Omg, what a cutie! What’s his name?

Haha, yeah. Some of the puzzles will definitely overheat your brain 😅

If Lab Rat is on the want to play list, definitely put it on the start list. The writing is really fantastic!

BTW if you want to get an HDMI adapter for them, my friend who keeps up with this sort of thing recommended this model: insurrectionindustries.com/product/carb...

(I didn't mention a specific model earlier since the HDMy CUBE adapter I have is no longer being made.)

Also I'd be wary of the Wavebird controllers. (The first-party wireless controllers Nintendo made.) Maybe I'm just unlucky, but none of my three work consistently anymore. I think they struggle in the presence of modern wireless devices.

I'm sure CRTs are in no short supply in your home, but never know what they might want in the future. I believe there's also third-party component adapters based on the same tech.

Be wary of any adapters claiming SNES/N64 compatibility though, those use are just converting the composite signal.

Not a game suggestion, but try to get a DOL-001 if you can. Unlike the DOL-101 revision it has a digital AV output.

Originally used for the component output cable (which is now unobtanium)-there are inexpensive third-party HDMI adapters for it that work much nicer than adapting the composite signal

Ahhhh, congrats!

Ah, please do!

Puppy photos run a strong risk of causing me to go find Nova a little sister but it’s a risk I’m willing to take

Haha, I feel like you were one of the first people to ditch the bird site in the first place.

Also here’s a Nova for good luck. Looking forward to seeing your art on here!

Ah that’s too bad, hopefully he finds time sooner rather than later

Congrats! Great to see this book get updated.

You should try to get the website updated if you can, I was recommending a friend buy the book once the 2nd edition was released--we almost didn't notice it already had been.

Apparently so! Although you really shouldn’t sleep on Scrabzel

Can't spell Chipzel without EPIC or any of these other 102 words according to the random Scrabble word list I found
