Indeed. And that's not even taking account those discs are much harder to get a hold of and/or more expensive than the Gameboy Player itself!

I went to that particular shop every other week for a year and that was all I saw there before or since. If you have the time and can be bothered you might get lucky. But honestly, it's a total chore! In terms of opportunity cost it's probably cheaper to buy from eBay or CEX!
I've just been sorting out my PS1 collection. This was my best haul, just before the pandemic. £1.99 each from a charity shop (our equivalent of goodwill or thrift stores in the UK).
Oh absolutely! That's the killer app for the Gameboy Player IMHO. Properly felt like a return to the SNES days of 2D platforming, but with improved tech and quality of life. Love it.
Lol. I've only been following this from a distance because I don't have any real interest in Birdsite anymore, but hadn't appreciated that they themselves may have caused the increase in API requests that cause them to introduce rate limits. That's hilarious.
Big shout out to the Gameboy Player add-on for the GameCube, and the equally brilliant Game Boy Interface which vastly improves the video quality.
Recently I was at the dump an the guy in front of my had two full wheelie bins in his car. I thought he was the smartest person ever until I saw him try to 1) maneuver a full bin out of the car and 2) upend the bin into the skip.
The Mastodon instance I'm on has blocked all known Meta IPs as a preventative measure. So I imagine some admins will federate and some won't, and users will be free to join the instance that they wish to.
Nice. Thank you!
My old neighbour tells me that the person who moved into our last house has been known to chase neighbours down the street to insist they come in for a cup of tea. So I think there is a line here where it can become socially awkward.
Not sure I remember this one from the highway code. Beware of person peeking though letterbox?
Tapeworm Disco Puzzle for the NES by Lowtek Games. Got this at Play Expo today in Glasgow, Scotland.
My espresso based mid-morning beverage of choice is a long black. Which I make with 80g of water topped off with a 36g shot of espresso. I think most people tend to use a bit more water, but I find this ratio a nice balance. My mind and body can only cope with two coffees a day, so I like to second and last one to be something I can savour!
Hardly Instagram worthy, but here is my properly humble espresso this morning. Brewed on my used Gaggia New Baby, and ground with a Kingrinder K4. It's the Trigonometry Blend from my local Artisan Roast here in Edinburgh. Not normally a fan of this blend but it was this month's subscription choice for espresso, and today it was perfect 🤌
