Blood and Honey 2 was a lot of fun! So much gore and overall a better movie than the first. The inevitable Dead Meat Kill Count for this movie will be awesome. Also, I hope Papa Meat gives his take in a video. Go see it if you can!

I tried a Seeeduino with the new Modxo firmware. It's an open source modchip for the OG Xbox. My DVD drive is dead so my Xbox won't boot anymore. I think the Seeeduino isn't compatible so I ordered an RP2040 Zero like it's meant for. I'll install it tonight and report back. Fingers crossed!

I'm about to see Winnie the Pooh Blood and Honey 2. I'm so excited!

I bought a replacement top screen for my DS Lite. I can't get myself to replace it without a new shell. The top screen replacement is so involved it feels like a waste to not do a whole new shell swap in the process. I guess I'll just keep checking until the one I want is back in stock.

I wanted to get the Pokemon-themed shell replacement since the one I got looks cool but is poorly made. The day I went to place the order it was sold out on Amazon. Then Retro Future rubs salt in the wound by releasing the shell swap video the next day featuring the shell I wanted! Thanks, Elliot.

Four years ago my brother gave me a DS Lite he got for free after helping a woman clean out her apartment. I immediately got a new shell and moved it over. Of course, I ended up damaging the digitizer. It took me 4 years to get around to fixing it. A week later the top screen died. Ugh!

I finished the last episode of Quiet on Set. Each episode got progressively more disturbing. I hope it helps to change the industry, but I doubt it will.

Is anyone else watching Quiet on Set? I'm only one episode in and it is wild. I don't think I was ready for it. I highly recommend it, but maybe space it out over a week.

As luck would have it I discovered my Xbox had stopped working a few days before the Insignia announcement. Luckily, I was able to get a cheap replacement on Facebook Marketplace. I just think it's funny it decided to die right before I really needed it. I think it's the DVD drive. I'll fix it soon.

Halo 2 is now supported on Insignia. I never thought I'd be able to play again. I played most of the weekend. It was glorious. I even introduced my son to it. This game means a lot to me and I am so happy to get to experience it once again. Thank you, Insignia Team.
