It doesn’t help that I couldn’t understand a damn thing the Jailer said in that cutscene. Probably needed more bass and reverb... Read more

“I am 33 years old. I know of only one Black woman older than me who plays video games.” Read more

This is SO DAMN COOL!!! Not only is her collection just amazing and impressive, but the presentation is just so great. I love hearing stories like this, Ash. Read more

God damn right I did. Great post, Ash. Read more

That lady is wonderful, I wish she was my neighbor. It’s unusual to see someone devote so much time and effort to collecting something, and then be so happy to share their joy by letting people play with it. I did make the mistake of reading some of the comments, and like usual, am dismayed at how quickly people can… Read more

I have never seen a collection of LCD game systems, but I love it! These were my first taste at videogaming, and I would have loved to collect them. I collected everything and still have pretty much everything I used to be interested in, and I had loads of the LCD systems, but never at the same time for some reason - I… Read more

I... misread this at first. Not sure if I’m relieved or disappointed.

Y’all, let Black women write about Black women the way they want to see Black women be written about. Jesus Christ. Read more

Literal goosebumps fam. I will be following her handles now to see what she’s up to. Definitely sending loads of love her way as well. Great article as always Ash. Made my weekend. Read more

I am starting to collect all the little retro cabinets coming out right now, I realize that all that stuff as available as ROMs but it isn’t the point. This lady is very awesome! Read more

Ash, I understand that I’m just a stranger on the internet and this will be an absurdly long comment and you may skip it, it’s fine, I won’t be offended. Read more

i wish more collectors of any hobby felt this way, i get the value of “new in box” but man, i’d hate to look at my records all day and never play them Read more

Okay how about; “White man wins best hip hop album of the year!”  It’s interesting because it’s unusual.  For you.  For us, it’s exciting because WOW, recognition!  It wasn’t that long ago that black kids were bullied for being into nerdy stuff while black.  On top of the regular nerdy kid bullying.  And a WOMAN on… Read more

I salute her for actually playing with her toys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Read more

I knew when she said she took it apart and fixed a system that she has...the knack. Electrical engineer is one of the hardest engineering disciplines there is so she has it in spades. Read more

Just did a quick search and I’m 99% sure it was this:

That’s one of the most aesthetically pleasing collections I’ve seen of anything, let alone just gaming. And she has stuff that people can play? Furthermore she doesn’t say that “it’s worthless” throughout the video? Why aren’t we crowning her “queen” yet? I’d rather have her represent just how wholesome, collecting… Read more

4C batteries actually. I had to look it up because I wasn’t sure, as it’s been 25+ years since I’ve actually held one. Read more

I have such nostalgia for these little LCD gadgets, and it’s stunning to see the thousands of ways developers were able to squeeze even the tiniest bit of fun into such limited technology. Creating a game out of raw circuits, transistors and LEDs, or displays that could only show a few discrete screens, even if that… Read more

I like that Linda is an electrical engineer. It seems to combo well with understanding how these games were made and having enough knowledge to repair/maintain them.

I open up my unresponsive game controllers, and all I can do is make things worse. lol
