Back in the year twenty-seventeen, a console that would change everything for many people was released, and with it, a game that most people would argue is the best game of this console, and that is, ladies and et al, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

I, like many of you, picked up this game along with the console. I still remember walking, randomly, into the local Best Buy, unemployed at the time, I might add, and with my severance monies, very unwise, purchased a Nintendo Switch gaming console and BotW. 

I remember sitting in my friend’s basement, setting up the switch, and going into the wilderness with this game. After a few hours or days, I couldn't care less about this game, mostly because in the situation that I was in, most likely.

Years later, I tried again, and I think I managed, or rather forced myself to activate two of the divine beasts, or whatever they are called. Once again, I dropped it. To the point, I gave up on anything Zelda-related, even though I have a Zelda-related tattoo. I even gave the game away. I felt like I did not have the sense of wonder and the imagination to figure things out.

A few days ago, I, for reasons I don’t understand… Actually, in fact, a few weeks ago I remember asking my people in some sechetchy, super-secret Discord channels, which would be the best modern Zelda-like experience, if BotW or Tears of the Kingdom, which I also bought on release and traded in a week or two after. Based on feedback and my own bias, mostly my own bias, let’s be honest, I decided BotW was it, for continuity reasons, right?

So, Walmart, good old Walmart, and also, screw Walmart, had the Nintendo Switch 1 version of BotW on sale, so I partook in the sale, and because I have whatever Nintendo’s online service, the upgrade to the Switch 2 version was “free”. And thus, my 2026, nine years later, and also on the 40th anniversary of Zelda as a franchise, I have started my adventure again.

This time around, I feel like I am taking a whole different approach from my first two tries. I want to wonder. I think when I first tried, I wanted to have my hand held so much that the sense of wonder, for me, was lost. I was probably playing an Assassin’s Creed game, which is as babying-type of game as they come. What I am trying to get at is that 9 years later, I get it. I understand why this game means so much to so many people, and I am looking forward to this adventure. Just like Hollow Knight, it took me years to finally get to it, and finish it, and to this date, it has become one of my top 5 of all time.

Not going to lie, there are a few things I find somewhat frustrating about BotW, but I guess that’s part of the charm, and I need to make peace with that and just wonder!

What are you playing?

You know, we all have one. We all have that one drawer, closet, space, attic, whatever spot that we never look at; we choose not to, usually out of fear because we might get scared that something might jump out of it and bite us! Or that we might get lost in the clutter.

Out of sight, out of mind, is what they say.

I got one of those places, in fact, 3, actually just 2 now.

I’ve got a cable drawer. I had the front closet, which we decluttered recently, and it was a lot of work, but we are happy it got done. Now all the shit that was in the closet is in bags, sitting in the garage waiting for something to happen to them. I believe some are going to the donation center and some to the landfill, unfortunately.

The third one is the back of my car, the backseats, where the kids dwell. I don’t look at it, I don’t pay much attention to it; in fact, that’s another dimension, out of existence as far as I am concerned.

This morning, though, I had the courage or stupidity of venturing back there looking for a beanie. Oh, sweet baby Jesus! What a mess, lol! There were blankets, shoes, socks, notebooks, and coloring books. I found toys and crayons. Sadly, no beanie.

Now I know what I’ll be doing on Friday.

So, what’s in your backseat?

We all know the struggle of classic video games — or even modern ones — or specific genres of video games that we love, but they don’t love us back, those that are impossible to finish. Or perhaps they used to love us, and we were able to finish, but now, they don’t anymore, and they have become impossible.

Schmups or shoot 'em up, or bullet hell games. 

I love this genre of games, but man, do I suck at them. Games like R-Type, Raiden DX, ZeroRanger, and Radiant Silvergun come to mind. I love playing them, but I never get too far. I play for a few minutes and put them down because I really suck.

Castlevania games. 

I think I own every Castlevania Collection on the Switch. I have a couple of Castlevania ROM hacks on my retro thingamabob, but I have never finished a single one. Well, that is not entirely true; I did finish a hack of Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow on my retro gaming thing, and only because I used an invincible cheat. I do try to play them every once in a while, but I have to admit I have little patience for them these days.

Metroid Games

I love Metroid; I think they are amazing games that defined an entire genre, but again, they feel impossible to beat. I have been wanting to beat Metroid Fusion since forever, and I always end up dropping it, again, little to no patience. Perhaps if I cheat my way, I can see it through. I think Metroid Dread has been the only one I got far enough in, and yet, I rage-quit it near the end.

