Got some bits to mod my GBA for Christmas! A shiny new IPS screen with brightness controls, brand new shell and buttons, with a usb c charging mod on its way!

Will probably add a new speaker, headphone jack and link cable port soon too!

All parts from @handheldlegend!

I’ve got Dragon Quest V on DS and I adore it, but the Super Famicom version just has a certain charm to it that can’t be matched

@KyleFederline @Apple @thelightphone @TMobile @Mintmobile Hadn’t heard of the light phone before, just looked into it and it seems like an awesome idea! Deffo a lifestyle change but a good way to get offline more!

@thepatchmag @KyleFederline Patch without Kyle is like Drake without Josh 😌

Update: it’s alive! After Tokomon X we got (going left to right) Renamon X, then Leomon X and currently we’re rocking the awesome Metalgreymon X!

This thing is so cool 😩

Watched Over the Garden Wall as my spooky entertainment this Halloween, and as always it’s left me feeling nostalgic and melancholy.

An incredible piece of animation that I adore with all my heart 😌

Let’s see how long I can keep this Tokomon X alive 😅

In my recent foray back into Lego, I’ve discovered the star wars microfighters series and I’m obsessed.

A tiny millennium falcon to sit on my desk! Yes please. A miniature AT-AT to guard my shelf? I’ll take it. They’re so CUTE!

My first phyiscal @thepatchmag arrived through my door this morning

And I think I've fallen more in love with the magazine. Its so ditsy and I love it. Any indie game fans definitely one for you, the content is great and you get these cute covers to look at 😉

@NatashaHDesign THE PINK FROGS 😍 I’m gonna get that one next I think, It’s so so pretty!

Can confirm, Lego Botanical sets are incredible 😍

Didn’t expect Monster Hunter Now to as fun as it is. Perfect for me as some who who likes the concept of MH but could never really get into it 😂

@failbettergames @thepatchmag Always a pleasure!

September’s Patch mag is all about the ocean! Check out some awesome articles (including mine on what games will give you thalassophobia and a run down of the incredible Sunless Sea by @failbettergames !) @thepatchmag

@NatashaHDesign @failbettergames @thepatchmag Thank you so much! It was certainly fun to write 😌

God bless the people who put extended versions of video game songs on YouTube.

I’ve had the Sea of Stars battle theme bumping for the last like 3 hours 🥴

[pen and pixel @samw_writing]

@KyleFederline You’re not gonna be disappointed. About half my play time so far is sitting in a battle listening to the music 😂 It’s too good!

[pen and pixel @samw_writing]

2 hours in and Sea of Stars has already surpassed my expectations 😍
