I've updated my NES collection, and also added Pokemon cards I'm looking for (tab at the bottom). I am very willing to trade my circuit boards for these games/cards! (I may even entertain trading assembled boards... maybe...)

My son played my completed deathless run, died a bunch, and saved over it, so I gotta start a new one as prescribed by gaming law

Found out last night that the Zelda Game and Watch has a resolution setting for Link's Awakening, which was the biggest barrier to me actually playing it on this thing lol

What a great game

I have updated my wiki. It's a lot easier to navigate and view especially on mobile. I've also added some new scans. wiki.nataliethenerd.com

Merry Christmas! If you'd like to spend 45 minutes celebrating video game history with me, we're about to debut The Untold Story of the Nintendo Entertainment System. I worked on his ALL YEAR, and I genuinely think it will reshape how we all think about the system. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJvp...

Todd Lyons, Tom Homan, Kristi Neon, Stephen Miller, Bari Weiss... These people are literally evil. They will all burn in hell for their crimes.

But it is OUR responsibility to make sure their lives are hell while they're here, too. They deserve no less than to rot in prisons.

Thanks to @retropals.bsky.social, I am now aware of Home Alone 2: Kevin's Dream, an unreleased Game Boy game which features some kind of nightmarish creature with the heads of Harry and Marv as its final boss.

And now you are too.

Jesus, can you hear me? Good, the comms are working. Now, you're gonna need to run if you want to evade those Roman soldiers. Hold down A to sprint. Go ahead and try it. ... Good work! You just might be the savior yet. Now pick up that AR-15 and let's do some target practice.

imagine the kind of person you would have to be to watch that 60 Minutes segment and think "I must do everything I can to defend the people in charge of this process of sending people to be tortured."

There are plenty of obvious reasons to do this: Nobody under the age of 30 actually uses the site! You're rewarding Elon Musk!

But the most important thing is that some politicians and consultants are stewing in bot-driven, expensive Nazi propaganda, and it's giving them really bad, cruel ideas.
This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all.

And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

Hell yeah, good on you @timeextension.com

It's true, the ModRetro #Chromatic has a lot of input lag. It's pretty much unplayable. You shouldn't buy one
One of my greatest achievements

Shame any company or influencer that talks about this piece of shit, or the M64.

If you actively shill any products from #ModRetro you are complicit in the spread of fascism and the killing of innocents.

Palmer Luckey will burn in hell. He deserves to be shunned from society for his crimes.

This is unlike anything we've seen before in all our years of handheld reviewing!

I should make it clearer - the intent here is for this contest to run monthly for my discord channel members 😁

I'm doing a game contest for the rest of the month - beat me in Tetris DX (either Marathon or 40 lines), and get put in a raffle for one free PCB from my store of your choice.

Planning on making this a monthly thing, maybe probably, with different games each month.
