the Mario Galaxy planet off in the distance with a boss waiting on it

Picked up a cheap HDMI adapter for my Xbox to update it to 2026 standards (Cerbios and the likes). That old 2004 style Evolution X dashboard gave me some serious flashbacks :) #retrogaming #xbox #modding

Got a little present from Japan! Thanks @lignum.me !

It's time again. #aceattorney #3ds #nintendo

Gotta catch em all ;) Super Mario Advance (Nintendo, 2001) #gameboy #gba #nintendo #supermario #retro

2 out of 3. There's even a "Cowabunga" voice sample at the beginning! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Back from the Sewers (Konami, 1991) #gameboy #nintendo #retro #tmnt

Yet again there were some games in my mailbox. Probotector (Konami, 1991) and another must have: Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 (Nintendo, 2003) #gameboy #gba #nintendo #retro #supermario

Why does every Nintendo Direct sound like this?

This game is not only bad, it also stutters like hell at a frame rate of about 15 i guess. Still, welcome to the collection "Bart Simpson's Escape from Camp Deadly" (Acclaim, 1991)! #gameboy #nintendo #retro

Got another GBA which got the Funnyplaying treatment. I opted for the laminated ITA kit because i wanted a period appropriate look (it looks bad ^^). Also put the USB-C battery pack mod in there. #gameboy #gba #nintendo #retro #funnyplaying

Of course, this one simply cannot be missing - Mario Kart: Super Circuit (Nintendo, 2001) . #gameboy #gba #nintendo #retro #mariokart

Two new arrivals: Donkey Kong (Nintendo, 1994) and F-1 Race (Nintendo, 1990). Looks like another solder job for the save batteries. Sadly i never got around to play F1-Race with three friends back in the day. I recon today will be even harder, but i kinda want the four player adapter now anyway ^^

Oh nevermind... it's just the best platformer ever made. Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2 (Nintendo, 2001). #gameboy #gba #nintendo #retro

Todays newcomers: Super R.C. Pro-Am (Nintendo, 1991) A fun little racing game that I remember borrowing from a friend as a kid. & The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap (Nintendo, 2004) Just glad i didn't catch a fake 😂 #gameboy #gba #nintendo #retro #zelda

I'll probably never beat this game ^^ (Mega Man - Dr. Wily's Revenge, Capcom, 1991) #gameboy #nintendo #capcom #megaman

Another new arrival. Love the cover art! (Mystic Quest, Square, 1991). The save battery is even still working but the housing needs a bit of brightening though. #gameboy #nintendo #retro

First GBA game arrived. F-Zero: GP Legend (Nintendo, 2002). #gameboy #gba #f-zero #retro

Well, that escalated quickly 😂 Got my hands on a 2002 GBA in very good condition! I took it apart first thing after the power-on test to clean. But besides of some dust under the rubber pads of the buttons, there was almost nothing to do! Now i need some games... ^^ #nintendo #gameboy #gba #retro

New arrival! One of my favourites as a kid. (Motocross Maniacs, Konami, 1989). Always clean those filthy cartridges first! #retro #gameboy #konami

Recently started collecting Game Boy games, as my better half surprised me with an original DMG for my birthday. So here's a full set of Donkey Kong Land! (I go for the loose, rugged ones cause im a cheapskate :P ) #gameboy #donkeykong #retro

After 17 years of marketing Android as an open platform, Google is mandating developer registration for all apps. Independent developers, open-source contributors, and alternative stores like F-Droid face an uncertain future. @keepandroidopen.bsky.social keepandroidopen.org

Keep Android Open

Your phone is about to stop being yours. In September 2026, Google will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with them.

So... I notice that the cats from Assassin's Creed Shadows have cat eyes responding to the lighting, distance and angle of the camera. Superb job! 🐈‍⬛🐈👁️👁️
