Hopefully one day!

I barely have enough space ngl but the deafening whine of two CRTs is worth being a bit cramped

I have since replaced the broken bits of the Xbox! It works now :)

I don't think my joints will recover from hauling two 100+ pound bricks and their stands in (even with help) but I am Vibing™

This time, instead of a 27" Sony WEGA Trinitron, it's a 32" A series Toshiba (by Orion).

Considering their respective strengths and weaknesses, keeping the Sony as a dedicated video center and the Toshiba as a vintage gaming setup makes enough sense in my outdated mind to justify all this

I have so many Rewrite replicas to make still, and this has revived my motivation to get them all done.

Next up is either VHS Hi-Fi or NT tape

While helping my mom clean out her garage, I found a whole ass box of her ex's old computer accessories. Inside - five separate Zip 100 drives, two of which were USB.

Suddenly, destiny rang and I answered. Some incredibly heavily compressed MP3s later, I have the Rewrite OST on a Zip. Fantastic.

no clue where my PS1 went but it's somewhere... lurking... waiting

most have been in storage since 2019 or so, very glad they're all working after dusting em off (for the most part, the Xbox needs a new HDD and associated bits but it was on long enough for me to see that the disc drive still works)

consoles not pictured since they don't really fit anywhere currently but I picked up a bunch at yard sales and thrifts in 2015ish

highlights are a $10 Sega Genesis, a Dreamcast, a SNES, and a really nice 360 Elite

I have an OG Xbox as well that died five minutes after turning it on again lol

The fact this was shot with a MiniDV camcorder still kinda shocks me

it has been far too long since I felt compelled to click through text for hours

I missed this

all social media is a plague upon humanity but this idea has floated around my head for a long time so eh

I think I can improve the DAT now too, as I've gotten more practice with labelling the tapes themselves by now
