Yea man, apparently this will look at least as good as an HDMI modded and upscaled N64, but probably better.

I think I remember reading that it will play Japanese carts also, so I (think) it does!
Retro Blast💫 (@retroblast.bsky.social) reply parent
What's great about it, is that it does BOTH! It uses bluetooth controllers like the 8bitdo N64 controller, and uses original N64 controllers with the 4 ports!
Retro Blast💫 (@retroblast.bsky.social) reply parent
Yea man! I really REALLY want this thing to turn out great!
Retro Blast💫 (@retroblast.bsky.social) reply parent
You're correct, it's VERY hard. But it might future proof it long enough for MY lifespan at least lol. (I hope)
Retro Blast💫 (@retroblast.bsky.social) reply parent
My HOPE here, is that this becomes my standard for N64 moving forward. There will always be a place for my OG and other N64s on a CRT, but CRTs do die eventually. N64 emulation is not 100%, it's notoriously finnicky, but if this thing does its job then I'm set.
Retro Blast💫 (@retroblast.bsky.social)
IT'S REAL! They FINALLY showed the Analogue 3D running actual N64 carts and I gotta say, it looks like they pulled it off! Nailing N64 CRT image on modern TV is why this thing is such a big deal to N64 enthusiasts like myself who want to future proof as CRTs won't last forever (sadly). I'm ready!

Today marks the 10 year anniversary of Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain. A very polarizing entry in the MG series but over the years I’ve thought back on it and there’s a lot to love in this title. #MetalGearSolid #phantompain

What happened with Mark Laskey has me upset, so I'll just say this. I can't tell y'all what to do, but I ENCOURAGE you to just BE NICE. We all have struggles, pain, annoyances. We're human. But don't take that out on others. You don't know what anyone might be going through. Please be nice.

I completely get it man. I really do. The market is rough, but it's doable. I look at resumes daily and have been recruiting for like 15 years. I'm happy to help with your resume to make it more visible and I have some tips for job searching if you need.

FOR REAL why are they so delicious?
Retro Blast💫 (@retroblast.bsky.social) reply parent
For me, when that happened in the past I couldn't afford to wait so I was out immediately looking. If you have some time to invest in searching at a slower pace and can be okay financially, yes do that. If not, then it's harder to wait in all honesty.

I want a re-release or remake of illbleed. I don’t think a remake would be able to capture the insane energy of the original though. Every time I try to explain this game it doesn’t do it justice.
