I've been using my #2ds as an alarm clock for several weeks now and it's been pretty nice. I don't end up scrolling in bed so I tend to go to sleep on time. also, while I pop open the phone to check for work messages in the morning, it doesn't happen as soon as I wake up.

this piece of awesome shows up but I have to work today... happy there's an option that doesn't require a mod. If this works well, I'll probably pick up another.

first medal on this cart, I think! #kokuga #2ds #nintendo #koss #portapro #cat #shmups #stg

kinda wanna play #battlefield2042 but i also sort of want to putter about with the #2ds. good problem to have i guess.

Winding down tonight with the #2ds xl and a #book on the couch with the #cats. Good #tzaf, #fediverse!

Wow, #ketsui death label is way harder for me on the new #2ds xl than it is on the old cheese wedge variant. Different screen sizes and controller layout. Better d-pad and a better experience overall but I really need to get adjusted. #stg #shmups #gaming #nintendo #3ds

Looks like the 42nd anniversary of #xevious is either this month or next month for the NA release. I'll be 42 in a couple of weeks and I learned that there was a port of the game to the #3ds, so that'll be my birthday game! Once I get the #2ds all set up, I'll install it and play a few rounds on my birthday! #nintendo #gaming #shmups #stg

Belated #tzag, #fediverse! Finally getting some #coffee down and doing the morning routine; #cats, work, and all.

The #2ds alarm didn't work initially but the second alarm woke me. I blame part of that on waking up long before the alarm due to a disturbance. Not having my phone by me all night and not checking it when I woke up was awesome. Will continue the practice.

Well I think I might use my old cheese wedge #2ds as an alarm clock. I found the #nintendo photo clock application, which I think was for the DSi. The alarms work, and it's not quite what I had in mind, but it'll let me get my phone away from me at night.

The only issue is I can't seem to figure out where it wants the pictures stored.

Unlocked black draft tonight. That's two full evac reports completed. I just lack one for gem & ini and jamdahar on the four panel reports in #ketsui death label. Still can't beat doom in hard mode c. #stg #shmups #2ds #3ds #nintendo

I've been using this theme for ages on my #2ds and I always wondered what the music was. Looked it up on theme plaza and found it funny that the title was #macross related.

On a little trip with the family this weekend and after breakfast I got the #2ds out and managed to clear hard mode b on #ketsui death label. Was trying to clear that for a while now and my score was decent. Amazing what a change of scenery can do sometimes. #3ds #nintendo #shmups #stg #gaming

After dan3, it's time for some #ketsui death label. It's funny to me that I find this game more chill but I guess that's because I have more hours in it.

I wish I had a solid record of all the EVAC reports. I have some on the 2ds and some on my emulators. Oh well. One day I'll grind these out.

Just spent a little more time with my gamesir x2 pro on my phone and now I'm really torn about what #game stuff I want to take on my biz trip in 2wks. My plan was to take the #2ds, my #gamesir g7, and my sp7+. offline old games on the 2ds then gamepass and stream my #xbox with the sp7+ & g7. less batteries to worry about. now i'm almost thinking skip the 2ds/g7/sp7+ and take just the x2. more taxing on the phone battery tho. then there's my elite controller. i'm fortunate to have choices.