Ninja Games

Looking at you, Ninja Gaiden, and looking at you, Shinobi. I have tried playing these games since the NES and Sega Master System days, and always rage-quit them. Even the more modern iterations of them. It wasn’t until the Nintendo Switch Ninja Gaiden Master Collection that I managed to beat those games because of accessibility options, and the same with its latest release, NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound. Shinobi also has a more recent version with SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance, which is far more approachable and forgiving than the older games. That said, I haven’t finished it, so I need to get back to it at some point.

Soulslike

Soulslike, to me, are the richest and beautiful genre/games out there. Take, for example, Elden Ring, a beautiful, awesome game that I very much suck at. I have tried to start a new run at least 4 times and, again, rage-quit it! Same with pixel-rich graphics like Blasphemous, love the game, but it is impossible, or at least it seemed like it last time I tried it. Hollow Knight, it took me years until I braved up and, with the help of YouTube, I managed to complete it, well, 99% completion that is. Hollow Knight: Silksong, the game that made me try Hollow Knight in the first place, I was truly looking forward to playing it. I guess HK made me a little overconfident; I was doing okay, but I started it right after HK, so I felt a little burnt out, so it is on hold at the moment.  So many great titles in this genre that I would love to “git good” and finish them.

I do hope that, either with the guidance of YouTube or emulation, I can get through some of these games eventually.

So, what are your games or genres that you love but they don’t love you back?

A little over a year ago, I got my first emulation handheld thingamabob, the Ambernic  RG40XXv. And as such, this device opened the gates to a whole new world, a new fantastic point of view, as it were (wink). To revisit the games that I enjoyed at some point. To give it a go at those I never got the pleasure to play, and then some.

A few months later, I got the — at the time — the new-kid-on-the-block, the Trimui Brick, and a few months after that, I got a second one, because I wanted a different color, and thus now everyone here, in one way or another, has a retro thingamabob to play with.

The thing about these devices, unless you purchase them without a card, they’ll come preloaded with a ridiculous and overkill amount of games. Games that you probably never even heard of, which makes the pick-a-game-and-play experience overwhelming; too much choice. Which is why many people just remove the stock card, set up a new one with an actual, legit brand name, and provide their own files. And even if you start building your own collection in hopes of managing your library better, if you are like me, you’ll still end up with way too many games to choose from.

I, personally, have been constantly battling to manage my collection of ROMs. Managing your collection can be made easy with custom firmwares; some stock OSes do have a way to manage favorites and such, but others let you build entire custom collections. I tried that approach, I’d have about 400+ games total, and would filter via collections. And yet, it feels like a lot.

A few weeks ago, I watched this YouTube video, “Check out my “Five Game Handheld” where he takes a Miyoo Mini Flip, which, surprise, surprise, I have one coming, I think. Anyway, he takes the flipping thing and turns it into a five-game-only device. And I did like that idea, quite a lot. Took me back to the days were you only had 5 games in your collection and that’s all you had to play with unless, well, you rented a game every week or so.

So I did it, I nuked my SD Card, installed MinUI obviously, as god intended, then  I installed the Game View.pak, which will make it so your games are front and center as a list rather than your system’s submenus. 

But here’s the pickle: which 5 games do I pick? I did try, but I failed. It is virtually impossible for me to just have 5, although I should definitely try, and there are so many games I want to play that I think I will get to, but 5 seems too constrained. The way I compromised is to have 5, but per system.  Have  1 or 2 games that are my favorites to pick and play, and the rest are something I haven’t played but want to get to at some point.

That approach lasted about a week. As someone who’s constantly visiting websites like Romhacking.net, itch.io, and others, and watching YouTube, following game developers, I am constantly discovering the stuff to play, and keep loading them into my retro thingamabob. Improvement hacks, Homebrew games, etc. That being said, some systems I do have a 5-game only policy still, others, well, more than five but less than 20; SNES is one of those. Also, if I try a game that doesn’t click for me in any way, it gets deleted. Especially those obscure, rare games I come across.

And thus, this is how I have been managing my gaming collection these days. If I can limit myself to 5 per system, cool, if not, well, if I can keep it at least to less than 20, that’s fine by me. And again, keep playing and deleting.

