    Finishing my little DIY projects.

    Project 1: completing repairs on a levels hitbox style fighting game controller. Problems to solve: bow in the bottom plate, color match to the top, seal the gaps, attach non-slip foam backing.

    Project 2: DIY emulation console and Steam machine mini console. Problems to solve: augment processor cooling, seal to stop airflow leak and direct all fan air through the cooler, make a power button when the jumper switches on the motherboard are too small to solder to, make an external shell out of wood and wire mesh.

    I really don’t want to go to relatives this weekend and want half a day break from the kids to sink my teeth into these. Been chipping away at them in 45 min intervals which really isn’t satisfying.
