🔗 Anbernic RG35XX SP: An Almost Beginner’s Guide

I’m writing this about two weeks after the SP officially released, and I’ve already seen multiple reports of users' batteries swelling up and failing.

It’s a bit of a bummer to hear about battery issues with the RG35XXSP. Still, I’m excited to pick one of these up once they get this worked out. I’ve been looking for something smaller and more pocketable than the Odin 2 and the SP sounds like it’s the one.

My Hatsune Miku Secret Lair showed up today, no shipping notification or anything. I got the Elvish Mystic bonus card, though it sounds like some on Reddit are reporting that Snapcaster Mage is a possibility too! Wish they would have just put that in the pack itself instead of being random.

Managed to get both Clorinde and Sethos today!

🎮 3DS emulation is here on iOS with the latest update to Folium, which also runs GBA and DS games. It sounds like 3DS performance is not great, however, thanks to JIT not being supported on App Store apps. Maybe this will change with iOS 18? Please, Apple?

☕ Saturday morning, time for coffee, KonoSuba, and Yuru Camp.

❄️ Ayaka still carrying me through Abyss floor 12.

🍱 Naka-Kon was amazing! I can now say I’ve actually met a Love Live seiyuu. Thank you Aikyan for coming all the way out to the midwest for us!

🥱 Who’s ready for another riveting episode of The Max Verstappen Show tomorrow?

iGBA is out now on the iOS App Store! The first of hopefully many emulators. I would love to see RetroArch here soon!

☕ Saturday morning coffee & anime. Starting KonoSuba season 3 today!

It’s April, which means we’re about to begin one of the greatest anime seasons ever. 3 of my top 5 favorite anime will be getting a new season, among some other heavy hitters returning this spring.

These next few months are stacked!

Dipping my toes into the world of IEMs with a pair of Moondrop May headphones. They’re super comfortable, sound fantastic, and the included USB-C DSP cable is really handy. It works great with my various Apple devices, Steam Deck, and PC. Unfortunately it does not work with the Nintendo Switch unless you connect a separate 3.5mm cable to the earbuds themselves.

Of course, as these hobbies go, now that I know what they have to offer I’m looking at a nicer set of Moondrop IEMs. Their Dusk 2 earbuds aren’t out yet but should be pretty soon!

National Treasure 3’s Chances Get A Blunt Response From Nicolas Cage

No, there is no National Treasure 3. If you want to find treasure, don’t look at Disney, okay? It’s not there.

Nic Cage is the real national treasure.

Beets: The command line music management tool I’ve been looking for. I recently moved all my media to a new Unraid server; this ought to do the trick to get my music library back into shape.

Got to try Vision Pro for a 30 minute demo today.

Seeing all this discussion about Vision Pro kinda makes me just want to get a Quest 3, at least until the second iteration of Apple’s headset is out and the price comes down.

Liyue Harbor looking good for Lantern Rite!

Project Tapestry:

With Project Tapestry, we’ll create a universal, chronological timeline for iOS for any data that’s publicly available on the Internet. A service-independent overview of your social media and information landscape. Point the app toward your services and feeds, then scroll through everything all in one place to keep up-to-date and to see where you want to dive deeper. When you find something that you want to engage with or reply to, Tapestry will let you automatically open that post in the app of your choice and reply to it there. Tapestry isn’t meant to replace your favorite Mastodon app or RSS reader, but rather to complement them and help you figure out where you want to focus your attention.

Excited to see this from the Iconfactory. I remember using Socialite over a decade ago, and I would love to see a modern version of this concept!
