Got asked after the Gashapon post whether that thing actually works as a controller. It doesn't. Real Nintendo parts, zero function.
Turns out there's an actual solution for this. The IINE Gamebrick Mini. Fully functional Bluetooth controller, Famicom style.

Old OnePlus Nord. New job: /e/OS test bench.
Pixel spoiled me. This will hurt a bit.
/e/OS just hit version 4.0. Looks promising. Skipping the Murena Workspace fluff though, /e/OS itself is the point.

Dusty Game Society May game: King of Dragon Pass. PC CD-ROM from 1999. Clan management, diplomacy, magic, and random events that punish every decision. Perfect.

Moving away from streaming only means physical media. Being a millennial, of course it's vinyl.
Needed a new turntable. With remote. Obviously.

M365 subscription expired today. Had it since it launched. Didn't renew.
OneDrive is not happy about it.
Feels fine.

Already wrote about the GB Operator. Great device. Now Epilogue is doing the SN Operator. Available for pre-order, ships end of July. Can't wait.

Been reading about eXoDOS for a while. Finally took the time to set it up. Pretty painless. Now lives on the NAS. Works fine under Linux too.
You have died of dysentery.

Xteink X4 ebook reader. Tiny thing. Finally got around to loading epubs. CFW CrossPoint was dead easy to install and blows the stock OS out of the water.
Small enough to stick to the back of a phone with MagSafe. Declaration of war on doomscrolling.

Last fidget toy broke. Stress levels unacceptable. Replacement came from a Gashapon. Priorities intact.

Since switching to Qobuz, offline music organization has become a thing again. Brutal time sink. Tags have to be perfect, of course.

Installed the Game Boy Pocket Famitsu shell kit. Everything else kept original. Old enough to not need a power LED.

Swapped the BlueRetro N64 receiver for an 8BitDo. Should work better with my 8BitDo N64 mod kit. Curious if the built-in memory pak is more reliable. Firmware update required first.

Dusty Game Society April games: Animal Forest for N64 and as an April Fools joke Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde for NES.
Animal Forest was a disaster. Somehow ended up preferring Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Nextcloud update after a few months. CalDAV works great. Shared calendars, shared task lists, recurring events. Other providers seemed to struggle with this.
On Android synced via DAVx5 to Etar and Tasks.org.

Picked up Star Wars Episode I Racer for N64. Wrote about it in my May the 4th post. Pure nostalgia, but realized I didn't actually own it. Had to fix that.
Not a big collector. But some things just need to be on the shelf.

Switched from OneDrive to Nextcloud a few months ago.
Still don't fully trust the automatic photo upload. Probably unfounded. Running regular comparisons before pulling the plug on OneDrive for good.

Got a new car. Felt like unboxing a smartphone. Register account, install apps, configure settings. Easy. Done in a few hours.
Took me a while to figure out how to start it.

Spent the evening tinkering with this site. Sidebar, tag cloud, tag filter, security bits. Enjoyed every minute of it.
This is what the web should feel like.

Switching from Pixel Watch to Ollee Watch mod. F-91W now with smart features. Best of both worlds.

Episode 1 Racer on N64. Pure nostalgia. Jedi Survivor: favorite modern Star Wars game. So many great Star Wars games.
Time to rewatch the movies.

Today is Digital Independence Day.
Cut ties if you can. Still working on it. di.day.

Switched to CachyOS on my laptop. Tried Pop!_OS first, too buggy. Wanted a non-Ubuntu base.
Digital independence in progress.

GammaOS Next just dropped for the PAM. Nano mode with Quick Resume looks interesting. Boot right into the game. OG feeling.

Replaced black N64 with a golden one. It's so shiny. Also: Still works with my SummerCart.

Trying to get rid of Spotify for ethical reasons. Moving to Qobuz. Recommended by a friend who knows his music. Qobuz even offers a transfer service.
For podcasts, I moved to AntennaPod. Had all the podcasts I'm listening to.

ZSNES and Snes9x in the late 90s. 10 FPS on my potato Pentium 133. Now: SUPER ZSNES, GPU-powered. Preview.
Nostalgia hit. Let's see what they cook up.

Recently bought the GB Operator from Epilogue. External cart reader for PC. Supports GB, GBC and GBA. Runs its own software. Loads, writes and backs up ROMs and saves.
Also: USB-C connection for phones to detect fake cartridges, not for gameplay. Firmware update required.

Found this cool website hoster via TechDweeb Discord. Testing the microblogging waters now. No real plan, just random thoughts, mostly tech. Might get messy.
