May 2019 stuff.

Starlink toy are on sale. So I completed my set except the elusive Startail. He is the only pilot not sold in the US.

Local online store might get him for 13 Euros (including postage to me).

They say they can order him with 10 day delivery but their results vary.
They have delivered on some hard to get items but failed on some easier ones.

You want me try ordering one?
If they fail it doesn't cost anything.

I would like to give a public Kudos to Arseen for helping me get my last Starlink physical pilot.

The order is in, but no confirmation of getting it yet, but no not getting it yet either which they usually send fast if they can't get the item.

Finally pulled the trigger on this...



I have a few different everdrives already, but I was always hesitant on this one as I have over 200 Genesis games (including the really expensive ones), and about 50 Master System games. But this will work great in my Analogue Mega SG.  And, honestly, I'm getting lazy. So I can just leave this plugged in all the time like I do with my N8 and Turbo ED. 
I went for the X7 for the save state feature.  I have been thinking of playing through some o f the RPGs again, and I don't have the time or patience to play through old school RPGs without something to boost the experience.

^^^ Did he add Pier Solar support yet?

My PS cart was DOA, and watermelon isn’t currently answering customer service emails it would appear

Maybe their twitter account is more responsive. We have slapped a few tech companies in the face publicly to get a response from them at work.

Nope.  PS still doa on the everdrive.
That said, apparently a soft mod Analogue Mega SG CAN play it

The Watermelon story is waaaaaaaaaayyyyyy too long for me to even try and sum it up here.  Pretty much, the company is not going to respond to anyone about anything at this point.  What's left of the "company" is still supposedly working on Paprium which is an entirely different story....  If you really want to go down the rabbit hole, there's a 3 part documentary about it on YouTube.

Reserved PlayStation 5 today.
One store offered this, and reservation cost nothing so why not.

Been a while since I have posted so this may be a lot of pics...

First up a shit load of games.







Got a FlipGrip.  This thing is awesome but my 2 big complaints are you have no access to power or volume while its in the setup.


Some reading material, LRG card binder and a Kickstarter card game.



Lastly for any firearm enthusiasts.  I build my first AR form scratch.

Yeah, I was only in at like $60 (or whatever the base pre-order was) but I can't imagine the people that spent hundreds / thousands on it.  *Supposedly* it might finally be on track again (see the last few pages of that thread) but I won't believe it until it's in my hands.

Today was an odd day.  Three different packages arrived.  All were unrelated, and none were expected.

The book was a kickstarter.  Shipping was delayed due to a warehouse fire (all original prints were destroyed).  
The PS4 game was LRG and we all know those take time to get printed and shipped.
The Ico soundtrack was an eBay order that never arrived and I had already been refunded for, but magically appeared today.

All 3 packages were ordered over a period of 10 months and all arrived today.

Wal-Mart is starting to mark down some of the older Arcade 1Up cabs.  This one was $75.






Also, all of this was free.  The Square Enix website had a sale on rewards items and I had 400 points worth of stuff.  I'm not big on collecting things outside of video games, but if there are two thing I enjoy outside of actual games, it's art books and soundtracks, so I was happy to get this stuff for the cost of shipping.

Did you ask?  

Mine was listed for $300 on the shelf, $200 online and app and it had a sticker on the box for $150.  However, when they scanned it, it came up for $75.  This only applied to the Centipede and Asteroids cabs.  There were a few others that were down to $200 and the rest were at the original $300.

If you are interested, ask them to check.  It doesn't hurt to ask.
