I have for several years intended to sit down at watch Raumpatrouille – Die phantastischen Abenteuer des Raumschiffes Orion, the West German "star trek" style science fiction television program from 1966.

It aired for seven episodes.

You can find them with hard subs here: archive.org/details/raumpatrou

or soft subs in multiple languages here: archive.org/details/space-patr

In either cause, they appear to be be pretty good DVD rips.

I have been fiddling with a #gameDad, and it should play movies pretty well, so I'm going to slop those over to an SD Card and watch them on my Game Dad instead of engaging with thanksgiving.

What We’re Playing: October 2025
It's been a couple of years, I believe since we reported on what we're currently playing. This doesn't fill in any blanks for the time since we last reported, but maybe it'll be a useful snapshot for the current moment. Maybe we'll return to doing these, maybe once a month?

The last MIT Flea / Swapfest of the year is this coming Sunday, October 19th. I will be selling! I want stuff out of my home! All unreasonable offers will be entertained and/or entertaining!

Among other things I will have are:

- a Power Macintosh 7200/90 with a 300 MHz G3 upgrade card

- a 400 MHz G4 Graphite desktop, in its original box

- a Miyoo PocketGo, the predecessor to the Miyoo Mini (i.e., a )

ah shit, my #gamedad is dead!

(hopefully just a smoked SD card)

Had a wild idea for replacing my phone (or maybe just further subjugating it) by getting the "personal productivity" tools I've been writing to run on the #gamedad ...

I was just told about this pokemon / fire emblem rom hack... Added to my #gamedad this morning, now I just need to find some time to give it a solid play.

This is by far the biggest pixel art piece I've ever done. I normally like to stick to very low res and mostly sprite work, but for some reason I decided to make this "totally not a gameboyTM" have an accurate screen size. And why not do it in the GB Studio DMG palette while I'm at it?

I'm very proud of it though, it turned out far better than I could have imagine! I'm excited to use it as a stream asset in as many ways as I can dream up xP

Shoutout to @ifixcoinops and their website gamedad.club/ for sending me down the Game Dad rabbit hole several months ago. I love my Game Dads <3

#PixelArt #GameBoy #GameDad #DMG #aseprite #ClumsyArt #retrogaming

Gameboy style pixel art of a gameboy knockoff. Instead of reading "Nintendo GAME BOY TM" on the front, it says "ClumsyGolem GAME DAD TM". The system is clearly on and the screen reads "PAUSED".

Did #Google just launch another game platform, just to kill it in a few next months or years?😅

Hrmm. Speaker sounded terrible after loading some games so I went to investigate. The front face of the speaker seems to have laminated itself to the printed grille? I printed this a week ago. It wasn’t a hot part. Can a speaker get that hot?

I reassembled speaker-less for now.

A photo of the components inside the PiTin unit. The previously glued together speaker has come apart and some of the black on the outer membrane is stuck to the grill of the printed cover.

Well look at that. It wasn’t too hard at all. Time to charge it up and add some ROMs

#gamedad #retrogaming #linuxgaming #PiTin #retropie

An assembled version of the handheld components pictured in a previous post. It is now a small flip screen handheld with a basic dpad and four button controls. The screen is showing the splash screen for retropie.

More fun graphics on circuit boards please.

The opposite side of one of the previously shown circuit boards showing that it is covered in small line at cartoon drawings.

Let’s see if I can turn this into a #gamedad

#retrogaming #linuxgaming #PiTin

On a workbench sits a cutting mat standing in for a proper esd mat that I don’t own. 

On top of the cutting mat sits a handful of 3d printed parts, loose circuit boards, one speaker, a small display, and a LiPo pouch cell battery.

My Anbernic RG35XX Pro #GameDad arrived! So, obviously, I immediately started playing Link to the Past.

A translucent teal-green GameBoy-looking thing sits on a wood-grain tabletop. The device has SNES button layout and analog sticks below that. On the screen is Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Link has just purchased the bottle from the merchant in the village.

@ifixcoinops posted a #GameDad and now I want one. The question is, do I get something cheap and basic that’ll handle SNES, GameBoy, and Genesis-level consoles or do I wait and grab something that would handle PS2 and/or GameCube-level things?
I could be pretty happy playing Link to the Past Randomizer on a handheld for a while, but I would also like to maybe play the PS2 Tenchu games again and maybe get around to playing some of those 3D Zelda’s I keep hearing about…

Oh snap! Knulli added support for resume-from-state like minUI. Time to futz with my some more!

(I'm mostly very happy with minUI but I do like the visuals of Knulli a lot more.)

I love this use of “extra” space from the Pi-Tin folks. I’m a competent enough solderer, but it will still be kind of fun and reassuring to test my skills with the extra bits.

…Or maybe I use it to teach my 8yo about soldering…

Got my Vita working again earlier this week, so spent some free time playing #FF7 because it's the one I never actually got to the end of disc 1 before.

Got through the initial Mako reactor raid in my morning free time.

Fedi, I got my kid a #gameDad that can play PS1 games, but when I played PS1 games I was like 17. I remember what was fun for me, but my daughter's 8.

Were you in your pre-teen years when the PS1 was contemporary? If so, what games did you enjoy?

(please don't reply if you were over about 12 when the PS1 was contemporary, unless you had a kid who was under 12)

I have been playing some more #Castlevania #AriaOfSorrow and yep. This is awesome. I really like this location I just got to, the clock tower! Lots of moving mechanisms.