Also, I started to list the games I had per system, and gave up halfway through it :-P

Cheers!

For months, I have been debating, ruminating, and obsessing about the idea of ditching Apple, whether it’s ditching all of their devices and services or just their devices but keeping services, for various reasons. The idea of doing this comes from a mixed bag of feelings. Is it some discontent with the company? Boredom? Just because? I know a lot of people are doing this, ditching Apple and its services. Perhaps because of the ecosystem lock-in, pricing, and political spending and lobbying, the last one pisses many people off more than anything, I guess.

Again, I can’t point out the reason why, I mean, the more I think about it, I think it’s 75% boredom and 25% ecosystem lock-in. I do not care about their political spending and lobbying, at least not as much. Everybody does it, and we should stop holding these multimillion-dollar companies to any high standards whatsoever. There is no lesser evil; there is just evil.

So, where do  I stand on this, today, November third, of the year of our lord, twenty twenty five? Well, ugh, honestly, the more I think of it, no matter how I slice it, I come back to the same conclusion: I am better off staying with what I know,  which is what I am familiar with. I am too lazy to change things, to find the services and other ways to do all of the things I have been doing — and working — just fine for years. My photo library, my music, my tools, and services. I take my hat off to those who have managed to do it, but not me; I don’t have the time or energy for that. 

All of this is to say that I do not see leaving Apple and its services any time soon, but I am not the Apple enthusiast that I was 3 or 4 years ago; I am just an end user who likes convenience.

Okay, I’ll play. 

Here are 10 pointless facts about me.

1. Do you floss your teeth?
   No, but I should; brush.

2. Tea, coffee, or water?
   Coffee, but only in the mornings. Lots of water throughout the day, and if it is fizzy, even better!

3. Footwear preference?
   Adidas; duh!

4. Favourite dessert?
   I am super-basic when it comes to this, chocolate cake, plain cheesecake, and, not a sponsor,  Sara Lee Pound Cake. 

5. The first thing you do when you wake up?
   I grab my phone..

6. Age you’d like to stick at?
   Uff, this is a difficult one. Perhaps mid-30s, and for no particular reason other than it was probably when I was most active.

7. How many hats do you own?
   Probably 6, and do not wear them all, and tons and tons of beanies; also, don’t wear them all.

8. Describe the last photo you took?
   Let me show you! This is Marley, taken a few days ago at the Pizza parlor.

   

9. Worst TV show?
   I do not watch bad shows. 😂

10. As a child, what was your aspiration for adulthood?
    Still trying to figure that one out. Probably just being a nice person.

Last Friday, October 3rd, of the year of our lord, twenty-twenty-five, I received a package in the mail. A Package that I ordered from the Amazons. Weeks prior, I had been thinking of, not so much replacing my favorite emulation handheld, the Trimui Brick, but to try something slightly different, something  more “nostalgic”.  I wanted a clamshell device, a flippy thing, something reminiscent of the Game Boy Advance SP.  I do remember owning one back in the day, although the only games I remember playing on it were Mega Man games; I do not recall playing many GBA titles back then. I guess I owned one because it was a thing to own, kind of like when the Zune came out, I didn’t love it, but it was a thing to have among my nerdy friends.

Anyway! I had been looking at two devices, the ANBERNIC RG 34XXSP and the Miyoo Flip. After watching a couple of dozen review videos, I was leaning more towards the Ambernic device. Also, I had been talking with some schetchy dude in one of my super-secret nerdy Discord channels, tenlevels — shout out to tenlevels! And this is what he told me: Get an RG34XX-SP with MinUI and you’ll be happy, or something like that. The Flappy thing goes for about 64 USD, but when you add shipping ends up being about 84, and it’d take forever to get to me, whereas at the Amazons it was 83 USD and got it next day, so might as well. 

Long story short, the flippy thing is here, and it has been amazing! Levels was right. I went for the black one, the right color to get. Opening and closing it it’s so satisfying and very nostalgic. The screen is actually pretty good on this thing. I thought I was going to miss the image quality of the Brick, but that has not been the case, so far.

One of the things I liked about this thing, is portable, protected, and very pocketable, and the fact that it is somewhat protected makes it easier to just throw it in my always-full-of-shit backpack and not worry about the screen as much. Also, it is not as bulky as its big brother, the RG35XX-SP. I never owned one but always looked too Bulky, and I do not like bulky. At least not for my pocketable devices. This is a 3.4-inch, 3X2 ratio screen, which is the perfect ratio for GBA games. This device is definitely very GBA-centric; the screen will give you great-looking GBA games. That said, I have been playing other systems on it as well, and they look just as good. I do not plan to play anything beyond PS1, if that. Most of my retro gaming is GB, GBC, and GBA. 

