Not the most portable setup, but here’s how I’ve been playing Pokémon Odyssey:
Raspberry Pi Zero 2, portable display, battery pack, and an 8BitDo Pro 2 controller.
Might try strapping the Pi and battery to the screen.

I cannot recommend the Panda Festival. We spent more time standing in line than actually inside. It was what I imagine hell to be like. Food prices started at $15 for a single skewer. You’re crammed shoulder to shoulder just to shuffle past a dozen food vendors and then you’re out.

Used #Blender to design a custom case for my #ArcadeCabinet power circuit ⚡️
4x M3 screws hold the top in place. Inside, 12V comes in and splits into three 12V lines + one 5V line to power the LCD, speakers, lights, and Raspberry Pi.

Whipped up some OpenSCAD parts to house my custom power rail board.
Blue PETG panels + bright orange corner blocks to hold M3 screws. Next step: assemble and see how tidy this can get!

Finally got power sorted. ⚡️
12V rail feeding the LCD, speakers, and button lights, plus a DC-DC step-down for 5V to the Raspberry Pi. It’s a spaghetti mess of cables right now, but everything works! Cleanup next. 🤞

Took @symbo1ics.bsky.social advice and made a bus bar for my arcade build ⚡️ Multimeter says it’s solid 🤞 Next up: wiring the positive side. Definitely ditching stranded wire in the future 😅

Found some existing shells to start from. I’ll need to modify them to fit my actual hardware. I originally wanted the GBC style, but my screen fits better in the DS style.

A buddy gave me this SUP handheld for free, so I thought it’d be fun to upgrade it. So far nothing has fit 😂 At this point it feels easier to 3D print a new shell and build my own from scratch.

My first attempt sucked pretty hard. I feel like I significantly improved by the forth wire. But now I’m left wondering, how the hell do I connect all four of these wires to a single pin?

Figuring out the power board for my arcade cabinet. Inline fuse, switch, and a couple smoothing caps to keep the Pi, LCD, amp, and coin button happy.

Upgrading the speakers in my arcade cabinet. I thought a pair of 4” would be a nice upgrade from the single 3” it came with. But it’s a little larger than I imagined.

So I cut down a dead tree. Did everything I could to make it fall away from the power line. Of course it fell on the power line. Now #Xfinity says they can’t come fix it for a week.

Been trying GPT-5 and so far, not impressed. I ask for a plan and it dumps a bunch of non-working code I didn’t ask for. Start a new chat, and it carries over things I said in an unrelated one.

On a long flight, my daughter spotted the new Snow White movie and asked to watch it. She didn’t even make it halfway through before asking me to turn it off. Said she didn’t like it and asked for Sonic 3 instead.

Just re-read Ferdinand. No bullies, no rescues, just a bull who knows what makes him happy. The movie misses the point by adding action and conflict. He didn’t need to fight to be strong. He already was.

Shared that study showing experienced devs were slower when using LLMs. Someone “debunked” it by linking to Hacker News comments where devs say they’re faster with LLMs. Truly the gold standard of peer review. 🤦♂️
