Thanks man! I definitely to your advice, and have been reducing a good bit further than I used to and it has work out great!
The fades aren’t super tedious, they just take a good bit longer to make. Definitely worth making a few if you have the patience! It’s extremely rewarding when they come out nice

Nylon is definitely a little tricky at first, but super nice once you get a formula figured out!

I’ll scoop some up next time I buy thread lol. I just don’t have any yo-yos that would look good with green string. But I guess I should fix that

I was able to get my toddler sufficiently distracted by Paw Patrol to cook dinner in peace for once. Ate three burger patties right in front of the stove, like an animal. Now I get to make sure he eats while we wait for our Matriarch to return.

I’ve gotten a lot of stuff done over the weekend. Feels good to do this whole ‘adulting’ thing once in awhile! lol
Bills taken care of, important phone calls made, appointments set up, applications filled out, a super cool cover letter typed up I’m really proud about…my driver’s license just expired and am waiting for my local dmv to open here shortly so I can call to set up an appointment…went shopping yesterday and actually came home with stuff other than junk food and toys! haha…laundry detergent (tide pods FTW), trash bags, some new pots.
I like feeling on top of things.
…Also, I really miss my mom! She was the backbone in my life. She did SO much for me. She was always making my phone calls for me, setting up appointments and keeping track of when they were, taking me shopping, helping me to pay my bills.
Love you mom! You meant so much to me!! <3

Did this last night
Swapped the shell from baby blue to translucent black. Fun little project, I didn’t break anything! Haha

I would be way to scared to do this to my beloved SP. Nice work though, looks good!
Is that FireRed I see in there?

It’s a pretty straightforward process tbh. If you have the tenacity to learn medium/advanced yoyo tricks, this should be a cake walk. Shell was only $12 and it came with the appropriate size drivers.
And it is Pkmn Ruby!

Way to go. Keep it up @twitch77! It feels good to be on top of yo game!

I should have known, I’ve played through Ruby at least 5 times! As much as I loved the original games, Ruby was by far my my fave.

I never had a GB when I was a kid (well, not for longer than like a month. I broke it and never got another one). So now I have one when I’m 28! Haha, it’s pretty neat.

I did the same from a Flame Red AGS-101, but I put mine into a SpongeBob shell 
lol.
I amassed a number of GameBoys, all models, a few years ago and cleaned/restored them. I sold most, but I kept one of each model and a janky GameBoy Macro I made.
My white whale Pikachu Edition GBC that I had in 5th grade still eludes me. I want one with a backlight and charging mod, but I don’t think it’ll ever happen. Sad now.

The gameboy advance blew my mind! I remember having a game magazine that had images of what some of the games were going to look like when the system released and I was so super hyped.
And I loved it! It was as amazing as I’d hoped!!
Then the sp came out and I got it the day it came out. What a game changer! The lighted screen changed everything. Lord only knows how many hundreds of hours I put into that thing!
Sometimes I think of tracking another down and buying a bunch of games or it…but I have a ps vita that I use for emulations that I love.

Nice! I do want a Vita for emulation as well, but original hardware is also pretty nice. All the nostalgia as well. One of my 3DS XL’s is modded to allow for sideloading of Virtual Console games, and other owned intellectual property. It’s going pretty well so far!

Man…the vita. Holy heck I got a good deal on it!
I’m part of a local facebook group where people list things for sale and a guy said he had a used vita he’d like to sale with some games…but no charging cable. He was only asking for $75.
I took a gamble on it expecting it to be all beat up and scratched with a crappy game or 2.
Hell no! It was in absolute perfect condition! Super clean…and he gave me 8 freaking games with it! And they were decent ones too like need for speed, mortal kombat vs DC, assasin’s creed and some others.
And to top things off, when I got home and checked…it had a 32gb memory stick in it which alone goes for around $60+.
One of the best deals I’ve ever gotten.
In retrospect, I wonder if the dude was selling me a stolen vita :(.

Yeah it’s a moral slippery slope to think about that kind of thing to be honest. In the future, you can check with the poe-leece to see if it’s been reported. If not, I think you’re in the clear, both legally and morally. Depending on how long it’s been now, it may not be worth your time.
