Building a PiGrrl 2

Back in the earlier days of the Raspberry Pi, there was a project going around called PiGrrl. It's of course, a play on the name "Game Boy". It's essentially just a Raspberry Pi in a GameBoy like housing. I built one back in 2021. I don't think I ever really posted about it because beyond building it, I never really used it much. If anything this is a bit of a discouragement to anyone else looking at a similar project. It never worked real great, and shortly after I just, bought a Retroid Pocket 3 which does, basically the same…

Weekly Wrap Up (2026.08.08)

Welcome to Blaugust week 2, which conveniently just lands on these Saturday Weekly things. This one is much more akin to "normal activities" for these posts. I've pretty much recovered from last week's illness issues, the worst part of all that is not feeling like, sick sick, but still feeling lethargic and tired. Because then it's all just, being super aware of everything you're not doing. Other than that not a lot of excitement. We got some quotes for replacing the roof, they were in the expected price range. I also have been contemplating some work related changes that I'm…

Armorsaurs Evolvers Ajax

I was almost tempted to watch an episode of the show attached to this line before writing but decided I didn't care that much about the lore here. I barely watch Transformers cartoons and I have a ton of those. From my brief bit of research, Armorsaurs is a Disney+ show based on a Korean show called Armor Saurs, with a space. Its a sort of, Korean Sentai show, Sentai being shows like, Power Rangers and Kamen Rider. Normal people who power up with fancy devices into armored fighters who often also command giant robots of some kind. In this…

Transformers – Gun Transformers Combiner

I am not sure where I first came across this set of transforming gun toys, I may have even just came across it randomly browsing Amazon. I do know I was kind of sold on the idea in general, but really sold on it by this absurd as fuck image from Amazon. Seriously, what the fuck. Like a lot of goofy shit like this, I put it on a list so I would remember to occasionally look at it and never buy it. Then I was picking up some house stuff, and it was suggested, at a heavily discounted price…

Weekly Wrap Up (2026.08.01)

Welcome to Blaugust edition. I'm not doing a welcome post, I've already done that at least once or twice or maybe thrice now, the basic premise is the same. Something something blog technically from like 1999 on Geocities, something something Ramen Junkie all over the web, something something I supposedly write rambling reviews when I am not kind of irritated and a little bummed out over everything being shitty. But Saturday isn't for Blaugust intros, Saturday is for weekly wrap ups, where I make commentary about shit I did or bought this week. It's the only thing I seem to…

Weekly Wrap Up (2026.07.25)

These are starting to get long, its almost like I should just blog smaller posts more. I have not been following it but I caught the end of the World Cup last weekend while at my parent's house for a visit. I don't understand fútbol at all. I mean I do, I get the gist, but like, they added 20 minutes because no one had scored? Then randomly added another 5 minutes? Maybe because the refs kept eating up the clock looking at injuries? Anyway, it was kind of exciting at the end, at least. In other "fun" times this…

Fortnite – LEGO – It Came From Beneath and Hot Rod Cars

There are a couple of events going on in LEGO Fortnite at the moment for some neat builds. One new, one returning. The Thing from Beneath Event The returning one is The Thing from Beneath, a Ninjago based quest that will earn an Airship blueprint. It starts at the Airship dock with Captain Flintlocke Instead of commenting the Thing may return, he tells you it has, and offers to trade some special bait for 150 Bamboo. With the bait acquired, the next step us to head to the Thing from Beneath's spawn point, which should be nearby. My was a…
