As Derek Zoolander said: the files are in the computer! 🐒💻
Well, in this case, the files are in the Nintendo cartridge, and I need to get them onto the Raspberry Pi 5. I’m proud of this project as it’s my first ever Raspberry Pi project!

My RetroPie build is coming along well! 🎮
Mounting the NVMe hat to the Raspberry Pi 5 has honestly been the most difficult part thus far - all because I was using the wrong screw. 🥹
Also, why didn’t anyone tell me it’d take 20+ mins to install RetroPie? 😩

I think I’m most excited to finally get around to figuring out how to solder! That’s been a “maker” bucket list item of mine and it’s feels so surreal to see this finally come true—follow along as I do my best not to break something—or cry. 🥹 [2/2]

It’s my very first monthly builds kick-off! 🥳
It feels so good to finally get hands-on with some hardware! It’s been a minute since my PC build and I’ve been dying to explore new areas of building. July is gonna be a pretty chill month. Here’s a look at my plans for the month. [1/2]

Embarrassed to say that I’m finally getting around to using my Stream Deck to control my Teams meeting controls 🥹
+ just learned that it can open apps/programs 😳
What else can this thing do not related to streaming? I need advice!

I did it - I built my first PC! 👩🏾💻
And I didn’t even cry. I cursed a lot. But this PC build didn’t make me cry.
Gonna change the LCD screen to Whitley in the AM but for now, it’s Aaron Pierre. 🥰

Doing my first PC build - waiting for a few more items to arrive. Diving back into my Blender + Unity roots next year. 👩🏾💻
Any advice for first time PC builders?
Don’t worry, PC Part Picker and I became well acquainted already. 🥹

I’m new here to indie game dev 👋🏾 I’ve been working on a game called QWERTY in my spare time. It’s a mystery game that takes place at a keyboard company. I also 3D model + I’m currently making assets for my game.
I’m not part of an existing studio but I’m in DevRel at Microsoft, background in AR/VR.

Winner winner chicken dinner! 👩🏾💻
Finally choose my new personal use PC. It took a lot of vetting + ensuring it has the specs necessary for the things I do. 🧑🏾🎨
Can’t wait to run all the things on it at once! Sad to say goodbye to my Mac. 🥺

The empty case pic pairs with the picture next to it. But with pink cables.
The other two are decent but just not my preferred color. 🥺
Specs are comparable except pic 3 has an i9 processor instead of i7. All other specs are the same.

Thank you for choosing the most expensive option. 💕
I purely like this one because the case has pink. The second picture is what the interior would look like. So imagine picture 2 with pink + pink cables.

I loveee modeling keyboards! Why are they so fun to create? 🧑🏾🎨 And I never create one with the proper keys because that’d take all the fun out of it. 🤪⌨️

I’ve been creating the world for a video game that I’m making from scratch! 👾
Here’s a first look at some assets that I made last night. 👀
Polygon count is probably cray cray. 🤪
