone up quite a bit in price over the past couple years, but the quality and detail have also improved a ton. The Metroid Prime 4 Amiibo are a clear example of that — another big step up. #MetroidPrime4 #Amiibo #NintendoSwitch
