I got an old DSi with a few game cartridges on fbmp! Super excited because it had a real version of Pokémon black with it which is going to make transporting old my Pokémon over to bank/ home so much easier. $50 with charger and I'm so pleased :D

i got the following:

1) on jan 23rd:

got it & finished it in 3 weeks lol & that without having the DLC pass pack, (probaly won't be buying the pass).

2) on march 4th:

recenlty i bought this {double pack of greatness} for 104 euros from my local game's store.
octopath II is fun, but i'm mainly playing non stop Metroid prime 1, it's so freaking amazing why? :

- opening it and playing it on switch lite is like it was on the gc, it's so easy to play, control etc.
- instant nostalga of the GC version (back when i first got it in 03).
lol, it's been 20 years since Nintendo's GC era of gaming, but playing this again felt like i was 14 & on my little purple GC system with this same game.
- playing it via the GC controls is perfect (minus the little hickus of the scannin issue which sometimes loses the scan page}.
but this game is the perfect example of a GC remaster for switch done right,
but i wonder why on the box there is nowere a menchion of {retrostudios} on it?
- tho i can still play my orginal gc version via inject on my Wii U, but on switch since it is portable, it's way better IMO.
- i hope to see MP 2 & MP3 also does this way as MP1 for switch. :) .
nintendo can do it for all GC games for switch if they so choose (the right way i mean).

the wrong way is how Bandai namco did Tales of symphonia remastered for switch with it's issues,
hopefully they can patch fix them minus the 30 FPS) that cannot be moved to 60 FPS.

I wonder if nintendo will decide to bring zelda WW & TP to the switch in remaster forms like how they shadow dropped MP 1? that would be cool if they decide to do so. (i hope) they do so someday.

Remute released a new album and, of course, it's on some dead format so I also had to buy a cassette player to actually listen to it.

I am quite impressed by the little thing. It's a midrange Sony Walkman WM-EX404 released in '99, that was nothing special even when it released, but it has a nice and clean sound and works just fine. Unlike "newer" models this POS still has all the controls on the box itself instead of having been moved to a proprietary remote that's missing / broken, and it takes regular AA batteries instead of those shitty gum bar batteries.
I am also greatly impressed at the analog Dolby Noise Reduction and bass options, both work great and without any clipping / artifacts that I can hear. Which is a big step up from the extremely cheap cassette players that were sold in east Germany and my family owned.

Bought a handheld vacuum cleaner relatively cheap from a Chinese brand called "HoLife," it's not really too powerful in terms of sunction, but it does the job.

Will also be buying two extra CCTV cameras from AliExpress today or tomorrow as they're on offer and want to know who ring the bells (the current ones are facing a pathway and the car so not too helpful in that regard).

    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
