I'm just a dude watching over my mother and trying to make cartoons and video games from home. Northern Canadahttps://bsky.app/profile/patcoola.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/patcoola.bsky.social/post/3miz3y2n6ok26Just completed upgrading the network storage to 21TBs. The process took about two weeks. I had to get the drives used from eBay cause of poor availability and insane retail pricing. Hopefully these drives last long enough.08 Apr 2026 20:10 +0000at://did:plc:7x5ky4yiqsqytiamdmlhbwe2/app.bsky.feed.post/3miz3y2n6ok26https://bsky.app/profile/patcoola.bsky.social/post/3mia3voqqw22rI just heard from an eBay seller that the cost of shipping north has gone up 3 times the amount. Good thing I'm done with my eBay shopping.29 Mar 2026 21:32 +0000at://did:plc:7x5ky4yiqsqytiamdmlhbwe2/app.bsky.feed.post/3mia3voqqw22rhttps://bsky.app/profile/patcoola.bsky.social/post/3mhtr3huylc2uYes! Even the dead still has to file their taxes.

Somehow it started with the realization that I own a Game Boy Color but not a single title for it. Now I not only have a stack, I bought two consoles and over 102 games.