As for the operating system, well, Ambernic’s OS is not terrible, but I don’t love it, and I would much rather have my own ROMs so it did not last a day on the device. I promptly installed MinUI, the OS that I know and love, and it works great. I  also tried MuOS Goose; it has got more bells and whistles, plus PortMaster, compared to MinUI. MinUI is as barebones as it gets, which makes it more about getting in and out of your games easily, so I tend to prefer that approach.

I’ll be honest, as excited as I was to get a new retro-doodad — I like getting new shit — I wasn’t sure I was going to like it as much as the Trimui Brick. I mean, I love the Brick so much that I got a second color. But after messing around with the MinUI Flip (yes, that’s how I’m calling it, or the Goose Flip, if I am running MuOS) for the weekend, it has won me over. I truly like this flipping thing. My Pokémon games never looked better! 

A Bit Naive by  BARRY HESS

What I wouldn’t give right now to be a bit more naive.

What I wouldn’t give for all of us to be a bit more naive.

A bit less social media.

A bit less 24-hour news.

A bit less needing to care about what’s going on in the ivory towers of our societies.

A bit less needing to worry about the safety of those I love.

A bit less needing to worry about the safety of those most vulnerable.

What I wouldn’t give for all of us to be a bit more naive.

This is spot on! Interestingly, I came across this post as I am rebuilding my RSS feed and also having the same thoughts. With everything that is going on in this country, it’s becoming increasingly hard to stay positive and not worry sick, feeling overwhelmed and anxious.

I can’t anymore.

I want to put myself in a cocoon and ignore the world around me. I need to unsubscribe from some podcasts, stop scrolling social media, and just do the things that bring me joy, which are playing Pokémon games, Hollow Knight, and I should probably get back into photography. I feel like I have been neglecting that.

As a video game enthusiast, I always love it when I find a game that I look forward to playing every day—a game that keeps me thinking about it regardless of how difficult it may be. For the past few weeks, or 30 hours of gameplay, this game has been Hollow Knight. Yes, a game that came out 7 years ago, and I am playing it with the same enthusiasm most people had for it in 2018.

METAL GEAR SOLID Δ: SNAKE EATER and Gears of War: Reloaded

I remember back in the day, in 2003-2004, this was college, and I remember getting hold of — or perhaps it was a friend of mine — a magazine where they showed previews of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. I still remember my first reaction. I was like, “I’m not sure about this”.  In many ways, MGS3 was such a big departure from MGS1 and Sons of Liberty.  Snake, in the 60s, in the jungle with no modern tech? It sounded bizarre to me. Then, of course, the game came out, and it became one of my favorite games of all time. It is a MASTERPIECE with great cinematics and storytelling. Set in the Cold War, it stripped away modern technology to focus on raw survival skills. Hunting for food, treating wounds, and using camouflage to hide in plain sight. But what really made it special was the emotional punch of its story, particularly the relationship between Snake and his mentor, The Boss.  Now it is 2025, and guess what, MGS3 got a facelift with MGS Delta: Snake Eater,  and it is gorgeous! In my opinion.  While staying faithful to the original, but with much modern graphics and controls.

I have been playing it, and I am close to the ending, just past the 3 hours of Shagohod’s fighting sequence and on my way to The Boss. One thing I learned, after 21 years, was a new, lazy, and funny way of beating The End, IYKYK.

Fast forward to 2006, it is college — still — and my first job at the local GameStop. I had no previous knowledge of this game until I started working there. A client shows me the Gears of War "Mad World" trailer with Gary Jules' haunting cover of Tears for Fears' "Mad World." The trailer showed Marcus Fenix moving through the ruins of Sera while fighting the Locust, but it was the somber, melancholic tone that made it so iconic to me!

A week later, the game came out, and it was the first game I ever bought with my employee discount. Everybody at the store got it, and we played this game online, always the same people, with a few random people every once in a while, for over 9 months. It is probably the only game I finished in every difficulty setting available. I am a huge fan of this franchise. But it is the first game that I hold dear in my heart. I have so many good memories, plus the game just blew my mind at the time. Later on, we got a remastered version and that elevated the game to a next level of awesomeness,  when it comes to graphics and performance. This game, Gears of War, alone is the reason I kept an Xbox console around.

