thing i extremely did not know was in RE1 even from how much i've osmosed over the years: this incredible screen

Thanks to Leonierx, the second and third stages of Star Devastator are now playable! It turns out the trial contains the first half of the full game. For a 3D keitai game in 2003, this one pushed the limit. Hopefully we'll find the rest of the stages one day! I've posted a longer gameplay below.
photo from a 3DS disassembly guide showing the back of the 3DS lifted up to expose the circuits, highlighting a precariously placed ribbon cable that attaches a pad directly to the circuit for the shoulder buttons
the actual worst part of it for me was the part where you have to reattach the L/R button cables, hell hell hell!!!!!
my only other electronics assembly type project before this was putting together my MiSTer so i'm glad to get more experience like this but god ribbon cables are so evil...
a damaged rubber topper for the back cover of the 3DS
a broken piece of the back cover that held a screw in place, with the perpetrator on the mat below, out of focus
not without a couple minor casualties, including damaging the back cover bc of a stripped screw, but i think that's something that's pretty cheaply replaced so i'm not gonna sweat it
partially disassembled New 3DS XL showing the exposed circuit boards
close up of the board that handles the face buttons, with a corroded contact pad sticker taken off before it is replaced
nerve-wracking as hell but we did it...
making big moves in my life today (doing electronics repair for the first time as i try and fix my 3DS face buttons)
A new Cosmo Champs! After our long hiatus Santo is back from Japan, people are dying and going to hell (separate events), and we enter the second arc of the Hades OVA! www.abnormalmapping.com/cosmo/2026/3...
<- horror baby over here so while i've seen every discrete piece of this game from other people playing it over the years (but never a contiguous playthrough), i've never actually played through it myself and my only real hands-on RE series experience is half of RE4 and 1/4 of RE2R lol

tonight i have been gaming
A new GGP this week! Tons of Pokemon and Gundam news, and we get into a bunch of G Reco reveals that leave us frustrated by what it means to overstuff a show

hit *the* Midorikawa scene in Shin Aim for the Ace and felt nothing... the show is so sauceless 😔
i continue to think the angle of this leaning harder into being a grounded high school show is *fascinating* but man it's so limp. the tennis is so much worse also
the migraine you wake up with definitely among the most annoying ones
lol they're calling it the most "man, i GUESS" granblue anni event in history. truly washed...

#12: Forever Kingdom: big fan of this one! i liked it a good deal more than the original Evergrace, actually. some of the most gorgeous spaces i've seen on the PS2 and despite a pretty rough localization i like the party you hang out with here, just immaculate

i look like this
A new Around the Long Fire! Life has been beating us both up so we’re shaking up the format and going biweekly! We talk about why and what’s next, spend a ton of time talking about SLC Punk!, more hololive and umamusume, and much more! www.abnormalmapping.com/around-the-l...
enemy type in forever kingdom that plays cartoon splorch sound effect when it dies, great stuff
This weekend @shirokumahi.me and I retired our last Replicant.

A new Block Busters for all $5+ patrons! We were joined by @autumnalcoffee.exportaud.io to talk about Batman Forever, which meant we had a rowdy time because it’s a weird hyperactive movie www.patreon.com/posts/block-...
dense fog out today so of course a good half the cars don't have their lights on even on a 55mph highway. i hate driving so much dude
captcha screen in granblue that reads f a 9 6 c 7
wow i did not read that captcha right at first, we're not tight like that granblue
will say as someone who was big on automata at its launch i definitely soured on it and do think nier is the better game. part of my being sour on it tbh comes from the things that were lifted wholesale into automata, which is probably a bit unfair to the original's context
really been enjoying all the articles in this series you've put out!! very effectively conveyed what is so interesting and meaty in that game (although i do think i ended up more down on it as someone who came to it later after automata and yoko taro's cultural osmosis hit its peak)
bleached my hair, got back into the swing of regular exercise, cleaned my room, bout to prep some food... really making this weekend feel productive in a way i haven't been in quite a bit of time.
this week i'm also gonna embark on trying my first electronics repair job on my 3DS, exciting times
NEW ARTICLE! "In The Copied Cathedral", my exploration of the Drakengard/NieR series, continues with a bumper dissection of 2010's NIER. Cavia's swansong is strange and formulaic, inventive and predictable, and finds its own kind of beauty in how these things clash together.

last blippo+ screenshot for now, but incredible craft all throughout in nailing the vibe of so much of these slices of television
