I like your gaming credenza @RickR! These are the sort of posts I love to see!

$60 for this vs. $160 for the real Everrdrive.  The only downside is that longevity is unknown. 

I have several everdrives (NES, SNES, Genesis, TG16, GBC), and they all work most excellently.  I agree they make good sense.  Not just in overall cost-savings, but in convenience. 
 

Plus, it saves wear and tear on the original cartridges. It's a neat idea, actually.

Nice! Is it much cheaper than an actual N64 Everdrive? Any downsides compared to an actual Everdrive?
During Black Friday, I ordered Everdrives for SNES and Genesis. Even if you're a collector, playing games using these types of cartridges makes a lot of sense. I use the Harmony Encore cartridge to play 2600 games even though I have the actual game cartridges.

It's interesting how you can store multiple ROMs on an SD card and plug them into the cartridge that way. Cool stuff. Thanks for showing it. :O)

I'm still playing and still enjoying it.  It's more than just "mindless".  Some of the puzzles are kind of clever. 

I saw this game sitting on the shelf at the local retro game store yesterday, and I thought of you, Rick 😁

It's worth it for the multi-ball/cavity variations alone.

Just for you, Harry, I spent a few minutes with Breakout for the first time 😄 To answer your question, yes, Super Breakout is totally worth picking up. Both in graphics and sound, it's a noticeable improvement over Breakout. The ball physics seem a bit more natural as well. It's a cheap common game and totally deserves to be added to your library.

I love I Spy games!

I think there was also a late nineties pc version.
Yeah, I think I will give it a go if I see it. Can’t be expensive.

That is helpful.  I'll give it a try very soon.  Thank you!
 

There is supposed to be an app for the headset, but I don’t know what it is and haven’t gotten it. My headset is basically plastic with a tray for a phone.
On the YouTube app, click the 3 little dots and then “watch in VR”. Then I just slide it back into the headset. Tada!
So no, you don’t need a specific app. But, it’s an option.

It's fun.  The puzzles are not too hard, and there are little "Wii-esque" mini-games involved.  It has a very slick interface and a cute skeleton guide.  I really like the haunted-house vibe. 

If you can get your hands in it, give it a try!

I'm sorry to hear it.  I hope Ron feels better soon. 
 

Congrats!  I spent my very first paycheck on my Mother and got myself a 2600 junior with a few games. Celebrating that first paycheck is expected.  
A bit of advice.  After your first paycheck, whatever you decide to do with it, subtract 20% of your take home pay.  Stick that 20% you subtracted in your pocket, save the rest.  That 20% is to pay yourself and you should always pay yourself first.  If 20% is too much then find another lower percentage that works best for you.  

Happy birthday to you!

Yeah. Honestly, if I get a more conventional job someday (like in retail or fast food or something) I would probably still hang out with the guy and help him out if he needed it. But for now, I kind of need the money! 
I hope to save the vast majority of my earnings for future things like college and stuff. However, I would like to celebrate the occasion and maybe pick up a game sometime soon. I was thinking maybe Missile Command. After that, who knows! I might slowly save up for a ColecoVision or Genesis.
This also means I can finally fund my giveaway myself! I know I have been talking about doing this for a while, but I have been trying. Hopefully nobody is too upset with all of the delays.
Also, @socrates63, he is actually from your area! 

Congrats, good for you , especially in these current times. 

It’s awesome that your job is about helping someone 👍❤️

First day of work today! It went amazing!

Congrats to you!
 

You are so right to count your blessings.  Work does not define a person, it's that soul and character inside that does.  I have no doubt you'll land on your feet.