It is now 2025, and we get Gears of War: Reloaded on the PlayStation 5. So, dear Xbox, SUCK PAVEMENT! 

Now let’s crank up our chainsaws once again!  This classic has been polished up for 4K, HDR, 60 FPS gameplay, and it’s finally available on PlayStation for the first time. And this game, like it has always been, is pure comfort food. Same iconic combat, same cover mechanics, but fresh, polished graphics for one of the most fun and influential shooters of all time. I played the first 30 mins or so, and I knew exactly what to do, and exactly where the dog tags are, as if I never stopped playing this game. Running and sticking a grenade in an enemy never looked better!

Again, I am so happy I get to have two of my favorite games of all time in my second favorite console with beautiful upgraded graphics and modern mechanics. The one thing I find kind of messed up, though, is the fact that Gears is priced at 39.99 USD, whereas Delta is 69.99 USD.

Inspired by the Hemispheric Views podcast radio show and their Thumbs-Up Corner™,  I’m going to present you all with mine.

The Nintendo Switch 2

As a long-time Nintendo fan/enthusiast/gamer, an OG Switch, and two Switch Lite owners, it was obvious that I would get this console at some point, especially with all the technical improvements that came with it. That said, the retail price is a little scary, especially for the Mario Kart World Console game bundle. So, I went to my local video game store and traded in a ton of physical games, most of which I own digitally or have a different physical version of, and one of my Nintendo Switch consoles. Just like with my PS5, I asked the owner if they’d contact me a soon as they’d get one in stock. He asked which version. I said I did not care. Two days later, he called me, saying he got the console-Mario Kart bundle version. Twenty-two dollars later, I came home with a Nintendo Switch 2. I have to say, I have been enjoying this console; it looks and performs great. Some games do play better on the NS2 than on the OLED. It is not very pocketable, though, but that’s okay.

So, thumbs up and shout-out to the Nintendo Switch 2

Mario Kart™ World for Nintendo Switch 2

So, with the NS2 acquisition came Mario Kart World!  We, as a family, played a lot, a lot of Mario Kart 8, and so far, with Mario Kart World, it hasn’t been any different. Mario Kart World takes everything amazing about classic Mario Kart 8 and cranks it up to 11 in the best possible way. It is so much fun!

Thumbs up to Mario Kart World!

Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound and Shinobi: Art of Vengeance

In a world in which, in my opinion, which is always right sixty percent of the time, we don’t have enough Ninja stuff. We don’t get enough movies, video games, or series. Getting these two games pretty much back-to-back sparks so much joy.

Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, developed by The Game Kitchen, the same team behind the Blasphemous games. Ninja Gaiden games are infamous for being tough as nails, but I feel like this one is more forgiving due to the accessibility options, and I appreciate that. I have finished this game 3 times already.

Shinobi: Art of Vengeance from Lizardcube, the team who brought us Streets of Rage 4, one of my favorite games of all time. The first thing that hits you is the art. Lizardcube’s hand‑painted levels look like a comic book come to life. A neon city drenched in rain, a fish market you can almost smell, just like the art in SOR4. I am yet to finish it, but I have put a good amount of hours into it.

Another double thumbs up for these two, and shout-out to The Game Kitchen and Lizardcube for these two gems.

And there you have it, I wanted to do 3, but I guess I cheated my way into 4.

My backlog, and specifically the Nintendo Switch one, is full of games that I have bought but never played, like most of us. Some got out of FOMO, and some of a combination of FOMO and the game being on sale. Why not, right?

One of these games was Hollow Knight years ago, on the Nintendo Switch. I probably played it for a few minutes and moved on, and never looked back at it again. But it has been on the back of my mind to get back to it. I recently got a Nintendo Switch 2 and with that a newfound enthusiasm for playing games on it, and it was a good excuse to load Hollow Knight, plus the announcement of its sequel — I think it’s a sequel — Hollow Knight: Silksong, it generated enough buzz to get me interested again.

A game I have been playing recently is Assassin’s Creed: Shadows on the PlayStation 5, which is a fantastic title, and I had a great time with it, so much so that I finished the main story twice, and I am sure, that I will probably finish it a third time, especially when the next DLC drops. Whenever that is.

