i thought they were all purple?

Everyone I knew had a black GameCube. You've never seen a black GameCube?
I dug through my desk drawers and came up with the same color purple Gameboy Color and Gameboy Advance! I misremembered my Nintendo DS being purple. I found that too and sadly it is grey/white.

Speaking of gamecube purple, one of my recent keep-entertained-at-home initiatives was this Retroid game thingy, which is slightly infuriating to deal with tech-wise but does the thing. (I'm not much of a console player, so this far I've just been occupied with getting MAME to work to dig through some ancient arcade games.)

Nah, just bought it. They're readily available on Ali/Amazon/elsewhere in a variety of retro stylez. But if you want to play more than the bundled games it takes some work — it's basically the processor from a generation-old android phone with a built-in gamepad (and no touchscreen) so it takes some dealing to deal with the android versions of the emulation software, plus digging out whatever ROMs you want.

That d-sound looks nice. Think I've only seen the minis. Especially dig that fresnel.

MXR size over mini any day! the d-sound really lacks in the knob department tho. bet it would look sick with some very appropriate sovetek style knobs

Acoustic thermal noise of water has a violet spectrum, causing it to dominate hydrophone measurements at high frequencies.
