STEP ⭐✨ NFC

was treated to a lovely plank steak by @rox360.bsky.social tonight as a swedish tradition 🦊🍽️

the first night was so good!! so much more spacious and danceable than the previous year's venue, with a nice floor for shuffling. going to try to dance as much as I can this year 🐾🦊 #NFC2026

nature is beautiful #NFC2026

Pizza Tower #NFC2026

they've opened the venue for the dances at nfc this year and it is looking fantastic 🐾🦊 and my hotel is right across the street from it hehe

registered!

one weird step in the nfc registration queue

one of the announcements at the chicago airport sounds like hand unit from fnaf and it is wild hearing that voice say "set your SSID to Boingo Hotspot"

first airport water bottle fill of the trip, see you soon nfc 🦊✈️

I managed to bring my favorite dancing shoes ever back to life.. they were completely discolored and the soles were coming apart from dancing so much, but after an overnight oxiclean soak and a generous amount of e6000 adhesive they are shuffling like I remember again 🐾🦊

I'm all packed and heading out tomorrow! who will I be seeing at #NFC2026? 🦊🎪

I got my annual bisexual glow sticks for the raves at nfc hehe

I got my stickers in! the corn dog one turned out unreasonably well, it is exactly mini corn dog sized hehe

incredible new feature added to pokemon go

I am at 11 fully repaired, tested, and assembled switches now, or 20% of that giant 55 unit lot 🦊👍 let's see how many more I can fix hehe

an easy repair for today; when the switch's battery drains below a critical level, the battery itself turns off its output, to protect from over-discharging and damaging the cell. the console can't charge it, and without disassembly, appears to be totally dead.. but all it needs is a little juice 🦊🧃

in all the switches I've worked on, this is the first one I have seen with ring fit adventure on it.. it really is such a charming and well-designed game that makes exercising feel accessible and rewarding, I highly recommend it 🦊👍

I guess I could try...

got this one reassembled and stress testing.. think I am going to take a break from the actual repair work for now and focus on listing the repaired units and otherwise getting ready for nfc

fell for the "quick" usb port replacement trap again.. they always seem to have torn pads like this. I didn't have any copper repair pads on hand, so I reused the ones that were pulled off. I'm glad I fixed it, but I could go a long time without doing another switch usb repair...

a lovely sunset sky on my walk tonight 🦊🌇

this is literally what I tell people haha

he is now small slut and mini corndog for sticker purposes

fluffier......

I am very happy about this, I had somehow missed most of these items every year since I started playing, and only realized last year, which was the first year they didn't do it.. overjoyed to finally have canon bisexual meowscles loading screen

fortnite brought back the free rainbow royale items!!!🌈🦊✨

smaller......

kind of a miserable repair day if I am honest.. spent all day on one unit that had a damaged charging port, replacing and reflowing it multiple times with no video output. exhausted, I shifted my focus to the video chip itself, which is my least favorite chip to replace.. it is finally working now