I had blogged about this game recently and made the point that this is the AC game that a lot of fans, me included, were waiting for. Feudal Japan, Samurai action, or ninja action, in this case. But before we got Shadows, we had the game I knew I wanted, but didn’t know it was coming, and it was even better than I was hoping for: Ghost of Tsushima.

So naturally, naturally for me that is, right after finishing Shadows, I jumped back into Tsushima, and boy, is this game something unique! Of course, there are many comparisons between the two games — and for good reason. Both games toss us into feudal Japan, let us swing katanas like total badasses, and sneak through tall grass like deadly ninjas. But once you dive in, they each carve their own path.

Hello, and Welcome!

When it comes to the PlayStation One, I’ll be honest, I have very few memories of games that blew my mind in some way. Metal Gear Solid is one of them, of course. Another game that blew my socks off was Project: Horned Owl,

Oh, hi!

Hello!

Welcome!

This morning, like almost every morning, I was browsing my almost perfectly tailored YouTube algorithm and came across a YouTuber named JD Coffee, who discusses video games, coffee, and fatherhood, right up my alley. Imagine a dude, talking video games stuff while preparing coffee using an Aeropress. Anyways, I watched a couple before subscribing, and in one of them, he mentioned that he valued access over ownership, experience over collecting. And I found myself sympathizing with that sentiment, to an extent, I think. In fact, I find myself somewhat conflicted about it, in a way, which I’ll do my best to explain here. I have also posed the question to the Fediverse, and it’s been interesting so far.

Although video gaming has been a lifelong obsession, if there is something I have become more obsessed with in the past 6 months, it is Reto Gaming, emulation, and just trying to play interesting and fun things that I come across, besides the current consoles, of course. Here are a few games I have been playing lately.

Oh! Hello, there!

How are you?

Thank you for clicking or getting this on your RSS reader of choice and stumbling upon it.

A game I have been playing for a hot minute now is Assassin's Creed Shadows, on the PlayStation 5.

I have probably blogged, written, talked, quested, about this franchise for as long as I have been blogging, writing, talking, questing on this blog thingy. I am a huge fan of this franchise. Although I haven’t played every mobile game or small spin-offs, I have played every single major title, except for Unity, I mean, I tried, but it was so bad, oh, and never finished the Pirate one, I have never been so much into pirates.

Way back in the day, when most of you were rocking your OG iPhone or the 3G, maybe even the 3GS, I was still using a flip phone, a Razor? Circa 2007. In 2008, I moved to the US and still rocked some form of “dumb phone.” With no internet, no email, nothing. Heck, I even barely texted back then; I was still making phone calls. It wasn’t until 2009, when the HTC DROID ERIS came out, that I had my first ever smartphone device. And it was okay, for the time, I remember rooting the thing and installing custom ROMs, etc. I do not remember much in between, but later on, I ended up having the Motorola DROID X, and at the time, that was the ultimate device for me. It was powerful, had a good battery, and a lot of support from the ROM community until I got tired of it, not so much of the device but from all the tinkering required to make it work for me, the way I wanted it to.

Thinking back, probably and most certainly the reason I never even thought of trying an iPhone is because it wasn’t until 2011 when the iPhone was finally available on Verizon. Then, it was the iPhone 4, and again, because I got tired of all the tinkering, I went for the iPhone 4, because at the time, it just worked.

And that’s when it all began for me. I have owned almost every single iteration of the iPhone since. And thus, every Apple service like Apple Music and Photos, other devices like iPads, Apple TV, HomePod, Apple Watch (since its first edition), and et all.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins, on the PlayStation 5

If you don’t know what Dynasty Warriors is, and that I am a huge fan of this franchise, you’ve got no business reading my blog! 

I kid, I kid! Please come here, get closer, sit down, and read! 

I would tell you how I became addicted to this franchise and every other fanservice game this game style has spawned, but then this post would be three minutes as long.

Hello! It’s me, Gabz!

Since last November, I have found a brand-new obsession, Retro Gaming. At the time, all I wanted was a way to play a few games that I did not have the original hardware for. So, all I needed was a system to play all of my legal game backups. For which I am very glad I did back them up since all my originals were destroyed in a fire…

After some research and trial and error, I ended up with the best system to emulate my games, the Trimui Brick, which in my opinion, which is correct and proven by science, is the best retro handheld out there, so far.
