Been updating and modernizing my Magnetic “one cable type” household. 😮‍💨🕶🤓  
All the best charge and data transfer speeds on my devices now. 🥰  
The 360° swivel head is so nice with my SteamDeck and switch while I’m playing in bed.  
Works for apple CarPlay and Andriod Auto as well. 😚

Swapping charger ports on Nintendo handhelds, PSP/Vita, and any other Mini-B devices (PS3 controllers, etc) with USB-C is the next step towards my one magnetic cable goal. 🦾

Still have this PS Vita Slim FFX|X-2 edition. CFW  
and a 512gb Sandisk Extreme Pro in a SD2Vita adapter game cart. I wanna get a 1TB and fill it with even more Vita PSP PS1 games. Lol

Welp for no apparent reason my SteamDeck has bit it. Only a chime when power button is pressed. So it’ll most likely be replaced RMA by Valve. 🫠 I’ll keep y’all posted on the experience in case it happens to anyone else.

As I recall (from the late 80s), as long as you reset the game before the ball stops, you get endless do-overs. . .

I’m playing it on a console with save states so I don’t even need the original game to have that _ahem_ feature.

Well that was surprisingly fast and painless so far.

I had a long flight and decided to try Mario Golf for GBC. It was surprisingly fun. I originally moved to it because it holds your hand a little more, but apparently when you create your own golfer, there’s a full overworld map and XP based leveling system to improve your stats. Very cool.

Yes I did! Got it about a 5 days after I sent it in,  
brand new one in box same as I originally had.

What started out as simply replacing an Elite Series 1 thumb stick (rubber got old and blew out just sitting on my nightstand 😳) and ordering a gold series 2 set by mistake ended up with me going all in and buying an Elite Series 2 controller. 😁🤩

I picked up the Miyoo Mini Plus a few weeks ago and have been having a blast with it!

Finished a playthrough of Pokemon Gold, beating people up in Tekken3, flying tanookis in Super Mario Bros. 3 and now I’m into disc2 of Final Fantasy 8.

Of course, there’s been some good puzzling with Tetris and Dr. Mario, too!
